Where trust begins
Habits and expectations differ per country. Most of the time you only get one moment to get it right. That moment has to fit: the right words, the right timing, the right tone. When that comes together, the door stays open, trust starts to grow and your contact feels genuinely heard.
That is the key: not just talking, but connecting. Not hoping someone listens, but making sure your story actually lands. Then a first call is no longer a one-off attempt, but the start of a valuable relationship.
