A little while ago, I sent a cold call sales email out to a Massive Potential Client (MPC). Actually, I was feeling a little frisky that Sunday morning and sent out emails to four MPC's.
~
These are the types of marketing efforts that I never expect responses from. They are off the wall offers to provide project management services to companies that have massive projects and resources in place. I usually do this when I'm a little peeved with the current business outlook and do something outrageous to get the adrenaline back.

But MPC Numero Uno responded... is interested.... set up a presentation meeting for the end of February.

This gives me one month to prepare. And this MOAM is going to that meeting Locked and Loaded.
~
If I told you who it was, and what I offered, you would never believe it. But Peeps... you can never second guess yourself. Because when you do that, your failure is a self fulfilling prophecy.
~
You have to try, sometimes, be bold... even outrageous. Then, at least you have given yourself a chance. Not a huge chance, but a chance that I wouldn't have if I didn't send out that crazy email.
~
And if, against all odds, I land a game changing deal with this MPC, then I owe it all to allowing myself to go through with a crazy, impulsive action that Sunday morning.
