Last week someone responded to the newsletter. She’s a fellow marketer, In fact I’m doing a bit of SEO for one of her clients.
She said it was uncanny how I’d pre-empted what she was just about to write in her newsletter. Spooky huh.
Besides the fact that my crystal ball was especially active last week, it’s more that the topic (prospects not making decisions) is so endemic that it affects most of us as far as our business is concerned.
It frustrates the heck out of us because they can’t / won’t / don’t decide to use our service which we KNOW will help them. It’s plain as day you could take them forward. Hey, even if they said “No”, at least you would be further ahead. You could stop wasting time on them.
Yet, many of us are just as guilty when it comes to investing in people who could help us.
Think about it. How many issues do you have in your business where potential service providers have been calling on you but you’ve still not engaged them.
Hmm – my crystal ball is vibrating again. I think I just struck a chord with a few folks.
If you are resisting taking on suppliers, how can you expect people to take you on? Same coin, different sides.
So my pressure-point question this week is.
Choose one company on both sides of your business – one prospect and one supplier – that you know you should be doing business with?
Make it your objective this week to commit to converting one prospect and then investing that revenue into your business with a supplier who will be able to take you forward.
Let me know how you get on.
And for the first person to complete both sides, I’ll give you a gratis 27-point SEAT – Search Engine Assessment Test.That’s normally 147 smackeroos.
So, away you go. Get on the phone.
Now.
What are you waiting for?
