Description

Most cold calls die in the first 10 seconds, not because of bad fit, but because they sound just like the last five.

Zak Murray and Sara Uy showed you how to stand out from the noise with creative openers, real talk tracks, and timing tactics that actually spark conversations.

Learn how to earn attention fast, handle early pushback, and structure your call to build trust instead of pressure.

Whether you’re looking to break out of a calling slump or just want new material to test, this session gives you practical ideas you can try on your very next dial. 

You'll Learn:
  • Creative openers that use humor, tone, and pattern interrupts
  • Situational talk tracks for handling pushback in the first 10 seconds
  • The best times to call and how to structure the first 30 seconds for trust and momentum

The Speakers:

Will Aitken, Sara Uy and Zachary Murray
