Ask HN: What apps did/do you use for cold calling?
I spent a day making cold calls to businesses on behalf of a friend's startup the other day. I lost a lot of time between calls grabbing information about the next lead (from a pre-compiled list) and typing in the number.
A simple app to automate the above would have been great, but I couldn't find one that just does this and little else. The apps that I did find were either designed for large teams (and so too expensive for the 3 of us) or tried to integrate inbound calls (and so was unnecessarily complicated).
Talkdesk.com as advertised pretty much matched our needs, and will be what we probably end up using. But we can't find half the features that they promote, since all of their screenshots seem to be before some massive redesign. Their power dialling feature, for example, would be great - if we could find it!
Has anyone else ever needed such a simple tool? Has anyone found it?
