Prospecting Mood?

How do you get yourself mentally prepped to begin prospecting?


A good analogy that I saw the other day was that prospecting is like going to the gym or a run. Prospecting to some can be just as dreadful as going to the gym. There are a few things that we can do to make it better and make sure our hour is effective.


When you go to the gym you may pump yourself up by listening to music, stretching, going with a partner.


The same should apply when you are preparing to prospect, I personally psych myself by listening to music and I make sure to shut off my notifications to ensure I stay focused, set aside time on my calendar.


Curious to learn if there are any prep tactics that work well for you?

Same, money motivates.ย  I think about how many prospects it takes to get a deal and build my numbers that way.ย  How much work do I need to put in to make X dollars for my commish

Shotgun a Monster Ultra Zero (white can only), blast Half on S Sack by Three Six Mafia. Then I look in the mirror and scream โ€œWhoโ€™s gonna carry the boats?โ€ Like David Goggins and then hop on the phone to get hung up on 4 times in a row.

I look at my bank account @jackywacky and then I get after it. I just remind myself I have to make more money to absolutely obliterate it the next two weeks.

Caffeine, favorite songs, sometimes jumping jacks are needed - anything to get the blood flowing and a smile on your face :)

I just always like to keep a fatty pipeline and have a ton at top of funnel constantly. Gives you more flexibility dealing with things tht inevitably comes up, deal delays, mess ups, and allows for contingencies. Prospecting is key.
