I don't do many cold calls, but sometimes I reach out to people on email based on their online reputation, blog posts or similar if I feel I can help them or they can help me. A lot of these people are busy but many actually give a reply, at least if you're being short and to the point about your message.
Ironically enough, the guys who sign their blog posts with "what do you think", "drop me a line", "I'm always available on email" etc, are usually the guys who never reply :-)

- larrys 13y agoI have a way to describe this. I call it "they need everybody yet they need nobody". They have decided that they would rather have contact from as many people as possible and be the filter that decides if what someone is offering (or wanting) is desirable to them or not. The other side of this is (back in the day) people who would do a version of "serious inquiries only" which would surely scare off all but the hardiest people.
