The sickening fact is that you can try a thousand different approaches and STILL NOT HIT THE ONE THAT WORKS. Guessing is NOT a good idea in starting a telemarketing unit. Persistence and tenacity are one thing, but it is not clever to bang one's head against the same wall in the same spot, hoping a door will eventually materialize...
