Be Sensitive on Those Phone Calls

The phone is a great tool in seeking appointments, updating people, and encouraging people. It's just a terrific tool. As you place that call, be sensitive to the person you are calling. There will be times when your call happens to come at a bad time. The person receiving you call might be extremely busy or totally preoccupied. Be sensitive and you might simply say, "I sense this is not a good time to talk. When should we talk again?" Being sensitive will get you a lot closer to your goal of communicating to your prospects and donors as you raise personal support or do fund raising for your organization.
