As a consumer, I don’t want you to find me. I’ll find you when I need you.
replyThere are places that list businesses, like the yellow pages of old, or place ads in publications that are relevant to the services or products you offer.
If you sell tires, and I don’t need tires, I don’t want to hear or see anything about tires.
I’ve never gotten a cold call for a quality, useful product. It’s either scams or scam-adjacent.
replySame thing with door-to-door salespeople. Seems like in the past the percentage of people selling useful stuff like cleaning products, Avon, or yard service was higher. Now it seems to be out of town companies selling solar scams, roof inspection, or some other multi-thousand dollar thing sold via high-pressure sales.
List it in a register that people can search when they're actively looking for products like yours.
replyWhy should shits be given? Find a better way to advertise than harassing people.
replyAdvertising is such a zero sum game as well. The only reason companies have to cold call market is because their competitors are cold calling. So you have to participate to keep up. If no one can do it, no one is getting a leg up over the rest.
replyYou’re making a lot of assumptions. What is the cost benefit for cold calling? You could conceivably be better off letting the competition bleed. But I suspect a legit cost benefit analysis is hard to come by, mostly because marketing sells itself to management first.
replyDo you personally buy everything from the telemarketers? If not, how do you find the products you want to buy?
replyAs if we don't already have enough advertisement channels in our lives.
reply>how do you keep promoting or selling your product if yiu cannot find your customers?
replyYou don't.
