I am loving the phone more and more! (Image Credit and thanks to Maxwell Smart)
I have started to really fall in love with the phone when it comes to running my business!
I find in the modern world that the good old traditional voice calls have taken an unfortunate back seat. I have decided to be the one who brings this back.
About a week ago, I started finally something I always wanted to do, “11 before 11”. This is where you make 11 calls before 11AM as an ideal move. Of course, this isn’t always possible for me, so I may do it an afternoon or something like that.
Basically, this has come more powerful than many other forms of Marketing I have done. Facebook Messenger and LinkedIn Messenger are great (and sometimes the best / only option), however nothing beats the wonderful phone.
People are much more likely to answer, if you leave a message they are more likely to get back to you and even more; when you have a discussion you can pivot, offer more items and commercially have a more constructive conversation.
Even though this may sound obvious as I write this, I have found it extremely absent from modern day ‘common sense’. Email and all that has just taken over too much and even though I am a heavy online guy, I find myself longing back for the good old days of the phone.
My advice and thinking? Use Emails, SMS, FB Messenger and LinkedIn Chat and all that; but use the phone more. For me this has been a great improvement to the business that has been just awesomely powerful.
Do it, make calls every day. Chase up old customers, check in with current customers, invite people to your workshops and just make it all happen.
It rocks, I love it!
Thank you for the read and happy calling friends!
