My company works through referrals. It's not the type of business where they would ever cold call someone. They call strictly through highly reliable referrals. So, the nature of the business will come into play. I write about staffing because I am cold called every day and have been for years. I am sympathetic to their cause because agencies are just trying to make new contacts. I do think there are more effective ways to do this in today's business world since so much has changed and clients are more sophisticated than they were in the past. Client work differently, so agencies need to match strategies with what clients will relate to. Hope that's helpful! Best regards, Cathy Scott,

I'm wondering how the sales people in your business go about contacting their clients? If you aren't selling pizza, your phone generally doesn't just ring with requests for your services or products. Cold calling is ONE effective way of meeting new prospects. If done correctly, the "interruption" should last no longer than a minute or so. thanks, Scott Catherine,

This falls in line with a recent blog Seth Godin did on further understanding business development: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/09/understanding-business-development.html.
