Thank you for requesting opinions of others regarding telephone directory (local)for gaining new PSAs? Looking at the quick progress you have made already, people should be asking you how you have already done so well. Asking is one signs of genius--a Biblical directive which we a;; should follow:
"Ask and you shall receive; knock and it shall be opened unto you."
So, for what my two cents worth is worth, here goes:
If you can avoid scamming and being obtrusive, by all means, use it as ONE OF THE WAYS OF BUILDING YOUR BUSINESS. Cold calling is really classified as any calling or contact with a person with whom you are not previously acquainted. But if I called you and said you had won a million dollar Sweepstakes, would you object to me doing it because it was a "COLD" call?
You see, cold calling is determined by the purpose and results of the call. From your standpoint, prospects for leads is a business expense. Buying 10 leads for $39 through SFI at $3.90 each is very expensive if none of them become active. Doing 100 phone calls and getting 3% expressing interest in what you have to offer means little cost except time spent on calling. Any leads developed in this way are far superior because you will develop a friendship with them, and all the benefits derived from personal mentoring BEFORE they enroll in TripleClicks and SFI. A correctly tutored affiliate will be worth ten times one who makes a few simple errors initially following the right steps outlined by SFI.
So the correct answer to your question is---YES---by all means, if you can offer something which have value to the one called---and at low cost to you, if it makes your call unobtrusive to the person called, and not prohibitive in cost to you. For example, would they accept Silver Dollars if you were giving them away? Or Would they join TripleClicks for FREE if you gave them a $12 Gift Card? Are you willing to spend $29 on 30 TripleClicks GiftCards to give to 30 new TripleClicks enrollees? And how many of them would enter into SFI from your newly developed personal relationship in joining TripleClicks? In a Test Run of 90 Gift Cards given away at a cost of $97, could you tell if dollars and effort expended proved to be worthwhile? I hope so. After thinking about it, I might try it myself!!
Best wishes
