Getting data base leads of investors

[Dennis Johnson]

Can anyone give suggestions if a database list of investors a good or bad idea. Considering contacts in my local region. Is it a good icebreaker before getting a face to face meeting.

First of all, I'd not likely pick up the phone. Secondly, as soon as a I heard the sales pitch I'd be finding a way to get off the phone. So basically, no I don't think it'll work. It doesn't have to be a face to face meeting but building the relationship has to be organic in some fashion.
