One of the best pieces of advice I ever got given was find out a name. Reading a job application addressed to "Dear Sir/Madam" is an immediate put off - you haven't done your research and you'll end up in the bin. However, a letter addressed "Mr Jones, I write following my phone call of <date> regarding my wish for employment with <company name>" - that will get attention. It's not a standard CV sent to hudreds of companies - you've given it some time. It will at very least make them read what you have to say, which is usually the biggest hurdle.
