Welcome to the Stranger to Meeting Course

Book Better Meetings with B2B Prospecting Training

Want to book more meetings with your ideal customers, even if they have no idea who you are or what you do? Our business development training teaches the prospecting skills and mindset that turn cold outreach into genuine sales conversations.

What Makes This Course Special?

Outbound isn’t difficult because you lack skill or strategy. It’s difficult because fear, pressure, and self-doubt stop even great salespeople from prospecting consistently and building a healthy pipeline. That’s why our business development training focuses on building confidence alongside practical outbound techniques.

As automation and AI reshape modern sales, many teams have leaned too hard on efficiency at the expense of connection. The result? Outreach that feels generic, conversations that lack depth, and buyers who disengage.

About Your Trainer

I’m Michael Hanson, your instructor and the CEO of Cosmic Growth.

We’re a sales training and enablement company that’s trained over 10,000 salespeople – from 21-year-old BDRs generating meetings for tech companies all the way up to 60-year-old real estate professionals closing 8-figure deals.

I’ve listened to thousands of cold calls, read thousands of emails, and checked out thousands of LinkedIn profiles. During this course, I’ll talk about what I’ve learned along the way. As well as a CEO, I’m a glorified salesperson and still sell our services on a daily basis – so I also see what is and isn’t working through my own deals.

During this course, you’ll hear my stories and the mistakes I’ve made along the way. Ten years ago, my calls, emails, and pitches were awful. I know what bad sales looks like from my own experience, and I’m sharing all of that here so you don’t make the same mistakes I did.
