These are two 100% genuine interactions I have had in the last 24 hours!
The Phone call.
Me: βGood morning, Jump IT Recruitment Solutions Limited, how can I help you?β
Caller: βHi, can I speak to X?β
Me: βWho is speaking, please?β
Caller: βIt’s Yβ (first name only)
βHi Y, can I ask what it is about?β
Caller: βItβs Y from Company Z about financing your businessβ
Me: βWell, Y, X left Jump IT Recruitment Solutions Limited over 10 years ago.β
Caller: Excuses made, our records arenβt up to date. Who took over…
Credibility gone.
The LinkedIn email pitch to me:
βWe specialise in helping dentists like you growβ
Credibility gone.
Conclusion: Is there ever any excuse for not doing some prep before you pitch, make a call?
