I was patiently waiting for this thread to run into reams of posts, but alas! Tks to those who have offered your thoughts. I think this is such a tough subject, because if we do not use telesales, yet another marketing avenue closes down. The other has been cold calling, very few people see reps without an appointment. Spamming is frowned upon. SMS marketing contact not allowed. Pamphlet distribution destroys our rain forests.

The danger looming here is that the ability to sell will be limited to those with an advertising budget, obviously bigger means more - hence end of small business.??

So... ideas anyone??
