How To Find The Time To Prospect (Even When You're Too Busy)!

Posted February 10, 2016

Timing

Sales, for many of us, is a balancing act between several activities;

Prospecting

Retaining and “Wowing” Clients

Growing and Developing Clients

Oh, and let’s not forget about all the admin activities we need to do to support the other activities.

Needless to say, it can become really challenging to squeeze all of these things in and stick to a regular prospecting schedule.

There are several things you can do, but today, I want to focus on just one that pays multiple dividends.

Presenting Uncle Paul’s “222” Formula

Everyday,  BEFORE “game time” send 2 emails, to two potential clients.

Everyday, BEFORE “game time” send 2 pieces of “snail mail”, a Fed Ex etc to two potential clients.

Everyday, DURING “game time” make 2 calls, to two potential clients.

That wouldn’t take you long to do, right?

Before I tell you how you’ll benefit from this, let’s both agree that this is the bare minimum you’ll do everyday. We also need to agree that if you want to be a sales rock star, you’re going to have to do much more.

Having said that, if you commit to this minimum, at the end of a year, you’ll have 1,440 more “touches” than you do now and;

Unless you’re telling people to kiss your a$$ in those touches, a few more doors are going to be opened and;

You’ll have given yourself the gift of working on your prospecting muscles EVERYDAY!

My guess, is that you aren’t doing that now?

I’m also guessing that you get this sh*tty feeling like you aren’t doing what you’re supposed to be doing?

Well this is going to help.

Oh, and you’ll start each day feeling AWESOME because BEFORE the day even started, you’ve emailed and snail mailed your potential clients . . .

While your competitors are hitting the snooze button on their alarm clock!

We talk about finding the time to prospect during our  Prospect Like A Pro online course in Session 1.

Why?

Because the 100+ tactics I share during the program will be useless to you if you don’t have the time to do them!

Have you downloaded the course yet?

If not, here’s what you’ll discover once you enroll . . .

  • How To Triple The Amount Of Referrals You’re Getting And Get More Warm Introductions
  • How To Find Buyers Who Are 400% More Likely To Buy NOW
  • 6 Places To Look For Business That You’re Missing Right Now
  • How To Create A Communication Plan That Gets Your Prospect’s Attention
  • How To Replace “Gatekeepers” With Willing Assistants
  • How To Create A More Compelling/Objection Resistant Opening Statement
  • How To Engage Your Prospect In A Conversation Instead Of A “Pitch”
  • How To Handle Typical Objections To Get MORE Appointments

Here’s what one of our recent graduates had to say about the program;

“Every session during this course I took away something that I was able to apply that SAME day.  I took the tips and started getting through, or using gatekeepers to my advantage, got my voicemails returned and  while using the reverse call to action, actually had customers apologizing to ME for missing MY call.  By the end of every week, I’d have the recording to go back and listen to again, or at a convenient time for me, so it was easy to keep up week to week.  Lastly, you feel like you are the only one of Paul’s students.  He does a perfect job of welcoming your questions, encourages you to send him things that you are working on and will give you feedback, and lastly is such a cheerleader for his students.  We all know that sales people have a high need for approval, and you WILL get it from Paul.  As well as a kick in the you-know-what when necessary.  if you e-mail Paul that you tried something new, you will get an e-mail back saying Great job and that’s sometimes all we need to keep on going and to try even harder.  Invest in YOU, and you will quickly see the monetary return.”
