I tried this and the person told me to get lost. 10/10 would recommend

[Grannyhauenstein]

"I'm a little lost" sounds like you need to stop at a gas station for directions or get a better GPS. Not for a sales call.

[jenninemorel]

Do not say you are lost😂😂😂😂
They will immediately tell you where to go

Just say "Hey, I'm doing cold outreach calls and I would like about 3-5 minutes of your time, would that be ok?"

Simple, straight to the point, no BS

[onthebits]

Why would you buy or give trust to someone who’s “lost”

[psychedelicspirit]

"how are you doing today" is the number 1 deal breaker for me.

[LetsWorkZay]

This is the ONE!!! I’ve scheduled appointments with 4 clients back to back using this line today, 10/10 for sure

[JahnnyKash]

People ask for 30 secs of their time to explain what you are calling for and how you can fix their issue. I do this all the time, and it works

[Meghan_]

Don’t ever start with “how are you doing” steam into their “wants”

Example how to and not to close:

Not to:
So this looks good right?
The loan looks good right?

As a professional mortgage banker it leads to more objections

How to close:
So obviously this makes a ton of sense so the next steps WE (remember we are a “team we are doing this “together”) are gonna do IS walk through a verbal application
Remember true sales: objections are buying sale

This is good right… nope

We are moving forward… do NOT use questions

This works! It got me 7 new clients in just 1 day using this!! Thanks man

I would never tell someone “I’m a little lost” when you I called the client and I know the clients name. Rather say “I’m a bit confused, I have seen on our system that there was communication between our companies that was not concluded. Could we speak about that for a few minutes and give a reminder of what we do” most of these people don’t even read emails so they won’t know if there was or wasn’t previous communication.

Have you literally done this live? I would like to see this live

[joeydollaz]

Haha.. so many haters yet this guy probably generated more revenue than every commenter combined. Dude knows what works.

I'm not trying to sound ungrateful for your advise and/or success in this approach, but being on the East Coast, I could see getting the phone slammed on me with and without a sarcastic response from the prospect for appearing too aloof. It don't think it'll be cute to a businessman. It'll probably irritate him, thus, dislike me and I've always found that if a stranger finds something in my voice, wording, and style overall, that person will be more likely to follow my lead, or at the least, engage in a quick conversation.

In most cases, though, there's both a collective and individual understanding to the receiver, that I'm down to earth through my manner of speaking that conveys confidence with a sense of humor.

I wouldn't literally ever say that I'm a little lost an opener. If and when there's a chance of a name being wrong, then I'll respond accordingly, like a human. If there's an impulse for me to make a funny statement with that, then typically, my comedic timing is received - but, not always, which is fine. I learned humility through the stage as a musician years ago.

Anyway, I appreciate the video for the inspiration of thought in reaction to it, since it means that I'd have to speak in observance of my own success throughout the decades of calling prospects for various businesses.

My advise is to be pleasant in attitude, easy to get along with, have flexibility within any environ or objection that's apparent, and look at the prospect as someone you're serving and not selling. This way, the emphasis is on how the product or service is going to benefit the prospect with practicality.

This approach doesn’t work for Real estate really from my experience but again cold calling is one of those things where everyone has to find there niche

[arsaurabh]

Hahahaha this is how you turn cold call into Ice Cold 🥶🤣.

[RossMaynardProcessExcellence]

Interesting but still "salesy". Might it also be deceitful? You are not actually "lost", you know exactly where you want to go! However, I do like it. It is intriguing enough for the prospect for them to give you those few seconds to hook them.

How else could you intrigue them without pretending to be "lost"?

[deet-vision]

That might work with a 5 year old answering the phone who is John Jr. Then he'll tell his dad John Sr, a stranger is on the line who is lost.😂

[ratgirl]

Actually Patrick...isn’t it weird telling someone you’re a little lost? How does that line work and help us open the cold call? :)

[twinkletoes]

Im literally using this now. Its funny how no matter the field, there will always be sales people who are looking for advice/tips but then shoot down and pick apart what people share. This is a pattern disrupt, its a way to get your foot in the door and disarm the prospect. By the time you start talking they have already forgotten about the im lost intro. His tonality shows confidence all the while disarming. Its a great opener. Just try different techniques for an extended time to see if it works, if it doesn't try something else! Everyone has a different style but for me it actually has worked well.

[tomcaki]

I love this.. It makes you to come off as a real human being - and not some robot repeating some script from paper. Nice
