We are living in an attention economy
this means that you will essentially get your attention stolen all the time and you cant do anything about it unless you realise that its gonna happen
as amazing as this era is, it is much harder now than ever to protect yourself
the pros outweigh the cons but the cons are winning simply because its easier to pull peoples attention to everything thats comfortable
Had uni exams recently (the only week I go to uni lol) and met a few friends
one thing that I noticed very consistently is that everyone has an absolutely cooked attention span
only a handful of them actually understand politics that goes deeper than Instagram reels and TikTok, even less of them that are able to link historical political events to how they are essentially shaping whats going on today
also saw how many of them are working jobs that dont pay well and do that for 8 hours everyday which made me count my blessings of how I was able to stack certain small skills to be in a place where I can take care of myself
crazy world we live in and gonna get crazier
Was following up with this dude for 2 whole weeks, dropped info and used GIFs too but guess what worked?
A joke.
Sales is literally the game of knowing how to maximise volume, understanding psychology and NOT sounding salesy
GIFs are genuinely an unpatched follow-up method.
cold dm → left on seen → a few follow-ups → still nothing → send a funny GIF
a lot of the time they just send one back and that’s usually where the call gets booked after starting the convo, happened with me just last week lol
another “just following up” or "nudging this to the top" gets ignored a lot but a GIF is easy to answer and also breaks the ice
I love GIFs
I sent a founder a cold dm last week and he replied asking how our pricing works. i explained the structure and pushed for a call, his answer: “thanks but i’ll pass.”
I still asked one more thing: is it timing, or do you not want to explore outbound at all?
turns out he wants to explore it but has been burned before, paid for leads that were irrelevant to what he is building
It was not a price problem, it was a trust problem.
Now i’d never have known that if I just stopped at a “thanks but I'll pass.”
Asking questions in sales is realllyyyy important, even after you get rejected, more info is more money
In 2009, the Center for Bible Engagement surveyed 40,000 people for a study called “Understanding the Bible Engagement Challenge: Scientific Evidence for the Power of 4.”
The biggest differences showed up in people engaging with Scripture at least 4 days a week. Not 1 or 2. FOUR.
Screenshot below: 4+ days meant higher odds of sharing their faith and memorising Scripture, and lower odds of viewing porn and struggling with loneliness. Below four, there was little measurable difference.
Connecting with God more frequently convicts your soul and genuinely turns you to Him, it goes from just hearing to actually doing what God made you to do.
James 1:22 (NKJV):
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

we just booked a big AI infra firm for one of our clients at @bullshxrk_. all through cold outbound.
the client’s feedback after the call: much better fit than the last one.
that’s what 4 guys on prospecting full time does. every client gets leads filtered against a very targeted ICP.
cold outbound isn’t dead. most people just do it wrong.
In the long run this saves a ton of time + efforts
We have tools for everything at this point
Building relationships with prospects is top tier advice.
Hear me out: I think small talk and actually having a conversation outside of business with the sole aim of knowing more about the prospect on a personal level goes a long long way
now im not asking you to get their entire history and background lol but rather ask about what hes been up to, whether hes been travelling, recommend good spots if hes somewhere you've been before
all of these little things occupy a certain space in their mind which makes business a whole lot easier
HOWEVER if your only goal to have the small talk is future business, its just useless.
consider the economical advantage of small talk as ONLY a bonus and not always the end goal
