Cold Calling your way to success???????????????

Sure we are all members of Biznik to network and build connections through attending events and discussions in Biz Talk, but is that the only way to make connections?

Most people have an aversion to cold calling like it is the plague. It isn't. I have done it all from Telemarketing to actual Door to Door. Currently I am B2B and use a Door to Door technique to find decision makers and then follow-up with a phone call to set an appointment. I would love to grow my business through networking alone. I need growth via every avenue that I can get.

I have been thinking of starting a cold calling training seminar. I know it is not everyone favorite subject but it is an effective tool that is under used in the indie business community.

What do you think? Would you attend?

In many professions, there's no way we can avoid cold calling. I would attend.

I do both cold calling and luke warm calling and I'm always open for more education. I'll go.

Sweet, It sounds like there is some interest. I will polish up the syllabus and schedule an event.
