Be proactive in seeking out new leads from "summary" of How to Sell Anything to Anybody by Joe Girard
To succeed in sales, you must always be on the lookout for new leads. Think of yourself as a hunter, constantly tracking down fresh opportunities to make a sale. Don't wait for leads to come to you; go out and find them. Be proactive in your approach, never resting on your laurels. One way to generate new leads is to make use of your existing network. Reach out to friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances to see if they know of anyone who might be interested in your product or service. Networking is a powerful tool for building new connections and expanding your customer base. Another strategy for finding leads is to attend events and conferences related to your industry. These gatherings are a goldmine of potential leads, as you'll be surrounded by people who are already interested in what you have to offer. Make the most of these opportunities by engaging with attendees and collecting contact information for follow-up. In addition to networking events, consider leveraging social media to find new leads. Platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook are great tools for reaching a wide audience and connecting with potential customers. Be active on these platforms, sharing relevant content and engaging with users to establish yourself as a trusted authority in your field. Lastly, don't forget the power of cold calling and cold emailing. While these tactics may seem outdated, they can still be effective in generating new leads. Just be sure to personalize your messages and demonstrate genuine interest in helping the recipient solve their problems. By taking a proactive approach to seeking out new leads, you'll position yourself for success in sales.
