Logistics
You will schedule a time with the CSS team to make your cold call. The cold call will be done by logging into a Zoom link with the camera off to simulate not being able to see your buyer.
You will be in the Zoom waiting room and when your buyer is ready, your buyer will admit you into the Zoom room and will greet you by saying “hello” as if your buyer just answered your cold call. The role-play begins immediately.
After the call ends, you may stay on the Zoom link to receive live feedback from the mock buyer.
The session will be recorded in order for the judges to review the cold call the following day.
