“If they wanted to do business with me, they would call me.”
BALONEY!
Think of it this way: you are a professional. If you don’t ask me to do business with you, you are an AMATEUR.
Now the choice is yours. Are you a pro, or are you a wannabe?
Here are some facts:
– Some people are going to think you are pushy no matter what you do or say.
– Some people are going to tell you to “buzz-off”.
– Some people are going to threaten to call the cops.
– Some people are down right lazy slugs and although they are looking at you straight in the face, they do not have a single clue what you just said to them or asked them to do.
– Some people will be reluctant to do business with you, but they will agree just the same.
– Some people will be glad you asked, while others will take offense.
– Some people won’t wait for you to ask and demand that you take their business.
This is what makes the world such a zany yet attractively fun planet to live and work on. It takes all kinds. And believe me, there are all kinds out there.
As long as you are not a crook, thug, or a dishonest ex-con, you have nothing to apologize for. Just stick to your knitting. Keep on asking for the business.
