Is Cold Calling an Effective Ad Agency New Business Tactic?

I thought I would follow keep the conversation flowing by taking my own poll with a new Twitter tool, twtpoll. So far there have been 119 responses to the question, “How receptive are YOU to cold calls?” An overwhelming majority of respondents, 69%, provided a negative response when it came to cold calls. 29% said they were sometime receptive and only 3% said they were often receptive to a cold call.
