The 10 best cold calling content creators in France

Following the best cold calling content creators in France is the cheapest way to learn a skill that most salespeople pick up on the job, alone, with a phone and a list. The phone has not gone away: French mobile users spent 48.9 billion minutes on calls in the second quarter of 2026, according to the market observatory published by Arcep, the French telecoms regulator, on 8 October 2026. This ranking brings together ten French-speaking creators who publish about cold calling and B2B phone prospecting, checked one by one, and says for each which reader and which level they suit.

What changed for cold calling in France in 2026?

The rules moved this year, and that is one more reason to follow people who comment on the field every week. Since 11 August 2026, calling a consumer who has not given prior consent is banned, the Bloctel opposition list has been abolished, and consent is valid for one year at most, according to Blog du Modérateur, in an article by Matthieu Eugène published on 31 July 2026. The same article states that prospecting between professionals is not covered by the new regime, and that fines reach 75000€ per illegal call for individuals and 375000€ for companies. In other words, B2B cold calling, the topic of almost every creator on this list, remains legal, but the line between a business call and a consumer call now matters more than ever.

Learning outside formal courses is also the norm. In 2022, 47% of adults in France who had finished their initial education, about 18 million people, said they had followed at least one training course in the previous twelve months, and nearly a third of non-formal professional training was delivered remotely or in a mixed format, according to Insee Première n°1994, published by Insee and Dares in April 2024. Creators sit right next to that kind of training: free, regular, and available between two calls.

Why follow creators rather than only reading sales tools' blogs?

Four reasons, from the point of view of someone who wants to learn cold calling and keep improving.

• They show real calls. Enzo Colucci breaks down real calls live, without editing, and Pauline Perez builds her method on calling real prospects and listening back. A software blog rarely shows a call that went wrong.
• They work from their own figures. Flavien Reviriego writes about what 30000 calls confirmed, and Quentin Despas publishes a benchmark of B2B phone prospecting in France. Numbers from the field beat generic advice.
• They speak to a level and a situation. Camille Mérigon talks to independents who dread the phone, Victor Cabrera to salespeople who need a first script, Flavien Reviriego to people who run a team of callers.
• Their interest is easy to read. Most of them sell coaching, training or agency work, and say so. Knowing what a creator sells helps you read their advice with the right distance.

Several creators on this list, such as Enzo Colucci, Pauline Perez and Flavien Villeneuve, also sell coaching, training or a cold calling service. If what you need is someone to make the calls or train your team rather than content to learn from, our ranking of phoning consultants covers that case.

How did I rank these creators?

Four criteria, fixed before looking at who would come out on top, and applied only to what each creator publishes on their own pages and accounts. Every account on this list was reviewed on 22 October 2026.

1. Regularity. Dated content in 2026, and a rhythm you can count on: a weekly newsletter counts for more than a burst of posts followed by months of silence.

2. Depth and accuracy. Real calls, figures and examples count for more than motivational slogans. A creator who shows how a call actually went comes before one who only says what to do.

3. Teaching. Content that a reader at a given level can apply on their next call, with a clear audience: beginners, SDRs, independents, sales managers.

4. Focus on the phone. Creators who make cold calling their main topic come before those for whom it is one sales topic among many. Selling a service is fine; a feed that only promotes an offer is not.

What I deliberately did not do: I did not estimate any audience. When a creator does not publish a follower or subscriber count, the table says « Not published ». I did not keep any creator without public activity in 2026 in the top 10, and I did not count an inactive podcast as a reason to rank someone. I did not include brand accounts of software publishers, whether cold calling tools or SEO tools that compete with Sorank. And I did not count likes or views, which say little about what you will learn.

This ranking reflects my own experience and opinion as someone who follows these creators every week, not a paid placement. I am Thibault Besson-Magdelain, founder of Sorank, and no creator on this page paid to appear in it.

The 10 best cold calling content creators in France

1. Enzo Colucci

Enzo Colucci is a B2B sales coach who publishes about cold calling first on LinkedIn, where he hosts the live show « Coach Moi Si Tu Peux »: he analyses real calls from salespeople, without editing. He also sends the weekly Substack newsletter « La vérité si je vends », with editions on 21 September, 28 September, 5 October, 12 October and 19 October 2026, several of them on cold calling, and runs a YouTube channel dedicated to the phone, KoldClub, next to his personal channel, Instagram and TikTok accounts. His cold calling guide on enzocolucci.com was updated in October 2026. What sets him apart is a concrete call structure: an opener, the reason for the call, an open question, then time slots. His published audience is 11.0k newsletter subscribers. He sells sales coaching.

Best for: SDRs and salespeople who already make calls and want to hear what works and what fails on real conversations. Readers who prefer a calm, written method will find the video formats very lively.

2. Pauline Perez

Pauline Perez publishes videos on cold calling on LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram, sends the newsletter « Boucan Hotline » two Fridays a month and hosts the podcast « Boucan Talk », all focused on B2B phone prospecting. Her Substack was active on 4 September, 18 September, 2 October and 16 October 2026, with editions such as « Quels chiffres regarder quand on fait du cold call ? ». She defends a field method: call real prospects, then listen back, and use a « Sales Book » rather than a script. She wrote a book on it, « Prospecter avec la méthode Boucan ». Her site displays more than 36000 followers on LinkedIn and more than 3000 newsletter subscribers. She is the founder of Boucan Factory and Boucan Academy, which sell phone prospecting training.

Best for: sales teams and founders who want a complete method for booking B2B meetings by phone, in several formats. Her LinkedIn posts are not dated in a readable way, so the newsletter is the most reliable way to follow her rhythm.

3. Quentin Despas

Quentin Despas publishes sales training videos on his YouTube channel Katana and writes the newsletter « The Good Sales », active on 18 October 2026, and he also has a podcast. His in-depth pieces on the phone are the reason he is on this list: « 10 leçons sur 1000000 de cold calls » in June 2026 and a « Benchmark 2026 : Prospection téléphonique B2B France » in September 2026. His published audience is 84.9k subscribers on YouTube, the largest video audience on B2B sales and the phone found for this ranking. His topic is wider than cold calling: B2B sales and negotiation take a large share. He sells sales training through Katana.

Best for: sales managers and SaaS salespeople who want data on phone prospecting and a broader B2B sales training. Readers looking only for cold calling will have to sort through the other topics.

4. Victor Cabrera

Victor Cabrera is the founder of Technique de Vente. He publishes several articles a week on technique-de-vente.com, which has a category dedicated to phone prospecting, as well as YouTube videos on B2B telemarketing and cold calling and a podcast. His recent series on the phone includes « Phoning commercial et télémarketing » (31 August 2026), « Argumentaire téléphonique : méthode en 9 étapes » (2 September 2026) and « Script téléphonique de prospection : 7 exemples » (15 September 2026). His YouTube channel has more than 550 videos, according to a press release. His audience is not published. He sells sales training and coaching.

Best for: salespeople who are starting out on the phone and want ready-to-use scripts and a list of mistakes to avoid when booking meetings. Experienced callers will find the content introductory.

5. Camille Mérigon

Camille Mérigon is a cold calling coach based in Anglet who publishes LinkedIn posts on opening techniques, mindset and objections, and completes them with the blog of her method, Kold Lanta, organised in categories such as Mindset, Objections, Tools and Sales script. Her angle is daring to pick up the phone, aimed at independents and very small businesses. According to Kawaak, she has 9.89k followers on LinkedIn and 12.86k views over the last 28 days. She was a coach at the Outbound Cup, a cold calling competition held at Station F, and previously worked at Velyo, Sellsy and Scalezia. She sells cold calling coaching days.

Best for: independents and owners of very small businesses who rely on word of mouth and want to start calling without dread. Sales teams looking for advanced SDR management will find the angle too basic, and her publishing rhythm is not published.

6. Flavien Villeneuve

Flavien Villeneuve hosts « Prospectons », a podcast on B2B prospecting published about every two weeks, with a large place for cold calling. Recent episodes went out on 17 September, 2 October and 15 October 2026, including « Ce cold caller à +60 RDV/mois vous partage tous ses secrets » on 2 October. The podcast also has a YouTube version, with 176 published subscribers. He is the founder of Akiro, a B2B cold calling agency, which gives his interviews concrete feedback from the field and also means he sells a calling service.

Best for: listeners who learn during their commute and want to hear practitioners explain their numbers and routines. The guests are often close to his agency's world, so compare their views with other sources.

7. Augustin Tonnel

Augustin Tonnel is a cold calling coach who calls himself « le mordu de coldcall » and publishes LinkedIn posts dedicated to cold calling. In early October 2026 he wrote that cold calling is not dead even in 2026, citing a pick-up rate of 15 to 20%. He hosted Coldcast, presented as the first podcast entirely dedicated to cold calling, with 21 episodes, but the last one found dates from April 2024: read it as an archive. He was a panelist at the Outbound Cup 2026 at Station F, says he has coached more than 600 salespeople, and is linked to Akiro, the agency of Flavien Villeneuve. His audience is not published. He sells coaching for cold callers.

Best for: SDRs who want field opinions on call openings and objections in their LinkedIn feed. His rhythm is not published, and the podcast is no longer the place to look for recent content.

8. Flavien Reviriego

Flavien Reviriego writes « Let's Growth », a weekly newsletter on B2B prospecting, with editions on 4 September, 11 September, 18 September, 25 September, 2 October and 9 October 2026. Cold calling comes back regularly and with data: « Cold Call : le bon moment pour appeler (ce que la data dit) » (29 May 2026), « Le cold call de masse va disparaître. Tant mieux. » (4 September 2026) and « 30000 appels plus tard, voilà ce que nos chiffres confirment » (2 October 2026), plus editions on SDR KPIs. His tone is direct and backed by figures. His audience is not published, and no LinkedIn profile was found during this review.

Best for: SDRs and managers who run a team of callers and want one data-driven read a week. Readers who prefer to watch calls rather than read about them will be better served by video creators on this list.

9. Jean-Pascal Mollet

Jean-Pascal Mollet is a sales coach who publishes YouTube videos and LinkedIn posts almost every day: 15 videos went out between 13 and 21 October 2026. Some of them deal with cold calling through the DISC method, such as « Comment Cold Caller un rouge #disc » on 20 October 2026. He was a coach at the Outbound Cup 2026 at Station F. His published audience is 145.0k on LinkedIn and 97.5k on YouTube, the largest sales audience on this list. The phone is only part of his topics, next to sales, DISC and negotiation. He sells sales training and coaching.

Best for: salespeople who want a daily dose of sales advice and are curious about adapting their calls to personality types. Readers who want only cold calling will find it a small share of the feed.

10. Alexandre Waquier

Alexandre Waquier is the creator of « Les Héros de la Vente », a podcast and a weekly newsletter on sales and prospecting. The newsletter reached issue 119 on 21 October 2026, and in June 2026 it covered « Comment prendre 120 rendez-vous par mois au téléphone ? ». He is also present on LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and Facebook. His published audience is 3.0k newsletter subscribers. His content covers sales in the broad sense, and the phone is only one part of it.

Best for: sales teams that want a weekly podcast and newsletter on selling in general, with regular episodes on booking meetings by phone. Readers looking for a cold calling specialist should start higher on this list.

How to get the most out of these creators

Three habits that make the difference between scrolling and learning.

• Pick two or three, not ten. One weekly newsletter for ideas and figures, one creator who shows real calls, one format you enjoy (video, podcast or posts). Following everyone means applying nothing.
• Test on your own calls. When a creator recommends an opener or a time slot, try it on one batch of calls, record the result, and compare before changing your whole script.
• Check the rules yourself. Since 11 August 2026, calling consumers requires prior consent. When a creator's advice comes from B2C, make sure it applies to your case before you dial.

Where does this ranking stop?

Three limits, stated clearly.

It is based on public information. I read what each creator publishes and checked their accounts on 22 October 2026. LinkedIn, where many cold calling creators publish, could not always be read in full, so some rhythms and audiences are marked « Not published ». A creator who publishes very well but quietly will be underrated here.

It reflects one reader's opinion. The criteria were fixed in advance, but the weight given to regularity, depth or focus on the phone is a personal choice. A sales manager would rank some creators differently, and that is healthy.

It ages. Creators change rhythm, stop a podcast or move to another platform, as the Coldcast archive shows. Check that the account is still active before you subscribe.

What can software do that a creator cannot?

A creator teaches you how to open a call, handle an objection and book a meeting. They do not know your website, and they will not bring you prospects who already searched for what you sell, on Google or in AI assistants, before your phone ever rings.

That is what Sorank automates: after an audit of your site, the software finds your keywords, writes and publishes articles optimised for Google and for AI assistants, and shows you when an AI assistant cites your brand. Pricing starts at 99€ per month, with 3 days offered and a card required at sign up. To see it on your own site, book a call. Many sales teams combine the two: cold calling for outbound, content for the prospects who come to you.

Conclusion

The best cold calling creator is the one who speaks to your level, in a format you will actually keep up with. To hear real calls broken down every week, Enzo Colucci. For a complete B2B phone method in several formats, Pauline Perez. For figures on phone prospecting, Quentin Despas and Flavien Reviriego. For ready-made scripts when you start, Victor Cabrera. For independents who dread the phone, Camille Mérigon. And if you also want to follow how buyers find companies on Google and in AI assistants, our weekly GEO and SEO newsletter covers that side.
