What's Your Most Successful Cold Call Strategy

I’m curious what techniques you all have found most effective when it comes to closing deals over the phone. I’ve had great success with using personalized stories to engage leads right from the start. It’s amazing how a little empathy can turn the tide in these conversations. What about you?
