The biggest mistake companies are making when cold calling is making a truly cold call. With absolutely no information about the prospect. Cold calling first began in the 1800s. Long before the invention of the internet.
Today, there’s no reason to call someone if you truly know nothing about them. Even two minutes on the internet can give you some insights into the compelling challenges of a particular industry and the history of the company you’re calling on.
That little bit of data allows you to make a more authentic connection earlier, and build a relationship, versus “cold” pitching that is generic. If your Noble Purpose is to add value to customers, you need to understand them before pitching your solution.
