First Cold Call- Almost SHAT! Myself Literally
- Thread starter akamafia2009
- Start date
haha don't worry man. everybody learns from there mistakes, so you should never run; it's only a learning opportunity. I'm 19 myself, and I actually tried cold calling before I knew what it was called "cold calling." And I was just as nervous as you were. The only difference was that I took a chance and learned from them... Because I knew that if I focused on gaining experience with clients, I would eventually get one, and it happened.
My mom was just telling me about a week or two ago that one of the most famous fears in the world were speaking to strangers and speaking to a group of people (speaking to a group of people was, and still is, #1). Then a few days ago, my uncle told me the same thing, and that the problem was simply what you believed in (your fears and cautiousness--those kind of things). I believe them too, because I even watched a video a month ago about why people fear life and death, plus another video by 50 cent and Tyler the Creator, where they basically said they never gave up in believing in what they were pursuing (being the best rapper, and escaping poverty--stuff like that).
So my point is that you just need do the best you can with every chance you get, and with those chances, you need to believe in yourself no matter what your conscience (aka your "body") tells you. You're conscience is your friend, but it's also your enemy, if you allow it to be that.
