It was exciting to see the number of you who posted blog comments, sent me emails and called because of my blog article, If you ‘do’ the three foot rule — stop it now.
We certainly hit a nerve! Do you know why? Because that kind of recruiting tactic often comes off cheesy, unprofessional and just downright rude too many times and we feel icky when we do it.
That’s borne out by your emails. so many of you using the tactic are uncomfortable and like Sara said in her comment, “I’m so relieved..not to have to use the 3-foot rule technique.”
The number one question I was asked, “If not the three foot rule what do we do to build in the cold market?”
Marlin said, “if the three rule is not where it’s at, then what would you suggest..[I] ask for referrals and people won’t give them to you..?”
Megan admitted, “I was encouraged to work the 3-foot rule, and I do talk to a lot of people, but if I was really honest with myself, I HAVE NEVER SPONSORED, OR BROUGHT SOMONE INTO MY BUSINESS THIS WAY. I have learned that truly SAVVY people form relationships, they don’t “business card bomb” as I call it
Thanks for this blog, it’s so true.”(All the emphasis here was Megan’s emphasis not mine.)
Sara was specifically asked, “How about a coaching call..to learn effective techniques..for chatting with strangers in the grocery store and piquing their curiosity.” (By the way, great close Sarah!)
And that’s exactly what we are going to do.
A 90 minute coaching call that includes:
The mike will be open - so ask your questions and get what you need and want.
