Stay Paid Podcast

Today's episode is about content—emails and blogs. We interviewed Jacob McMillen who's mastered how to appear at the top of Google's organic search results whenever anyone searches for "freelance copywriter." Jacob shares some tried-and-true principles of copywriting (which he calls "a-synchronous" sales; I love that) and offers tips that even beginners who have never written a sales email or blog can easily apply to make money and build their audience. Watch, listen, and take notes if you can because this is super useful info!

I'm a little different from a lot of other sales professionals . . . I enjoy cold calling. I think its because I genuinely enjoy speaking with people, plus I completely believe the products we sell can change people's lives. When it's done right, cold calling remains an important tool in the sales professional's toolbox because it works. And a significant portion of your success when cold calling can be attributed to your mental state. Listen as Josh and I talk about: - The most critical component of being a successful sales professional. - How doing this ONE THING can better prepare you to pick up the phone and dial. - What 93% of your success on a cold call can be attributed to. ~ Luke Connect | Resources Visit www.remindermedia.com/coldcall to get FREE videos, e-books, scripts, and additional podcasts to help build your cold calling skills.

Sales really is a lot like dating—especially when it comes to building long-term relationships with your clients. You need to go out on frequent dates to get to know each other and decide if you like one another. You want to make an impact and create a positive, lasting impression, so you plan those dates to include activities and interests the other person enjoys. Eventually, you want to build trust so that they'll commit to the relationship and never leave. Download this week's Silver Dollar episode and hear how to make your clients fall in love with you.
