Listen to marketing pros Ilise Benun and Colleen Wainwright present:

Cold Calling is the Brussels Sprouts of Marketing

Done wrong, cold calling is every bit as loathsome as the vegetable we all grew up hating. But just as with the humble sprout, if you approach it the right way, not only will you enjoy the benefits to your business from reaching out to total strangers, you'll actually come to enjoy the process itself. (Scripts and tips to make cold calling easier and some recipes to make brussels sprouts tastier are included!)
