Cold calling can be fun! It depends on your attitude but what doesn't? Shoot for a sales interview on every cold call but at the very least you can fact find and gather data to follow-up on the phone to set an appointment. Sales people often receive orders from the business cards left behind on a cold call, when a prospect did not have time to see them. Leaving your business card with a note on the back can be a future door opener. "Ms Prospect - sorry I missed you, I'll phone you for an appointment in a few days." Try it. It works!
