Scams are bad. But cold-calling selling a genuine B2B product is a beautiful right-of-passage for anyone doing sales.

Teaches you grit, rejection, tonality, relationship-building, and the elation of closing a sale all-in-one.

It's also one of the few outbound marketing channels that isn't yet swallowed up by Meta/Google, and can be done by any scrappy teenager.

Unpopular opinion here, I'm sure.
