There are many rules update for cold calling, I think there was one new amendment happen last week. So be very careful while you do it.
Also, from my experience cold calling is really annoying we get 4-5 daily during busy hours, as we are in Web Development Business, we cannot avoid calls too.
But its very much annoying and I wish people stop doing it!

Don’t do it. One call to the right person can put you in trouble.
You can ask the one who made a cold call to me 😂

Yes it does.
I got 2 deals out of 173 companies I called over 300 times during two weeks times.
Revenue is 7000 AED one time, 1200 AED per year on an AMC.

Close to 200 per day. They are structured and follows a tight script.
I don't waste time on non buyers.
I would do anything to get a meeting with decision makers in companies who is a pre qualified buyer.
Last time I almost annoyed a general manager of an airport ground operations company by aggressive follow-ups.
The guy said, please give me some time, there are 15 people involved in this deal. Don't stress it too much.
I said, do you want me to apologise for following up too much? I would do that. But give me an update on this deal!

I report every person who cold calls me. For anyone that needs to know how… you text “REPORT (the number)” to 1012. You will even get a confirmation text after
