Reading Time: Postcard (<30 seconds)

My friends in sales will be nodding effusively as I share this statistic: 80% of all sales happen after the 7th touch point.

And yet, 44% of professionals give up after one follow-up. Wait, what?!

Surely this isn't the first time you've heard this. Now obvi if you're reading this email (thank you) you're extra smart and do not fall in the bottom half of follow-uppers. I mean, seriously.

But while it's no wonder most people never reach their goals, I want you to reach your goals!

Quick Tip: Follow up with someone you are convinced would be better off if they said yes to you sooner than later. I've learned silence or a lack of response doesn't always mean "no." It usually means "I'm busy."

Case in point: I've got a purchase on my to do list and if the right salesperson called me, I'd buy. I'm just really freaking busy right now. I'll get it done, but not until this weekend (and I would much prefer to handle the transaction during the work week than sacrifice my weekend downtime, but alas, it is what it is).

There's someone who wants to say yes to you right now. Give them a call!

Then, make sure you achieve all of your goals 2025 and 2026 by getting the complete follow-up system that turns contacts into cash: https://amzn.to/4nRtFdz​

I'll see you tomorrow!

Reading Time: Postcard (<30 seconds) There's a huge difference between struggling professionals and rainmakers. Do you know what it is? ICYMI: Rainmakers have and follow a system. They know exactly who they must meet, when and how and how often to follow up, and to give value (that ultimately gets returned tenfold). You might have heard me say it before, "Success isn't a secret, it's a system." If you don't have a system, even if you're successful, you won't be as successful as you can be....

Reading Time: Postcard (<30 seconds) I used to have a stack of business cards, tons of connections, and zero referrals. Why? Because I didn't intentionally cross The Trust Bridge—you might know this one--it's the journey from "Nice to meet you" to "I trust you enough to refer my best clients and connections." This meant fewer business cards on my desk, more contacts at my fingertips with genuine connections. If you want your inbox to be a hotbed of introductions and "I'm ready to hire you...

Reading Time: Postcard (<30 seconds) Not too long ago I witnessed someone have what can only be described as the adult version of a temper tantrum. And while their irritation may have been justifiable (who's to say?), said tantrum was overheard by someone whose business they were trying to win. It's probably no surprise that the person doing the overhearing immediately said, "Hard pass." Cost of lost business? Oh, I don't know, hundreds of thousands of $$$$ (at least). Oops. Malcolm Gladwell...
