In my opinion, I would say the method of recruiting by cold calling is probably the least effective of all those available to you.
Personally, I have never engaged in a conversation, or bought anything from, a cold caller. In fact, I am registered with a service which makes cold-calling me illegal, so you have to be careful if you call anyone in countries which have that kind of service.
If you cold-call people at random from a telephone directory, the chances of finding someone who is remotely interested in this type of work, must be extremely rare, they may not even have a computer. You know nothing about them, and they know nothing about you, and people will be reluctant to discuss their personal circumstances with a complete stranger, so it will be a struggle to recruit by this method.
For PSA signups, online marketing to a targeted demographic may be better.
The exception to this may be if you call companies who have a product or service to sell. You may be able to promote the ECA facility at TripleClicks. However, it would be wise to do your research first, look at what they offer, then be able to tell them how becoming an ECA can help their business and increase their sales. Make sure to speak to the owner/manager of the company, your research should give you their name. Be prepared for any questions they may have, the first 2 minutes of your conversation will be the most important in their decision-making process. Don't give them your gateway link over the phone, there is a high chance they could make an error in input, and will not sign up under you, so your hard work will all be for nothing. Grab their interest, then get their email address to send your link to. Whether they sign up immediately or not, follow up a couple of days later, either to welcome and congratulate them on their signup, or to enquire as to why they haven't registered yet, as they may have forgotten.
I hope this helps you.
