Do You Bring Solutions or Problems?

Are you taking things off your prospect's plate or adding thing on your prospect's plate?
Chances are, your prospects are busy.
They're always doing something. They're never doing nothing.
Everyone is busy.
Even someone jobless.
So people have priorities and can't take out too much of their time.
Unless your someone influential like Mike Tyson.
If he called you up saying he wanted to give you boxing lessons, you'd clear your schedule in a heartbeat. No questions asked.
But we're not like that.
So it's flabbergasting that people will ask their prospect to hop on a 30-minute zoom call on their first outreach message.
It's like, they don't even know who you are.
Sure, you've told them what you do, but you have no way of instantly proving that you're good at it.
And you expect them to comply?
Friiiiiiiick no.
You're just adding things on their plate. Making their to-do list bigger.
And they're gonna hate your guts for it.
You need to build it up first.
Get some rapport going.
Showcase your portfolio.
Slowly build trust so it feels more of a opportunity than a burden.
Then, after a few messages you can ask for a quick call.
And 9 times out of 10, they would gleefully comply.
The goal is always to give them solutions that are practical.
Not problems that are annoying.
They already have too many of them anyways.
Talk soon,
