What truly constitutes an ideal prospect? I would relate this to a block in the game of billiards when you knock the opponents ball off course or position your ball to block the target. Generally, CXO whales deploy and delegate to have several vendors spelunked at once. Write this down on paper to memorialize it.

Dave Brock says it the best ever: Prospecting is the New Prospecting ! You need to pinpoint the mobilizers, your advocates and build consensus amongst champions inside the prospect's ecosystem. In selling, powerful prospects are trying to outwit you on a three dimensional chess board with a backgammon board underneath.

I’d love to start at the beginning and understand what you learned about engaging prospects. Find all the job sites, all the construction workers, and demo tools all day long to get them to buy. I love power tools, I worked with power tools, but I wasn’t a construction worker. John: I was my first job.

Bring your feelings, gut instinct, experience, and constructive emotion into the boardroom and sit at the table. If you do something constructive with your doubt, and use it to advance yourself, it can be an asset. Heck, stand at the head of it. Never believe that doubting yourself is a bad thing. Doubt is a part of life.
