Thanks, Rick!
You say nay to bulk mailers. What about targeted mailers to decision makers?
Interesting Derek.
So after you get the name of the D.M. you make a direct call to him or her?
Anything after that? Letter, return visit to the office?

Face to face still works well for commercial sales. Don't get me wrong you'll get plenty of rejection. But if you persist at it, you will see that it works.
Check out this brief EncapBlog video I made that outlines how to get in front of good prospects...

And while you're at it, this video may be helpful too...

And make sure you push doing a DEMO. It's been said that...
"A presentation without a demonstration is just a conversation."
Wishing you success as you get out and land commercial accounts!

It can be very difficult - if not impossible - to stop what you're doing in order to listen to what might for right or wrong seem to be a 'pitch'.
then like me, don't even ask to speak with the D.M. get the name from the gate keeper, go home and call back. the gate keeper can and will easily say not interested over the phone. however in person, the gate keeper will, from my experience, 95% of the time give you the D.M.'s name.
