Hi,

Probably had similar threads before, if so i apologise. I am at the stage where i need to be spending most of my days telemarketing or cold calling for new business instead of relying on existing. I have found the data that i have been looking for but cannot bring myself to lift the phone, not alone there i am sure!

Nerves, fear of rejection, lack of confidence the main issues i expect. I would love to learn to enjoy this art and basically have a laugh at the same time as making nice profits. Has anyone overcome similar fears and if so how? How do i build myself up mentally to proceed and relax (without drink or drugs). I have considered everything from seminars, online courses and even hynotherapy believe it or not, although haven't as yet tried any of these. I simply need to shift my mindset to rid myself of these fears and be confident in calls. Employing a telemarketing agency is a non starter due to the costs involved.

Any practical help or advice would be greatly appreciated as a good confident telemarketer who runs their own business will run a profitable business.

 

Thanks!
