Take the call

A real voice call. Four minutes. Free — we don't even ask for a card.

How do you control a call with a prospect who talks too much?

Interrupt warmly and specifically — quote their own words back and steer to the thing that mattered. Talkative prospects usually drop their real problems in passing; the skill is catching the admission and returning to it.

Who is the Prospect Who Won't Stop Talking?

A fictional AI boss who answers every question with a story. She trains airtime control, precise listening, and the courage to interrupt politely — three real problems are buried in her monologues.
