You know that kid in the produce aisle who has no idea where the dill is? The one who starts apologizing and wandering around while your brain checks out? That's what most prospecting calls sound like in the first 20 seconds. In this episode, Art breaks down exactly what's happening in your prospect's brain the moment they pick up the phone, why most common openers actually trigger the resistance you're trying to avoid, and the simple 4-part framework that makes prospects lean in instead of push away. You'll hear two side-by-side versions of the same call, one that sounds like the apple guy and one that sounds like a professional peer, so you can hear the difference for yourself. Plus, one thing you can do before your very next call to close the gap between how you think you sound and how you actually sound. This is all based on the new First 20 Seconds Formula Masterclass http://First20Seconds, showing you exactly what to say, and avoid, to get people wanting to talk to you, instead of trying to get rid of you.
