Want to increase your business? Go get 100 “no”s.

Print the word NO 100 times on a sheet of paper.
Pick out the most important marketing/sales you need to do right now.
Plan a reward for reaching 100.
Start making calls. Each time you get a no, cross off one NO.

You’ll get 100 nos, but imagine how many Yes’es you’ll also get.
Celebrate!
