Cold Emailing or Cold Calling?

Which is better? Sending cold emails to prospective clients, or calling them on the phone?

I prefer cold calling to ask for the best email address possible, and then warm emailing the contact.

But wait! Cold calls with a not-so-quiet toddler at home?

Here’s my solution:

When my daughter’s sleeping or occupied, or on weekends when I can’t call anyway, I target an industry and use the library database “Reference USA” to get web addresses. Then I look for email addresses on the websites and send them my cold email.

On days when she’s at the babysitters, I make as many cold calls as I can in an allotted amount of time. Then I take care of errands (like grocery shopping, housecleaning, and sleeping!)

Today’s Saturday and I’ve got about two hours before she wakes up. Time to cold email!

  1. Hiya, i have seen your site when searching a few weeks ago and i really love the design! I just bought a new 3 character domain (cost me a packet) for a niche review blog, and i was wondering if your design is a free or paid one? I’m new to Wordpress and about to set it up, and i would really like to get something with a similar look to yours. Any ideas where i could download or buy something similar? Thanks for your help! :)

    I prefer cold emailing. Though I never thought to call it that way. I’ve been doing that to get interviews for my site.
