WHAT WORKED
Evidence“Sounds like getting experienced consultants productive quickly is the bigger challenge.”
You reframed the prospect's objection into a relevant business problem instead of immediately pitching.
COACHING OPPORTUNITY
Ask one more diagnostic question before proposing the follow-up meeting.
Try: “How are you currently coaching new consultants through those conversations?”
Train the conversations your consultants actually have.
From the first cold call to difficult candidate and client conversations, recruiters practise against realistic personas before the real moment matters.

Win attention, establish relevance and turn a cold conversation into a genuine next step.
