No offense, but that ticks me off when people make sells calls to me. That’s me though. If it cost nothing but air, then wouldn’t hurt to try. I think it would make more people angry than interested. Give it a shot. Try direct mailers. You can buy mailing list for a reasonable price. If you want to target high end, then go to your local city or county office and ask for demographics on population by income level, or something to that nature.

I ticks me off too, in most cases. If it’s a local service company it doesn’t bother me at all. I had a handyman call me last year to see if I needed anything fixed on my house. I had him come out and patch some stucco for me, and I felt good about giving the little guy some business. I am planning on calling as many churches as I can tomorrow.
If you go door to door in an upscale neighborhood just introduce yourself and tell them what you do….be prepared for a sale…expect a sale and portray that expectation to the homeowner…
Better yet call Barry Lowenthal or Jim Dickey in DC, and ask them how they started their business in December! DOOR TO DOOR!!! Few operators in the company are doing as well.
This subject has been discussed before..might do a search on door to door.
Hope this helps
