Speak with other successful salespeople at your company or in your industry to see what makes them successful. Ask them what kind of questions they ask when interacting with their sales prospects. Use this information when putting together your sales scripts.
After every sales call that you make write down the sales objections that you hear and try to come up with possible responses. After a week or so you will have a laundry list of responses to each objection that you hear!
You can also apply the above technique to questions that you ask that result in positive responses from your prospect.
Try focusing your telemarketing calls on a single industry. Why do this? This is a great way to really understand your prospect's industry so that you can bring information that you have learned on one call and apply it to the next. Buyers like to speak with salespeople who really know their stuff and this is a very strategic way to get in the mind of your prospect.

How much do you really know about your product and/or service? Could you answer any question asked by your sales prospect about what you sell? Much of your cold call success is dependent on how well you know what your selling. This means you should anticipate any question that your prospect may ask before you even get on the telephone. The more you know the more you will sell!
