Cold calling as an employment skill

That sounds exhausting bothering people all day.

I get a lot of cold calls. Its annoying as all frick.

My wife had to do this for a job, she lasted about 6 weeks.

Other than just don't call.

This is all I can think of. I'd even be open to a simple email telling me what you pander. I can be pandered when I have time that way.

In my line of work, I receive calls regarding printers/plotters. If we are looking to get something new, I will call you. I do not need to be reminded every couple of weeks that you are around and looking to move some Canon's.

In saying that though, I understand/sympathize with the OP. I would absolutely hate to have that job.

Yea I hear y'all luckily my career will not involve cold calling.

It is such a grind doing the same thing all day everyday, and on top of that...people hate you for calling them. The absolute worst kind of sales. Without a doubt.

I 100% understand why someone says no and says they're not interested. What I couldn't stand was when someone would treat you like a second class citizen.

Salesmen are a dying breed due to technology. If they need something, they can contact someone within minutes. I wanted to switch gears within the company and work more towards e-sales, but the company I was with didn't really see the need.

Not unusual for best inside sales folks to move up to outside sales, maybe in charge of key account or two and that can get you noticed. Only you know if the company is a dead end. The skills are definitely transferable. Spice it up for the resume.
