From staring at the ceiling to needing a sales team...
|
If you’ve got more qualified sales calls than you can handle, you can skip this one. But if you’re staring at the ceiling wondering where the next lead will come from… Let me show you what we’re doing. You see, most business owners stare at the ceiling fan instead of getting a good night’s rest… Wondering where their next lead will come from. Heck, that used to be me for years. But now I’ve found myself overwhelmed with qualified calls to the point that I’ve had to build a small team to manage our CRM and outbound sales. Here’s what we’re doing on a daily basis (so you can get the same results):

Now don't get me wrong... You don't need all 17 of these bad boys, that'd be a nightmare. You need one good offer and enough conversations. And I wish someone had beaten this lesson into my thick skull years ago, because I spent an embarrassing amount of time building websites, tweaking funnels, and playing with shiny new tools when the only thing my business needed was more customers. Here's the funny thing about learning how to consistently generate sales opportunities. It changes your entire relationship with your business. And believe me, there's something beautiful about going to bed at night without that familiar knot in your stomach, wondering where the hell your next customer is going to come from. Especially when you remember how many nights you spent staring at that dang ceiling fan. Ciao, Parker |

I have a business partner, employees etc, and I'm aware there are a lot more people making a lot more money than this. So if you think this is a flex it's not. But what's interesting is that this is recurring revenue, not some launch cycle where you cash in and stay broke for the next 3 months. However... What’s more interesting is the rate of growth the cold email agency is seeing:...
Could you spend a night in jail with your business partner? Weird question, I know. But a quote I read in a Tim Ferriss book has me asking it about pretty much everyone I work with. In it, Tim’s investing mentor dropped an unexpected answer to one of the most frequently asked questions. First, the question: “How do you find the right people to partner with?” Now, his mentor’s answer: “The best people I’ve partnered with and invested with are people I could see myself spending a night in jail...
If you’re feeling stuck, then read this short story from Michael Masterson’s Ready, Fire, Aim: “Years ago, when The Boston Beer Co. was just getting up and running, I received a phone call from my uncle, a partner at Goldman Sachs and one of my initial financial backers. He asked me how things were going. Fine, I replied; the first batch of Samuel Adams beer was aging in tanks and would be ready for delivery in about five weeks. ‘So,’ my uncle continued, ‘what did you do today?’ I told him...
