Most people will know if they are interested in your business within the first few seconds of a cold call. The way you start calls and grab attention is crucial to make sales. 

That’s why on this episode of Put That Coffee Down, hosts Kevin Hill and Richie Daigle are focused on going from phone call to appointment confirmation in the first eight seconds of talking to a sales prospect.

They welcome Conversionly co-founder Justin Oglesby to the show to discuss how important it is to nail the first impression. He shares his thoughts on lead generation versus actual selling and why he thinks it is so important to have a good process in place to make sales. 

The three discuss setting meetings, appointments and timelines with clients and break down how long it takes for people to become annoying when leaving repeated messages.
