The biggest issue I see with entrepreneurs is the expectation of hope on a sales call.
Aside from the fact, there is a strategic flow to a sales call you should feel the same way you do on a blind date. If this doesn't go right I am not dating this dude.
Yes, you should pre-screen but the ultimate screening happens on the call. Women who go into it knowing they can say no, show up with a different level of confidence.
Raise your expectation. They could say BUT
YOU COULD SAY NO TOO!
