I get approached all the time by people trying to sell me leads.  I bet you do too.  It seems that in recent years there has been a proliferation of random companies sprouting up all over town promising qualified leads in incredible volumes; some even claim that they can deliver thousands of leads each month. 

Many people have the misperception that cold calling doesn’t work.  I can understand this because I am often very stand-offish when I am called by people out of the blue.  But to go as far as to say that cold calling is a waste of time is just not true—cold calling can actually help you generate more leads faster than any other outbound marketing tactic, (if it’s done right).
