Only call people you can add value to. Before you call ask yourself \u201ccan I add value to this person?\u201d if the answer is \u201cyes\u201d then you should not view yourself as bugging that person. Imagine to yourself before you make the call someone looking through the yellow pages or searching on the internet, asking their friends if they know a sales training coach or business coach\u2026.then your call comes to their rescue.<\/p>\n<h3>Get Clear on Your Payoff You Get For Not Making The Calls Required to Grow Your Business Coaching or Sales Training Coaching Practice<\/h3>\n<p>If you still feel like you are bugging people.

To Get Yourself to Make Calls to Build Your Sales Training Coaching or Business Coaching Practice You Must Change What You Tell Yourself<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve had a hard time with overcoming call reluctance for a long period of time you may need to change what you tell yourself. Change BEGINS with what you tell yourself.<\/p>\n<p>You can change what you tell yourself from &#8220;I hate the phone&#8221; or &#8220;I never make my calls&#8221; to &#8220;I LOVE the phone&#8221;, &#8220;the PHONE is the fastest, easiest way to GROW my sales training coaching or business coaching practice&#8221; or &#8220;my next PHONE call will MAKE me $1,000&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When you make calls to grow your business coaching practice you are going to hear \u201cno\u201d and sometimes it won\u2019t feel good to hear \u201cNO\u201d.
