However, I always make sure I'm going in with a solution they can use, and tailor my call to THEIR specific business / needs. ie: I do a little research on the companies before I make the call.
I'm dead serious. I've found success with being a little pushy, over-confident and cocky. That being said, I've always had MORE success in cold calling IN PERSON, than over the phone. You need to really believe in your product / service and company.
...it also helps that I bring free stuff to show and give away!
