phone calls
On thing I cannot stand is making business type phone calls. for example If I am inquiring about paying a bill or something like that doing those types of calls make me so nervous and i get shaky voiced on the phone and its hard to get my point across. does anyone else have problems with this type of stuff.
yeah that what my dad suggested i do today I had to make four calls two dealing with a hospital bill and the other 2 dealing with school id think i did pretty well. I have gotten alot better and calls in my teenage years and early 20s I could not even call for a pizza.
I too have anxiety over calling strangers on the phone, yet I call family and friends all the time. Eventually I will have to start scheduling my own appointments and whatnot. Luckily there are so many things you can do online nowadays.
Unfortunately, customer service continues to be woefully inaccessible: http://www.dudeimanaspie.com/2010/07/instant-moron-maker-aka-voice.html
I rehearse everything in my head before I make phone calls...I'm apprehensive too.
I struggled with the same challenge for quite a long time when I was much younger. Throughout the years I've adjusted to where I am now much more comfortable with this kind of stuff. In any case, I still prepare an outline consisting of all the points I need to discuss before I follow through with these types of calls.
