"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Hi there guys.

I was reading a book about the worst 25 mistakes salesmen do and one of them was not staying in touch with old customers.

I work as a computers tech so I need to sell myself in order to get clients.

The problem is that I don't have a close relationship with most of these people and I feel quite insecure about calling them. And I don't have emails.

I fear I might bother them with the call...

So how do you guys handle this matters?

Thanks!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

If you at least kept their contact details and the services that you had provided to them in the past you can always save yourself. In terms of women, it's remembering their name, and a little something about them.

Just make sure that when you call them up, you have a comparative price and an updated quote, along with comments and remembrances from your old contact(if you are dealing with a new buyer).

You need confidence though. If you really want to psyche yourself up, send them an email, just so you know, that they know, who will be calling.
