Cin, friendly, expertly abbreviating targetâs name: âHey there, is John around?â
Gatekeeper: âWho is this?â
Cin: âOh, hi, tell him itâs Cin.â
Gatekeeper: âCin who?â
Cin: âCin Fabré.â
Gatekeeper, suspicious: âWhat, exactly, is this about?â
Cin, firmer: âMaâam, itâs a personal business call.â
Gatekeeper: âDoes he know you?â
Cin, brightly: âWell, if you tell him itâs Cin from VTR, that should ring a bell, thank you!â
Gatekeeper: âWell, Iâm his wife and Iâm not familiar with VTR.â
Cin, closing in: âOh, thatâs okay. John is familiar, and Iâm returning his call.â
Gatekeeper, defenses down: âHmm, okay, hold on.â
[Passes the phone to John]
John: âHello?â
Cin: âHi, John, itâs Cin. Iâm getting back to you from VTR Capital.â
John: âVTR Capital ⦠(pause) ⦠Who?â
Cin, authoritatively: âWe are a boutique investment firm on Wall Street, specializing in IPOs, private placements, secondary offerings, and occasional penny stocks.â
John: âIâve never heard of VTR.â¦â
Cin: âLook, John, I get it. You are used to the same type of brokers calling you with the same stock picks with the same average returns. What we do is bring you unique investment ideas that your current broker does not have access to, such as IPOs and private placements. John, when was the last time your broker got you involved in an IPO?â
John, conceding: âWell, never.â
Cin: âExactly! Thatâs the reason I am calling, John, to give you an opportunity for when we do have something that makes sense, which youâll never get from your current advisers, and to make sure we are free to give you a call. Are you still at 1234 ABC Street?â
John: âYes, I am.â
Cin: âGreat, this is what I will do. I will tailor a package just for you, send it out, and get back to you in the next couple of weeks once you have had a chance to review it. And if you donât like what you read, just let me know and we will part as friends. Is that fair?â
John: âYeah, thatâs fair.â
Cin: âJohn, I really donât want to waste your time, and I want to bring you something that tickles your belly, so can you tell me about a few stocks youâre currently holding onto?â
John, retreating: âUh, Iâm not sure Iâm comfortable giving you that information.â
Cin, persuasive: âJohn, I understand. Again, all I want is to make sure that the only shot I have to impress you with is something that makes sense for you. Just name a few. Are you a blue-chip, conservative, options?â
John: âI have some Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, IBM.â
Cin: âOkay. Are you open to diversifying a bit?â
John: âYeah, it just depends on what it is.â
Cin, praising: âIâm glad to hear weâre speaking the same love language, John. Is it fair to say that you have at least a couple mil in the market?â
John, flattered: âOh, not that much.â
Cin: âWould you say about a mil?â
John, abashed: âHmm, Iâm not sure.â
Cin, cajoling: âYou and I both know you are aware to the nickel of what you have in the market, John. Just give me a ballpark. Three-quarters of a mil?â
John, appeased: âYeah, thatâs fair.â
Cin: âOkay,
