Be honest.There is a TON of insight in this thread for vendors like myself! I am guilty of setting demos and not factoring time zones, and my spelling at times can be atrocious.
Coming off of a sales floor and into the tech side of the automobile industry has been an undertaking.

But I am having so much fun learning about Word Press, SEO, and digital marketing!
How do you want to be approached by cold callers? What is the best cold call you have gotten recently? What stuck out that they said?
Thanks man!Be honest.
Tell me how you can help me.
Don't call me the last/first few days of the month, a Friday, and if you do, and I say I am slammed, don't try to word track me to get me to agree to a demo, ask when to call back or run the risk of me saying I'm not interested, stop calling.

Don't call me and thank me for being a long term customer and then immediately go into pitching your newest shinny product and then get mad when I stop you 3/4 of the way into your pitch and inform you that I canceled your product 2 years ago and that I've got to go.
-- If I reply and ok a 9am meeting, and you send me a meeting invite for 9am EST - you did wrong. Know your customer and where they are located.
