2.6 Cold Calling

2.6 Cold Calling.

"Cold call" visits imply no appointment, no research, no prior contact, and no knowledge of prospect. DON'T DO IT! Sales calls are expensive. Besides, an uninformed approach can "blow it" for the future.

However, using the telephone for "cold" calls can be very useful, provided that the purpose of the call is to obtain information, rather than to sell. Don't mix "information gathering" and "selling". The Prospect will seldom give you good information if he feels that you are about to try and sell him something. Store the information you get, process it, then use it later.
