@@mfgreviews5028 He said he made 100 calls the day before knowing this trick and couldn't book an appointment. But after using the trick he booked one today. I think you misunderstood.

@@witnesstothestupid right... but most cold callers jump straight into a pitch without permission so when they hear you say " hey, you're probably going to hate me for this but" you come across as genuine and honest and it nearly nullifies sales resistance
Trying this out today. Seems much more comfortable than the traditional approach. Labeling it as cold call and acknowledging their dislike of cold calls, PLUS giving them an opportunity to say no is so powerful.
Learnt that in May 2019 from a video on RUclips: "I'll be up-front Billy, this is a cold call, do you want to hang up? or can I have 30 seconds?" best opening line for cold calls to medium-large business owners.
Hey Matt! Just wanted to say that I just used this and I have 14 appointments set-up! This is great. Continue what you're doing! New subscriber here! :)
This video alone earned a sub brother! Used to do sales over a decade ago and back to cutting my teeth on cold calling. This is one of the most natural introductions I've ever heard. Thank you!
Matt covered it, but the most important part of this isn't the script, exactly, but the way that he says it. When you seem like a nice guy, you can even laugh at yourself, perhaps be slightly goofy, they rarely take the out that you give them. Later in the conversation, I like to give them a second out: "Okay Chris, I asked you for a minute and I want to be respectful of that. Should I let you go or can I take just a couple more minutes to explain how I've made business owners just like you 28% more in revenue this year with no new customers?"
I like it. It's kind of like setting a low bar for standards that you can easily hurdle. When I walk and talk in small businesses, I hand them my business card and tell them that it's pretty aerodynamic and they can hit the trashcan from about 15 feet. That almost always draws a laugh and breaks them out of their auto-reject mode.
like it a lot!experiences and once they start talking interrupt and say if they want to hung up as you had your 30 sec or continue talking. You stay in control of the conversation.
Ok, I watched your video this morning & decided to try this today. I cold call for auto and home insurance. And this method KEPT THE CUSTOMERS ON THE PHONE. lol it works and I even scheduled a sales call for tomorrow using this! Good stuff! 👍👍
Hey Matt, have you already made that video on how to handle prospects that hang up? I am new to your channel, but you are killing it with these opening liners! Thanks!
Love it! To add on, Chris Voss himself has said that it’s very important to include your first name and company in your intro. Additionally, using a no oriented question in the beginning ( Start with a No) is also something he preachers. Perhaps something to consider.
@@andrewwilkinson4153 a No-oriented question is one that is trying to illicit a 'No' in order to continue instead of a 'Yes'. Yes often makes us feel like 'what an I opening myself up to by saying yes?' No often makes us feel protected because we're fear-based. Every one of us are fear-based, & we're 3x more likely to say no to something than yes becausee we all have a limbic system that's at the root of our decision-making process. We calculate loss as a priority over whether there's any gain in the decision, so No's often make us feel like we're not losing anything. And there's always something more important to your counterpart than making the deal so starting with No-oriented questions get us somewhere faster with a much stronger long-term bond.
@@andrewwilkinson4153 For example: Hey, it's Andrew Wilkinson, you are propably not familiar with my name or am I completely wrong? Contact says 100 %: No, I'm not.
@Matt Macnamara haha appreciate the reply! Because of that I will update everyone here on how it goes. My niche will be getting affluent magazine sales combined with digital retargeting of those same consumers.
@@MattMacnamara If you're on the phone with the gatekeeper rather than the DM--who they're trying to keep you away from--not sure what good that would do. I start most of my cold calls knowing the DM's name, but that doesn't get you any closer to talking to the DM a good % of the time.
@@douglasparks8430 I hear you. I've always had Zoominfo where I get direct office lines and cell phones so I rarely ever talk to a Gatekeeper. I would only open calls this way if I was speaking directly to the DM.
Hi can you please create a sample cold call script speaking to a potential job candidate who has applied to a job posting looking for an RN but she's missing proof of insurance on her application.
@@MattMacnamara absolutely my guy! I stay watching your videos. Albeit I'm not in the same industry, your information is very interchangeable with various fields. Keep delivering this 🔥🔥🔥 content. Bless up....
I don't deal with a lot of GKs because I call mostly cell phones. If I did, I would ask for help and if they could point me in the right direction of the person who heads up XYZ
@@MattMacnamara If you ever create that video, be sure to post it here on my FB group for my members to watch aight? facebook.com/groups/UAEVisitVisaWalkers
I think the tip was great. I think your energy is great and sincere. Constructive feedback. Do your videos in a more professional area. Doing it in your bedroom really takes away from the credibility of your advice. Keep up the good work.
@Matt Macnamara It seems like you are less inspired by Voss (no-oriented), and more inspired by someone else (looking for a yes to "can I steal a minute")?
@@MattMacnamara Piqued my interest, but then I heard the Yes Train coming in.. And No's are so much more valuable. "Is it a bad time to talk" is good. "Am I catching you in the middle of anything?" is better. "Is it a horrible time to talk?" "Would you wanna call the cops if I steal a minute?" "Would it be out of the question to steal a minute?" I'm interested to hear how this has evolved since posting nearly a year ago, or if you've changed to something different entirely. Next, it's important that you're squeezing TRUST & COMPTENCY into the following 7-10 seconds to move forward & minimize wasting your time or theirs. And lastly I'm sorry, something seems off or missing from your Accusations Audit (beside it being just 1 accusation). Clearly you're getting results by calling things out for what they are from their point of view -- from their truth -- and not afraid to point out negatives about yourself. Busy people respect that; there's a level of trust you garner by not hiding negatives about what you're doing, being humorous and so forward that you're snapping them out of the usual rut with your frankness. I'm just saying results could be even better if you change it to driving for a No response.
Chris Voss is changing all games involving people interaction. I have a theory that the acquisitions out it would be the best way to move forward with cold calls and it’s great seeing some proven that are behind it. Keep crushing it
Would this work in real estate? I like to let them know I am interested in buying their house right after letting them know who I am. I do not want them to hang up without knowing my intentions. I feel like I lost an opportunity. Trying to increase my leads obviously 😬
Yes. Recommended in the book: "New Sales Simplified", by Mike Weinberg. Not a huge fan of "is this a bad time?" because it gives the prospect an easy out in saying, "yeah this is a bad time."
@@MattMacnamara hahaha my experience exactly! Everybody says yes to that. If you dont have many prospect don't do that. However. It's not a bad thing if you want to be remembered in the future. But if sales must go in....do something else.
@@MattMacnamara That should be in your title not the FBI hostage negotiator. These are very opposite teachings & methodologies. If you read Never Split The Difference you'd understand the principal & how it's so far off base from everything you just said and for those exact reasons.
@@chelseacosgrove351 You are 100% right Chelsea. Chris Voss is a big fan of the question, "Is now a bad time?" I haven't had much success with it, but you are correct.
@@MattMacnamara its more of a investment group that is passionate about negotiating. We host negotiation simulations and talk about how we can improve for next time. How do you feel about joining our next group meeting?
I get specific and ask what time/day/time of day to call back. Depending on the situation (has been hard to get them on the phone) I may ask if it's better to email/text instead. You have to meet people where they are at using the communication method they prefer. Since I set appointments I will usually try to go ahead and schedule saying would this time or this time be better for a quick meeting.
Noo ways I will ask if they will probably gonna hate me for this, and they wanna hang up or not. I go straight to the point. Good day, may I kindly speak to Mr Smith? My name is Ray from.... with operating in the neighborhood and I am calling to offer my service to home owners who are looking to sell or rent out their homes. Have you ever considered selling?
[Prospects name] i appreciate you taking my call. listen [name] [slight laughing tonality smiling], you're probably going to hate me for this. this is actually a cold call, do you want to hang up or can i steal a minute.
The immensely awesome Brandon Mulrenin uses this - "Hi, this is Brandon, I'm a local Realtor - I'm sure you're getting hammered by every agent in town, amirite?"
Stolen almost word for word from Benjamin, the UK’s most hated sales trainer. He actually uses this. I don’t believe you called anyone using this, prove me wrong and post a video.
I don't know man, 'You´re probably going to hate me for this' if you said that to me, I would just think you are going to give me the bad news. Not an offer. I'd prefer something like 'Hey Chad, thank you for taking my call, am I calling you in a bad time?' If they said 'Yes, I'm at work right now' you can just say 'Ok, no problem Chad, I'm Matt from (your company) when is it a good time for you? I just want to quickly show you something you would like to know in regards to your website' (or whatever your offer is) What do you think?
Cold calling is all about finding what your style is, what works for you and rolling with it. If that works well for you then keep using it on your calls. I would say that it's always "a bad time" when you call someone, they are busy, you are interrupting their day, but if it works keep using it.
@@MattMacnamara Well, that's true. Being honest and direct that it is a cold call could work great too. I will try it. The offer has to be great for it to work. Have a good one Matt!
@@MattMacnamara He's a client controller type salesperson and it doesn't work as much as people think. Sales is all about timing and chemistry. If people have no intention of talking to you, there's no script you can every come up with for negative sounding people.

@Matt Macnamara It seems like you are less inspired by Voss (no-oriented), and more inspired by someone else (looking for a yes to "can I steal a minute")?
Great catch Franck. If you want to make it no-oriented, just change the question to "would you be opposed to speaking with me for a minute?"
@@MattMacnamara
Piqued my interest, but then I heard the Yes Train coming in.. And No's are so much more valuable.

"Am I catching you in the middle of anything?" is better.
"Is it a horrible time to talk?"
"Would you wanna call the cops if I steal a minute?"
"Would it be out of the question to steal a minute?"
I'm interested to hear how this has evolved since posting nearly a year ago, or if you've changed to something different entirely.
Next, it's important that you're squeezing TRUST & COMPTENCY into the following 7-10 seconds to move forward & minimize wasting your time or theirs.
And lastly I'm sorry, something seems off or missing from your Accusations Audit (beside it being just 1 accusation). Clearly you're getting results by calling things out for what they are from their point of view -- from their truth -- and not afraid to point out negatives about yourself.

Damn cuz what part of the city do you live in
LOL. Used to live in Northern Liberties in Philly...I now live in the burbs
Fuck that's a good one. Trying this today.
I’ve tried this today and I get a lot of “actually call me back later” how do I come back from that?
I get specific and ask what time/day/time of day to call back. Depending on the situation (has been hard to get them on the phone) I may ask if it's better to email/text instead.
