Warming up cold calling

For goodness sakes, what's wrong with YOU? You're the "authority." (Authorship = authority, particularly since you wrote 5 books on the subject.)

You should be contributing content to help the rest of us and entice us to buy your books.

I question your angle. I question your motives.

You're the new one here.

Btw, your reaction to my post... gives me a clue as to how much experience you have in the field.

I wait in front of their house and then when they go inside I call and let them know that I just happened to be in the neighborhood and noticed they just arrived home. Then I ask them if they would like to hear a joke or maybe a riddle. I ask them if they love their family. Then I ask them how much they would be willing to spend to protect their family.
