The first 90 seconds of a sales call

Buyers decide in the first minute and a half whether a call is worth their time. Use it to earn attention, not to pitch.

  • State a reason for the call that is about their outcome.
  • Ask permission to ask a few questions.

Save the product for later. The first 90 seconds are about relevance.
