In this episode, we speak with Jake Dunlap, CEO of Skaled about the critical skill of Getting the Appointment.

Jake provides some expert advice on how to bypass the gatekeeper, engage an EA to schedule time in a prospects calendar, and what to do once the prospect is on the phone.

We also discuss the role of scripts and structuring a tailored VBR for each call, the importance of verbal tone and pace; and ultimately why mastering the cold call requires you to suck first.
