    Cold calling masterclass. I want to learn how to improve my cold calling ability by making the call despite being unprepared, active listening, being curious, peaking interest and leading prospects toward a clear next step, even when I’m not an expert in the product or their world. Use inventory and order management (OMS) as the example product and retailers as the prospects.
