The 3 Minute A Day Prospecting Workout

Posted September 19, 2016

Click here noseyWant to dramatically increase your phone chops?

Want to do it in a way that you aren’t losing actual selling time?

Consider this super simple exercise.

At the start of your day, call your voicemail and leave yourself a message.

This message could be the actual opening statement you use when calling a prospect.

An actual voicemail

Perhaps some talking points for a specific call you have coming up

Keep it 30 seconds or less.

Do the same thing at the end of your day.

Total time spent so far: 60 seconds

At some point during your day, take 1 minute to evaluate your voicemail.

Pretend you are the person receiving that call.

Make a few quick “notes to self” on what you’ll do differently tomorrow.

Spend no more than 1 minute per call.

Total time spent: 3 minutes.

Rinse and repeat for the rest of your career you humble student you!

The Funny Thing About 3 Minutes A Day

It adds up!

1 week = 15 minutes of practice

1 Month = 1 hour of practice

1 Year = 1 1/2 days of practice and . . .

1 1/2 days more than both you and your competitor are doing right now!

I have serious question for you . . .
