phoneFor some people, this is one of the hardest part of having your own business. There is no one else to do it… it’s my business and my job to make the call. On this one, I am talking from experience. I simply freeze up and my heart starts pounding when I have to call someone I don’t know.

But as making calls is a necessity in most businesses, I had to learn a few tricks… and fast. I found that if I made a list of points that I wanted to cover and had it right in front of me when I made the call, it seemed easier. Suddenly I wasn’t talking off the top of my head, I had a direction to follow.

I also noticed that if I looked the part in my own mind, my confidence received a little boost. I know that the person on the other end would have no idea if I was sitting in a pair of pajamas or a dress and heels, but for some reason, it made a difference in my own head.

If you have a problem making calls, maybe the same tricks will work for you! Can’t hurt to try.
