!st time cold calling in Kannapolis, NC
So today I decided to cold call about 19 or so leads I got while driving for dollars and out of them I got 1 lady politely said dont call me back, 1 lady told me she was going to move into the vacant abandoned property another lady said the house was listed on the market for 240k and it was vacant with broken windows as well, I also had alot of bad numbers and I left about 13 voicemails. and a few of the properties had no telephone numbers associate with them. all in all I think It was a decent day.
can anyone share any experiences with cold calling maybe even a script I think my script or my voice sounds very practiced like I've done this before which I have in college (marketing degree) for a sales class and after a while you can tell it's scripted. I also use reipro. which has a script but it lacks flavor
Can anyone share any ways to help shift the conversation from "I've seen your property you should just let it go." to "how may I help you? and solve your problems?" without getting sidetracked cause I have a second list of 80 vacant properties in the same city so I want to get better.

"I'm calling because I am just curious what your plans are for the property?"
This line works for me a lot. If you need buyers or help with properties I'd love to connect. I am local to concord/Kannapolis.
