Rather, you use Seth Godin's mantra of permission marketing and take it to a different level.Corporate executive decision makers don't want to be bothered by cold callers. So, Rick's

Imagine sitting in an HR Managers office, a Director of Human Resources discussing a change project gone bad and he tells you, “I’m glad I travel, I hate people coming in to my office.” That actually happened on one project and the guy worked for a big, glamour Company and was in charge of a large division of the outfit.
