I’m in a funk, a daze…a cloud….loosing my way….arrrgggggg. did some good numbers in January, had 50+ people show up for dinners….and I’m……well…not really hammering the phone. Will be having serious pipeline problems 3 months from now……in the Spring…arrrggggg….Purple STR8….I’ll be lucky to get a Pinto (my mom had a Pinto, green)…….noooooooo!!!

How many times have I said, I’ll post numbers……Friday, Monday…someday……damm…it eats at you.

Been following Takingnames and Teeks19 on the Call to Action post….aaarrggggggg. How come I’m not hammering like they are? Those post are super inspirational….ok….enough with the tears and the phone too heavy crap………Chin Up and Cheer Up……Shamone……motherf%$&*##

I’m posting as of…………Monday…fed up……going back to basics, no more coasting……time just flies by way to fast….already Feb……

Thanks to all of you for postings results and efforts, Takingnames been at it since 2007, Teeks19 fresh out the gate. …both going full blast……

All The Way

Been cold calling this month also. Easy to get off track…Let’s keep going.

ATW, take it easy on yourself. You are climbing a mountain. Everyone has down cycles. As long as you realize it and get back on the bike you’ll be fine. A week or two of not pedalling isn’t going to make any difference. If the down cycle last longer or keeps coming back, then you need to do something about it.

This business is hard and it is not for everybody. Even strong performers. It is not worth your health or your mental well being. It is merely an avenue to a goal. That goal being financial independence. And, it’s a fine way for those not born to wealth to get there. However, the truth is it’s not the only road. Not one of our clients is a financial advisor. Yet all are rich. And, even if you wouldn’t qualify them as rich they are at least financially successful. How else would we meet them? So chin up!!! You are success driven. Reaching your goals isn’t a matter of if. It is a matter of when! You are already successful!!!

Thanks Bond Guy…as always, you’re post are always encouraging………a real trouper. I got the message and fell better about myself…just that at times, it’s hurdle after hurdle…never stops, easy to to get lost.

Nailed this week down hard. Got 50 solid contacts in per day, bagged 200 for the week. Got some pretty good one’s on the go, a 500K, another 1m, got a few in the 50-70k range…and added good inventory to the pipeline.

I hope to post some decent new assets numbers over the next few weeks, thanks to all for your encouragement, glad to see that most of the regulars are doing well and the newer members are going full blast.

Way to go, ATW!

Way to go, ATW!

TakingN,
Been going full blast, got a 80K coming in, a few smallers…and a couple of nice one’s in the pike. really been hitting 'em phones. Glad to follow your progress…keep at it and keep us posted. you’re a true trooper…vamonos…adelante…cabrones
All The Way

ATW, could you please elaborate on who you contact? How are you getting 50/day? Do you call strictly small businesses from the yellow pages or a niche market or corporate directory? I can never get past the gatekeepers and when I call someone without a gatekeeper, they tell me they have no money. Im calling businesses in the DC area. And how are you qualifying for this amount of money? I’m confused as shit and no one can give me any advice in my office cuz no one does any prospecting at all. Still trying to get meetings but Failing hard here

Zzzzzz…helll no. Been a good summer and I look forward to catching up again with the hammers out there who are the source of inspiration for many…time flies folks…hope you are all well.
All The Way

Kinda stuck again…I’m at $5,510,000 so far and just can’t seem to speed up the process. Pipeline is good, and so is my focus but still nowhere near pulling off $10M in 6 months from prospecting.
Anyways…down to the last 4 months of the year and would be content getting to $10M by the time Santa starts his rounds.

i’m time blocking 8am till 11am for prospecting only, call backs, new contacts, the same ol…didn’t get the car, got a people carrier for the family, had fun…but realizing that 10M + a year ain’t too bad after all. i’ll have to give this a push to get the balance in…been reading a lot of good posts out there and this really helps…let’s see what happens…
All The Way

Did you pull that $5 mil + just from cold calling? What kind of lists did you use? What was your script? If you pulled in nearly $6 million just from the phone, that is good in my book.

Just wanted to thank ATW and everyone that’s contibuted to this thread. Awesome stuff. I’m just starting off on the phone and hit a small slump but this got my pumped up. Like others, I’m the only one prospecting in my office so this is a great resource.

To all. Keep at it. It’s a. Numbers game.

SuperStars,
Seems kind of quiet out there…hope everyone is doing well. I’m building back up to 35+ contacts a day. it will take about 2 weeks to get there. Had a good year and will be timeblocking to add new business via cold calling.
hope all of you are doing well…keep posting as it’s always inspiring to read your posts.
All The Way

All the Way, Still here, I check the blog once in a while and would be up for a little cold calling competition to get the juices going.

Teeks you Top Dog,
Glad to hear from you. I’m slowly building back up the contacts, haven’t cold called in a while, lets aim for start February and go from there. I’m aiming to baseline around 50 contacts a day, for 4 days…200 a week for a couple of months to grow the biz…whats your target?
All The Way

Yes , I haven’t either or at least launch a serious campaign. I traditionally went for business owners but couldn’t get in a groove, would like to get back on track. I’ll go at it with you 50 a day 200 a week residential. Post weekly? Phone/mail/phone
I will just have one week in The month where I do exclusively client calls but rest will be cold and seminars

Teeks,
Same here bro, it will be good to get back at it.
I’ve also got a book so for the Blitz i’ll only be tracking new business from the calls and not counting any existing pipeline. I’ll run 50 a day, 4 days a week for 5 weeks…don’t think there will be much in the way of new accounts as it usually takes 2 meetings to open the accounts. But I will be happy doing the activity and will probably end up with 50-75 good potential clients to work with.

Lets call it Blitz #1 from Monday Jan 27th to Friday Feb 27th, 200 contacts a week.

Thanks for joining in as it helps make it pleasant and also for saying you will post weekely as it’s good to see progress.
All The Best,
All The Way
