What is Direct Solicitation & Cold-Calling? Direct solicitation, or Cold-Calling activities are a MOST IMPORTANT part of the job-search concept called Networking. “Network” begins when you develop lists of people to contact who might provide a job, job-leads, career, or employment counseling, informational interviewing (which is similar to career, or employment counseling), or other contacts who may direct you to still other contacts who may be able to assist you find potential job opportunities, job interviews, and eventually a job. Include friends, relatives, church, or club members, perhaps former work-colleagues, neighbors, and all of their friends, on your list. HOWEVER, beyond this, you should directly solicit, or do cold-calls to ALL appropriate business in your geographic region. Are you willing to relocate, or considering relocation to another geographic region, within the state where you currently reside, or even to a different state? If so, you can still do networking, but the Direct Solicitation, or Cold Calling methods will certainly prove to be even more important to know about, understand, and use in that situation. Direct Solicitation, or Cold-Calling, means: you do NOT know whether, or not, a job even exists. Essentially, Direct Solicitation, and Cold Calling are both “Direct” methods. Each begins with serious research to develop lists of prospective companies that might be potential job-leads, plus you MUST also identify the names of mangers to contact “directly” within those prospective companies on your list. So, your first step is to find out were there are sources that can provide you with this type of information. Take heart, however,a very impressive statistic about the Direct & Cold Call methods (see chart at the top of the opening page) is a composite of studies, showing that up to 34.9% of ALL LEVELS OF JOBS GOTTEN, are gotten from Direct Solicitation, or Cold-Calling. WOW! That’s a “powerful” incentive for using these methods. Compare this with just 12-15% from newspaper classified ads, 5-7% from employment agencies, or the surprisingly small, 3-4% from the Internet (Yep! It’s a fact). So, this dynamic technique should get you excited. IN FACT, it should be a major part of your DAILY job-search activity. The good news is, there are a wealth of guidelines—and resource lists available for your use. Included in this workbook are numerous pages of valuable, in-depth resource directories information for you to search-out and identify specific companies and organizations, grouped within specific industry groups. These are “direct” contact, job-lead sources. Also, when you use the Direct Solicitation method, you MUST include a cover-letter stating your “Job Objective,” or put an OBJECTIVE on your resume.
