Quotes:

• “Lead sources are leveraging someone else’s influence and getting that evergreen endorsement. Working with a company that has a vested interest in the success of the folks within their community.”
• “The first thing I did was, I put myself out there, I took the calculated risk and I decided to find the right tradeshow that would have my ideal target audience. The second thing, I at least left my contact info out. The third thing I did was, I said yes and figured it out later…The other thing I did, was I made it easy…I didn’t expect them to figure it out…Another step, I offered an affiliate commission.”
• “A lot of people overlook these types of strategic partnerships where it’s more about finding people in your niche that are already plugged into your ideal customer.”
• “Whoever you serve, Google it. Google is your friend here. Find the tradeshows. Find the trade magazines. Find the networking meetings. Find the industry association.”
• “A lot of stuff can be done through Zoom appointments, but I think there’s something, when it comes to key partners and when it comes to trust and understanding somebody, of getting on a plane and making time for somebody face-to-face.”
• “My whole life changed because of getting on that plane and taking immediate and decisive action.”
• “Sometimes you just need to have blind faith and jump.”

• There is a great benefit to taking immediate and decisive action.
• Having lead sources and creating strategic partnerships will help you grow your business.
