Father's Day Prospecting Reminder: Empathize & Create Relationships

Posted by Maureen Wall on Thu, Jun 12, 2023 @ 09:30 AM

Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday, June 15th. If you haven’t already planned something for your father or bought a card yet, the stores are still open. My dad and I haven’t always seen eye to eye on everything, especially during the dreaded angst-filled teenage years.

Having the know-how to find the right contact could be one of the most underrated functions of the prospecting process. This ability separates someone who is average and someone who excels.
