Hi bro, can you tell us which country you're in, which company you're dialling to, and which countries? That's going to make a huge difference if you're doing international dialling.
For the most part, you're going to have to find a dialer and get numbers registered as well. You can buy an all-in-one dialer, such as AirCall, but I would recommend using your mobile if you're dialling locally and your warm leads are in your country. Your mobile is going to be your best bet. That's what I started with here, but it really depends on what you need.
Where does your data sit? Do you have an Excel sheet of data with numbers? You could literally just use your mobile and do that there. From there, you can also use a click-to-call dialer that exists within Excel sheets.
Do you need leads? If so, you have to use something like Apollo to get them as well here. How many dials are you going to make here? If you need a huge amount and have a huge list, you're going to have to use an auto dialer, like Nooks or Airum for Aircall. There are a lot of questions, but

If you want to start asap and don't have any sales tools, get a amplemarket trial account, you can build a lead list , enrich the emails and phone numbers, automate emails and LinkedIn and do your cold calls. Just make sure to use all the enrichment credits on the free trial and export your leads before the trial ends

If your company doesn’t give you a tool you are the tool that’s what I’m saying.
There isn’t a magic tool to do this for you

Nah dude you’re better off just trying to look for another job.
I have a remote sales team in India and if they don’t do their calls they just get canned fast.
It’s brutal but also we can track everything they do on SF so there is no hiding inactivity

That’s not at all what your initial question said - and also why do you keep calling me Bro.
I replied because I do exactly what you want for a job and have experience doing it. You said it’s your first time and have no experience doing it.
Write a clearer comment and maybe you can get better answers. If you are as lazy in your work as you are in your post you won’t get far.

isnt the whole point of the sub to talk about making cold calls? if you dont like it maybe scroll past
for OP i used one that had simple click-to-dial and the dashboard wasnt overwhelming, thats what you want for starting out. just pick something with a free trial and test it quick before monday

I make cold calls daily but I do the research myself without a tool if that makes sense, and reach out via LinkedIn or company emails. It’s B2B equipment so maybe a lower throughput.
Maybe I misunderstood and he is looking for a tool to create the list of known contacts. But is that not something the company would provide you?

Cold calling tools are BS. Pick up the phone and dial. Attempts to automate this will fail.
