I am working with someone else, working on a presentation, making speeches, or some other very important and worthwhile activity. That doesn’t prevent the problem of a valley in my future however. So what do we do? We make a sacred time each week that is just for Prospecting. Nothing short of death gets in the way. Our BLITZ CALL® Prospecting System is designed specifically for regular periodic Prospecting. Not a “big deal” Prospecting event, but just a regular activity to keep your pipeline of Prospects full. If you try to make Prospecting an “event” then it will get too complicated and you won’t do it.
