Saw a LinkedIn post this morning talking about the effectiveness (lack of, actually) of Cold FaceTime calls.
Would you FaceTime someone you don't know to ask for a meeting? Have you? Did it work?

Cold FaceTime Calls
25
I'd rather take a position in Marketing than ever even consider doing this.
Tell me when you’re showering, and I will cold FaceTime you
It would be easier to tell you when I'm not showering...S.R.E.A.M.
Idk what SREAM is. Also, why do you shower so much? Doesn’t your skin get dry?
Clearly you don’t listen to Wu Tang…wtf. I thought you were cool…
I am cool. Just not that cool. Call me old-fashioned, but I like good music
Wow you’re doing me so dirty right now. I need a shower. FaceTime me.
SO dirty
You don’t even know the half of it.
When I drive cross-country, if you have friends who are like you, but with less dry skin, introduce me
There ain’t nobody like me honey bun
I am going to assume you're very handsome. This seems like a thing only hot people would ever even consider doing.
I feel like being hot would backfire even more than being ugly in this situation. At least an ugly person is non-threatening. Imagine being of average looks, chillin in your house clothes (I wouldn't know how this feels but I'm trying my best to visualize,) and receiving a call from some hottie dressed to the nines. Not only are you pissed that you're receiving a motherfucking cold VIDEO call, but they have to rub it in your face that they're better looking than you too? Nah man.
Oh I 100% agree... I'm just saying that only someone who doesn't know what it's like to feel ugly has the balls to even ask about cold FaceTiming prospects. Regina George making an appearance here in the War Room tuh-day!
Fair enough.
On Wednesdays we wear pink.

I am not handsome. I would never consider doing this.
I ignored my mother's facetime last night...why would I pick up for another Gong rep to poison my mind?
Hey, you might get a free Gong Thong if you just listen to this 15 minute pitch!!!!
If I received a cold FaceTime sales call, I would find the caller and throw their phone into a fire. That’s insane.
If a boss recommended this, I would throw my own phone into a fire.

I would throw my boss into a fire.
It’s a better strategy than what I offered for sure!
i cannot think of anything more uncomfortable...for both parties
This is an absolutely insane idea. Most people hate getting cold called, let alone face time. No way im picking up a facetime from someone random
More invasive than the cold texts.
These influencers who don't actually SELL need to learn boundaries.

No. This creeps me the fuck out. I would block anyone who tried to do so immediately.
takes someone special to do this kind of prospecting .....
Special is a kind word for it.
This is true, but today has been ok so I kind words all round here 😂
I can't imagine the size of one's balls to connect and be all "hey man, is now a good time?"
😂💀 right!
Wow, I think I would rather sit on a porcupine.
I have seen lots of success in sending videos via LinkedIn though, usually as a follow up to a connection/previous message.

This sounds like the equivalent of Lead Genocide
Yeah, I'm not answering a strange facetime call, nor am I sending a random one
If someone can close a deal using this method they should get 1000 Bravado commish
That kind of bounty for such a heinous act will bring out the worst in humanity.
1 liner - I would never do it it.
i was literally going to make a post about this. FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING GOOD, NEVER EVER DO THIS
I just want to know what kind of person would answer a facetime from a random number...
I literally shuddered reading this.
The awkwardness of this would be the only reason I’d even consider giving it a shot…
I thought about that. Just to see someone's face when I asked for 27 seconds (or whatever)
This whole thing about Cold FaceTime calls is a scam. There is someone looking to prove a point that when it comes to "sales hacks" people will try the dumbest shit they read on the internet just in case it actually works. Common sense says there is NO way this works, like, ever.
Facetiming is weird. I wouldn't even do a video chat for a Bumble match.
No fucking chance. Call me old fashioned, but I don't even facetime with people I know, let alone strangers.
