Cold Calling advice

I have been calling up plumbers and roofers and have been getting a lot of No's from the on set. I have been using the opener "Hi [prospect's name] Your going to hate me it is a cold call, I am not sure if that makes you want to throw your phone out the window or let me have 30 seconds and then decide."

I was planning on giving them a call after a week using the same opener or do you think I should go with "I have been set a tricky task, not sure if you can help, can you let me have 30 seconds and we see where we end up?"

this was my plan on the approach, what are your guys thoughts on this? Another thing how do I stay motivated after hearing a "No" from the on set? I got 10 of these in a row and ended up doubting if this approach is going to work for my niche.

Also I am curious do you guys just do cold calling or do you send out emails and social media DM's to your prospects. I have been just only been doing cold calling to get clients do you think I should be start sending out DM's and email to all the ones I call or only the ones that seem interested?
