I want you to think about it this way...Prospecting works really well when you are communicating to somebody in the time and the platform that they feel comfortable with.” - Charles Specht “Do not waste your time, do not waste their time talking about just general type stuff. Get into it. You should be able to give your absolute pitch that at the end, you ask a question where you're expecting a yes or a no to it.” - Charles Specht “If they don't meet with you for one reason, they're probably going to meet with you for another reason. And, once you're there at the appointment, then it's all about relationship. But prior to that, it's a numbers game. Cold calling is a numbers game.” - Charles Specht Resources Mentioned: Reach out to Charles Specht Permission Network Insurance Agency, Inc.
