Good Questions when Cold Calling?

What questions would you all want to hear during a cold call? How could I ask for help framing interview questions like “why IB” for example? Building a list out right now and need some good ones!

Seen a ton of threads complaining about shitty cold calls, so I thought I’d ask for advice instead of being a shitty cold caller.
