Doing Work vs. Helping Others

When I call prospective clients, I mention their financial situation and say, "I was calling to see if there was anything we can do to assist you." I have had a few experiences already where people have responded favorably, even passionately to my offer for help. Most people want to pay off their credit card debt and/or save their homes from foreclosure, and they are grateful when someone calls to help, rather than to threaten them in an attempt to get payments from them. Every time I hear the gratitude in their voices, I am grateful to be in a position to connect them with our certified debt arbitrators and attorneys, who are more than happy to see what program best meets their needs.
Like anyone, I want to make a decent living for myself and my loved ones. But if I can make a living helping others, my work is more worthwhile.
