Happy Sunday Afternoon from Sunny Phoenix Arizona - I logged into Kit this week and found I've accumulated over 660 subscribers. One of the things on my "Do before I die list" is to build an email list so we're gunna keep this rolling in 2025. If you wanna stick around I'll be periodically sending out updates surrounding... 1) Business Development (Lead Generation) 2) Building Businesses (Culture/Systems) 3) Inspiration If this isn't relevant go ahead and hit the unsubscribe button below! Let's dive into my best 3 insights from 2024 PICK UP THE PHONEDespite running a (mostly) cold email agency, the channel that printed meetings in 2024 was cold calling. In a world of AI and automation, you set yourself apart by actually calling people (who knew?) My team uses many tools, but PhoneBurner is the power dialer that my SDRs LOVE. It's not cheap, but it has very high connection rates AND They'll get numbers removed from bad lists if/when you happen to burn them. Building an Autonomous TeamI went from a solopreneur to building an agency with 10+ teammates in 2024. The #1 thing I emphasized while building culture was problem-solving. How? Dan Martell has a great trick to deploy TODAY to level up your team. When your team comes to you with problems, challenge them with this👇🏻 Bring me your problem AND 3 solutions you recommend + which one is the best and why. Instead of being the problem-solving guy - I empowered my team to learn how to solve their own problems. When you teach people how to think, they'll think for a lifetime (or something like that). How to be in the right rooms in 2025A little Inspiration from John MaxwellIn March 2024, I was invited to a High Capacity Leaders event with the famous author John Maxwell. He is full of gems and quotes. I found this one in my journal the other day: "Spend time around people who are bigger, better, faster than you. Then the goal is to be good enough to get invited back (build credibility)" Let me know what you thought and if you'd like to see anything else from me Much love, Mike Blumenthal |
