Persuasive Speech : Making Cold Calls

Call waiting is extremely useful when you are waiting for an important call. When taking a call from one person, this feature alerts you if another person is trying to get through.

After I had settled, the first call came through, my phone rang for three times and there was no reaction from the people studying. After some minutes, he called again, and my phone rang for six times, and I did not answer, and the people in the room did not alert me the phone was ringing.

At least she agreed to take me later. I sat on my bed and stared out the window.

Rachel, I agree, much of our fear develops within us. It is challenging to be transparent,

Being prepared never goes out of style. Have an idea of what you want to improve on with each phone call. Everything starts with the first ring. Do not let the phone ring more than three times if possible. When you answer the phone greet them with “Good morning/good afternoon, this is (whomever it is answering) from (the office name) how can I help you today”(1). These phone calls do not have to be person or very long so it is important to make sure that person is happy, only having a short amount of time sets a goal for you to have a good first encounter with them! Make it a point to focus on the caller. Do not be doing things in the background or trying to focus on anything else.

I never thought that I was going to have to give another formal speech, but look where I am this very moment.

Another interesting experience that helped me gain confidence was my speech communications class with my professor, Mrs. Larson. I knew I didn't have any trouble with talking to a group of people. I love to tell jokes and stories to many people at one time, but I was nervous and somewhat embarrassed about preparing some boring speech and making everyone else suffer by listening to it.

I remember something simple she said that stuck in my mind: "The only way to get over the fear of something is to just do it." She was right. As I had to go up to give the speech, her words constantly kept running through my mind. After the speech, I realized that we were all in the same boat suffering from the same seasickness- nervousness, We all had to give speeches. No one was out to criticize anyone else and we all ended up supporting each other! I learned that I could make a "boring" speech interesting if I have fun with it and feel comfortable as the speaker of the moment.
