This is the all-time leaderboard for the group. This feels somewhat douchey to post because of my position there... But there is a hell of a lot of time, energy, thinking, and effort behind that number.

If your credit card is declining on payments to me... And you don't take care of it on your own... or... Ghost me... ===> I am watching your behavior. Not only will I NOT bring deals to you... If anybody ever asks me about you... My typical statement is: "My past history with NAME is that they do NOT keep their agreements." I know for a FACT this has cost folks who don't handle their business or go into hiding 5 and 6-figure jobs, deals, etc. Again, out of 430 folks here... I am only talking to less than 10. If you are one of the 10. I am watching. It does not go unnoticed. For the rest of y'all... ...thank YOU for keeping your agreement with me! That gets NOTICED too. Rooting For Ya, Travis PS I have also given folks 6 figure deals...and helped numerous people get 6 figure positions who KEPT their agreements with me. "NAME is a person of their word..." goes a LONG way today.

I wrote about this in response to another Ronin's post on setting up coffee dates, but I wanted to share it here as well. Listening to all @Travis Sago mindset work around finding partnerships has really shifted how I go about doing outreach. It's no longer a numbers game - it's a quality game. So here's what I've been doing. - I look for people who inspire the f* out of me and then I insightfully interact with their content. Sometimes this gets them to reach out to me, which is awesome. - After a little while I'll reach out to their DMs sharing what I like about their content, how it's impacted me, what I'm learning. This starts a conversation. - The goal is not to sell them on anything, but to increase the value of my network. These people may be great referral partners - people who have the ears and eyes of a group of ideal prospects. These people may be people who I can refer clients to to get a commission. They may be people with assets that are valuable. - If it makes sense I'll propose something or share the possibility of partnering with me, but since I only want to partner with A++ business owners it doesn't make sense to propose it all the time. I'd rather have a bonafide connection with one person who has access to a group of my ideal partners, who will pre-qualify and send them to me than 100 "prospects" that I try to rush to a coffee date. It's still early days of doing this, and I'm still figuring out all the pieces but so far the results have been good... BEST of all, it FEELS way better!

After sending 68 cold outreach, here are my stats: 28 still following up 2 maybe 1 from maybe to no 18 no 19 no response No response is the worst. Rather take a no. All the messages I sent were targeted and the prospects were researched well too. So the intro of the message is tailored to their unique biz / personal sitch. I'll keep going. Thanks to Travis, Jim, Tony & all the other awesome peeps in this community for all your wisdom & support!
