Sharpen your cold calling technique by practicing with different gatekeepers and decision-makers.

What this scenario is for

Cold Call sessions simulate the first few minutes of an unplanned outbound call — getting past a gatekeeper, earning a few seconds of attention from a decision-maker, and handling early objections before you’ve built any rapport.

Personas

You’ll choose from personas representing different gatekeepers and decision-makers, each with a personality trait (for example, brusque and time-pressed, or open and curious) that shapes how hard the conversation will push back.

Tips for this scenario

  • Lead with a clear, specific reason for the call — vague openers get you screened out fastest.
  • Expect to be interrupted. Practice recovering your point in one sentence.
  • Try the same persona with a different personality trait to see how your opener holds up under more resistance.
