The Action Drought.. and it’s side effects
I thought today about completely redoing my blog because I wanted to it to be fresh and consistent with the 10X motto. Massive Action & Goals + Persistence = Success.
I fell off track for a much different reason this time around. My business partner and I are moving into a different direction with the business to improve our income.
Which is great..
One problem, my usual massive action prospecting has ceased since we’re hiring someone full-time to take that responsibility. I’ll be focusing on sales entirely.
I’m relearning the Sandler method of selling and ditching Grant Cardone’s method. Frankly the Cardone U method of sales is overused in internet marketing. I’m have strictly phone conversations now and I need a very good sales system instead of brutal closes.
Don’t get me wrong, brutal closes work very well in person when you’re able to use your body language to steer the sale. I now need to work on discovering my tone and using it effectively. I’m going to be very good at this. I’m really looking to crushing it in sale exclusively, but like anyone I have my doubts.
However, the biggest issue I’ve had in the last month is that since we’re training someone to handle the prospecting side of things… I’m not taking the amount of action that I would normally be taking. Constantly sending emails, facebook messages and following up kept me really focused.
2 weeks went by of not doing that and I re downloaded HotS and have been winning 75% of my games. Pretty much anything that I do I get really good at rather quickly as long as it’s not handy work. I don’t have the patience for that kind of busy work.
I just emailed battle.net to delete my account. I was extra vulgar during games to hopefully get reported. I’m addicted to video games. But why?
Because I can win most of the time. In reality I need to learn that I’m addicted to winning. I need to focus on perfecting my sales technique so I can be addicted to winning sales on the phone.
I’ll still have my lead generation website network up, but I’ll really try to limit how much time I spend on that. I also have my personal training business and we’re opening up another location next week. I’m going to focus on the back-end side of that business in an attempt to assume a strictly managerial & marketing role.
Regardless if anyone is reading this… that right there was a complete weight lifted off my shoulders. It feels really good to align my thoughts with my actions going forward.
