I'm a Bundle of Nerves!

ULP! Now I know why I didn't want to be a salesman when I was younger! I've been spending my morning making sales calls, and man, I SUCK at this! My carefully planned out scripts fly right out of my head as soon as the person I want to talk to answers the phone! I start stuttering, and saying things backwards... I'm sure the person on the other end must think I'm a complete basket case! And yet, this seems to be my only hope for a steady source of passive income! My electronics expertise gets me sporadic work at best and my graphic design company is going nowhere due to a lack of need up here. There are over 25 graphic designers in my small city which means that the 5 printers here have a lot of sources to choose from, IF they decide to use an outside source... they ALL have their own in-house designers who are not even getting full hours as it is!

Ok, I'll stop whining now! It's time to make another call!

I find it easier if I write out what I need to say on the phone. Then it gets easier and easier to ad lib the more calls you make.
Good luck
