"I am fully comfortable calling cold leads. A few years ago in college, I worked during the summer for a large non-profit, and one of my responsibilities was to cold call educators about various fundraising events that we were running. At first, I struggled to make these calls because I wasn't used to doing this, but over time I began to enjoy the challenge of persuading folks to hear me out. After I scored a few sign-ups for our events from my cold calling attempts, I was highly encouraged and started setting targets for myself. I found that I'm able to connect with people easily, and if I'm funny and friendly, as well as provide useful information, the cold leads tended to be more receptive to my requests. I'd love to do the same for your company."
