Taking my phone script practice to volunteerism

This afternoon a friend called and asked if I'd do her a favor. "Sure," I said. OOPS. The Happy Valley Unified School District has a bond (Measure E) coming up in Nov. and needed people to help at the phone bank notifying the community and asking for their support. "I do that everyday at work," I thought, "This'll be easy." Once there, I was nervous as I held the phone in my hand not wanting to dial the first number. Others were nervous themselves. I encouraged them along and went for it. And just like when I do my lead generation for my business, I got into a groove. It was ok. The time was up before I knew it. I made about twice as many calls as I do during lead gen time. What's up with that?!

I guess it was the fact that it wasn't for me. It was for the community. I was happy to be able to help, not only for Measure E, but my friends as well. I'm ready to rock-n-roll tomorrow! Look out power hour! Hopefully, this motivation will last through the night.......
