Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s as hotly debated as your grandma’s secret chili recipe – the showdown between cold calling and cold emailing.

At Outreech, we’ve had our fair share of both techniques, and we’re here to spill the beans on why we’ve got a soft spot for cold emailing. But don’t worry, we’ll give cold calling its fair shake too.

The Battle Royale: Cold Calling vs. Cold Emailing

The Icebreaker

Cold Calling: It’s the old-school method where you dial up numbers, introduce yourself, and hope to strike gold with your pitch.

Cold Emailing: It’s the digital approach, where you craft engaging emails and send them to your prospects. You might not hear their voices, but you’re certainly heard!

The Initial Impact

Cold Calling: You can make a quick impression but, more often than not, it’s a game of hit or miss. People don’t always have time for unscheduled calls.

Cold Emailing: You’re giving your prospects the freedom to open and read your email when it suits them. It’s like a virtual door-to-door visit, without the awkward doorstep small talk.

Efficiency and Scalability

Cold Calling: It’s time-consuming and requires a lot of manual effort. Plus, you’re often restricted to a certain number of calls you can make in a day.

Cold Emailing: With the right tools and strategies, you can send a bunch of personalised emails at once. It’s like casting a wider net in a shorter time.

Personalisation

Cold Calling: It’s tough to be highly personalised during a call, especially when you’re making dozens of them in a day.

Cold Emailing: You can tailor your emails to each prospect, addressing their pain points, which makes them more likely to engage.

Cost Efficiency

Cold Calling: It requires resources for phone lines, CRM software, and the sheer time it consumes.

Cold Emailing: While you might need an email marketing tool, it’s generally more cost-effective.

Trackability

Cold Calling: You can’t track a call’s success as easily as you can monitor email opens, clicks, and replies.

Cold Emailing: You get detailed data on who’s engaging with your emails, which helps you fine-tune your approach.
