Cold calling isn’t dead, but it has definitely changed. In today’s environment, generic mass calling doesn’t work the way it used to — people are more selective and often ignore unknown numbers. What still works is targeted outreach, where you understand the business, their problem, and approach the call more like a conversation rather than a sales pitch.

that are already making you money

Guys i think this strategy work :
You call the person
say I saw you don't have website
then i say i have set up free home page
it will take only 5 mins to review if you like you can keep it and I can live it for you blah blah etc

You can also use the opener "I'm going to be honest this is a cold call would you like to hang up now or give me 30 seconds?"

Pretty much still is. For websites you can still land clients, especially with local businesses. Though it'd have to be targeted. Just blasting calls off of a scraped list could be rough.
Your edge is the data side. If you can source and filter good leads instead of random ones, you’re already ahead.
But yeah, still viable but it’s more about precision and relevance than volume now.

You need to have an incredible good offer in order to cold call people. Something in the lines I design your site for free and and you only pay monthly for updates, or other similar offers where the client has 0 risk. So basically cold calling isn't dead, you just have to find an original twist around it in order to market your products/services very effectively.

Yeah, still works in a lot of B2B/services niches, just needs to be more targeted now instead of
mass dialing. Combined with some prior context , it tends to convert way better than cold calling
completely blind.
