10 Phone Prospecting Tools to Become a Cold Call Expert

Sales is a contact sport. It takes contact to make sales.

Phone prospecting is much different from email – it’s your chance to have a 1-on-1 with the prospect, and that can be intimidating. And that’s if you can even get past the gatekeeper and overcome call reluctance!?

Difficulties aside, I firmly believe the phone is the best prospecting tool out there.

I’ve trained thousands of salespeople at all skill levels and industries to sell more effectively on the phone. I compiled these same strategies–which have changed after 20 years in sales–and created my most content-rich course to date: Phone Prospecting: How to Warm Up That Cold Call.

Congratulations to all who have completed the Masterclass! If you haven't yet registered, enroll now! Early access closes on 8/25.

Let's begin – here are my 10 resources to help you become a cold call expert, no matter your experience!
