1. Imposter Syndrome. The core of most prospecting success comes from believing that you have something valuable to offer clients. 2. Using the same message multiple times.

First, it allows you to build momentum. Second, it makes sure you avoid the feast-or-famine cycle which wreaks havoc. Third, it allows you to systematically test your approaches to see if one works better than the other. - - 4. “Selling” too early in the process. - This is good news because it means you don't have to be pushy to be a good prospector. - - 5. Not doing enough research. - A little bit of research is essential because it allows you to personalise your outreach. - - 6. Focusing on “closing”. - I tell advisors to focus on converting instead of closing. - Why? Because when you convert a prospects into a client it's the BEGINNING, not the close of the relationship - - 7. Underestimating how many leads it will take to get a prospect. - Track your ratios.

Trying to figure everything out yourself. - Use a coach, talk to peers, become active in this Skool community Here is the link to my LinkedIn post that provides a hack to stay motivated https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ermos_here-is-a-hack-you-never-knew-plus-another-activity-7238167165550350336-O2n0?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

Creating ad copy for lead generation on Facebook requires a strategic structure to capture attention and drive action. Here's the structure I use: 𝗛𝗼𝗼𝗸: Start with a strong, attention-grabbing opening to draw the audience in. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺/𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Identify your audience's problem or ask a question that resonates with their needs and concerns. 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻/𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿: Present your service as a solution to the problem or the answer to the question. Explain how it addresses their pain points. 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀: Highlight the key benefits of your service. Clearly outline what the audience stands to gain by choosing you. 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿: Introduce an irresistible offer. This could be a discount, a free trial, or a special promotion that adds value and entices action. 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗖𝗧𝗔): End with a clear and compelling call to action, instructing the audience on what to do next. Make it direct and easy to follow, such as "Sign up now" or "Get your free quote today." By following this structure, you can create ad copy that captures attention and effectively guides potential leads through the decision-making process, ultimately driving more leads.

Hey guys, so I contacted my wholesaler and I have a list of about 200 (was upward of 2k, had to narrow it down) businesses in my area. Ranging from a few hundred thousand to a few hundred million in Assets. My goal is to probably target the ones around 800ish million - to just A few million and gather all the axillary business that comes off of that. My question is how would you guys go after these businesses? Contacting POI on LinkedIn, direct mail? What the best way to reach out. Also this is just on of my “5 to stay Alive” money making activities. Just looking for insight.
