For the first time ever, I gave a client the advice to “cease and desist all prospecting activity effective immediately.”
She phoned in for her coaching call and it was evident from the get-go that her energy level was down. Once she started talking, I understood why: She was burned out, frazzled and frustrated. Those are not good qualities to have when the goal is to be energetic on the phone or when meeting with a client or prospect. So, imagine her surprise when I told her to stop selling altogether.
