- buscoquadnary 4y agoDo they? A the big money is B2B and cold calling seems super ineffective because I get 10-20 people a week pitching me stuff none of them realizing I am a low level IC that has 2 levels between me and anyone that can approve anything, and those people sure as hell ain't listening to me, otherwise we wouldn't have migrated our HR system to Oracle cloud (and had all our vacation time suddenly disappear). The only time a cold caller ever got anywhere was when I worked with him in a previous capacity and he reached out to me as the salesperson for a product we were already evaluating and considering, and at that point he really just came in to do a demo.
- dsr_ 4y agoHow do you addict a rat to pushing a button? Random rewards. How do you addict a salescritter to spamming and cold-calling?
- ThePadawan 4y agoTo move the expected value of cold calls closer to negative, isn't every person who is annoyed by a cold call morally obligated to give the caller the maximum amount of abuse?
