Cold calling tips: First, practice before calling. Second, try to come across as a professional -- not salesy. If possible, state a reason for calling. 

In my opinion, Cold Calling becomes easier and become a bit warmer if you can lead with customer reviews. A lot of our business comes from referrals from existing customers and as those customers write reviews about our platform, we have experienced even more growth, because when we reach out to potential customers, they go online and see the positive feedback from other small businesses who use our platform.  

We help get small businesses more reviews and if you have a good product or service, those reviews often end up converting customers without cold calling, and as you build your reputation, those you are cold calling may already know about your product or service.
