While this is not the automated solution that you are looking for -- perhaps it will help nonetheless.
You may know that there are numerous companies which will supply sales
leads (basically, lists of sometimes pre-qualified names) which you, as
the salesperson, where your fingers out trying to 'convert' to
appointments by 'cold calling'.
You may not be aware that there are firms that will take this a step further and actually set sales appointments for you.
Although their fees may seem high at first -- a lot of salespeople
(read: good closers) find that the money spent is well worth it -- in
that the sales professional's time is spent -- selling -- rather than
prospecting.
I happen to have worked for one such company --
Prosperity Phone Services, Inc.
-- as a scriptwriter a few months ago. Although they specialize
in serving the insurance industry -- they serve all kinds of Sales
Professionals. They are located in my local area (on the West
Coast) but, they serve clients throughout the nation. If you contact
them, tell Todd (the Boss) that: Steve -- his former scriptwriter --
referred you.
