Module 3 · Calls, follow-ups and offers Lesson 7 of 15

Phone and video setup that does not cost you the round

Worked example

Joining a video call from a moving bus with a blurred camera loses the round before the first question. Joining from a still room with earphones does not cost anything and is entirely within your control.

Your practice task

Run one full mock call with a friend on the same device you will use, and fix every problem you find in advance.

Do this before moving on. Reading a solution teaches the shape of it; typing it teaches you.

Key takeaway

Find a quiet place, charge the phone, keep notes on one page where you can glance at them, and turn off notifications. Two minutes of preparation removes ninety percent of the reasons a call goes badly.
