Pattern Interrupt
Saying something unexpected to break a buyer's habit of brushing off sales calls. On a cold call, it might be an honest opener like 'This is a cold call, can I have 30 seconds?' The goal is to earn a moment of real attention.
Used in a sentence
Instead of a scripted greeting, the rep opened with a pattern interrupt, and the buyer laughed and kept listening.
