Here is this Tuesday’s Phone Sourcing Tip. It is also listed in the ASK Maureen group on ERE.

I hope you’ll join and contribute to our discussion!

If you’re phone sourcing the way I want you to phone source, everything you’re hearing on the phone is going into your research document at the time you’re hearing it! That clickety-clack of the keyboard can stop some Gatekeepers from “sharing” with you. You don’t want that to happen.

I recommend you use a silent keyboard if yours is too noisy. Mine are rubbery and last about six months before the key symbols wear off. You can get one under $50. Here’s the one I have at present. It cost $17 plus shipping. An added benefit of this one is that it lights up.

This is an on-going series regarding phone sourcing.Here’s part I, part II, part III, part IV, part V, and part VI, and the full, original post is on ERE.net.

Subsequent portions will appear weekly.
