Hey guys. Ive been cold calling and cold emailing boutiques. 95 percent of them have responded stating, "we're not hiring".
Have any of you faced such situations? How did you guys manage to over come it? Is there anyway one could change or influence their decisions via cold calls and emails?
Thanks in advance.

For FT or SA?
FT. In fact,either way.

Keep in touch, and keep pestering them if you really want it, but generally just move on to greener pastures.
Here are a few things you need to do
Tell them you are still interested and will keep in touch in case any new positions open Try to figure out why they aren't hiring if you can be subtle about it Leave a memorable impression if possible. Use your best selling point Follow up once in a while, showcase some work you've done that is relevant to them
The general idea. Behind these actions is not to sell too hard. At the same time, prove you are useful and can add value to the firm. Don't tell them they are missing out, let them come up with that themselves AFTER they see what you can do.
state that you are interested in both FT and SA/internships
and emailing is in my opinion the superior way to cold calling
if you know how to write perfectly ofc.. because you give them the time, and also they will put you in their database or forward your CV to someone..
The same way you dodge, " I don't fuck on the first night" or "I don't know you like that"
