There is one absolute truth about job search: No one was ever hired without some kind of contact with an employer. Since contact is absolutely necessary, you have three choices:

The more employers you contact each week, the quicker you will uncover openings, interviews, and offers. Other workers who have used this method have found that 50-75 calls usually leads to a job offer. There's another good reason for making all these calls. Repeating this process will make you feel comfortable with it. And you'll get better at it. After 10 (or 20 or 30 or 40) calls you'll feel more relaxed and natural with the people you speak to. You may even have some enjoyable conversations. That's what practice can do for you.
