Every month I do a mentorship call with Matt Sharrers, the CEO of Sales Benchmark Index. During these calls, I’m working on my business, as both an investor and CEO,rather than working on the tactics. Over time, it’s incredible how much I’ve grown to appreciate and understand how vision and strategy are actually 80% of the conversation – and 20% is around process, structure, people, tools, and tactics.

Do you really need more people in your business network? Well, yes and no. I’m sure you have people in your business network you never talk to. I do. And while I want to remain connected with them, how I stay in touch depends on the value we provide each other. You receive my weekly emails and a recap at the end of every month. But I don’t really know you unless you reach out to me—which I encourage you to do.

As a sales trainer, there’s always a balance between research and just picking up the phone and dialing out. How much research do you do before just picking up the phone and dialing? Too little, and you sound like a cold call , and you’ll get disconnected. Too much, and you waste time you could spend connecting with the people who you can convince to take an appointment and eventually to buy your product or service.
