Ever wonder how cold callers get hold of your personal phone number in #UAE? A person’s data is often recorded when they buy or rent a property, one agent who sources data for clients, told The National. In Dubai, the agent said, there are about 1,600 Excel sheets for all areas, with each sheet including anywhere between 5,000 to 50,000 rows of data. “The latest data for property owners and high-net-worth individuals ranges from Dh3,000 to Dh8,000, although you’ll see widely exaggerated numbers like $5,000 upwards." Research has shown cold calling and spam marketing to be highly ineffective, yet the practice remains widespread, “particularly where the work culture prioritises activity over results”, Alasdair Hall-Jones, director of the Marketing Society. “In these environments, the act of making calls is often viewed as a sign of productivity, regardless of the outcome. This ‘box-ticking’ mentality allows management to demonstrate that efforts are being made, even if those efforts do not translate into meaningful business growth.”
