Helping You Prosper With What You Have!
Why Is 1 The Most Dangerous Number?
Those of you from my vintage will remember a song that goes something like this “1 is the loneliest number . . . ” and it’s so true, especially when business is concerned.
In all of my years as a business coach, it astounded me the number of business owners that relied on “1″ super salesman or “1″ great way to get clients.
For instance, when I was at Mal Emery’s Platinum event recently, I met a guy who was a visitor to the event (invited by one of the members) . He had a very profitable business making profits in the high 6 figures. So what’s wrong with this you may ask yourself?
The one big thing was number “1″. He had one super salesman who generated the vast majority of the sales . . . and profits.
So if the salesman left him, retired or was incapicated, this business would be down the drain.
The same goes for lead generation, so many businesses, both off & online only have one method of getting new clients! It may be yellow pages or adwords or whatever.
The solution, train more than 1 super salesman and at the same time, have more than one lead gen strategy.
