Also, a former co-worker told me when attending a networking event of taking a class go alone. You will be forced to go outside of your comfort zone and meet others.Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-84568963418802003592013-01-27T18:28:11.483-06:002013-01-27T18:28:11.483-06:00Carli Alice,

Prior to this blog I remember making only one cold call - I called a purchasing manager at a major company in the area and asked if he would speak at my professional organization. I almost fell off my chair, first when he actually answered the phone and second when he said yes. You are correct they aren't rejecting you - just your proposal - which sometimes just didn't come at the right time.<br /><br />Interesting that you miss it though. Now that I am no longer program chair I don't miss booking the speakers one bit.Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-33205563655922522013-01-26T09:06:08.355-06:002013-01-26T09:06:08.355-06:00I am loving this post and am your newest follower/...I am loving this post and am your newest follower//fan! I love the Classy Career Girl blog, but I've never paid much attention to her challenges. I think your project is fabulous, and I'm going to actually try and do it. Stopping by from SITS, and I'd love for you to stop by and say hi if you get the chance. Looking forward to your updates!<br /><br />xo,<br />Steph<br />Diary of a Debutante<br /><a rel="nofollow">www.stephanieziajka.blogspot.com</a>Diary of a Debutantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005984961578458811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-1894625287753584662013-01-26T08:38:48.768-06:002013-01-26T08:38:48.768-06:00I am one of the least courageous people you will e...I am one of the least courageous people you will ever meet. I go through life everyday stressing about social interactions. I'm much better when I'm all alone, but of course, I can't live my life tucked away like a hermit. I need to work on that fear.

And not just any cold calling but to CEOs to major companies such as J&J as well as to many highly influential political folks. And I was highly successful. Most likely the reason I was at the company for so long (I decided to leave). Why was I good at it? Because I was comfortable with it and I didn't catpre about the rejection. Since it was cold calling (or in your case emailing) I reminded myself that I wasn't going to bump into them at Walmart over the weekend. They don't know me, therefore they aren't rejecting me. <br /><br />Truth: I miss the calls. Weird. I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
