You know who you need to call. You have a reason to reach out. You've even practiced what to say.
But before you pick up the phone, the conversation has already started in your head.
They'll think I'm bothering them. They'll say they already have an agent. They won't want to hear from me.
Somehow, you've had the entire conversation and decided it went badly, without ever saying hello.
But what are you afraid they'll actually say? And what would those words really tell you?
In this episode of the Double Duty Agent® Podcast, we continue our series on what gets in the way of the results you say you want. After exploring knowledge and skills, we turn to fear: how to separate facts from the stories you add, get specific about rejection, and identify a response you can handle.
You'll learn:
• How imagined conversations can influence your real business decisions.
• Why "we're not buying right now" can become something much more personal in your mind.
• Three questions to help you examine the fear behind reaching out.
• How to respond when a conversation really is uncomfortable.
• A simple experiment to compare your prediction with what actually happens.
• Why recognizing the story can still be difficult, and when support from a coach or therapist may help.
This week's coaching question:
What am I afraid they'll actually say, and what meaning am I adding to those words?
