Wordless Wednesday (almost!): Prospecting...what are the chances?

Part of the definition for prospecting is chances or expectation of success. When prospecting, you are increasing your chances of more business by reaching out for potential buyer and seller clients. While there are no guarantees, prospecting yields positive results and is a lot like fishing...

You MUST:

· Be patient

· Be prepared

· Be consistent

· Be persistent

· Follow through

· Know your limits

· Have realistic expectations

· Make sure your message is clear

· Be prepared to lose a few...

· And to catch & release a few as well!

Now, get prospecting! And then go fishing! Or go fishing and then start prospecting! You make the call, it's up to you, you know?

I've never been a big fan of fishing, but if you bait my hook and take me to the place this photo was taken, I'm in...............beautiful. I didn't miss the point of your post, but the photo mesmerized me. Great analogy Wanda.

Ginger, Fishing and prospecting to me are one and the same!

Dan, Patience is key to a productive career and effective business relationships!

Fernando, The best of luck to you...not bad to have some of that on your side too!

Jerry, You must prospect...otherwise you may miss out on business or catch the one that got away last time!

Will, Both have good results! Happy fishing / prospecting to you too!

Roger, I'd gladly do that for you! Power bait is less squishy and easier to use!

Karen, Love a day of fishing, anytime, any day. And we must prospect to bring in new business!

Wanda, a very peaceful photo, but prospecting can be tough as it requires breaking out and attempting to get people to hear and notice you and listen to what you are offering

Ed, Prospecting can be challenging I agree but also can be monthly newsletters, handing out cards, attending community events. I am not a good cold caller so implement other methods to gain business.
