Cold Calling Masterclass: Ex-Salesforce AE Christian Krause Reveals What Actually Books Meetings

Описание: Cold calling isn’t dead — lazy cold calling is.

In this CloudTalk Labs fireside chat, Christian Krause breaks down his complete cold calling system to help you book 20–30 meetings/month: what to do before you dial, what to say during the call, and how to follow up so opportunities don’t slip through the cracks.

You’ll also see a quick CloudTalk walkthrough covering campaign setup, local caller IDs, parallel dialing, CRM logging, and a demo of AI Voice Agents for callback handling.

Watch if you want: better pickup rates, stronger openers, smoother objection handling, and a follow-up process that actually converts.
