Really quickly. A lot of us have various opt in methods. Free books, blog comments, FB adds.<\/p>\n

What are we doing with that noise? Hello.\u00a0 Call them.<\/p>\n

Objection #1 “But I Can’t Find A Numba”<\/h3>\n

OKAY, fine.\u00a0 You can’t find a number.\u00a0 Sergey and Eric made this little website,<\/a> it’s a good starting point.\u00a0 So is linkedIn.\u00a0 So is Twitter.\u00a0 Search your lists.\u00a0 Search everything you do, and yeah, you can “find a numba.”<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s not hard.<\/p>\n

Some hints:\u00a0 a lot of people are in the 90 and 9 in your fb list.<\/p>\n

A lot of people are in linkedin.<\/p>\n

A lot of people are attached to someone else.<\/p>\n

Objection 2: But, Daddy, They’ll HAAAAAAAAAATE me.<\/h3>\n

Twice, maybe.\u00a0 Twice I’ve called people and gotten some sort of jerk face.\u00a0 Offense that I’d dare call them.\u00a0 I call\u00a0 about 15 people a day.\u00a0 75 a week.\u00a0 I have had a bunch of people I got no interest in, that’s for sure.\u00a0\u00a0 I have a bunch of people that I can’t stand…another given.\u00a0\u00a0 And a bunch of people that want the free stuff.\u00a0 No sweat.<\/p>\n

More often, I call people, decide that they are morons and don’t pursue anything.\u00a0 With them.\u00a0 I call, they’re not interesting….to me.\u00a0 See, calling about 75 people a week gives me options.\u00a0 I don’t need to chase every imbecile or get anxious about stuff.<\/p>\n

…I don’t have any Boiler Room Jedi Mind Tricks.\u00a0 I don’t even currently have a script.\u00a0 I’m not that good…I step up to the plate and take my hacks.\u00a0\u00a0 And that’s enough to make me a living that has been six figures 9 out of 10 years 2006, friends was the bad, bad year\u00a0 I know you all were laughing, but I was rocked hard by the IRS, my own ego, and a bunch of rental properties that were imbecilic.<\/p>\n

Objection 3:\u00a0 I shouldn’t have<\/em> to sell.\u00a0 I’m such a great blogger that they should come to me.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Okay fine.\u00a0\u00a0 Look, they did. <\/em>They came, saw and commented.\u00a0 They gave you love, they gave you some confidence.\u00a0 Now pick up the phone, and close the deal.\u00a0 They are BEGGING to give you their money.\u00a0\u00a0 Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
