Isn't prospecting fun! I do enjoy prospecting; the thrill, the chase, and sometimes the win. No one that I have ever called has ever said 'Thank goodness you called, I was just thinking about how I can solve a business problem, and you just might be able to help me.' Without making those calls, creating activity, generating interest, and providing value, then you are going backwards.
I follow James Clear from Atomic Habits and this recent statement from James is so very true:
"A simple recipe for finding opportunities:
1. Be pleasant
2. Ask questions
3. Engage daily.
It's hard for a warm and pleasant person who is asking a lot of questions and engaging in their industry daily to not come across interesting opportunities." James Clear, Atomic Habits.
So please keep this in mind every single day - be pleasant, ask questions and be curious, and keep engaging.
