F.E.A.R – False Expectations Appearing Real.

Because confidence is preparation’s twin, to overcome any fear, you must: 1) understand the beast, and 2) tame the beast.

Three areas of prospecting:

  1. Hot Market – Close family & friends.

  2. Warm Market – Those you know well.

  3. Cold Market – Those you don’t know at all.

Three kinds of prospectors:

  1. Prospectors who don’t want to call Close Family & Friends, but will call their Warm Market and may reluctantly do Cold Market prospecting.

  2. Prospectors who don’t want to call Close Family & Friends, or their Warm Market, but claim that they want to do Cold Market prospecting.

  3. Prospectors who do only Cold Market prospecting.
