Amy O’Connor . As a sales coach, consultant and trainer, much of what clients pay me for or expect of me is to teach their sales teams sales techniques: how to ask discovery questions, how to close buyers, how to create urgency, etc. The problem is that most of the time the technique is just a small part of the issue. ?Your technique will only ever be as strong as you mindset.

Many salespeople swear this is one of the best cold call opening lines: “Did I catch you at a bad time?”. At one point, they were right to think so. Here’s the theory behind it: People like to say “no.”. It makes them feel in control. So when you ask “Did I catch you at a bad time,” they want to say “no.”. It opens the door to a successful cold call.

Unfortunately, many sellers don’t even believe that cold meetings result in sales.
