For "send an email," ask what specific information would be most helpful to include.
Clear Next Steps (Call to Action):

Multi-Touch Cadence:
Cold calling should be part of a broader sales cadence australia phone number list that includes personalized emails, LinkedIn messages, and voicemails. It often takes multiple attempts (5-8 calls) to reach a prospect.
Send a personalized follow-up email immediately after the call, summarizing key points and confirming the next step.
Timing: Studies suggest late afternoons (4-5 PM) and mid-mornings (10-11 AM) are often good times, with Wednesdays and Thursdays being generally better days.
Regulatory and Ethical Considerations
Regardless of B2C or B2B, adhering to telemarketing regulations is paramount. Non-compliance can lead to significant fines and reputational damage.
Do Not Call (DNC) Registries: In many countries (e.g., USA, UK, Canada, Australia), consumers can register their phone numbers on DNC lists, which telemarketers are legally prohibited from calling. Businesses must scrub their calling lists against these registries.
