They break down why it shows up differently on a cold call than it does over email or LinkedIn, and why hearing it in the first minute means something different than hearing it in the fifth.\nThey run three real responses through their close, stall, kill format and review a sales trainer's take on pushing through the first no. The result is a clear way to read what a prospect actually means, and a plan for what to say next instead of hanging up.\n\nKey takeaways:\nPush for the meeting anyway. Even after a soft no, reps have booked meetings just by asking if the prospect wants to see more. It costs nothing to ask, and sometimes the answer is yes.\nBad meetings start before the call. If not interested shows up mid discovery call, the problem happened earlier. A missing agenda or a badly qualified lead is usually the real cause, not the pitch itself.\nTen minutes is the ceiling. A cold call that runs past ten minutes without a clear agenda is a sign you have lost control of the conversation, not a sign you are building rapport.\n\n\nJump to the conversation:\n(00:00) Introduction\n(00:49) What does “not interested” really mean?\n(01:52) How to decode what a prospect actually means\n(02:50) Why not interested over email or LinkedIn usually means refine your message\n(04:20) Reading the difference between minute one and minute five on a call\n(06:38) Why chasing the meeting can still work after a soft no\n(08:05) The real story behind most not interested objections\n(10:35) What it means if the objection shows up in a discovery call\n(13:34) Close, stall, kill: grading three real responses to not interested\n(17:19) Flag on the play: should you ever accept a first no\n(19:15) The playbook recap and what is coming next week","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/tM5Qkjm51_SJvRbHfRUCmh67kDjE0dctVwh6WHiHdM0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jYTZm/YjU4MmI2NDI5ODg5/OTQ4NmE1YTllMzVj/YmExYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
