Mastering Cold Calls: My Personal Guide to Engaging New Business Prospects
In my journey as a business leader and through my experiences shared in Forbes, I’ve learned that cold calling and reaching out to new business prospects is an art that requires both strategy and empathy. The challenge lies in breaking through the barrier of unfamiliarity to establish a meaningful connection. My approach involves thorough research about the prospect, understanding their needs, and crafting a message that resonates with them on a personal level.

From personalizing your approach to being patient and respectful of the prospect’s time, these strategies are about building trust and rapport.
