I swear🙈this is ME most days.

I hate calls!
I would rather have them email or text me.

Infact I’ve closed many clients in DMs.

Yup! You heard that right.

No sleazy sales script.
No pitching like crazy.

I genuinely offer to help when I feel they could use it.

You just gotta know what you’re doing & build that connect.

Of course when new leads come in or when you outreach to people outside your network, you gotta get on a call!

I used to dread it & still do at times but am better.

Here’s my routine:

1️⃣ STALK BEFORE YOU TALK

TBH I ever practice how I’ll order food before I signal the waiter so this is a No Brainer for me!

Unplanned & surprise conversations are not most introverts favourite.

So do a proper research on your client. Ask them for details like their website, company name, socials.

In simpler words, STALK then like your stalk that celebrity crush of yours.

Then when you get on the call you’d have something to say.

2️⃣ STAY CALM IT’S JUST 30 MINUTES

Again, long conversation are not our thing.

Unless the topic shifts to something we are passionate about which is rare.

So time your conversation.

If it’s 30 minutes, prepare yourself to to stay focused those 39 minutes.

3️⃣ EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

Just as life doesn’t, the call won’t go exactly in sync with your plan.

So don’t be taken off guard.

There might be questions or concerns you didn’t expect.

Maintain your cool & be profesh!

You’re not spending your life with them, it doesn’t matter what they’ll think of you if you say something stupid. It’s just a call!

Just say the first thing that comes to your mind.

4️⃣ ZEN BEFORE YOU DIVE IN

So you’ve been talking to people since morning & are so exhausted with all that interaction.

And now you’ve a call in 10 minutes.

We both know that ain’t happening my friend.

Isolate yourself & be recharged for the call like 30-20 minutes ahead.

Your phone might work with 10% battery but your ability to be social won’t. Trust me!

It’ll be a miracle if you get two of these right the first time.

It’ll take practice.
But I know you got this!
