2. Change Your Mindset
Time Your Call for Peak
Performance
Knowledge is Power
3. Focus on what you have to gain
Practice to build confidence; go over your
script
Leverage your discomfort into success by
giving yourself a pep talk
Choose your attitude; tone, pitch and
inflection are important
4. Create Momentum
Visualize the outcome you want
Keep your mood upbeat – it’s contagious
Prepare your environment; how can you be
comfortable without distraction
Read through notes from your last successful
call to get fired up and remind yourself how it
felt
5. This is a tough time for the customer
so try and find something to put
them at easy at the beginning of the
call
Charisma can help you succeed
Kindness and humor keeps the call
calm and professional
6. Perfect Timing
Make calls when you have the most
energy – most often in the morning
Focus entirely on the to-do list you’ve
developed
Maintain an even keel to keep you
driving forward
7. Know Your Customer
What time zone is the customer
in?
Think about their business and
what might be their busy time of
the day – avoid it
Look at their website to get a
name to ask for; it holds more
weight than asking for a
department
8. Have all account information at hand
Total debt
What was purchased
Proof of delivery
Previous payment history
Were notices previously sent via e-mail or
regular mail
9. Reaffirm your belief that today is the day!
Roll with the punches – be ready for a little
push back, but stay professional
Smile while you talk – it controls your style
Make them feel valued
10. Believe It!
“Believe it can be done. When
you believe something can be
done, really believe, your mind
will find the ways to do it.
Believing a solution paves the
way to solution.”
― David J. Schwartz, The Magic of Thinking Big
11. Mental Preparation and Creating Momentum
Laugh a Little
Perfect Timing
Know Your Client
Be Prepared then Make the Call
Believe!
