It may be a big issue or it may be something miniscule, but at some point it usually happens. Customer frustrations can arise from any one of a number of things.

If the very mention of “Public Speaking” causes you to hurl, that’s OK. It’s a perfectly natural response. A Gallup poll ranks our fear of speaking in front of people as 2nd only to our fear of SNAKES. You’ve all heard the tip: overcome your fear of speaking by picturing the audience naked. Yikes.
