I get a lot of cold calls at work and have to do some myself (Recruiting and HR related).

I can tell you this, I hate with an absolute passion, the hard sellers or the guys who try to pressure you. To the point where I will avoid ever using a service provided by them or call their co-worker to get the same service.

I have the utmost respect for a Salesperson telling them that I shouldn't buy their product right now because it isn't what I need.

I would recommend when doing cold calls - see about getting an email, and send a non-invasive update or listing around quarterly, something that doesn't need a response back, but something that keeps you in the front of their mind if they ever need your services.
