I think Caller ID has kinda killed Cold Calling as a job… I’m happy to hear otherwise.

If I don’t recognize the number I ignore it. If I see the number pop up again and there is no voicemail I’ll block the number.

Doorknocking though does work much better.

The cold calling demoralizes you after your 80th call of either no answers or hang ups.

Just my $.02

See my answer about common big deals that are open during short periods of times like job seeking and house selling.

The ritual is to make one's contact details very public, so during that period prospects are open to the market, so they will be responsive to calls and even excited about them!
