Its also the biggest lead gen tool for lazy BDR's.
4 cold calls so far in the last 2.5 hours. I know because I have a burner number tied to it.
The emails are incessant.
The latest trend is them reaching out on weekends.
Those I generally engage with to let them know I'd never do business with anyone that thinks it's appropriate to pitch me on my days off.
And none of them have any etiquette.
On the occasions I do answer every single one will open with "Is this Scott?" forcing me to respond with "Who is calling?" which most times they will answer with their name and nothing else forcing me to ask from what company?
What happened to the days of proper decorum, "Hello, My name is Joe Smith calling from The Widget company. I'd like to speak to Bob if he is available"
The ones that really annoy me are the ones who call from our competition. "I checked your website and think there is synergy with my company and services we can offer you"
Either you did not do your homework or you don't even know what business your own company is in because we are competitors.
It's a spam factory.
