Anyway, I started to think that I'm an amateur actor and that what I really need to do is play the part of a good salesperson. "I'm not a confident, self-assured woman but I play one on tv." I can do that. I'm not an amazing actor, but I have had some leads so I'm sure I can pull this off, at least on the phone.
As I was driving home feeling pretty good about myself I realized that it's just "acting as if" in a different area of my life. I will act as if I will get an interview with every person I talk to. Aha moment.
I think that's a great way to look at it -- very true!!!
