It's a term used by salespeople. If one makes calls trying to sell a product, one either calls someone or some company that has already expressed some sort of interest or one can try cold calls. Cold-calling is making unsolicited contact in the hope of a sale. In my experience the term is most frequently used in the context of making telephone calls.
