That pause before you pick up the phone? Every agent knows it. Top producers included. Call reluctance is one of the most expensive things in this business, and almost nobody talks about it honestly. Here’s what nobody tells you: getting past it has nothing to do with becoming fearless. You build comfort through reps, the… Read more »
