I have been reorganizing my leads (had them in a binder which wasn't all that useful, now I have them all in a 4x6 plastic snap top box with divider cards for the months and days... better system). Now it is time for me to start calling people like crazy to let them know about the fall specials and get shows set up. But I find some of the names I come across, I just can't bring myself to call. For instance, I just did a catalog show for an old high school friend. We've stayed mildly in touch (holiday cards, the very occasional email). So her mom, her sister, and another former HS friend who I have no connection with anymore all bought. I sent extra SBs for her mom and sister. Regardless, I feel awkward calling all these people b/c there is a social connection but it is a weak social connection and I hate that they may feel obligated. I also have a longer list of people who live close to my mom and sisters who bought when I did shows for them last winter... I'm headed out that way in a few weeks and would love to do a show out there but that phone weighs 3000 pounds when I make those calls.
So how do I get over the fear of calling the non-stranger?
