On Planning/Lists: Write it down to make it happen. If you do – you’ll crush it. If you don’t – you’ll mush it! (Mush = Flunk)
On Execution: Hold yourself accountable to your daily plan – if you are deadly serious about succeeding!
On Strategy: Don’t do the same thing all day. Make it interesting and attack the problem from a variety of angles – ad calls, lead calls, reference calls, MPS, research calls, Skype, visits.
On Tactics: Set yourself up for success by planning/executing three 90 minute call blocks, daily. (20 mins planning, 70 minutes calling,) Challenge yourself/others to beat your “connects” record!
On Business: People buy from people they like – and, people their friends like! (Referrals) Be awesome! Look for leads, introductions and advice from everyone!
On Confidence: Make a few easy calls to people you know, or have placed or submitted and just ask them, “How ya doing?” It will put you in the right frame of mind for the harder stuff.
On Objections: Most candidates and clients will object at first. “I’m not looking”; “We don’t use agencies,” etc. Expect objections – and become a master at handling them. Those are the people worth talking to.
On Tenacity: To paraphrase Arnold, “To be the best – you gotta do the reps.” Nuff said!
On Discipline: Do the stuff that everyone else avoids. Every day. That’s where the real action is. (50 ad calls or MPC’s anyone?)
