Cold Call Script — Project Management Software
Target: Engineering Managers at 50-500 person companies
[Opening — 15 seconds]
"Hi [Name], this is [Your name] from [Company]. I know I'm calling out of the blue, so I'll be quick. I noticed your team just shipped [recent product/feature], congrats on that. Quick question — are you happy with how your team tracks work across sprints right now, or is that a pain point?"
[If interested — Discovery]
"Got it. A lot of engineering managers I talk to mention two things: sprint planning takes too long, and visibility across teams is a mess. Which one resonates more with you?"
Listen and probe:
- "How are you handling that today?"
- "What does that cost you in terms of time per week?"
- "If you could fix one thing about your current setup, what would it be?"
[Pitch — 20 seconds]
"Makes sense. We help engineering teams like [similar company] cut sprint planning time in half and get real-time visibility across all teams without adding process overhead. [Similar company] went from 2-hour planning sessions to 45 minutes."
[Close]
"Would it make sense to do a 20-minute walkthrough this week so you can see if it fits? I have [Day] at [Time] or [Day] at [Time]."
Objection Handling
| Objection |
Response |
| "We already use Jira" |
"Most of our customers came from Jira actually. The main difference is [specific differentiator]. Worth seeing the comparison?" |
| "Not a good time" |
"Totally understand. When would be a better week to reconnect? I'll send a calendar invite." |
| "Send me an email" |
"Happy to. What specifically would be most useful for me to include so it doesn't just sit in your inbox?" |
| "We're not looking" |
"Fair enough. Out of curiosity, when does your current contract renew? I can reach back out closer to that date." |
| "What does it cost?" |
"Depends on team size. Typically $X-$Y per seat. But pricing only matters if it solves a real problem — does what I described sound relevant?" |
User: What about voicemail? They didn't pick up.
