"Uber Driver" approach to rapport

A sales technique for cold calls: open with
Chapters
I began adopting the Uber driver approach in first calls, I long have not seen the value in Rapport for a very short first call. Earning a second call, it doesn't depend on you hitting it off and every minute counts. But I'll admit there are definitely some prospects that like to open up. They do want to talk about their day or maybe even vent. So here's what I now lead with. How's your week going? In scenario number one, they might answer, great, how about yours? I'll then answer great as well. Look, I know your time is valuable and we reached out to you, so I'll cut right to it. In scenario two, if they give me an answer like, ah, it's been better, my son is sick from school and we have huge weekend plans doing X, Y and Z. In that case, I'll continue on and I'll ask them a couple of questions. So if they give me a lengthy response, take this as permission to spend two or three minutes and if they give you a short response, take that signal. Cut right to it. What are your thoughts on the Uber driver approach to Rapport? I'd love to hear in the comments below.
