ISV-OEM lead generation is not rocket science.  But it’s not a piece of cake either.  And I can tell you from experience that many marketing agencies fall into predictable traps because they can’t really get their heads around OEM.

Let’s face it: telemarketing or cold calling is the black sheep of marketing tactics.  It’s gotten a bad rap because of outsourced BPOs scattered around India and Asia bombarding people at home at inopportune times (like right in the middle of dinner) calling about worthless products or services that no one wants or needs.
