This course is designed to impart validated prospecting techniques, along with strategies for fostering a proactive mindset to fearlessly approach any prospect.

The course delves into practical techniques that can be promptly applied to expand one's business prospects. If you are aware of the correlation between increased prospecting and heightened sales, this course is indispensable. Each idea gleaned from this course will resonate with you for a lifetime!

Module 1: Getting Started

Since 1992, I have been engaged in the practice of seeking potential clients. I have conducted more than 100,000 cold calls and have utilized various platforms such as text, Facebook, LinkedIn, email, door-to-door visits, and walk-ins for prospecting. Throughout this program, I will impart my most effective prospecting techniques that you can immediately put into action.

There are three key avenues to enhance your prospecting outcomes:

• The Inner Game: Focuses on your mindset.
• The Outer Game: Centers on the strategies and techniques.
• Taking Action: Involves the implementation of these strategies.

When it comes to prospecting, it's essential to devise a plan and document it for reference.

Module 2: Conquering Call Reluctance

Do you feel like you should be engaging in more prospecting?

The primary reason why many individuals avoid prospecting is due to the fear of rejection. I have developed a mindset that can be replicated to confidently prospect anyone. This mindset is closely linked to your approach. When you engage in prospecting, you are likely to encounter a lot of "No" responses. The rhythm of prospecting is typically "no, no, no, no, no, yes". Accumulating numerous "No" responses often leads to procrastination in prospecting.

It's crucial to change your mindset about this. Shift your focus to the activity itself – when you prospect, you are already winning. When you secure an appointment, you are doubly victorious. Regardless of the outcome, you are always winning. Receiving "No" responses shouldn't be a major concern!

In this module, I also recount a story about how I successfully prospected the NBA Hall of Famer, Rick Barry.

Module 3: Implementing a Prospecting Strategy

Are you currently utilizing a prospecting strategy?

My approach involves reaching out to 1 – 5+ potential leads each day, 5 days a week, utilizing various methods such as text, email, Facebook, LinkedIn, and in-person visits. Another effective tactic is to leverage your smartphone as a tool for generating business opportunities. Review your text messages and send a message to a previous contact. Similarly, engage with individuals on your social media platforms through direct messaging. These simple actions can significantly contribute to the growth of your business without incurring any additional expenses.

Module 4 – The Prospecting Game

One effective way to motivate yourself and take action is to turn your life into a game. Consider the reward programs offered by restaurants and stores, where you receive a free item after making a certain number of purchases. Similarly, in the prospecting game, you can start your day by setting a goal for the number of prospects you aim to reach and then keep track of your progress. Every interaction counts – whether it's dialing a wrong number, sending a text message, leaving a voicemail, or sending an email.

In this module, I also discuss how playing the prospecting game helped me connect with Michael E. Gerber.

Module 5 – The Dream 100

In this module, I will explain The Dream 100 concept, which I learned from Chet Holmes. This involves identifying your top 100 prospects and consistently reaching out to them until you secure an appointment or they request you to stop contacting them.

Additionally, you should prospect your top 100 opportunities using sequential marketing, which entails reaching out to them multiple times through various sales and marketing techniques such as email, social media posts, text messages, or calls. This approach can significantly expand your opportunities.

Module 6 – Sphere of Influence Selling

Sphere of influence selling introduces another prospecting idea. Instead of cold calling your prospects, you can leverage the relationships of people they know to gain introductions. This strategy can greatly enhance your prospecting efforts.

Module 7 – Intention

In this module, I share my stories of setting intentions while prospecting to achieve the desired results. It's crucial to always set an intention when approaching prospects.

Take immediate action and implement the concepts from this course to enhance your prospecting skills. I aspire for you to become my next success story!
