(2) #10 Keep It Short and Simple

January 18, 2010 by johnparker · Comments 

Well I will try to keep this short and simple (lol). Today I made some follow up calls and on each one of them I did exactly what the dare said to do.

This is what we have covered thus far…

This is the next step….

Wound Sat or Sundsay work better for you.

I am usually pretty darn consistent with making my follow up calls and emails….but not nearly as focused or clearly defined going into the call as this dare would have me to be.

I usually call my folks….and say the typical how are?, just checking in with ya….etc…etc.. So this dare really helped me remember that I need to get back to having more purpose behind my calls and follow up. I booked one appt for this weekend. That was out of about 10 follow up calls I needed to make. 5 of those I was only able to leave a message for….2 of them are out of town and not ready for the next step….and the last one already bought another home elsewhere (DARNIT!).
