I'm actually hosting a free cold calling challenge in January actually!

Have to laugh at the guy who said cold calling and cold texting don't work.

I’d be careful with outbound AI cold calling due to regulations.

Cold calling is already such a poor-performing strategy. the ONE thing good about cold calling is that you are talking to a HUMAN, building rapport, and asking and answering questions.Now that ONE good thing about it is taken away...Like David above me, no experience, and it would indeed be interesting to see how it does, but that doesn't take away from what I mentioned above.

They had no common sense what so ever.  

I’ve never had this specific issue but mistakes like this are pretty common. 

Cold outreach, networking events, referrals, or something else?

Now consider this: all the groups people are spending fortunes to target—foreclosures, absentee owners, probate leads, tax liens—what do they have in common?

while I totally understand the frustration especially purchasing what was supposed to be a new and ready to go asset, but these things are pretty common so don't feel to discouraged. 

Where I live mice are common as the cold weather drives them inside.
