4. Constant Phone Calls
“Excuse me, this is business and I simply have to take it. So sorry if this seems rude. Business never stops, as they say.” That is all you need to know. Memorize that speech now and make it so you do get calls at dinners and parties and ALWAYS take them, but always announce to the entire room how important it is and how sorry you are.
You will run off and the people around you will just assume you must be closing in on some big deal, because who else would act like that much of a butt during a meal out in public? Another key to this one is walking back to the table smiling, saying “crisis averted.” If anyone asks what it was, just make some fancy stuff up. They will eat it up.
