anxiety when dealing with mean sellers

[Tamara Troutt]

How do you all deal with people who are mean on the phone? This is the anxiety inducing part of cold calling. One lady started yelling at me and wouldn't let me talk. How can I get myself out there if people will not listen, and also avoid a verbal beatdown?

[Peter Tverdov]

In one ear and out the other. I have dealt with (usually older folks) yelling at me and basically lecturing me to the point I literally could not get one word in. I hung up while they're in mid-sentence, crossed them off the list and moved on. Life is too short to absorb some jerks negative energy. Just keep shooting, that happens like 1/100 times.
