Man, Cold Calling Sucks... or I have a Vacuum for an Attitude!

Today is "Hump Day" and my energy level is real low... I made it into the office about 2 hours late. Our sales meeting (cancelled on Tuesday) was conducted rather impromptuilly (look what I am doing with my vocabulary Mom) this morning... in my absence. I got an email midway through the meeting- Subject line: sales meeting is happening. Body: (fyi)

With all my might I mustered, "I didnt know" for a response. So that is how it is going to be today...

You never know who will be sent to you in your time of need and today Sheetal Holaeyvar wins the award for "Best Supporting Person who made me feel better even though I was working with a Kirby Industrial Strength attitude... and probably other stuff".

Here is the note she dropped me this morning-

"Hi Ed, How are you doing? Just thought of catching up since it has been a long time we exchanged mails. I am also waiting to see some new blogs!!! :)"

Cheers, Sheethal

Someone is always watching, listening and waiting for your voice and if You allow Your attitude to prevent You from sharing it then You may miss a chance to impact a life.

Sheetal did not pass up the chance to impact a life today.

Who has impacted your life recently and what are you doing to impact others?

Cold calling is a medium I use to reach people and create business interactions but it is also a sort of personal quest to spread a philosophy- People do business with People because People do life with People.

That came from somewhere deep... maybe a book I read or something but it is how I feel so replace the title topic with your own words ("Cold Calling Sucks") and then reverse it, flip it and don't go back. "Have to go forward to go back, better press on." -Willy Wonka
