It’s never been a better time
The truth about being too busy and why it is self defeating
Happy Friday 👋
The single biggest objection I get from clients is…
I’m too busy right now 👎️
Which, for most of us, is a very relatable objection.
But I’m here to explain why that’s a losing mindset
lets play this out… 😉
Okay great, you aren’t ready to start running ads because you’re too busy.
If we agree and say great, we will follow up in 3 months…
then we both are assuming you aren’t going to be busy in 3 months…
Which most of us know that the “busyness” doesn’t just go away
But let’s just say it does… 😁
Great, we hit you with an email or with an ad and you sign up for our services
We build your inbound machine and you start getting a good number of new, qualified prospects within 60 days.
Awesome!
But hold up…
Now you’re busy again… 🙃
We start to have trouble getting ahold of you for marketing lead syncs
We struggle to make tactical AB tests rooted with your product expertise because you’re BUSY
Then performance starts to decline…
As a result…
You get a lil less busy and now you start to question of what we are doing is working
But all along we were just trying to get a hold of you
After 30 days of a lower # of qualified leads, you give up and churn 🫠
So what happened?
If you use the excuse that you’re too busy to try something that you know you should be doing then…
You are just delaying an inevitable problem that will continue to occur for you…
Over and over…
So what do we recommend? 🧠
Well, truthfully the best time to do something is now…
If you are sold on its effectiveness and understand it’s need…
Then do it.
Don’t wait.
Because if you only want to do the thing when you’re not busy then it won’t ever stick when you are.
How are we practicing this? (A Practical Example)
For us, this is rooted in content
As an agency we know that content is something we must be doing
Now more than ever, trust is crucial to win more deals and prevent client churn
So although we are busy, we make time for content (like this newsletter & our podcast)
It’s up to you… but we recommend not using the busy excuse anymore (especially if you’re on a call with us ;))
