Never say this when appointment setting

The worst thing a lead over the phone, if you're calling them up and trying to set an appointment or trying to sell them something is asking them how their day is going. And let me explain why now. 99% of the people that I speak to, this one here absolutely just blows their brain. And the reason to is why we don't actually ask people how their day is going when me and my appointment setters are calling up leads is because that is the exact same thing that every other telemarketer does when they call. It's the first thing they ask them. If you get from a number you don't recognise on the phone's, asking how your day is going or if you had a good weekend, who on earth do you think you're speaking to? As the lead realises they're on a telemarketer, they assume they're gonna get sold something. The sales guy goes up and you'll probably hit with objections like I'm busy and not a good time to chat. So instead of asking them how their day is going, ask them a reason to us calling today. Example, if this is a lead that's clicked on your ads, so I was giving you a quick call to see what's actually had you click on the ad in the first place. Or if you call somebody and they haven't clicked on your ad, look, I was just giving you a quick call to see whether or not X, Y, Z might actually be relevant towards yourself. So if you're finding it hard to keep people on the phone and actually have some really good productive conversations when you're working in sales, just don't ask them how their day is going.
