Quote of the Week

"Skill to do comes of doing." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Poet

You want to be a great cold caller? Someone who sends great, engaging emails? Someone who can talk to anyone? You may not realize it, but all of those things take LOTS of practice. They are all skills, something that people can work at and get better at.

So, that means you have to get started! If you don't like cold calling because you feel you're no good at it - unfortunately, you won't get any better unless you actually pick up the phone. It can be daunting and scary - so practice on your relatives and friends first. Then move on to a small new client that isn't intimidating. Keep moving your way up, and watch your confidence grow because of all your practice!
