    Teacher wants OUT

    INTRO 
    Chances are you are interested in more than a handful of industry's and topics. I certainly was, and chose one (oil and gas) to pursue. I knew very little about it at the beginning and didn't know where to start. But I made enough of a fool of myself early on to gather knowledge and...

    Selling a specialty truck

    EXECUTION 
    Two more people interested in purchasing products. One of my potential sellers hasn't given me any photos of their line, but at this point if I can find more interested buyers, I consider that a good thing. I've also adjusted my introduction by focusing on tools within the trucks niche, not...

    Selling a specialty truck

    EXECUTION 
    Made a new contact today who was interested in all types of products I have access to. Seemingly every day I form a new thread in this spiderweb of buyers and sellers across the country. Actually had to make a map using template and paint so I don't forget who is where, who is who, and whether...

    Selling a specialty truck

    EXECUTION 
    So today was my toughest day of the week. Basically got told no by both of my contacts in regards to investing in a google ads campaign, one of whom said I'm more of a backup or reserve option for getting the deal done. I did find one more contact who is interested in trucks for purchase. I'll...

    Selling a specialty truck

    EXECUTION 
    Talked with the company for this thread and learned they are more inclined to go with a broker, one I assume with more of a reputation. Talked to the manager and he told me his boss (VP) have been behind with work due to the VP being sick for some time, so they're playing catchup with a lot of...

    Selling a specialty truck

    EXECUTION 
    Today's events: Day started by seeing my inbox had an email from yesterday's business owner with histruck info, plus another truck type I'm not familiar with. Throughout the day I contacted companies who have developed proprietary technology which compliment the services my trucks are designed...

    Selling a specialty truck

    EXECUTION 
    Here's what happened today Up until today, I went straight to the service providers, being direct and upfront early on with my intentions to sell our trucks. Switched it up today by approaching companies that work within the trucks niche in some capacity. These companies make and sell...

    Selling a specialty truck

    EXECUTION 
    The past few months I've been engaged in finding buyers and sellers for specific equipment within the oil and gas market. It hasn't worked out well up to now, as I'm generally finding more sellers than buyers, but this thread will document my latest attempt: Getting a specialty truck (2 in...

    Had to call it quits today.

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    I began by planning on helping tooling manufacturers in the oil and gas space with their supply chain. For those unfamiliar with o&g(as is the case with virtually every industry) there are a few titans, several mid sized guys and a plethora of tiny ones. This means anyway that the mid sized or...

    Had to call it quits today.

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Well, one of those threads no one wants to make. Basically the dream came to a sudden halt today, flew too close to the sun and got burned. My last year plus failed to produced enough tangible success and it's time to go back to the slowlane for the time being. General details are that I...

    What wins did you have last week? What would make this week a win?

    HOT! 
    Actually accomplished the first part quite well. Have a few new players within my circle who could benefit from what I offer. This coming week would be good if I could gather a payment from someone within that circle for my services.

    How did YOU find "Fastlane"?

    HOT! 
    Funny I was just the other day thinking whether a thread that asked this very question existed. I was informed at two points. First time was by a friend from another type of forum, who told me about this forum and the book, but I did not really pay either any mind at the time. A few years...

    Just quit my job in the middle of my shift. thoughts?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    definitely an act that generates polarizing opinions, especially with so many variables at play. as someone whos been there, you did what you wanted and felt you had to do. that's to be commended. it may very well be even worse in some respect for the foreseeable future, but at least you've...

    Starting from not making enough

    INTRO 
    I'm a fan of old fashioned approaches. As long as you have the proper logistics in place, stay consistent, and get the right message across during the conversations, I'm positive you'll get your first customer in no time.

    What wins did you have last week? What would make this week a win?

    HOT! 
    Last weeks win: made a new contact who can play an instrumental role in me closing a deal. This week would be good if I could find maybe one or two more people like that. And of course make a sale, still haven't made one.
