• Say the numbers separately – one- nine – five
44 is double four, 777 is triple seven

Important Phrases

Hang up – There’s someone outside that is waiting for me. I’m sorry but I need to hang up and call you later.
Hold on – If you can hold on for a few more minutes.
Put you through – I will put you through to someone who can help.
Cut off – If we get cut off I’ll call you straight back.

The best time for a cold call

The best time to call is during the morning between 9 am – 11 am. During this time the potential client is more willing to answer. Most of his/ her calls are made during the mornings and when you are in non-stop calls you are more willing to answer everyone. During the next business hours, the client is not so involved with non-stop phone conversations and might be concentered on other work that we decrease the potential of answering.

The best day for a cold call

The best day to look for an opportunity to introduce a potential customer to you or your products/services is Tuesday. On Mondays, customers are always super busy with a lot of important tasks and will not pay attention to you. Wednesday is also a convenient day to call. On Thursday, more people will postpone your offer for Friday, which runs until next week, and you may not receive any response in the end.
