Do any of you make cold calls? If so, who do you call, what do you offer, and how do you seal the deal? Or, they just a waste of time? Any input you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
I might when I see a PR or ad agency when driving. I also try to look up any in the area if I am driving to a shoot outside of my normal area. cost nothing extra to drop something off because I was already close. At least if they have a sample portfolio you might get on the bid list. Can't hurt is how I feel.
Here's another question: Is it worth calling new local businesses directly to shoot their promotional photos (i.e. headshots for professionals, interiors for restaurants)?
