However in choosing...</title><content type='html'>Both methods can be effective. However in choosing one over the other I would choose the office visit. Let&amp;#39;s face it, it takes much more bravado to actually walk in uninvited to a place of business instead of safely and comfortably picking up the phone. Having said that, it&amp;#39;s much easier for potential customers to say no over the phone than in person, you can leave and receive business card contact info, you can leave behind sales marketing materials, you can discuss in person current promotions etc your company is offering and most importantly you are putting a real live human face behind your product and not hiding behind a telephone.  Face to face interaction will gain you trust and credibility and when you followup on the phone the next day, they will actually know who they are talking to!&lt;br /&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Nicholas S.
