Cold Calling and “The Godfather” – See the Resemblance?
“It’s not personal, Sonny. It’s strictly business.” Michael Corleone (played by Al Pacino, in an Oscar-nominated turn) in “The Godfather” “Business” takes many forms. Michael Corleone’s business was certainly unique. Hopefully yours doesn’t resemble his … but hey, if it does, no judgment being passed here. His statement bears consideration, though. Anyone in business knows the importance of relationships. Business can’t help but be personal, right? Wrong. Consider cold calling, and the many qualms people have about the practice. You know what they are. Uncooperative, sometimes rude gatekeepers. Endless voicemails. Being told not to call again. Getting hung up on. Maybe even being yelled at. Ouch. They all sound pretty unpleasant. One’s feelings, and ego, can certainly … [Read more...]

After all, everyone around is staring and thinking, “Why is that person eating by themselves? Don’t they have any friends?” Actually, not really. No one cares. If they do, they have WAY too much time on their hands. We just think this way because, well, dining alone feels weird. OK, here’s an easy solution: Next time you’re in this spot, why not walk up to the nearest table of diners, introduce yourself, and take a seat? Say it out loud: Are you &%*$# kidding? No one would do this. If they did, they would automatically receive the CCC Blue Badge of Courage (awarded to a remarkably small number of recipients, by the way … and if you’re wondering … [Read more...]
