Hey guys,
I'm looking for a little bit of honest perspective from the buy side, about how you choose to interact with the sell side.
Does anyone here on the fixed income buy-side frequently recieve calls from sales coverage? What would you recommend to a broker cold calling you? Do you even listen to cold callers? Do you ever listen to their ideas/pitch? What grabs your interest when you get a call? What kills your interest? Would you rather them call with a bond or trade idea or a promising relationship? Are you more likely to hear them out if they work for a larger firm? How would you feel about an unsolicited Bloomberg message/email about your coverage and would you reply? What part of the day/week/month are you more likely to take calls seriously?
If you can include how large your firms/departments AUM is in your reply it would help a bit
