Don't do this through WhatsApp

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

The podcast? Recorded online.
The sale? Done via email.
Prospecting? Through social media.

Dating? On Tinder.

Saying no? Through WhatsApp.

Firing someone? On a piece of paper.

The meeting? On videoconference.

The reasons for a raise? In a Power Point.

Persistence? Better not, just in case it annoys someone.

Something very similar was explained a few days ago by the great Monge Malo, the best sales coach in Spanish language this week.

And he is so right.

You spend your life doing whatever it takes to avoid conflict, risk, expense, or loss…

Weak. Gallina.

Go, call, show up, and slam your fist on the table.

The sale, the raise, the agreement, the job done, are in the conflict.

In facing it, accepting that it’s an essential part of a fulfilling life.

Seek out the conflict, don’t avoid it.
No one ever won a war by hiding in the trenches. Worse yet, they ended up dying just the same.

Since you’re going to be rejected anyway, since they’ll get annoyed and even insult you no matter what, at least do what you need to do to make it happen.

But you can afford it!

A couple of weeks ago, I received a call from an agent. Vicente, I have this house for you, and you should take a look. I receive the link. I take a look. The ratio rooms: people was 2:1 and I counted the cat as one. “Too big for us”. “Too big? But you can afford it” “That may be true, but it’s too big, we don’t need that space”. The conversation could have ended there, but insistence is too much of a temptation… especially, when you don’t have many prospects. If you thought that the decision...

The Street Lights Nobody Believed Could Be a PPP

Most people say: “It’s too small for a PPP.” They’re wrong. In fact, this one might be your best lesson yet. In Eldoret, Kenya, the local government pulled off a PPP for solar-street-lighting. Project size: approx USD 23 million. Yes… 23 million US in a country in Africa… In a PPP! More data: Scope: ~20,000 LED street-lights + around 3 MWp solar + 10 MWh storage. Goal: Replace ageing lighting, reduce cost, save lives, cut emissions. And this is why you should study this PPP Project: 1. Small...

The world is at war

The world is at war. Not sure if you realized it. Take a look. The far left and the far right. Work–life balance. Working hours and retirement. More rights and fewer taxes, or more; housing, precarity and the minimum wage… Pensions; emissions, plastics and manatees. Republic or monarchy. “No immigration” or open borders. Separatism or globalism. Fake news; the killers from one side or the torturers from the other, from this war or the other one… And football, rugby, the Black Friday and a...
