Advertising Myself (Brand Me)

The Cold Call

Part of my job is the “cold call.” The idea of cold-calling, for many (including me), can sometimes create anxiety and fear and nervousness. We consult our cold-call tactics and techniques. We lock ourselves in a small conference room and pull the shades down.… Continue Reading “The Cold Call”
