Maybe it's because I'm not a native english speaker, but isn't there a huge difference between looking up numbers and showing up in person in a business (casual) attire?

I don't understand the downvotes, the above strategy worked really well for me and I'm a very shy person with no sales background.

Cold calling got it's name from that but generally people think of it as reaching out to someone to sell them something with no prior introduction.
