To Scale Your Sales...Do What Doesn't Scale...

It's time to really zig as everyone zags.

Wimpy Salespeople are afraid of standing out from the crowd.

Oh, and the ol'

"YOU GOTTA THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!!"

"YOU GOTTA ZIG WHEN THEY ZAG!!!!"

"YOU GOTTA BUY WHEN THERE'S BLOOD IN THE STREET!!!"

Yet everyone does what they see everyone else doing.

For at least five years, I've been nagging my clients to DO WHAT DOESN'T SCALE!

Do you want to persuade and convince 100 prospects 10% of the way or 10 prospects 100% of the way?

Today, I just booked a successful author, speaker, athlete, entrepreneur on The Sales Podcast.

His assistant reached out to me on August 18th, and I missed the message because I was traveling to Maine for eight days to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with ORIGIN® and Brian Littlefield and JP Dinnell...who both avoided rolling with me...they didn't want to hurt me...they're kind and considerate that way, but I digress...

Anyway, I get pitched at least 30 times a day between email, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms from people and agencies who want to come on the show.

But this guy is professional and thorough enough to follow up.

Now his assistant's message arrives when I have time to read it, and I notice the "personal video" line.

Now, I see this all the time, and I must admit I'm old...jaded...and cantankerous...so I didn't believe it was a custom video...but I was curious, so I clicked it...and low and behold...it was a 3-minute, 46-second video for me.

He was in a suit with a nice backdrop showcasing his many books.

He had good lighting.

He had good sound.

He used my name.

He mentioned The Sales Podcast.

He told me his background.

But to be honest, he had me sold within eight seconds, which is the time it took for him to say my name and mention my podcast by name.

Hell, truth be told, I was sold in the first two seconds because the video was professional, and he opened with my name.

Do you want to scale your business?

Do what doesn't scale.

Market like you mean it.

Now go sell something.
