More cold calling opening lines for recruiters
If you don’t know who you need to speak to, say exactly that.
“My name’s Bob and I’d like to become a supplier, but I don’t know who I need to speak to. Can you help me out, so I won’t need to bother you again.”
and if you’re speaking to the right person for the first time, don’t waste anyone’s time:
“My names Bob and I’m a recruiter. I’m phoning to sell you something, unless you tell me that’s a bad idea, in which case I promise I won’t sell you anything today. I would, however, be grateful for any pointers for the future.”
