Cold Calling

Cold calling for deals worth calling about

At high contract values the phone often out-converts every other channel — and gets abused more than any of them. We run it the other way: precise lists, callers who understand your buyer's world, and honest arithmetic about what booking a meeting actually takes.

Book a 30-minute callWe'll run your dial-to-meeting math live.
Where it fits

Best as one channel in a coordinated motion — paired with cold email and LinkedIn, orchestrated in multi-channel outbound.

Dials, honestly

The math nobody wants to say out loud

Sometimes it takes 500 dials to book one meeting worth having. Not always — but a plan that assumes otherwise is a plan that fails in month two. We work out your real ratio at your contract size, and staff capacity around that number instead of hoping.

Scale it to fit

The staffing ladder

  1. Rung 011 / 3
    One dedicated caller

    A single caller assigned to your account, briefed on your market.

    When it fits

    Testing whether the phone works for your buyer.

  2. Rung 022 / 3
    Two to three callers

    Split by segment or time zone, sharing one script library.

    When it fits

    A proven motion that needs more coverage.

  3. Rung 033 / 3
    A regional team

    Callers matched to region and language, one playbook across all.

    When it fits

    Selling across North America, Europe or MENA at once.

Callers are dedicated to your account, not shared across a call-centre floor. Seniority scales with deal complexity.

Signal-qualified lists

Every dial has a reason behind it

We call accounts showing buying signals, not names pulled from a directory. The difference between a cold call and an untimely one is whether the caller can answer "why are you calling me today."

Scripts that survive contact

Written per buyer, revised weekly

Each persona gets its own script and objection handling, tested on real calls and rewritten based on what's actually working — not what sounded good in a document.

Persona · VP Sales / Series BRevised weekly
  1. v1Opening tested — pickup felt cold
  2. v2Reframed around signal — better first 20s
  3. v3Objection swap on pricing — meetings up

Scripts are living documents, not swipe-file copies.

What buyers push back on
  • · "Not a priority this quarter"
  • · "We tried that, it didn't stick"

LinkedIn

Feedback loop

The phone is your best research tool

Every call is logged and coded, and what buyers say out loud sharpens the email and LinkedIn copy too. Nothing tells you why messaging isn't landing faster than hearing someone push back on it live.

FAQ

Common questions every first call.

Not for high-value B2B — a real conversation often converts better than any digital channel. What's dead is calling untargeted lists with a generic pitch.
