1. Have a passion for being the best at your profession
2. Have a Genuine interest in the people you meet - They are your sales force!
3. When working with you clients don't you use Lingo and Jargon it confuses your potential clients & listen to their needs
4. Be an expert - they are coming to you to learn something
5. Had fun with yourself and your business - It can lead to business
Rishel had recently participated in an iron man event and met people through that event that eventually became clients.
Other thoughts that got discussed:
Utilise affiliate marketing
Ask your clients for referrals if they we happy with your service
Call back leads until they say "stop calling" - you not bugging them everyone is busy!
Do business within your networks
Offer a free gift as way to curry trust and build upon the relationship
and finally let the toxic leads go, by cleansing yourself of those bad leads you will have more time and energy for potential new leads.
