Is cold prospecting dead to most agents/agencies?

[MidsouthFE]

Guys I really love this section of the forum, but from what I have seen there are not a lot of people using lists to cold knock prospects. Is anyone on here having success doing this (besides @DayTimer of course?)

I Currently subscribe to listshackpro and have definitely written some business doing targeted cold knocking in areas near my appts from my Dm and FB leads. Who else is doing something similar or doorknocking exclusively and seeing a measure of success? I would love to see a few guys come out of the woodwork here and share their positive experiences!

Whirleybird hasn't been seen here since Nov 2017.

Did he burn out or make so much $$$ he did an infomercial and is laying on the beach sipping umbrella drinks?

I've lost contact with him. I know his license is still active in Arizona, but he hasn't ever responded to my emails.

I was curious about him and did a licensee search a month or so ago and didn't find him.

He's there. Just looked him up. License is only effective until the end of this month though.

Take a hint.

Take a hint.

And the HINT would be... use door-knocking and/or cold-calling as a launching pad, not a bed. Leverage those new sales into referrals and keep it going.
