Description

A lot of prospects aren’t ghosting you, their phone is.

With iPhone’s Silence Unknown Callers, Android filters, and third-party blockers like Hiya and Robokiller, your dials may never even ring. Cold calling isn’t dead, but it has changed and reps need to adapt fast.

In this episode, Sara Uy and Will Aitken broke down what’s actually happening to your calls, how to improve your pickup rates, and what to say once you finally get someone on the line.

You’ll walk away with specific strategies, data-backed tips, and real examples that help turn silence into live conversations.

You'll Learn:
  • How to overcome mobile call screening features and get more pickups
  • Tactical ways to boost your connect rate
  • Hooks, tone shifts, and openers that keep conversations
