Hi all!

When you're trying to get attention from prospective clients, which do you think is more effective: a cold call or an unsolicited email? Is it rude to interrupt someone you don't know while they're working? Is your email pitch likely to end up in the spam folder?

I would go for for cold calling - emails are not personal. Me personally, I am always looking for excuse to send an email to the spam folder. I look for keywords. When speaking to someone, you get a response there and then, worse case is the person hangs up on you.

Having said that, I don't like cold calling - I don't like being disturbed for any reason and so I accord others the same respect. My philosophy is, if I want/need something, I know where to go. Worse case, I ask someone. That is why I deal strictly to referrals and adverts.

Well Calling is better and some kinda emails too are welcome,  aslong you tell them what solution you want to render. okay let me gist you, i was in the office when i was done with some creatives for some clients HC if you know someone into advertising will like to read M2 Magazine huh?? i was just fliping through pages and i saw an Advertising Agency posing with yahoo email. So eheheh i was so smart to send an email because i can't imagine an agency not having one.

So immediately send an email and i got a reply infact the deal was sealed through email, afterwards i bell the MD on Phone. HC no tell me say u don dey do website join advertising ooo lol

LOL! All na the same, you know web goes along with advertising. Both require a lot of creativity.

I have done cold-calls in the past and some have been good and some, stories like we will get back to you,
