Would you DATE your own company?

It’s interesting how some people think you can be heavy-handed and “bully” a sale out of a prospect.

“Hello, nice to meet you…
…now GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!”

There’s a process of rapport building needed to make a sale so it is a win/win. And one without buyer’s remorse.

Dating actually is a pretty spot-on analogy here – take a look:

The sales process from suspicious stranger to lifetime client is following this path => know you, like you, trust you.

I’d love to hear what you see as things companies do to make you want to “date” them, get to know them better, and then commit to be a regular client of theirs for life.

Best,
JOE

Evil Plans

My two favorite books I read last year were Rework by Jason Fried and Ignore Everybody by Hugh MacLeod.  Hugh’s latest book Evils Plans just came out it’s killer.

I think Rework and both of Hugh’s books are total game-changers and must reads for any entrepreneur.  Here’s a video I did with Dan Sullivan while we were on Necker Island last week about this new book:

Here’s a link to check out Evil Plans for yourself: Evil Plans on Amazon

I’m adding these to the page on my “Joe Polish Recommends” site where I list all my favorite books on Marketing, Business & More.
