When you know you're good at what you do, but you completely freeze up during interviews and rarely get called back... Does anyone else have this problem?

Saying this respectfully, you aren’t good at what you do if you’re freezing up during prospecting first meetings. Your job is to be great at selling yourself and experts that support you. You’re the front line of the firm you represent.
