It was almost 6 years ago that I was considering a specific CRM for my business.
I had a nice chat with the sale rep.
Exchanged a few emails and then . . .
I went “M.I.A.”!
I got caught up in a few things, and this was no longer a priority . . . at that moment.
The rep kept calling, emailing etc and I was basically an ass because I didn’t respond.
I didn’t do it intentionally, I just got caught up.
She didn’t get aggressive or annoyed with me.
She didn’t threaten to “close the file” (hate that one by the way) To me, that’s about as effective as saying “I know you are, but what am I” after someone gives you the finger.
And she didn’t pull the old “resend the email from the sent file” thing! (the non verbal equivalent of saying “Hey dumb ass, how about a response?)
She did something better . . .
She sent me an email with the following subject line . . .
“How Should We Proceed Paul?” Note: I’m a big fan of using the recipient’s name in the subject line! Are you doing that?
Then she gently reminded me, about the objectives I originally shared with her, and the progress we had made.
She concluded, by asking me how we should proceed.
Short, sweet,elegant, and it made me get back to her and sign the deal!
Assignment . . .

You have something that was thought out;
When you didn’t have any emotions, or ego influencing your communication.

Here’s what you’ll gain by joining us . . .

How to get the right players to your meetings… my definition of the “right players” might surprise you.
