Smile while you dial!
Dialing and smiling is a common term for the practice of cold calling. It generally has a bad rep especially if you are just sitting down for dinner after a hard day at work.
Now we may not think so but our emotions do come through when we are having telephone conversations. The person on the other end can generally get an idea if you are fed up or distracted in anyway. Smiling whilst you dial not only instills trust with the person you are talking to it also brightens up the conversation.
So the next time you reach for the phone remember smile before you dial – it works!
