QUICK ANSWER

What is Cold Calling Scripts & Value Propositions?

Most cold call scripts fail because they sound like scripts. This course teaches you to build talk tracks that sound human, communicate value immediately, and consistently get you to the appointment. It's the difference between a rep who stumbles through a pitch and one who owns the conversation.

You'll build a complete value proposition, three cold calling talk track examples, an elevator pitch, and a framework for handling the initial 'we already have a vendor' objection. Sales skill set #4 of the Modern Sales Performer collection.

WHO IT'S FOR

Is this the right course for you?

✓ This is for you
You freeze up or ramble on cold calls because you don't have a clear talk track

You've been selling for years but your value prop has never been formalized
You want your messaging to be consistent across every cold call

You already have a polished, tested talk track that's booking meetings reliably
You don't do outbound prospecting
You're looking for objection-handling frameworks — go to Module 12 for that

FAQ

Questions before you enroll.

What's included in the cold calling script templates?

You'll build a complete value proposition, multiple cold calling talk tracks (with three worked examples using real industries), and an elevator pitch. You also get a framework for handling the 'we already have a vendor' opener before your pitch even starts.

Can I buy this module individually?

No. This module is available exclusively as part of the Modern Sales Performer collection — 14 modules, 18+ hours of content. Learn more about the full collection →

Is this a fill-in-the-blank template or do I build my own?

Both. Derek teaches the formula, then walks through three complete examples, then you build your own using the workbook (covered in Module 05). The goal is a script that sounds like you — not a generic template.

How is this different from Module 05 (Talk Track Workbook)?

Module 04 teaches the framework and examples. Module 05 is the companion workbook where you actually build your scripts. Both are included in the collection.

Can my company reimburse me?

Many companies cover sales training as a professional development expense. Treas. Reg. §1.162-5 also lets individuals deduct training that maintains or improves professional skills. Ask your accountant.
