Attract the Right Job or Clientele:  Check in with Friends

Have you ever felt somewhat “brain dead” about extraneous matters while working on a long-term project, or after it was completed?  I personally find it hard to come up with new ideas immediately after. 

Possible Solutions:  Talk with friends, do something different from the norm, or just go out and experience the world.  Look around to observe what else is going on in our world.  Letting go and giving oneself a mini-vacation from the everyday work does wonders for morale, and puts creativity in the works for the next best idea.

Today, a friend emailed a very long list of what an “expert” suggested should be done on a daily basis.  It was actually a week’s worth of work.  But I happened to mention in my reply that I write a blog most days.  The coincidence arrived in my email box about ten minutes later.  To my surprise, I was included in the list of “The Top 1000 Innovative Sales Bloggers” by Now I See It.

Each day, I am taking 15 minutes after work to call a friend with whom I enjoy speaking.  We have a good laugh, talk about family, and then progress to what we are contemplating doing next.  But similar to using reciprocity online with reposting one another’s work, we reciprocate with excellent recommendations and referrals.  This too serves to pick up the slack after completion of a tedious project, plus it strengthens our relationships.

The point is, momentum is never allowed to completely cool off.  For me, finishing a project can be a bit depressing if I don’t have something else to look forward to.  Perhaps you find the same.  So I encourage you to be of the mindset to always have a type of moving carrot in front of the project about to be included.  By having something else to look forward to, there is always some sense of adventure and excitement to be experienced ahead.

In terms of contacting people, consider:

  • Who has been on your mind lately?
  • Which person always seems to be working on the most intriguing projects?
  • Finally, who is it that’s just plain fun to talk to that might lighten your load a bit?

Salespeople new to the profession are taught to make 50 cold calls per day in person and 10 telephone calls before the fieldwork and 10 telephone calls at the end of the day to fill their pipeline.  Entrepreneurship works similarly but instead of approaching prospects, it’s far nicer to call your friends.  When you do, you will be more certain of finding the Smooth Sale!
