As telephone and digital companies continue to grow through mergers and acquisitions, network (''net'') neutrality, has become a contested area of law in the United States. Contoversial statements from Telco officials, as telephone networks appear to monopolize, has fueled the fire of independent Internet giants, such as Google, eBay, and Amazon, who fear that network owners will create a biased, two-tier Internet system, unfairly placing the telco services first, above all others. In addition, there is concern that network owners may seek to entirely censor or block content at their own discretion, thus creating an imbalance of partialit
Well, don't feel too bad because there are many entrepreneurs that used to stand in the very same shoes that you now wear. Phone fear is something that stops a great deal of would be business owners in their tracks, but it can be eliminated if you take the time to truly evaluate a few critical elements.
However, before we do that, we need to establish that your ability to make phone calls is vitally important to your business. Would you agree with that assessment? There are very few businesses, small or large, that can operate efficiently without the use of a telephone.
With that said, the two critical elements that need to be addressed in order for you to overcome your fear of the phone is "your attitude" and the actual "phone" itself. Let's talk about the phone first.
Are you really afraid of the phone? Does the phone have the ability to chase you, hurt you, yell at you? Those may seem like silly questions but that brings home the point. We already know that the phone is unable to hurt you.
In fact, you would have to be in some pretty awkward situations to get hurt by a phone. On the other hand, there are some pieces of required equipment that can hurt you if you aren't extremely careful with them, such as guns, chain saws, and high powered tools, just to name a few.
Does a telephone fall into the category of a dangerous piece of equipment? The simple answer is: no. Based on the example given, most people would agree that there is no logical reason to be afraid of the phone. Besides, the same fear that you might feel when calling a business contact or prospect is immediately erased if you call a friend or family member, and you probably didn't have to switch phones to develop that new found bravery? Therefore, it is obvious that there is no real reason to fear using a phone.
That brings us to the nitty-gritty of why you are afraid of the phone. You are more than likely afraid of the person that might answer the phone, and what he or she might say to you. In other words, your true fear has nothing to do with the phone but with people.

In the last few years, homes have became increasingly owned by single homeowners. Many single people are realizing that there are many benefits to owning a home that aren't just for married couples.Single homebuyers face unique challenges in buying. They have to compete with dual-income households, which can be tough when the market is hot and competition is fierce.But whether you are single or married, some real estate basics hold true. For example, the biggest decision factor for both continues to be the old and true -- location, location, location. The neighborhood, price, and closeness to work, school, family and friends are i

Did you hear the news?Gene Simmons is buying a comic book company.First some background, if you don't know who Gene Simmons is.This high profile guy became Mega popular (and still is to some) as one of the founding fathers of the painted-face rock band, Kiss.Those ghouly boys knew exactly what they were doing back in the 70s. They weren't just any old rock band. Their shows were entertaining as heck through and through. And Gene was the ring leader. Shooting fire out of his mouth and so on. And I'm not even a Kiss fan. I'm more a fan of this marketing genius than anything.And that brings us to pres

You are in business for yourself, but how well do you know your customers and community? A good way to become better at understanding your community is to develop spread sheet databases of service clubs in your town with contact names, phone numbers, email addresses and brief descriptions. You should know all of the Volunteer Support / Service Clubs in your town. You will find sample letters in your Microsoft Word and Excel programs to make your job of creating these databases quite easy. You’ll also find a list of service clubs at your local chamber of commerce and you can build your database from there. You will also find information in the n

Here are a few things that you should consider in order to be successful using the phone.
1. Your Attitude: If you can honestly admit that learning how to use the phone is not in your immediate future, then you probably need to find another way to make money. In realistic terms, you truly have to develop the attitude that I'm going to get over this phone issue, or you will have a tremendous struggle to succeed in your business. It all begins with you and a positive attitude.
2. Practice: We all know that confidence can erase fear in many situations and a good way to build confidence is to practice. You can practice what you want to say to specific kinds of people via the phone, and polish these skills until they become second nature. Try picking up the phone and pretending to actually speak with someone on the other end. Do that 5-10 times per day and you will be surprised at what it does for your overall confidence and phone skills. While practicing, you can also employ small, but proven, techniques such as looking into a mirror, smiling, and considering that the person on the other end of the phone is a friendly person.
3. Grow Thicker Skin: Learn to take a 'no' from someone and move on. There is a great story about two guys passing out free books inside an airport terminal and one of them stops a guy who is clearly running for his plane. He has his ticket in his teeth, coat over his shoulder and luggage in his hands. One of the young men politely stepped in front of this gentleman and commences to give him an unwanted presentation on the free book and its importance.
Well, the man became very irate and proceeded to verbally rip this young man to pieces. A professional salesman was watching this exchange and was waiting for the young man to turn to his partner and say "Hey, I need a break after that one." Instead, after the man finished yelling and stormed off, he immediately spun around and stopped the very next person walking by, without even thinking about it twice. That's what it means to "grow thicker skin" and ultimately what it means to be successful in many instances.
It's the learned skill and ability to separate the business side from the personal side and to keep charging ahead.
So, the next time you are sitting there pondering whether or not you should pick up the phone, just do it. Put a smile on your face, punch in the numbers, and dial f
