ALOHA

So I decided to sell equal shares to a wearable company I started. I made a link on my main website for $17,500. Purchasing the link only gets someone on the portfolio but offers a chance at bonus money. I am also offering a referral share so if someone sells the link they will also get an equal share which is about 14% equity plus a chance at the bonus money. Which is a generous amount.

I have approached a few people like my sister and the UPS driver and no takers even though Shop Pay financing makes it so almost anyone could purchase. So I want to cold call and sell the link over the phone.

Where do I get contacts to call at? I looked at white pages but there is a maximum. I tried Apollo. I would prefer to call retired people just because the conversations are easier. TIA.

hi,
To be honest the best tool is Lusha.
If you want to run cold email campaign, I build a tool to get Clean Data & Verified Emails (95% accuracy) and some phone number from a LinkedIn Sales Navigator List URL here is the link : voilalead.com

Cold calling is a very challenging route to go down - especially if you're seeking such a significant investment. It might be better to look into other networking options. Have you looked into LinkedIn to find people who might be interested or have the means to invest in your company? In terms of cold calling, there are many regulations to consider as well, such as the National Do Not Call Registry. Overall, it sounds like you'd be better off exploring different forms of networking to find the right investor. Have you also considered angel investor networks or crowdfunding platforms, like Kickstarter or Indiegogo? They might be more suitable platforms for what you're trying to achieve.

Hello, you might want to use ScaleMail.ai because unlike competitors like Apollo or ZoomInfo you get cell numbers and don’t need to sign an annual agreement for half the price of these big companies.
