The 10 Best Cold Calling Scripts: Your Go-To Frameworks for 2024

The 10 Best Cold Calling Scripts: Your Go-To Frameworks for 2024

While email remains by far the most popular business communication channel in 2024, it would be wrong to assume that that’s the only way to get the job done. In fact, 54% of tech buyers prefer cold calls as the initial point of contact, who would have thought? 

There’s a common misconception that cold calls aren’t effective any longer, and to be fair—in some industries and case scenarios, that is the case. But when it comes to B2B sales, and especially so for the SaaS industry, cold calls are a powerful addition to every sales team’s playbook. 

With only a few minutes to get your prospect’s attention and interest, cold calling is a complex art of its own, and while there are many elements that make it successful, the quality of your script will often be the sole determining factor of success or failure.   

And while the 2024 conversion rate of cold calls is just 4.82%, they empower sales reps to expand their prospecting reach, grow their company’s brand awareness, and discover invaluable information about their target account for sales and marketing campaigns. 

Buckle up as we explore numerous tips for closing more deals via the phone, along with 10 proven sales scripts for cold calling, covering various use cases.

Always-winning cold-calling template structure

While there are virtually an unlimited number of ways to structure your template sample, here’s the generally-agreed secret formula to an effective sales cold call

  • Greeting → keep it short and friendly and introduce yourself (name/title/company)
  • Reason for call → make your objective clear from the get-go to respect your prospect’s time 
  • Clear, concise value proposition → how can your proposal make the prospect’s life easier? 
  • Include open-ended discovery questions → the goal here is to strike a conversation and better understand if there’s a fit 
  • Prepare responses for common objections → in most cases, you will face some kind of objection, so your script has to cover each potential outcome  
  • Suggest the next step forward with your CTA → just like in emails, it’s on the sales rep to clearly outline the next step in the potential sale/partnership 
  • Leave room for questions → always welcome questions, and always be battle-ready to answer each one.

The ultimate sales calls playbook: checklist, best practices, proven scripts

If you think you could use some help with cold calls, here’s a simple checklist and ready-to-use scripts to get you through.

Top 8 cold-calling tips for your success

Whether it’s a cold call, email, or a LinkedIn message, the most important rules are applied across the board—ensure you’re contacting relevant prospects, prioritize providing value over pushing the sale, and tailor your value proposition to their unique business needs. 

Now, let’s take a look at the top 8 tips for effective cold calling to increase your chances of establishing a connection for a potential sale:

Be aware of your tone

The tone of your cold call has to feel natural, consistent, friendly yet professional, and in tune with your brand identity, and believe it or not — the wording of your template will play a role in your tone. 

It’s also a good idea to remain flexible and be able to adjust your tone to your prospect. For instance, if they seem rushed, try to be snappy and stick to shorter questions and statements. 

Become a conversational chameleon!

Prepare your discovery questions 

Having relevant discovery questions will help you evaluate whether there’s a good fit between your product and their business, how to tailor future sales and marketing campaigns, and most importantly—showcase to your prospects that you’re genuinely interested in providing value rather than pushing for the sale from the get-go. 

Make sure the questions you pose are open-ended to make it a real dialogue rather than another sales pitch.

Make your script template customizable

Consistency is key in most business endeavors, but when it comes to cold calling, your script has to be flexible and customizable, considering every prospect and target business account is unique, each having their own unique pain points, business objectives, existing tool stack, and ‘style’ of business operations. 

Similarly, your script has to cover each potential direction the conversation could go to keep the call natural and effective. 

Conduct extensive research 

Drawing back to the previous point, it’s crucial to hyper-personalize your cold calling script to each unique prospect, and to do so, be prepared to take a few minutes to research them first. 

Be it LinkedIn, their company website, or existing customer/company data — make sure to personalize value propositions with relevant data (you’ll also get bonus points for showing you took the time to do your homework).

Focus on your prospect and their business 

The best-case scenario of a cold call is to get your prospect talking, because, at the end of the day, it is all about them, not you, your product, or your business. 

Once you show genuine interest in what they have to say, they will be naturally more inclined to keep the conversation going. 

Be a great speaker and an even better listener!

Include social proof

Building trust over the phone is far from easy, even when name-dropping your company and title. 

One bullet-proof solution to this is to drop in some social proof, for instance by mentioning a few big clients in the same industry that already use your product, and ideally—some numbers backing up how they helped them grow their business.

Equip with the right technology 

Can you just make all your cold calls with a simple phone? Yes. Is it the most optimal way to conduct those calls? Probably not. 

There are numerous sales tools with extensive cloud-calling features such as AI-powered note-taking and suggestions. Sales engagement platforms like Reply.io on the other hand empower sales teams to keep track of all their calls and provide analytics to further improve their performance.

Incorporate other channels 

Last but not least, to increase the effectiveness of your cold calls, it’s best to include them in multichannel sequences, along with emails, LinkedIn messages, and other touchpoints. 

For example, sending an email or LinkedIn message some days before the call allows prospects to put a face to the name once you do call them, and that can go a really long way!

A few things to avoid in your cold calls

Cold calling, when you get it right, is a fantastic way to connect with new business clients and grow your network. 

However, there are a few common mistakes that can turn your call into a flop. To help you out, here’s a rundown of what to avoid to keep your calls smooth, professional, and engaging.

  • Sounding robotic → don’t read scripts verbatim. Be natural and conversational.
  • Skipping research → know your prospect’s company and industry. It shows you’re prepared.
  • Talking too much → engage in a two-way conversation. Listen more than you speak.
  • Being pushy → focus on solving problems, not just making a sale. Build trust first.
  • Neglecting follow-ups → always follow through on promises. It shows reliability.
  • Ignoring objections → prepare for common objections and respond confidently.
  • Using jargon → keep language clear and simple. Avoid confusing buzzwords.
  • Forgetting next steps → always establish clear next steps before ending the call.
  • Disregarding time → respect the prospect’s time. Don’t push if they’re busy.
  • Not reviewing → regularly review and improve your approach based on feedback.

Here are a couple of extra things to watch out for when cold calling (they’re pretty bad):

Gatekeeper: What is this regarding?

Rep: I wanted to discuss {{Your company’s main selling point/new business opportunity}}. I sent an email to {{Prospect’s First Name}}, and I’m following up on that. They’ll know what it’s regarding.

Interest 👇

Objection 👇 

  1. Gatekeeper does not transfer you → request a callback time

Rep: I understand they’re busy. Could you suggest a good time for me to call back when they might be available?

  1. Gatekeeper does not transfer you → ask for an alternative contact

Rep: I understand. Is there someone else on their team who might be able to assist with this?

  1. Gatekeeper does not transfer you → offer to send information

Rep: No problem. Could I send some information to {{Prospect’s First Name}} via email? What’s the best email address for them?

  1. Gatekeeper does not transfer you → leave a voicemail

Rep: I understand. Could you please transfer me to their voicemail so I can leave a detailed message?

  1. Gatekeeper does not transfer you → schedule a follow-up

Rep: I get that they’re tied up right now. How about I give them a call back tomorrow at the same time, or is there a better time you’d suggest?

Getting past a gatekeeper can be tricky, but here are some tips to help you out:

  • Be confident → speak with authority and confidence to make it sound like you belong.
  • Build rapport → be friendly and personable; a little small talk can go a long way.
  • Use their name → address the gatekeeper by their name to create a personal connection.
  • Keep it vague → sometimes less detail is more; simply say it’s a personal or important business matter.

  • Mention a referral → if you can, drop a name of a mutual connection or referral to add credibility.

  • Be specific → suggest a specific time for the demo.
  • Follow up → confirm the time and send a calendar invite.

  • Be friendly → start with a casual introduction.
  • Show value → explain how you can help them.
  • Handle concerns → be ready with responses to objections.

Rep: {{Follow the discovery call script}}

Cold call script after the previous touchpoint

If you’ve already sent the prospect an email and/or a LinkedIn message, that can be a great opening line to help them put a face to the name and get an idea of who you are and why you’re calling.

  • Be persistent → show you’re following up to add value.
  • Offer more info → provide additional details.
  • Plan next steps → suggest a follow-up meeting or call.
  • Keep the door open → ask when would be a better time if they’re not interested now.

Rep: Great! {{Follow the discovery call script}}

Prospect: {{Response}}

Rep: Excellent, I’ll send that information right away and follow up as discussed. What’s the best email address to reach you at? And just to cover all bases, is there anyone else on your team who might find this relevant?

Prospect: {{Response}}

Rep: Perfect, I’ll get that over to you. Thanks again for your time, {{Prospect’s Name}}. Have a great day!

  • Address issues → tackle any past concerns directly.
  • Highlight benefits → remind them of past benefits.

Objection 👇

Could we perhaps discuss how our new features might save you money or drive more revenue in the long run? I’d be happy to provide some specific examples.

Client: {{Response}}

Rep: Great! How about I send you some detailed information via email outlining the potential cost savings and benefits? You can review it at your convenience, and then we can follow up next week. Does that sound good?
