This topic steams from the LinkenIn thread regarding digging up leads for cold calls. Everyone hates being cold called and no one likes doing it but it’s still a fairly effective technique to generate leads/sales even in the age of modern technology. So I’m wondering CP:
Have you ever been cold called?
Do you have to cold call as part of your job?
What are other good ways to generate sales leads other then cold calling?
Prospecting is a big part of our business (hence my thread
here) and cold calling is strongly encouraged. I do it, and do my best to be respectful and as nonintrusive as I can but at the end of the it’s annoying for the people on the other end.
Also sales prospecting tips/advice in general.
