Fiser's Daily Thoughts - 4.15.11

FDTs for 4.15.11:

Weekend Edition!

1. Cold Calls. Just hearing these words can make people shiver. Is a true cold call becoming extinct due to social media? I've often used LinkedIn and Twitter to warm a lead up before calling a prospect. I'm mixed on whether to begin with a strict cold call or the social media warm-up. Both have pros/cons and seem to be largely dependent upon factors such as the age, industry, personality of your prospect.  Regardless, I believe a mix of both optimizes your chances of turning a prospect into a client. What's your choice and why?
 
2. If you haven't already, check these guys out. SeatGeek (@SeatGeek). I first read about this company in Fast Company (@fastcompany) a while back. Some of the perks of using them: Aggregate tickets from several online ticket providers, pricing forecast and a peek of your seat view before you buy.  

3. Haven't had these guys in a while. So delicious...
