"Question regarding cold calling"


          

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.

Call me, I'll tell you to email me.

If you email me without calling first, I'll report as spam if it's spammy.
