But it's more of an inverse relationship for me on Mondays: I'm the dude trying to "keep" people on the phone for various reasons, notably trying to explain my business(es) and how it can help them. Sometimes I wish people just had a few more seconds to listen...but most people aren't patient and run away from the sight of change. Thanks, Gina. Yeah, I know what you mean.

I just spent close to an hour on the phone with a client (and about 5 minutes reading this article :) ... We got a lot accomplished, but I felt as thought it could have been done in 15-20 minutes. I like to talk a lot and so does my client, so it's a horrible combination. As an entrepreneur with a limited amount of hours in the day/week, I think following your "positive action verbs" suggestion is a wonderful idea. Great advice.
