Cold Calls or Just Calling Prospects in General….

April 28, 2008

When it comes to this subject, I have a VERY stern opinion about it. Personally, I don’t promote this form of advertising or marketing AT ALL!! Unless a prospect signs up to one of your lists or newsletters SPECIFICALLY ASKING for you to call them so that they can learn more about your business or opportunity, I suggest leaving this to the well known telemarketers that we all hate receiving calls from! I think cold calling in general is the quickest way to LOSE a prospect that COULD have been a future prospect, and any successful business guru with even HALF a brain will tell you the same exact thing. Receiving a call at 1:00 in the afternoon from some random person saying, “hey, join my business and make lots of money!!” is just as unpleasant as receiving a call from a telemarketing company saying, “hey, buy our ink cartridges!!”… NOT interested thank you very much & don’t EVER call me again!!

I’m sure everyone will agree with me that besides our sex lives, our phone numbers are just NOT something that just ANYONE has the right to have access too!! Did I already mention the hated telemarketers? I think so…

In regards to telemarketers, the link below is VERY HELPFUL in regards to putting an end to all those unwanted calls and filtering calls you DO want… from getting listed in the “Do No Call” Registry, to do not call request letter samples & more!!
