Cold calling may still produce some results but probably not enough to justify the time spent doing it

Cold calling is not dead, it just has been transformed. Technology is different, techniques are different, buyers are different. I always remind everyone to think of a 'cold call' as not being called 'cold' because the call is to an unknown prospect or that the list is cold or the lead is not hot. The origin of the term is because you are catching the prospect 'cold'. You control the conversation at that point.

 

How you prep for the call, how you get them to pick up the phone, how you handle the conversation and then the relationship moving forward that's what separates good salesman to ordinary salesman.

Cold calling is alive or dead depending upon the nature of business. In some cases it's the most effective approach to keep customers in reach.
