Eric, thanks for your comments. My first job was telemarketing. I was good at it but lasted only six months because it was such a miserable job. I agree there are easier, more cost effective ways to make the connections.
I herd my 6 cats daily in the wilds of rural Maryland. Have you seen the old EDS Herding Cats commercial? It's my all time favorite. Search for herding cats on You Tube and you'll see why 😃.
