Network and Grow Rich

Let me tell ya something straight up:

Email just ain’t gonna cut it anymore if you’re serious about joint-ventures, knowing quality mailing partners, and striking up content deals.

I can’t begin to tell you how many times, in the beginning of my online marketing career, that I sat by and said to myself stuff like, “Aaaah, screw it… he hasn’t responded to my email so he must not be interested.” Or, “She seems unapproachable based off her schedule.”

Of course, in the former scenario, 75% of the time, the person I thought wasn’t interested either a) didn’t get my email or b) just hadn’t had time to respond to get the details from me.

And, in the latter scenario, 90% of the time, the person was completely receptive to hearing what I had to say.

The point here is this: pick up the @#$% phone :)

Yep, reach out and connect the old fashioned way. You’ll find it will add to your personal bottom line.

Or, if that ain’t your cup of tea, there is another way (after all, I know many people who totally despise the phone like they despise eating peas or hearing someone’s fingers screech across a chalkboard).

Bravo, bravo, bravo! Thank you for taking a stand for every entrepreneur’s prosperity by them what they need to here, not necessarily what they want to hear!

In an age where many people imagine that they’re going to be able to make a fortune by hiding behind their email address and never speaking to another person……it’s interesting to see that very few people are actually doing that. None that I know, in fact.

On the other hand, I know a lot of people who are earning a multiple six- or seven-figure income and we all know that there’s no substitute for picking up the phone and having an authentic conversation with the right business partner.

I’ve never seen a website, autoresponder or Flash presentation that had the impact of a powerful person who’s willing to actually TALK to someone.

Great post, Barry! I appreciate you!

I couldn’t agree with you more.
People are busier then ever, and their
in boxes are overflowing.

I think a combination of phone, e mail and multiple mailing
combined with strong relationships are the way to go when it comes to tracking down high profile busy people.
