But sending an out-of-the-blue meeting invitation to a cold lead is the wrong move, ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT of the time.
Don’t do this. Don’t ever do this.
It’s not chutzpah. It’s not being a go-getter. It is NOT standard practice, either for corporate sales in general or your industry in particular. It is sure as fuck neither taking the initiative nor being proactive.
@sushubh This problem seems to be unique to the #USA as #robocalls - like any unsolicited #ColdCalling and #Spam - are illegal in #Germany [towards individuals - not companies / corporations / organizations] and @BNetzA as regulator terminates abused numbers within minutes of reporting!
Pienso fehacientemente que muchas de las personas que, cuando les llama un comercial para venderles algo y sólo saben tener malas palabras y un trato nefasto hacia el comercial, de ser al revés, no aguantarían ni 1 hora de lo que es la venta fría telefónica.
Entiendo que somos pesad@s y que a las personas les llegan muchas veces llamadas de la misma empresa ofreciéndole lo mismo, pero nosotros no manejamos a quién llamamos, nos llegan las llamadas y así tal cual tenemos que hacer el speech. Un poquito de comprensión no vendría mal a algun@s.
Como consejo, nosotr@s l@s teleoperadores/as preferimos que cuelguen la llamada diciendo "No, gracias" a tener que estar aguantando insultos y trolleos a quienes solo intentamos ganar algo para poder vivir. #VentaFría#ColdCalling#Teleoperadores
Verbietet per Gesetz endlich Cold-Calls. Schließt diese Lücke und nehmt Ihnen endlich ihr Spielzeug weg, was bedeutet nur spezielle Vorwahlen berechtigen für Vertragsabschlüsse. Das kann man dann sperren wenn man will. Alles andere ist sinnfrei. https://www.giga.de/artikel/telefonnummer-01623012940-wer-ist-das-wirklich/
The last two weeks I have noticed an uptake in scammers using 800 numbers, as such I have now blocked ALL inbound 800 numbers coming into my telephone switch.
@HopelessDemigod I'm glad such #scammers are quite rare in #Germany since #ColdCalling consumers [not businesses] is basically illegal and @BNetzA terminates numbers that get reported for doing so routinely and quickly...
Marketers: my number-one tip for making a cold approach to a prospect is DON’T DO IT. If you’re going to, anyhow, my number-two tip is: Do not pretend it’s a warm approach.
Tip number three? If I ignored your first cold email, don’t send a second one that pretends like we’re in a conversation or that I owe you my availability for a call.
If you did your homework on me and sent 100 emails, but I’ve never replied, email number 101 is still a cold call.
