What were they cold calling for? I have done many sales jobs and got use to cold calling. I know people cold call for wholesaling houses and land.. anyone see people cold call for their own business? What was it?

Yes. My grandfather, the most successful insurance salesman in his company of all time. He started out in the Great Depression, cold calling 10 people a day (I hear now that insurance salesmen starting out have to cold call many more people today). By the time I came around, his business was mature and all his new customers came through referrals. He was constantly updating his clients’ policies and made money from new sales to existing customers mostly.

Great success, it seems, though this was literally 100 years ago.... different ballgame, to say the least.
