Cold Calling
(KOHLD KAWL-ing)
An anxiety-inducing sales practice that subjects the caller to repeated emotional trauma, including sweaty palms, racing heartbeats, and existential dread. This often culminates in swift rejection or, worse, voicemail oblivion.
"Each morning, Tim psyched himself up for another brutal round of cold calling, reminding himself that rejection is just character development disguised as emotional torture."
