I've become an enormous Apprentice lover. Thursday nights you'll find me glued to the tv screen, enthusiastic, focused and wondering who'll be shot next. I am ready to bet that lots of my readers share that passion. I have taken up to pointing to Donald Trump, when I speak about Getting Past the Palace Guard, the secretaries, receptionists, assistants, voice-mail, anybody and/or whatever blocks access. The question I ask: 'If Donald Trump were to call your prospect and that prospect's secretary were to say to him, 'What's this in mention of'? what do you consider Donald Trump would say'? That question always instances much discussion. The overall consensus of opinion, but, is the fact that Donald Trump may possibly say, 'This really is Donald Trump. Is she there'? Another example: If Barbra Streisand calls Steven Spielberg at DreamWorks and Steven's assistant says to her, 'What is this in reference to'? This is what Barbara won't say: 'I am a singer and a celebrity and a company and maybe you have observed a few of my films'? She'd probably say, 'This really is Barbra Streisand. Is he there'? I understand that many of you will now tell me, 'But Wendy, I am not famous.' It does not matter. I'm ready to guess that Donald Trump and Barbra Streisand might have said a similar thing 30-years ago before they were popular. I am willing to bet that 30-years ago they had almost the same self-confidence, confidence and sense of entitlement that they've now. It was that assurance, self-confidence and sense of entitlement that helped them reach where they're now. Let us speak about your prospects and change gears for a minute. Which kind of people are they? They are businesses. What does it mean to be a employer? How can a manager react? First of all, companies are decision-makers. That is what we call them and that is what they do. They are used to making decisions. They also have at least some power to be able to implement their decisions. They provide direction and assume the direction to be adopted. Most likely, at the very least in their company character, they've assurance and self-confidence. These are traits that managers or leaders share and these traits influence what sort of employer or a leader acts. There has been many, many books and articles written about the art of fabricating relationship with prospects. Frequently what it boils down to is being as you can be without mimicking or copying them as like the possibility. Your prospect might find you as being like them, when you are able to do this well. That prospect is then more prone to feel comfortable with you and want to work with you and spend some time with you. Let us just take a step further and talk about secretaries and assistants. The assistant will see you to be a boss, if you behave like a boss, i.e., with authority, self-confidence and assurance. Other companies are friends with her employer. The secretary can give more urgency, importance and worth for your phone when she believes one to become a look of her boss. Here is my suggestion for speaking with the Palace Guard: Go into Boss Mode. Talk to assurance, self-confidence and authority. Provide direction to that assistant, 'Please inform (your prospect) that (your name) from (your company) is on the point.' And give direction just like you were speaking with your own assistant. (It's ok should you not need a secretary or assistant today. One-day you very well may. Understand this as practice.) Be polite and firm. Give your guidelines in a manner that says you anticipate your direction to be adopted. (How can you think Donald Trump would say it?) I know that I'll get some e-mails here, from individuals who will tell this process to me is rude. It's maybe not rude to speak confidently and self-assurance. And, if you use this approach, you'll find that your power to reach prospects will rise somewhat.
