You are currently searching for a new job and have decided to make cold calls to a few local businesses. Create a script that you could use that would introduce yourself, summarize your background, and explain why you are calling

I recently graduated from the University of Boston with a Honors degree in Business, after which I've had 2 year's experience working with the Local Council's department of commerce.

I have researched your Firm "Lloyds Inc." and it seems an ideal place I can bring to life my skills as a Financial Analyst.

Considering the consistent influence your Business has had in the investing world I am confident building my career at Lloyds Inc would be the best choice I'm making.

Would you mind me stopping by your office before Lunch break to put in my resume and application, and then you may talk me through the openings available and the culture at Lloyds Inc or you'd rather I send my resume and application through email and we can discuss via mail.

Thank You Grace for your time.

Explanation:

Prior to making the call it would be good to have researched the company for contacts you can reach, and the line of Business they are into. Whilst also recognizing how your expertise would fit into theirs.

Once satisfied there is an alignment in your experience and the way they operate, we can go ahead and make the call.

Cold calls should be turned to warm calls by engaging positively the person at the other end without being intrusive.

You need a note pad and Pen to highlight what you what you wish to say in brief details, and the notepad would help you also document what is being said to you. Maybe a name, a phone number, an email address or other details that you may receive in the course of the call.

For sample sake, the caller is Yate and the contact in the organization is Grace.

We are making this call at 10am in the morning when the early meetings must have been concluded and everyone seems to be having a calm day going already.

Good Morning Grace.

This is Yate.
