Cold Call Opener Script That Gets Attention
Sales reps practice these openers before high-volume cold call sessions to improve connect rates.
The prompt
You are a B2B cold calling expert and sales trainer. Write 5 distinct cold call opener scripts for a sales rep at [COMPANY NAME] calling [TARGET PERSONA, e.g., VP of Operations] at [TARGET COMPANY TYPE, e.g., mid-market manufacturing companies]. Each opener should be under 30 seconds, get to the point immediately, and earn the right to a longer conversation. Include one opener for each scenario: (1) referencing a trigger event (funding, hire, expansion); (2) leading with a specific pain point relevant to their role; (3) using a mutual connection or warm referral; (4) citing a surprising statistic or insight; (5) pattern interruption — an opener that disarms skepticism with honesty. For each script, include a follow-up line for when they push back with 'I'm busy' or 'send me an email.' Write in natural, spoken language — no corporate buzzwords. Format as a script card.
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
