I know there are many here who, as part of their job, have had to do cold calling. You know, that wonderful time where you door knock at businesses to raise awareness of your business and to garner new clients.

Some of us may have tried to sell vacuum cleaners, insurance, cell phone plans or even energy company products. I am sure that some loved it; others hated it!

Back in 2015, I wrote a blog about my experiences back in the early 2000s as I worked to start my window washing business. Here is the link to that blog:

But I am now in 2017, and about to embark on a new cold calling drive. I want to develop a large commercial route for my window washing business that I have recently restarted in Australia's third largest city. It occurred to me that here at Wealthy Affiliate, amongst these thousands of experienced business people, will be cold calling gurus. People who have nailed the skilled of making the call, promoting the product and closing the deal.

So I reach out to you all. What are your Top 5 Tips that I can use to promote and grow my business? I have a website already, courtesy of the amazing training at WA. I need ideas for once I am on the street and walking into the boutique, cafe, realtor, car dealership, etc.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Till next time,
