2 Cold Call Opener used by Sellers in DACH
As promised, this week we’re featuring another top performer in DACH:
We've had the pleasure of meeting Danny Wörns 👏 ex-HiBob and now AE at Unfck Sales!
He recently shared two powerful cold call openers, and when to use them.
1. Permission-Based
"Hi [Name], this is a cold call. Do you want to hang up, or hear why I'm calling?"
This works well because it removes the pressure and sets a transparent tone from the start. In the DACH market, where honesty is often rewarded, this directness can be a strength.
But it’s also high-risk: you might get a quick “No.”
If you want to handle that with confidence, check out our Objection Handling Masterclass inside the Academy.
2. Non-Permission-Based
"Hi [Name], this is Danny from Unfck Sales. I’m calling you because..."
This approach avoids asking for permission. But there’s one key rule:
Do not say, “I’m calling because I am doing...”
Instead, lead with “I’m calling because you are...”
Shift the focus to your prospect. Make it relevant.
Relevance and clarity in the first 10 seconds make or break your call.
Our favourite reminder 💛 : There’s no silver bullet.
Try both approaches.
See what works best for your tone, your market, and your timing.
