One a Day
Most people are willing to help you out, if you ask. See we all go about our business not really paying too much (if any at all) attention to others around us. “Everybody else” just isn’t on your mind, until someone approaches you.
And that is when people take notice. It’s a good idea to keep in touch with the people you know through:
- Phone call
- Newsletter
- Postcard
- Visit
- Thank you notes
- Christmas (or other holiday) cards
But it’s the personal ways we can communicate that allow us to approach people, primarily:
- Networking opportunities (speaking, dinners, etc)
- Drop by their business
- Personal email
- Phone call
The personal approach allows us to specifically ask someone for their help, like asking for a lead.
What if you called up one customer each day to ask for a lead? Better yet, what if you went to that person’s business to see how they use your video services and then asked for one lead? You’d have 250 new leads a year.
