More cold calling opening lines for recruiters

by Matthew on February 22nd, 2009

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.”
