Join a thriving community of over 90,000 members and access a vast library of over 1,000,000 posts from entrepreneurs around the globe.

Considering that I am calling smaller, single location businesses, it will be much easier to get a manager or owner on the phone. What do yall think will be a good opening line to get them to start talking to me without the immediate resistance that forms when you are called by someone wanting to sell you something?
