b You are conducting a Follow-Up Phone Call and the book recipient responds, “Before I agree to schedule the Phone Consultation™, I’d like to read the book first”. I normally tell the person at this point that the purpose of having the 15 minute Phone Consultation™ is to save them the time and trouble of having to read the entire book, that we will get the major concepts of the book out to them quickly so that they can more quickly be freed up to have more time for Meaningful, Important, Significant and Compelling Conversation. However, they almost always say that they want to read the book first. How would you handle this?
b How do I respond when book recipients say, "Call me in a later next month (etc.)"?
b During the Follow Up Phone Call, is it preferable that we request that both partners be on the Phone Consultation™ but be ok if we only are able to schedule the one we're speaking too?
b I am just starting on my journey with 6 ideal clients and calculated the number of phone call meetings I need to make(to be Done in 4 years or less)as 5/day. What activities do you suggest I be doing now/ASAP, to ensure I am getting these numbers so I can fill my activities calendar each day?
b I am now in the CAP program. Out of the 60 existing households I have 10 Ideal Clients. These clients have all been with me for 8+ years. For lack of a better word I've worn out my referral welcome with these folks. I'm in Rotary, Lions, Chamber of Commerce, and some other social networks. Of the many people in the Chamber I'm only familiar with a few, so I feel like I have to at least go talk with each person to get a self referral, find out a little about them and introduce myself since we have never met in person. I'm not having a lot of success with this in converting people to Ideal Clients. Most of my Ideal Clients are retired and not still working. I've finished all aspects of my Deliverables Team and trained a new internal staff since the last academy. To be bluntly honest I have time blocked time on my calendar for client acquisition, but just don't feel like I have a qualified (and I stress that word) list of candidates to call on for the process. Based on the 113 Ideal Clients I will need I'm going to have to call on almost 1,000 people to reach my goal of 113 Ideal Clients. I'm really struggling and would greatly appreciate your input on where I’m going to get all of these people? For our service to make sense they have to have a minimum of $500K, but really would be better for $1M+. I could call on people all day long with no money, lack there of, or a couple hundred thousand, but it would be a real waste of my time, yours, theirs, and my families time, because it won't create any REAL results even if they have a good experience.
