Persistence.
I’ve often been curious to hear the responses given by individuals of substantial success when asked about their methods or secrets. The secrets of the wealthy, the winners, the business elite. Over the years, I’ve heard some remarkable responses, and some quite simple doctrines as well. I once at a conference listened to a rather engaging older gentleman profess that his secret was writing goals on a small piece of plywood, and then sleeping with it under his pillow. Honestly I thought to try it, once, no more than twice, but the idea of an inordinate amount of splinters ravaging my cheeks kept me from running to Home Depot for sharpies and 2×4’s.
No is a Positive Outcome in Sales
There are numerous studies that reveal that 87% of sales people working the telephone give up after the first attempt. By extrapolation this means that only 13% follow up more than once. Another 10% give up after a second call. Only about 3% of reps follow up more than twice. Which do you think have a higher rate of success? To get more positive responses you have to hear more nos. You hear more no’s (and more positive responses) by following up every lead and every opportunity. To get more positive responses you must be tenacious on following up leads. Get the ‘no’s’ out of the way. Being perseverant and persistent is the key and it requires two things: a follow-up system and self-discipline.

Marketing Accommodation Options to Mature Age Prospects.
An Article I wrote with the provocative title "The End of Retirement Villages? Yes Please!" generated a few robust responses from Australian providers of community-style accommodation for the 55+'s - which they typically choose to market as "Retirement Villages". Those responses have confirmed I need to clarify the concerns I attempted to raise in that article - firstly the importance of selecting, and communicating, the right name and market position for your accommodation option's target, and secondly, changing the reality of the lifestyle your accommodation option offers to prospective residents.
