You just started your first network marketing business. You love the company and the products. You know early on that you want to build a team, but where do you start?

If you would rather walk your dog in a blizzard rather than pick up the phone and call someone, please read on.

Here are 5 tips to help you overcome “Phone Phobia”

1. Write a script - You may want to write this in your own words or use a prewritten script. Lots of companies have prewritten scripts to use. It’s whatever you feel most comfortable with. Practice! Practice! Practice!

2. Role play- Call a friend. Pretend they are a potential business partner. Let them critique you. If it’s a friend, you will welcome the criticism. Practice! Practice! Practice!

3. Know your stuff- If you are a newbie to network marketing, you may have a fear of the unknown.. It’s ok. You won’t know everything, especially in the beginning. Study the company and learn your products. When you gain that confidence, you will look forward to making that call.

4. Don’t take NO personally- You will hear this many times in your network marketing career. If you learn early on, not to take the word NO personally, you will be ahead of the game. Move on. There are lots of fish in the sea. The next person may just say yes!

5. Call when you’re feeling your best- You may be a morning person. If you find yourself more productive in the early hours, this is the best time to make those calls. Don’t wait until you have lost your pep and are ready for a nap. If you are at your best, you will feel better about making that call.

Use these tips daily. You’ll find your phone phobia gone in no time.
