How to Write the Perfect Cold Call Opener (Using Human Psychology) If you’ve ever wondered “What’s the best cold call opener?” — here’s the truth: Most salespeople lose the call in the first 10 seconds. They jump in with a pushy script, the prospect feels sold to, and the call is dead before it’s even started. The perfect cold call opener isn’t about sounding clever — it’s about understanding psychology: ✅ Permission → “Can I steal 30 seconds?” creates control and respect. ✅ Curiosity → Make them lean in, not tune out. ✅ Pattern Interrupts → Break the robotic “sales call” expectation. ✅ Authority & Calmness → Your tone matters more than your words. When you master these elements, you’ll never again sound like “just another salesperson” — you’ll sound like a human worth listening to. We break down word-for-word examples of the best cold call openers inside our #1 bestselling book Sales Is Therapy. 👉 Grab your copy on Amazon here: Sales Is Therapy #ColdCalling #SalesTraining #SalesTips #SalesIsTherapy #ColdCallOpener #SalesCoaching #SalesStrategy #OutboundSales #SalesMindset #SalesCall
