Picture this:

You cold call a high-level prospect for the 8th time not expecting an answer.

But on the fourth ring, he picks up:

“Hello.”

“Hello Mr. Prospect, I’m Jonathan from xyz company do you have a few minutes to discuss how we can help your business with our product?”

CLICK! He hangs up.

In frustration, you ask yourself why you couldn’t get even get two words out of him.
