I appreciate you're still feeling nervous about making calls - you fear that people will tell you to go away because you're after something or money etc. Keep going - it will help, because they will become routine. Hang in there and well done. Xx

Fantastic week Ali. You certainly have been lucky with that break from Print IT Awards. Just bear in mind that, after this week, you will not have that to fall back on, so don't rest on your laurels. Good job, though. Proud of you.. Xx

What a busy week I had last week. There were LOTS of phone calls and a few of them were event to people I had not contacted before. I have the Print IT Awards to thank for that. Neil and Ethan have tasked me with contacting some Develop Dealers (some of whom I do know) to offer them the opportunity to enter into the Print IT Awards and I will write their entry text. I also spoke to a few other dealers who I have been working with, already, but that still counts in my book.
So, here's how I fared:
How many calls out have I made in the last week? Over 10
How many people did I get to speak to? In excess of 10
Did I get any business from them? Yes
What percentage did I score / achieve? 90%
Pass? Yes

Well done Ali. This is such great news. I know you found it tough to start with but, once you got on a roll, you flew through your calls and some were successful. That's excellent progress. Keep it up. Proud of you. Xx

A busy week with quite a lot of on-going work piling up now. I did make quite a few calls and have had some success with the Kingswood Media Print IT Awards in terms of Neil Trim, the Publisher, said that I could actively fill in the entries for Dealers in the less than £5m category, as I wouldn't be judging that one. Need to crack on with talking to the dealers now.
So, here is my achievement for the week:
How many calls out have I made in the last week? 13
How many people did I get to speak to? 9
Did I get any business from them? Yes a mix of Industry and On-going business
What percentage did I score / achieve? 90%
Pass? Yes

Aw, I'm so proud of you. I know you're finding this really tough but just remember that people do like to chat and talk about themselves, they appreciate that you are making a living and they also like to know that you're thinking of them. Keep going.

With the help of my calming "Inner Voice" referee, I have actually managed to have a better week and have spoken to people rather than email them. I'm still scared of making the calls but when I speak to Terry about it he makes it sound easy and I'm motivated again - great, until I come to make the calls and them I just freeze. Today, though, I have overcome the fear and have called people so I feel good about that.
Score for the Week:
How many calls out have I made in the last week?7 Calls
How many people did I get to speak to? 7
Did I get any business from them? Yes, but low paid jobs
What did I score / achieve: 70%
Pass? Yes
