Cold call can be successful if you have what it takes. It is almost like a science! Most people in the IM world doesn’t have what it takes. Fouthermore, we’d be better off not trying unless you are thick skinded; because people will hang up on you quick these days. Especially in todays economy. People are laid off from work and here you come cold calling….They may tell you a thing or two.

Great post, and I liked the last part too..LOL. I had an uncle who once advised me to do the same thing when I was looking for my first job after graduation. And it really worked! The company I got a job with wasn’t advertising the vacancies so I got really lucky.

Cold calling does work, but it requires two scarce resources: time & leads.
I would suggest having help. Maybe hiring a friend for a few hours a day and have them call leads. Finding those is not easier either. Another option is to simply browse sites you come across and email the owners about how they can improve their branding and marketing with web design. Everyone welcomes free advices, and they are very likely to email you back with more questions.
