Before cold calling...try to find a way to make the person giving you the job somewhat familiar with you. When you call, if your name rings a bell, they will feel more at ease.

When you do call, think in the employer's terms. What are their needs? If your main approach is, "I need a job." they have no motivation to hire you. But if you can show them what attributes and qualities you will bring to their company, they will want you!

Third, before you call, take a second to relax and visualize the entire call in your mind. Think about talking calmly and smoothly with the person on the other end of the line and visualize in your mind them being happy that you called because you fit their needs.

Hope this helps :)
