General Business ServicesSales and Client Acquisition3MediumOwner$ implied
Comparing the cost and effectiveness of cold calling versus Facebook ads for client acquisition, with cold calling becoming increasingly expensive and ineffective due to spam filtering.
Cold calling costs are rising due to dialers, skip tracing, and subscriptions, while effectiveness drops because of phone spam filtering; social media ads require learning but are less risky.
