April 20, 2007, Newsletter Issue #104: Warming Up the Cold Call

Tip of the Week

If you have gone through the friends, the friend's friends, the neighbors,
and the neighbor's neighbors, and you are still short on people for your
committees and participation in your event, you may be looking at
doing some cold calling. Try to make this easier (mostly on yourself!) by doing some research and trying to find some natural connections vresus just literally knocking at doors or picking up the phone and calling! Here are some examples:

When I worked for the Heart Association I would go in to the hospital or doctor's offices because there is a natural connection between heart disease and the medical community. It made sense for the local hospital to want to have a member or several representatives on the committee putting together the project.

Places that appeal and market to the general public are also good places to go to get a representative. Banks, and restaurants would be some good examples.
