 How can we make it easier on us and more enjoyable for our prospects?

Also, a good return on our time and efforts.

Tune in to my conversation with the great Neil Weitzman, Founder of PORCH and Fractional CRO revenue•x  where he shares tactically ways to connect with our ICP, engage in an energetic and  meaningful way and have a two way conversation.

 Isn’t this every sales person’s goal??

Investing in ourselves and our team will yield results over time, but how many of us are doing this?

What community are you part of?

Are you giving first or taking?

How are you making your audience feel? 

Are the questions you ask impactful, making them scratch their head and think?

Are you at  events that inspire connection, sharing, comparing perspectives? 

This is the foundational to bulldog trust and forming long term partnerships.
