B2B cold calling needn’t be a dying art

Time and time again we hear experts say that “cold calling is dead”. But, with omnichannel experiences becoming the norm for consumers, is it really so? Or should cold calling have simply evolved into something else? Something better?

When it’s done right, cold calling is a critical aspect of your omnichannel marketing strategy. And we’re here to help you get it right...

Overcoming telephobia

As the world has become more digitalised, more and more people are becoming afraid to pick up the phone. Particularly amongst Millenials, we hear regularly that communication seems daunting when there’s no screen to hide behind.

With so many modes of communication available to us, it’s just too easy to put off making calls. Especially if you’re not sure what to say or how best to approach prospects.

Overcome this fear by learning how to build rapport quickly using tried-and-tested tools and techniques that really work.

Ready to dramatically improve your productivity and sales results? Furnish yourself or any client-facing staff with the confidence and skills to engage with people on the phone.
