Your lines
Pick an approach and fill in the details. You'll get your opener plus a response to each of the three things gatekeepers say.
Frequently asked questions
How do you get past a gatekeeper on a cold call?
Treat them as a person who can help rather than an obstacle to beat. Asking for help getting to the right owner converts far better than pretending you already have a relationship.
What do you say when a gatekeeper asks what it is regarding?
Answer honestly and briefly, then explain why a short conversation is better than a message. Vague or evasive answers are exactly what gatekeepers are trained to block.
Should you lie to a gatekeeper?
No. Experienced gatekeepers spot it immediately, and being caught means that company is closed to you permanently. Honesty also works better — it is disarming.
What if the gatekeeper says to send an email?
Agree to send it, then ask one qualifying question so the email is actually worth reading. Even if you do not get transferred, you leave with information and a reason to call back.
