Cold calls are the unsolicited type of calls one makes to a person without really knowing the person or rather knowing the feedback to expect. In the corporate world, such calls are usually made to prospects or clients, more of telemarketing when pitching mostly about a product or service.
A number of us have received such calls from Safaricom, those Tala agents who call to remind you of the loan you owe them and despite the fact that you will probably hang up on them or ignore them they still call anyway. It hurts to be them.
When writing this article, I kept thinking of the many instances I have made this calls to people, it may have been my lecturers, someone who may have posted a job vacancy in some group and I had to shoot my shot despite the uncertainties and also when asking for some financial help (such a huge task for me I must admit). The fact that I may never be sure of what to expect from the other side makes it colder for me.
Let us talk about faith a little, not “your girl Faith” but Faith-Faith haha.This is generally having a strong confidence or belief in something or someone. Most times it gets so hard to have that complete confidence because of the coldness that comes with your situation but you still choose to believe.
Have you ever prayed for something or a situation that you completely got no control over and felt so anxious about, but still chose to pray regardless? Well for me I view that as a cold call to God.
We may never know if our situation will be okay but still believe that things will be fine ,now that is faith at its best.
How about you try and do the things that make you happy without thinking too much about them, just enjoying the present and not focusing much on the what if’s ?
What will count is you making that call to that company regardless of what to expect, you shooting your shot to that lady/man you been wanting and also you making those bold moves you been spending all your life thinking about them .Be like Nike (JUST DO IT).If you die, you die ha-ha
Any Hu ,cold calls are nice and hectic at the same time, I have some experience in that since I once landed a job that required me to make endless cold calls to International clients throughout my shift.To cut this long story short, I got suspended because my internet connectivity was weak asf!.
TEACH HIM INITIATIVE.
