Hello, We are starting our promotional items agency business. I know that our quality and prices are very good. First of I want to offer our products to our friends, post on ebay, alibaba, etc. But what's next? Would you feel bad if someone cold call to you with really good offer for you? I'm thinking about that, but I want to builid health buisness without annoying anyone. Check us! aditems
Cold calls - Not a fan of it here... may have whinged about it once or twice on this forum... The issue is, my phone line, which we pay for, including our 0800 number, is really cool. We offer a 24/7 service - and if no one is in the office, the duty mobile rings... costing us more. When someone wants to sell us something, and we're paying for their pitch... it's not going to end well. My advice is freebies if your business can afford it, create a hard mail list, and get stuff out. If this is just out of budget for you (due to postal costs), which is well understandable (We couldn't / wouldn't do it) then a great option is to pound the streets, again with freebies - like pens. It's a good foot in the door. Go in with a pitch like: Then you can do your pitch. It just so happens, I'm in the market and ready to make a purchase of promotional items right now. Do you have a website? SEO and all that stuff? (Look it up on this forum if you haven't looked into it in much detail yet). The First Choice for First Aid From Cardiff to Calcutta...
Sorry but cold calling gets no response from me, I hate them I really do and always so no ,no matter how good the offer .As the saying goes once bitten twice shy , it happened when we first got here
Incidentally... Found your website, and love it... The First Choice for First Aid From Cardiff to Calcutta...
I am with the anti cold calling gang I am afraid. You need to have some sort of relationship first (a business one I mean!) I would think about who your ideal client is and then pin down where they are, which social media they use, or where they are based and target your marketing like that. Not that I am any kind of expert! Just calling people could waste a lot of time. Thanks, Rebecca CV and blog writer Pay for Precision | Saving you time by writing you kick-ass blogs and CVs.

“And on the note of cold calling, make sure you use a clean list, having checked they are not on the TPS list. I just hate it when so called professional companies ignore or flout the rules.”
Ever tried filing a complaint with TPS? Like wading through treacle, till you get bored and give up.
aditems, don't go down the survey route either, it's still a cold call and we still get the hump  |
