Had a brutal start to Q2. Pipeline's thin and I'm questioning my life choices for the 26th time this year.
Would appreciate some fuel 😂
Tell me about THE deal. The one you still think about. The whale you weren't supposed to land. The prospect everyone said was dead. The random introduction that turned into a monster commission. The comeback after getting absolutely smoked for years.
Doesn't matter the industry, doesn't matter the size, I just want to hear the breathtaking stories. The ones where you sat in silence and just stood there for a minute because you couldn't believe it actually happened.
I’ll go first
I’ve been cold calling for a few years now and I’ve done fairly well. Back in March of 2025 I decided I was going to start texting cute little eccentric texts after each call that didn’t answer.
One answered back and I like to quickly schedule a call because I love the energy transference that’s available over the phone and I hate sending company info without being able to feel the customer out first. For some reason this particular customer did not want to get on the phone continually making excuses and was persistent for an email.
Normally this is against my protocol because it felt a little sketchy but I took the shot anyway and to my surprise I received a full application including SSN’s and company info with just a few texts and 1 email.
Long story short he had already been in the market for my product for a while and my programs happened to be exactly what he needed for his restaurant expansion and it turned into a $12,000 commission.
Not the biggest one but I love thinking about how easy and “meant to be” it felt.
Who’s next?
