Sorry to use your post as a jumping off point for a rant about mindless cold calling, because it sounds like we are basically in agreement about how to make it work. I've enjoyed reading your posts and wish you continued success with The List. It's a great service. Todd – Thanks for adding that.

I couldn't agree with you more that you should send prospects something of value. Smart firms may lead with examples of their work, whether in printed form or via email, white papers, case studies, etc. I hope the post doesn't come across as an endorsement of "smiling and dialing" without anything to back it up. While that approach may work with enough call volume, leading with something of value should significantly improve your results. Todd Hi Mark,
