How to lose any sale FAST!
Dude made the ick factor on LinkedIn immediately...and I'm outta here!
This story just happened to me on LinkedIn.
Dude DMs me as soon as I join a group.
One quick platitude...then a pitch...with "brother" thrown in.
I reply...one quick platitude...then another pitch.
I reply...then the "brother" again, and a third attempt at a close.
I flip the script, and pitch him...now silence...and a comic panel.
If you're forcing a submission on the mats or forcing your biscuits to rise faster or forcing a relationship or forcing a business deal...you need to rethink your life.
You can put 10 men in a room with a woman, but it still takes nine months to make a baby.
There's a process for everything.
Yes, you can sometimes skip ONE step or blend/merge two steps into one, but if you move too quickly and skip too many steps when doing anything meaningful...you're asking for trouble.
This guy is now dead to me.
I'll delay replying to him...I've already unfollowed him...and when he's not looking, I'll remove our connection.
You only get one chance to make a great first impression.
Market like you mean it.
Now go sell something.
