Cold calls vs cold emails

Cold calls are infinitely worse

Cold calls are better from a sales perspective because the seller gets to control the conversation if the call is answered and the consumer gives them any kind of opening. Cold calls are not meant to be successful, though, so the caller knows to expect hang ups or no answers 99.9% of the time.

Cold call. If you’re a good looking woman. I would talk to any hot sales rep that came knocking on my door. Didn’t matter what she was selling.
Hardlegs were told to make an appt.

Women in sales have the advantage on the first call.

not sure. I hate pushy people so cold calls usually never work on me and I delete emails selling stuff. I just generally hate people. Get the dog to email me and we'll talk!

This is true.

This doesnt make sense though. When you get a cold call, you have no idea what they look like. If this is someone you have done business with before, it is no longer a cold call.

Cold calls as in phone calls versus emails?

Yes

Neither work on me. I delete email solicitations without reading them, and hang up on unsolicited sales calls.

Most women in my field are hot, half retarded, and wholly unsuccessful. They are herded into roles where they don’t have to listen and retain much other than a structured slide deck that nobody listens to. They make substandard wages for the industry, but their jobs are usually second incomes, which are spent on leased motor carriages, designer fashion, and cosmetics.

I prefer email. As someone mentioned, I can glance over it on my own time.

I don't know if it's the younger generation or what but some of these sales guys need better training or instruction.

I've had three different reps from three different companies all do this same thing.

They got me on a cold call. Caller ID didn't recognize but I was expecting an unknown # for business and picked up. Since I already picked up I tell them to send their info to my email and I'll look it over.

I respond to the eventual email and say thank you, I'll keep you in mind if needed.

They follow up at first once a week. Then it becomes once a day emails. Now I'm annoyed and will never use your services even if needed.

Then all 3 eventually hit me with a variation of: "I have been contacting you for xx amount of time now and still haven't received a single order!! You OWE me an order!!"

Well...now you're completely blocked and will tell others in my industry to stay away from you.

The first time it happened thought it was a random nut job. But now I've seen 3 sales reps like this in recent times.
