The Max Revenue Show

The 3 Foundations of Cold Calling


Listen Later

In this episode of The Max Revenue Show, Trey and Micah break down the real reason most Producers struggle with cold calling—and what to do instead.


They share the 3 key pillars that drive real results on the phone:


1. Mindset – Why fear never goes away (and how to work with it anyway)


2. Tonality – How to match your prospect’s energy to keep the call alive


3. Scripting – Why what you say matters less than how you say it—and how to create curiosity without sounding like a robot


Along the way, they trade stories from the field, unpack common cold call mistakes, and explain how to build consistency without burning out.


Whether you’re brand new to cold calling or looking to sharpen your approach, this episode will reframe how you think about the dial.
