Hello Everyone
I vividly remember the "wake-up-moment" I've had after my first time reading the Millionaire Fastlane while studying for my engineering degree.
Being young, uneducated and maybe even really naive about my future, I thought that this paper called degree would be my ticket to a dream-future. I was sick and tired of being disrepected, always having to comply anyway, having bosses who don't have my interests in mind and not feeling that what I was doing, or what I had permission to do after graduation, really had any impact on my dream-future, my "career", the world, the people around me, etc... After reading this book, I finally woke up to another reality, that really noone in general public talks about.
A big THANK YOU to MJ for having written all these amazing books! Can't wait for the next one coming out by the end of this month!
What I didn't get back then, when I was starting my first business (failed) and also my second business (failed too) was how important the aspects of Sales, Marketing and customer service are. Maybe it was due to my engineering-background, but I was so heavily focussed on building amazing products and services that I ignored the most important area (my opinion) one should focus mainly in the beginning of a business: Sales, Revenue, Profit, Marketing!
Having mastered the sales-area by now (took me around 4 years in total to really figure it out), I am thinking about becoming a consultant or service provider in this area.
It would be amazing if we could start a discussion about similar experiences forum-members had, which is why I'd like to ask you:
If you're a beginner:
-How do you wanna go about getting your first clients?
-What have you tried and failed/or succeeded with?
If you're already having a business (or several):
-What were some challenges you've experienced making revenue?
-What "level" are you on and how do you go about making revenue?
If you're already free (having a business that works without you, or investments that work for you):
-Do you still need to sell, or is investing in marketing everything you need to do to make profit?
-If you look back to the beginning, where you were still trapped in the rat race, how big of an impact had learning to sell for you?
Thank you very much for reading 'til the end! Hope to ignite a good discussion about that topic
