This would work especially well with Germany. But I think they'll ask you to prove it immediately, if you can you'll likely have a conversation.

This one seems interesting. I love the "about your team in Germany" definitely will make a prospect curious. Thanks

Love this approach, Mike! It's refreshing to see how a little research can make such a big difference in cold calling

Love how it blends permission with relevance. But you’re right Mike, delivery is everything. The best opener fails if it doesn’t sound like you

I say “Hey, it’s a sales call, 30 secs, ok?” and never heard No. I keep hearing “Go ahead”.

🤓 Fun Fact: "Checkout" is a noun, meaning the place where you pay for things. "Check out" is a verb that means to investigate.
