Key Takeaways:

• If you don’t have passion and you don’t have heart, then you are not going to be able to put the time, energy, and effort into growing your business.
• Good, bad, right, or wrong, how we feel in our bodies actually really impacts how we operate in the world on a daily basis.
• You can’t do good business with bad people.
• Do what you do best and delegate the rest.
• Niches lead to riches.
• You cannot be both the best and the cheapest.
• You’re a hundred times more likely to engage with a lead if you get in touch with them within the first ie minutes versus 30 minutes of them actually having an interest in what you’re providing.
• Actually asking people what they want to drink outside of water, coffee or tea, for example, is probably one the biggest ways to minimize your no-show. People just feel obligated to show up because you’ve been nice.
• The fortune is in the follow-up.

Action Steps:

• Hire someone to write a business plan.
• Be smart with your dollars.
• Make sure to have a great website.
• Hire a marketing team.
• Keep trusting the process.
• Be clear upfront about having a training manual or processes and procedures that you want the people in your team to follow.
• Take off the business owner hat and put on the prospect hat and consider: What would you want to hear? What could you see that would move you to action?
• Think about getting a business coach.

Jessica said:

“Guess what? Life happens. Sometimes people need a little nudge or they need a little push. And if you just kind of write them off, they might go down the street and do business elsewhere.

“Most salespeople are willing to follow-up with someone once, when the truth is most people need about five follow-up attempts after a consultation or appointment to decide to buy.”
