Catalyst Writing Services actually calculated out the number of people who get interviews within the first 30 days or so with my resumes. It's at about 95%. Makes me happy :-)

Very interesting...what is your 'rate' for resume writing, out of curiosity?

Catalyst Writing Services has been neglecting online marketing efforts. So now we're cold calling, direct mailing, keeping up with the social media: it's a lot to keep up with!

Catalyst Writing Services Considering cold-calling to introduce my business to the NYC market. Not big on the phone sales--but if I do 200 a month, I should get really good at it. Right?

Have you moved to NYC (did I miss that on the blog)?

I am in the same boat with cold calling. I am in the SF Bay Area and would like to introduce my services to other markets.

What's your strategy? How many calls do you plan to make per day?

Yep, I'm in NYC now! It's a recent change and I haven't really talked about it much on the blog. Probably should, if I'm going to introduce my biz to the NYC metro area...

My "strategy"...heh...so I'm thinking I'll try for five to seven calls a day. To start. I don't want to overwhelm myself and I believe in starting small. I'm going to buy a list... Read More from InfoUSA or something like it, work up a decent pitch, and call a bunch of people off my list. I'm focusing on targeting creative directors at marketing companies to start with, and touting my familiarity with web writing, SEO as a marketing initiative, and social networking...they probably have a lot of writers already to do print promos.

Catalyst Writing Services has a bizarre fascination for GIS. It's a map. No, it's a database. NO...i'ts both.
