Depends on the client… whitespace account is more formal. Current customer i May crack a joke or two. Generally goes like “I’m the AM aligned to support you and your team. We’ll navigate your overall objectives together to build a plan that works around your needs. A little about me… been here X yrs, etc”

If others are on your team, it’s good to have them intro too but I’ll normally tee them up “I’ll pass this to Roger for his intro, he’s the best SE on the planet” or something fun

Top SDRs oftentimes don't sound like traditional salespeople when cold calling. They use a very casual voice tone.

Here are a few tips:

1. Avoid upward inflections at the end of sentences. This makes it sound like everything you ask is a question
2. Slow down and eliminate buzzwords. Speaking fast makes you sound nervous and less confident
3. Avoid reading from a script - internalize your message and put it into your own works so you sound like YOU!

Thoughts? What are your top tips?
