    Outsourcing Tech Support Overseas: I Can't Hear You
    Let’s get one thing straight; I’m not prejudice or racist. But I have trouble understanding certain cultures that have strong accents. In an attempt to keep costs down, many computer hardware and software firms have redirected their support to India and other Asian natio
    Let me be the first to admit I’m dragging my derriere this morning with respect to cold calling.

    For my benefit, and of course for yours, let’s analyze this little funk before I hit the phone.

    There are 5 distractions bogging me down, and they can get in anybody's way.

    (1) I’m coming off a really nice weekend. Yesterday I took a long hike at and around the beach, swam, worked out with weights, and did some karate. My knee feels the strain, and the rest of me is dragging, too.

    SOLUTION: Pick up the dumbbells next to me and get the blood pumping. Be right back…

    DONE! Yep, I feel better. I topped off my 40 rep set of curls with 40 Soloflex machine reps. I’m pumped!

    You may not have exercise equipment at your desk, but maybe you can get some, at least a few light dumbbells. Keep them in your drawer. What I just did took half or less the time of a coffee break and it changed my mood for the better.

    (2) I haven’t started my calls because MY LIST SUCKS. It is incomplete and not prioritized. I should have done today’s call planning yesterday. Shame on me, but once I get started I’ll find my niches.

    (3) I’m WAITING for some calls to come in. This is really stupid, because of course, they may not come in at all and I’ll twiddle away my time for nothing. Moreover, the positive results I’m waiting to hear may not turn out that way. If this happens, AND I’ve been idle, I’ll feel morose. Better to get on the stick and to MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN, NOW!

    (4) I’m speculating about what some of my known prospects, my follow-ups will say. What an incredible waste this is. First, whether I’m right or wrong, who cares? Why pay the price of their reaction, twice? Just call them, for gosh sakes, and end the mystery.
