How a Wild Night in Cabo Revitalized My Business Strategy
Written on
Chapter 1: The Unexpected Business Revelation
During a casual outing, my friend Gonzo posed a question: "How's the business treating you?"
"I've amassed a decent following, but my conversion rates leave much to be desired," I responded.
He then remarked, "I seldom engage on social media; I prefer direct calls."
The thought of someone wanting me to "jump on a call" irked me. It felt like an invitation for a free coaching session. Admittedly, the copious tequila we had consumed since noon was beginning to influence my thoughts.
"But you see my point, right?" he pressed on.
"What’s the upside of these free calls?" I muttered, taking yet another shot.
"Well," he explained, "there are three potential outcomes from these calls: You could land a client, receive referrals, or even find a partner for a joint venture. It’s a win-win situation."
Curiosity piqued, I asked, "Do you have a strategy for this?"
"Absolutely," he replied, his confidence amplified by the tequila. He playfully referred to me as the 'godfather of SOPs, systems, and protocols.'
"Nah, my friend. I keep things straightforward," he clarified:
Engage with individuals both above and below your target audience.
What kind of wisdom is that? In my two decades in business, I had never encountered such a concept.
"Listen closely," Gonzo continued. "You need to converse with those who are slightly ahead of you and those who are just starting out. This way, you build valuable connections with the former and attract potential clients from the latter. Your lead generation could increase tenfold."
All it takes is a little tequila courage, right?
Engaging in conversations like this can dramatically shift the trajectory of your business in just one night. So, go ahead and schedule those calls, but remember: don’t just ask questions—offer valuable insights in return.
