Default Getting People Interested

People have been using AI to get leads for some time as well as giving away lead generators to develop their lists.

Yeah, I get it... If someone is going to sell to a list... ya gotta have a list!
However, the type of sales I do... which is helping people one-to-one... is particularly suited to just talking with people !

One of the things that I learned back when I was a teenager was to become interested in people. I think it was Dale Carnegie who said that if you talked with people about themselves, they would talk for hours and think that you were a great conversationalist.

Glenn's lunch antics with lottery tickets not only get him free lunches, but people interested in talking with him. (And don't forget his clown nose gambit)

I've used simple magic tricks in the past to get people to pay attention. There is no reason you couldn't use simple magic tricks to make points in a presentation. (There are books discussing this technique for sales)

What we are really talking about is schmoozing. Just getting together with folks, creating rapport... and talking... with persuasion.

Just to be simple... be interested in the other person.
