Cold calling a hiring manager I found on LinkedIn...

Transcript

Hey, is this Nadia? Oh, yes, speaking. This is Abby. Sorry, I know you probably weren't expecting my call. I actually found you on LinkedIn after applying for the sales role at your company, and I was just wondering if I could grab, like, 30 seconds to explain why I'm calling? What company did you apply for? Northwestern Mutual. I have a couple of years of experience in content and marketing, but I've recently been spending a lot more time learning sales, on experience, getting hands-on experience because I'm looking to transition into a sales role, and part of that has been using SalesEcho to work on prospecting and handling objections. I just feel like I'm ready to now step into a sales role after practicing for these past few months. I mean, yeah, look, I don't actually manage hiring, okay? Yeah, totally. I, uh, I figured that might be the case. I guess I was more hoping to get your perspective. And if there's anyone that you think I should speak to after that, maybe you could point me in the right direction? Oh, yeah, be happy to do a quick chat and maybe introduce you to someone. Yeah, if you could just send me those details over in a chat on LinkedIn, that would be great. Uh, sure. Thanks. Have a good one.
