Ok,

In my 10 yrs + in business, the number one thing i have learnt to do is connect with your audience and partners at a personal level.

If people don't know, like or trust you, then how are you going to have a sustainable business?

So if you are struggling to connect with your audience, invest some time in yourself by listening to the audio here. and following the examples.

It wont make you millions but you will get some understanding of how to get the attention of your niche.

For the benefit of the community, please share 1 or 2 points that jumped out at you.

Trust is very important for sure, but at the same time I don't think clients need to be your best buddy to want to use your services, as long as your business and services are well presented and offer the solutions that they're looking for.

By the way, i've not listened to the 71 mins audio as yet.

Good point.

How about creating a "buddy" like effect without meeting, speaking or knowing the prospect which gets them to call and talk to you as if they already know you?

Just might be worth listening to - if you like the idea of prospects being pre sold without you having to do any selling.

Hi Khalid. Yep i've started listening to it. I'll see how I go.

If you care to elaborate on your buddy effect whilst you sleep suggestion i'm all ears.
