When you cold call someone, you better know what your message is, keep it elevator speech short, and stay on point. <br /><br />"Do you have a minute?" amounts to the same thing, but it's a little more effective.

You lose them if you exceed the bounds of the agreement, like when a minute turns into twenty.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120847492230531939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-3873404278794789552010-03-13T22:45:23.080-08:002010-03-13T22:45:23.080-08:00I must give credit for On and On Anon to my good f...I must give credit for <i>On and On Anon</i> to my good friend <a href="http://lightjournal.jameskirkpatrick.com/" rel="nofollow">Jim Kirkpatrick</a>.<br /><br />Bernita, that seems like the kind of guy to avoid at all costs.
