Back in the day before computers all we had was the telephone. That is how we received business. Cold calling.
Now days we have to check the do not call list before we even dial a number it carries a hefty fine I've heard $11,000.
Cold calling is a fantastic tool if used correctly. Not only using the local directory but you also can target a specific area by use of the computer. (Your neighborhood for example) Imagine how helpful it would be if your cold callers knew you were right around the corner to help.
You can even call local business owners to offer them a website to sell their wares.
Not only get a PSA get a ECA as well!
Keep it simple, enthusiastic, people seem so busy now days and smile (they can hear you smile in the phone).
I used to love leaving massages at first. It gave me a chance to practice.
Give it a shot, I know you will be pleasantly surprised.
