    Default i can't strip with these clothes on

    Oh man, I'm so covertly posting from work right now.

    At the moment a big part of my job is calling distributors for the clothing sold by my company (it's all really nice raw silk coats, locally produced). We sent them our line sheets last week so I'm supposed to check on that status, set appointments, etc. I have a HUGE mental block about calling all of these people! Even the ones that the company already has accounts with and like our merchandise!

    I just wish all of these people were drunk and I had no clothes on.

    Heeeelp! I guess when I get home I have to reread the Psychology of Selling. But for now I'll just covertly hang out on SW when I'm supposed to be doing real work.

    Gaaaaah.

    Call the distributors and ask how easily the clothing can be quickly removed and how sturdy it is when vigorously danced in. It'll be amusing. hehehe.

    So why don't you like callng these people? Understanding the reasons is part of the way to solving the problem.

    * Don't you like making telephone calls?
    * Do you find it difficult to talk to people you don't know, even down the phone?
    * Don't you like reporting "no's" to you boss?
    * Is the list of calls a big one and you don't know where to start?
    * Etc

    Are you going to give us any clues about why you find it difficult to make the calls?

    Someone on here might have some suggestions for you.

    Phil.

    I hate sales calls, so I feel for you. I helped a guy distribute an indie film once and spent days on the phone, it was terrible. I have a couple okay sales books I could lend you - but I don't know how applicable they'd be, and honestly I always do better when I'm just myself and don't have all of these ulterior sales-y motives playing in my head.

    Just pick up the phone and dial, seriously, it'll get easier after the first few times. Oh ya, are you at work this week? Oh, and by work I mean dancing naked for drunk guys.
    I'm confused, but the Chewbacca Truffle Shuffle cleared it up. - Emily

    I eventually got over it, it really did just take some practice. Unfortunately no one wanted to make appointments, which is duuuumb. (I totally believe in our product!) By the time my boss got back from a meeting (she was gone when I posted on SW) she complimented me on how smoothly I was making the calls. Yay!

    I think I'm going to start up soon! I will let you know.

    Ah, problem solved.

    Tell you what works for me when I'm making repetive calls like that. I come up with a list of bullet points - call it a script if you like.

    * Hi how are you.
    * Just touching base on the merchandise we sent you.
    * So what do you think?
    * You like so and so? Good - I think we make a good product, glad you agree.
    * Can I interest you in placing some orders?
    * Etc.

    I have it in front of me when I make the call. Makes it easier because I just work down the list and know I'm making all the points that I need to.

    If you can get a bit of personal information out of a contact, make a note of it. Next time you call, you can ask "oh, by the way, how did your daughter do in her exams?" If you come across as friendly it might tip the balance between selling and not selling.

    Phil.
