682, Question regarding cold calling
Posted by jwaits, Wed Sep-12-07 09:48 AM
I have a membership based service that I want to approach small business owners about. My wife owns a flower shop and I know how she gets tons of telemarketing calls on a daily basis and they are annoying along with sales people that walk in. I hate to bother these business owners with a telemarketing call or to just cold call with a visit.
How open would business owners be if I sent them a very short email introducing myself and that I would like to set a time that I can stop by and drop off information on our service. Maybe give them the 15 second commercial about what it is.

As a business person, would you be more open to a telemarketing call, cold call or an approach via email??

Give me your thoughts and feedback on cold calling.
