Anyone else have extreme anxiety cold calling?Decided enough is enough and started calling yesterday. Made it about a half hour. One great convo, one ok one, a few people hung up on me, most didn’t answer. Felt good.Today I load everything up, one of the first people who answers goes off on me. I’m trying to have a good mentality of it (he told me he was never going to use me now, not like he was going to use me as a realtor before he ever heard of me!) but the anxiety sky rocketed. Ended my session after a few more minutes because my voice was quivering too much. Even mispronounced my own name.Hopefully tomorrow goes better…
Yes I think most people do. I think once you get going you’re good. You’re trying to go thru some grumpy lumpys to get to the people who want to do business with you. The beauty is Ricky had worked to figure all of this out. Just 123 hit it!!!
Absolutely have this issue as well at times… it helps me to physically review my goals/standards when it gets bad. I also have a short list that I look at for why making the calls is worth it, the reasons may be obvious but it helps me to review the potential positive outcomes. Ironically today I was feeling the same for awhile, and added “meeting even one person who appreciates and/or needs your help is worth speaking with 100 people who don’t, and you will 100% meet someone who wants your help at some point.”
I just found Ricky and I will tell you I am in the same boat. Just signed with a new company and the call reluctance is terrible for me. I am trying but no where I should be.
