I happen to love talking with clients, both old and new, on the phone. But I was reminded that’s not true for every freelance writer when I read CalalystBlogger Jennifer’s post called: The Freelancer’s Guide to Giving Good Phone

Jennifer doesn’t really like the phone, but she’s figured out what she needs to do to use it effectively. It’s a great list and it’s all easy to do. The only thing I’d add is, when you’re going to make an important call, stand up to do it. Just standing up while you talk will infuse you with more energy. Oh heck, there’s one more trick, and that’s smile… not all the time, but when it’s appropriate. Phone pros actually put a mirror in front of them while they are making calls because they know their facial expressions influence how they sound.
