Ha, I had no choice growing up- my older brother wouldn't make a phone call to save his life, so I was the official phone person. I distinctly recall making a call to inquire about subwoofers at age 10. However- phone's always been easy, in person is another story!
I was also surprised at how much harder it was to talk to people when I was an active. When you're a clueless PNM, it's not as big of a deal. But when you are an active, everything you do & say is being evaluated (or so you think), you have to share information about the chapter without crossing any lines, you have to steer the conversation away from the Bs, you have to get to know the person, form a quick personal rapport... There's just so much that goes into every single aspect of recruitment from the active's point of view.
