Why Cold Calling Does Not Work
Why Cold Calling Does Not Work. Cold calling does not work when salespeople start the call with tricks, gimmicks, or awkward permission-based openers.
In this video, Matt Easton explains why saying things like “This is a cold call, do you want to hang up or give me 30 seconds?” can immediately damage trust and make the buyer take you less seriously.
The problem is not cold calling itself.
The problem is how most salespeople are taught to do it.
If your opener feels clever, scripted, manipulative, or self-serving, the prospect can feel it right away.
A better cold call should quickly show:
Who you are
Why you are calling
How you are connected to the person or their business situation
Why the conversation may be useful
Why they can trust you
Why this is not just another random sales pitch
Cold calling works when you are skillful.
Cold calling fails when you try to trick people into staying on the phone.
