The problem, AZ, is that "you don't buy it" is your round about way of saying I am lying--and, yes, I have a problem with that. It's uncalled for, and its unprofessional.

WOW! That's an unexpected response.

Definately... and you?

Yes, I believe that too. That is why I also agreed with you when you said:
Now if by "Highly Targeted" you mean that somehow you've discovered which companies "are" and "are not" in the market for your service and limiting your calls to those who "are" then with a good offer a high success rate is possible.

I don't think it is. Prospecting relates to finding potential customers. Promotion [marketing function] relates to attracting potential customers.

We're talking about contacting potential customers by phone or face to face right?

Some people may have other activities they would consider as prospecting but those are the two activities that come to my mind.

What about prospecting by mail or even email?
