What I sell: {{offer}}
Who I call: {{persona}}
The honest reason I'm calling: {{reason}}
Write a cold call opener that:
1. States my name and company plainly.
2. Disarms with a candid acknowledgement that this is a cold call.
3. Asks for 30 seconds in a way that gives the prospect real control.
4. Delivers a one-sentence reason for the call tied to {{persona}}'s likely priorities.
Then provide 3 branches: if they say "go ahead", if they say "I'm busy", and if they say "what's this about". Keep each branch to 2 lines max. Conversational spoken English, no jargon.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
