Never Cold Call
Interestingly, there is a Sales & Cold Calling Blog, which unlike the name may sound, is dedicated to eliminating the practice of cold calling.
I have never done that myself, but there have been times it’s been suggested. The thought makes me physically sick and I don’t think there is any way I could possibly ever do it, to the point where I would probably quit a job if it were made a requirement. Speaking of tipping points.
I may be getting a job out of a cold call, well, email. That’s the way things get done in science, sometimes, although it’s far less distasteful than a cold sales call....
