my cold calling technique as I'm starting to do some telephone cold calls. I'm perfectly comfortable knocking on doors and cold calling face to face, but I've decided that telephone cold calls might just be a bit more cost effective.
Any tips or advice?

First question: do you like to save money?

A short call asking if you can email them your 'offer', then call again a few days after the email has been sent to follow it up to ask if it was of interest and if you can continue to [s]spam[/s] email them with other offers.

Is a closed question really a good idea?

Ask them what they're wearing then instead?

You're a bit knackered when they say "no", no?
TSY, I usually keep the attire questions for off duty, everyone needs a hobby.

Call me for advice, wasting cold caller's time has become a hobby for me.
