Alan and James continue our Sales & Marketing Series. One of the biggest rules in marketing is that you can’t wait for your customers, you have to find them. If you build it, they will not come.

So after running Popup Business Schools, we quite often go back six months after the event, and we chat to people, how’s it going? What’s been happening? And quite often people told me, I haven’t got enough sales. I’ve not been selling enough. So ask them, Well, how many people did you contact? And I said, Well, I sent 10 emails. And now I’m waiting. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Don’t wait. Stop waiting. If you want a sale to happen, don’t send an email and wait for a reply.

So don’t wait. follow up, follow up, follow up, follow up, send those emails, do those calls, do those pitches, make sure you follow up to get those sales.

And if you’re waiting, stop it, get off the couch and do it. You can wait for the rest of your life for something to happen. If you really want it to happen, you have to make it happen. And we have an entire series of events coming up in 2018 that we’re really excited to share with you. So keep checking the Events page on the website to find out where we’re going to be in 2018. We’re going to be in America. We’ll be in New Zealand and we’ll be all across Wales, the UK, England and Scotland is going to be great fun, and I look forward to meeting you at an event soon. Soon.
