OR. “I’m just calling to see what you thought about our bid?”. OR. “I was just seeing if you had time to speak with (your boss, partner, committee) yet?”. What do all of these openings have in common?

When I hired a sales coach over a decade ago, things didn’t just start happening in my professional life; things started happening in my personal life as well. It started with a small change in the way I interacted with my husband.

For as long as anyone can remember, salespeople have suggested that the very best way to acquire a new client was through a warm referral from an existing client. The salespeople who would tell you they prefer referrals would also tell you that they would prefer not to make cold calls (a call to someone who is not expecting your call). If you pay attention, you will notice that many of the people who resist making cold calls also don’t ask for referrals either.

More content is produced and shared now than at any other time in human history. Because the social sites allow the written word, video, and audio to be shared widely with no cost and little effort, you have more access to information, ideas, and opinions. Because the algorithms are designed to keep you on a platform for as long as possible to maximize the revenue from ad sales, the content you see isn’t randomly shown to you, but instead intentionally placed in front of you.
