#### About Today's Guest

Entrepreneur, geek, marketer, sales-guru, teacher, husband and father to two wonderful girls, Henry Evans has been involved in getting results with sales and marketing for over 20 years.

He has had responsibility for generating over $15,000,000 in sales and has engineered a $189,000 payday in 90 minutes.

His experience spans from the heart of Washington, D.C., successfully working with clients such as the US Department of Labor and Executive Office of the President of the United States, down to working with a local Steakhouse on re-vamping their marketing campaign.

Greatest Sales Success

- Left his "corporate schmuck" career as a VP of Sales in software on Halloween Day and never looked back.

Most Spectacular Sales Flop

- Henry accrued over $125,000 in credit card debt and depleted his 401(k) when he went out on his own before he really turned his business around.

What Are You Doing Daily To Grow

- Set daily goals.
- Know where you want to be a year from now.
- Have one clear number you are focused on such as "100 new clients by the end of the year."

Rubber-Meets-The-Road Tip

- Do tw0-step lead-capture. Don't rely on just getting an email and waiting for them to come to you. Collect more information such as address and/or phone number and follow-up sequentially.

What Are You Reading Now

- Henry is always reading and re-reading Napolean Hill's "[Think & Grow Rich](http://amzn.to/1a0JmpN)."

Links Mentioned
