Calling List Resources

Feb 16, 2013 7:30 pm

Asked twice in another thread without any answers, so I figured maybe I should just start a thread.

What resources are you guys using to purchase calling lists? I'm looking to pitch munis and preferreds, so I would need a list of high earner/high net worth households or business owners. 

If you aren't purchasing lists, how are you building them?

Does anyone know where to get hands on a corporate directory?

I’ve seen and heard of guys killing it in the rollover business by simply calling on corporate directories with a pitch like: “Hi, I’m Joe Shmoe with XYZ investments. I’m just calling because I work with a few of your colleagues on retirement planning and was going to be in the building Tuesday. Would you be available for 15-20 minutes if I stopped by to say hi?”

Harmless enough and seems almost too simple to work. Just wondering where to get a good list of direct numbers within a firm.
