Cold Calling!

Cold Calling! My stuttering worsened during my college years. After graduating from college, I had joined a media company as a junior executive. It was a decent job but the only part I used to hate was make sales/recovery calls to the clients. My boss knew that I had stutter issues but then he still used to give me the responsibility of calling clients each day. I hated him for that. I suffered a lot for months. Everytime I made a call, I used to sweat as if I came back from a workout. It has been 2 years since then and I can say that after stuttering and talking through this entire episode, hundreds of calls later, I am in a much better position then I was since I first joined. It was a slow process but looks like calling up random people really helped cure my stuttering to a considerable extent.
