Cold Openers is both:
a) A live, team-building workshop (onsite or virtual)
b) A self-paced course.
Each shows team members crafting how to craft icebreakers for cold outreach that:
1) Both are unknown to their audience 2) have 5-10 seconds to say something relevant to them & 3) another 5-10 to elicit an emotional reaction from them.
Prospectors can use a comedian’s approach to start more conversations.
Thankfully, the word “cold” can be used to create beautiful humor which can highlight challenges you solve for your prospects.
