The Rule of 7's

Success in business is as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

A friend told me to think in sevens.

Meaning, it takes 7 calls or 7 emails to get a prospect to agree to a meeting. 

It then takes 7 meetings to get to a deal. 

Your results may vary. 

But when I think about my career, “The Rule of 7’s” seems to apply to new business, existing business, and a host of initiatives with people and projects. 

It’s a good rule to remind you of what’s required to succeed: persistence and patience. 

I don’t know where you are on your journey of the sevens. 

Maybe today is email 4. Maybe you’re lucky enough to be at call number 7. 

Of course, it’s #MondayMotivation so if you’re at square 1 — best of luck. And go get ‘em.
