In case you don't know Dan Tyre, I've heard him described as a machine. I've been told that he's the first one on the phone and the last one off the phone and his last call is as energetic as the first. This is a paraphrased email from him today. "I've offered my rolodex (look it up) to hundreds of folks to ask for intros and you are one of 10 who have taken me up on it. One of my customers has generated 100 leads from it."

10 out of hundreds....Come on people. You have to show up!

Pete Caputa has a great conversation happening over at Hubspot. I got involved. Subscribed to the comments. Read Barbara's comment. Checked out her blog. Commented there. She quoted me. Guess who's gonna get a call. Tim Patterson made a very thoughtful comment. I checked out his blog. Just in time for me to pass it out to all of the attendees at our seminar tomorrow. Bob Poole says, "I Dare You." and started following me on Twitter. OK, so I'll call him, too.

You can find people to talk to anywhere. Be open. Take a chance. They'd probably love to here from you. (They're probably trying to avoid making cold calls, too.)

Finally, is anybody else wondering how many referrals Jason gave?

Thanks, again, Pete!

 

COMMENTS

So not only is this the way it works, but Rick it is a small darn world! I've been reading your blog and Dave's for several weeks now. Now, we connected. Love it. Just followed you, Pete and Bob Poole on Twitter. I'm @barbaragiamanco if you are so inclined to follow me. 
 
This is how it works - connect with others, provide value, give other people visibility without expecting anything and really great stuff happens!

I am not so much a machine, as an executive obsessed with efficiency. Connecting with like minded executives is a requirement in the 21st century to build trust and your pipeline. Here is more proof that the world is changing: http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/4885/default.aspx?t=633816104928346549#comment31331

Dave, thanks for the mention. Just goes to show that if you keep growing those connections and keep planting seeds, good things will grow.
