How to Turn Any Cold Call Into a Next Step

March 11, 2026 @ 12:00PM ET

Cold calls are won or lost in the first five seconds. If you sound unsure, scripted, or generic, the conversation is over before it starts.

Sara Uy, Isa Sher and Adia Toll will break down a modern cold call that earns time and drives to a next step. You will learn how to sound calm and credible fast, choose the right opening play, and build relevance without rambling or pitching.

They will show two opening approaches that work for different situations. One earns a quick 20 to 30 seconds with a clean micro commitment. The other starts with a direct meeting ask, followed by tailored value and one smart question that earns the conversation.

You will leave with a simple call flow you can run immediately, plus objection pivots that help you stay composed when prospects brush you off, say they are busy, or push back on the reason for your call.

What You'll Learn:

How to win the first five seconds with tone and a credible opener that earns 30 seconds

When to use a permission based opening versus a direct meeting ask based on context

A repeatable flow to land next steps and handle resistance by re anchoring on value
