I work in marketing and one of our salespeople recently left the company. I’ve subsequently assumed some of his responsibilities, calling and qualifying incoming leads.
Picking up the phone to contact prospects has been educational, in that the higher my call output, the more people want to buy our product. Perhaps this is unsurprising.
However, in the same way, life can and should be regarded as a numbers game. Throw enough shit at the wall, and some of it will stick. Sure, doing the right thing helps, but when starting out, don’t get distracted.
Pick a beneficial activity and put in the reps by doing it daily. The more you do, the better you’ll get and the greater success you’ll see.
