我们都知道“cold”有“冷”的意思,“call”是“打电话”。那如果这两个词组合起来变成“cold-call”,又是什么意思呢?先来看看英文释义:

to call or visit a possible customer to try to sell them something without being asked by the customer to do so

在没有客户要求的情况下,给潜在客户打电话或拜访,试图向他们推销产品

所以“cold-call”就是我们平时最讨厌的“推销电话”。

cold call是什么意思?

例句:

He was handed a list of numbers to cold-call.

有人给了他一串电话号码,让他打电话推销。
