Session report

Feature-dump cold open lost the buyer immediately. Ilze handed Toms the real buying criterion (48-hour certificates) at the end — he deferred instead of confirming whether Northwind can meet it. Rebuild the open around site-access pain, ask before pitching.

Performance evaluation

How the call scored

4 rubrics · weighted

Overall 3.1 / 5

Opening

2.4 / 5

GapOpened on "best on the market" and a feature list — triggered skepticism on a cold site call.

Discovery

2.8 / 5

GapNever asked how certificates are handled today or what failed last week — talked over the buyer's constraint.

Active listening

2.5 / 5

GapWhen Ilze said certificates were the only priority, Toms still pushed platform speed and a deck.

Closing

3.2 / 5

GapResponded to a clear buying test with "I'll check with my team" — either confirm SLA or ask one clarifying question, don't stall.

1 note00:00:00

Hi, this is Toms from Northwind. We sell the best project liability packages on the market. Do you have time to hear about our features?

AvoidOpening

"Best on the market" + feature ask is a cold-call killer. Open on site-access pain instead.

Quoted: best project liability packages on the market

Try: "Ilze — Toms from Northwind. Quick question: are certificate delays blocking any of your subs this week?"

00:00:40

I'm on a site. What is this about, specifically?

1 note00:01:20

Well, we cover injuries, machinery, certificates for subcontractors, competitive pricing, fast turnaround, and bundled options — really everything a developer needs.

AvoidDiscovery

Feature dump after she asked "what specifically" — answer with one outcome (same-week certificates), then a question.

Quoted: really everything a developer needs

Try: "Specifically — same-week certificates so subs clear the gate. How long does your broker take to reissue today?"

00:02:00

I already have a broker. Certificates are the only thing that matters to me right now, and I'm busy.

00:02:40

Sure, but our platform is much faster than traditional brokers. Most clients switch within a month. Can I send you a deck?

00:03:20

No. Don't send a deck. Email me only if you can get a certificate to my superintendent in under forty-eight hours — otherwise please don't call again.

1 note00:04:00

Okay, I'll check with my team and get back to you. Thanks for your time.

MissedClosing

She gave you a buying test (48-hour certificates). Confirm or clarify — don't defer to "I'll check with my team."

Quoted: I'll check with my team and get back to you

Try: "If we can get a certificate to your superintendent in under 48 hours, can we schedule a coverage review tomorrow?"

00:04:40

Mhm. Bye.
