Two thoughts.

Are cold outbound calls really critical to your sales/marketing strategy? What is the goal of these calls and can you achieve it any other way? Even if the alternatives are somewhat less optimal, if they are more palatable you’ll probably do them more and be happier about it. You’ll be more motivated to do them. That upside could outweigh any downsides compared to cold outbound.

Second, if you really have to do them, just do them. Repeatedly. If they are really painful and you must do them do MORE of them, not less. Grind it out and see if your feelings towards them change over time. It may or may not. Regardless you’ll have gotten through a ton of calls in the meantime, and hopefully much closer to your overall goal.

Good luck!
