you know in today's world

we don't wanna be seen as sales

and I hate sales is not a bad word

but to buyers as sales is could be seen as

I'm not looking to buy anything right now right

our job in sales is to build rapport by providing value

and leading people to our solution

if it's the right solution

hello hello

welcome to prospecting on purpose

and one of my goals is to make it more interactive

so I wanna first thank everyone for being here

and then second I want to welcome our guest

because this is a very special episode

I had to bring out a heavy hitter

and I am thrilled to welcome Bryn Tillman to the show

Bryn so happy to have you on

she is a cherish mentor and now friend of mine

and we met on LinkedIn

we are so lucky to have her for this first episode

so Bren welcome welcome

thank you so much

we've already got people chatting away on the live

and LinkedIn so I love that it's already engaging

awesome yeah

feel free and um

Bren I did not ask you this ahead of time

but we're gonna wrap up the episode right at the hour

market people have to drop

but if you have a couple more minutes

let's let's hey hold some time for questions

so please feel free to drop in the chat if we go um

if you wanna ask her specific questions

and dive deeper into some of our topics

we have a very value packed episode today

we're talking about AI and LinkedIn

best strategies for 2025

when it comes to social selling

so Bryn I wanna just start there

explain to us what does social selling mean

well

you could ask 100 LinkedIn and social selling trainers

and get 101 answers

but I really believe social selling is about

building rapport

and leading to relationships

through providing value and resources

earning the right to get the sales call hmm

so when we say social selling

oh yes we wanna sell

but we can't start off our relationships in sales mode

and we want to detach from what

that prospect is worth to us

and attach to what we are worth to that prospect

because when we can bring value

we earn the right to get the call

and I think the biggest challenge

when people are defining social selling is oh

this is a place I can go pitch

because that's what we think of when I'm selling

but I wanna look at social selling as a relationship

building

networking opportunity that leads to opportunities

I love that definition I

I describe it as

Stephen Cubby's emotional bank account

so

you have to just fill the other person's bank account

and what happens

especially on this particular platform on LinkedIn

people try to pull from an empty bank

and so I love the way you phrase

you have to earn the right to even ask for the meeting

or ask for the partnership

right you do it too soon

people feel like they've been duped

they've been scammed they've been you know

will they call a pitch slapped

is that what they call it right

all these I forget who says now your commission breath

commission breath right

all those things right

and and we can

much more quickly get a bad

reputation than build a good one

when we build it back right

and here's the difference

like if you're cold calling on the phone

and you leave a message and they're not interested

and they just delete

but when you can do this on LinkedIn

they see your company they see your profile

they see your face right

and we can really be challenged in building that

ugly sales reputation that use card person

hmm reputation

and you know in today's world

we don't wanna be seen as sales

and I hate sales is not a bad word

but to buyers as sales is could be seen as

I'm not looking to buy anything right now right

our job in sales is to build rapport by providing value

and leading people to our solution

if it's the right solution

so most of our buyers are

not actively looking for our services right now

so just cause they accepted our connection

request on Lincoln

does not make them a prosper through

right and so often

I'll say

treat them as if they were in a networking event

it is a human being not a lead hmm

you start a conversation

you find out what's important to them

you you know

identify and sometimes

what's important to them

has nothing to do with what's important to you however

if you know there's a good chance at one point

they would need your services

but they don't recognize it

that's where education and insights comes in right

we can plant seeds by providing insights and value

so just really quickly

I had a client that's in the

yesterday

that's in the property and casualty insurance

and she 100% said it is a financial decision

it's dollars to dollars

and I pulled back for a moment and I said well

like all

insurance is pretty much the same kind of conversation

so I said well

if you have the right insurance and the right coverage

and you're not over paying for coverage

you don't need or you don't have a gap

that's gonna cost you more money later

because you didn't have the right coverage

so what you're buying is the resource

the subject matter expert

who can ensure that the insurance you have

is the right insurance

and long term is the best decision

even if it's a little more dollars now

it saves them maybe millions of dollars later

because that gap has been filled

so what most people buy is ROI

return on that investment

not the actual investment

right and so that takes some time

and a lot of that is through education and insights

I love that engine yeah

no I'm right there with you

and I think what a good like line in the sand is

you have sales reps who are the pitch slappers

and then you have sales professionals

who are having a business conversation

and I think one big takeaway I had Bren

from from what you said was to think about LinkedIn

like a digital networking event

you wouldn't go up to someone and say

hey Bren

it looks like you struggle to dress yourself

do you want my fashion advice

you know and then when you don't respond oh

looks like this isn't a priority to you

you know you see those messages

and I think that's why I'm

excited to talk to you about this particular blend

because I'm gonna switch gears a little bit

and start dabbling in the AI waters

because it feels like the AI

resources we've seen out there is

obviously to automate our lives

make our lives easier

but when you're thinking from a sales

person perspective

are you just spamming a bunch of people

how do you blend the social selling

and the relationship building

and the human being piece with the technology

I think that's where I struggle yeah

so I love that so first

there is a difference between AI and automation

with LinkedIn I love automation in CRMs

I love automation in marketing

it is wrong in relationship building

so let like let's be really clear

in the same sense of

this is an online networking meeting

you would not send a robot to a networking meeting

to build relationships hmm

and that's what automation is doing on LinkedIn

the other thing is it does break

break LinkedIn's user agreement

eight point two point two

just us whether we like it or not

and and companies will say well

we are a completely legal

legitimate company and they're right

because LinkedIn cannot dictate

what those companies do

but they can dictate what their users agree to

so all that being said in my mind

automation on LinkedIn is a fail okay

No. 2 AI

well I'll say

most folks that I talk to have two challenges with AI

No.1 it's too complex to figure out and I

I just don't have the time to figure it out right

No. 2 it's not in my voice

it sounds very at you know

and I know I read a blog post and like

well in today's ever changing world like yeah

let's delve into blah blah blah

what I had this conversation with Bob Woods today

cause he uses the word delve

like for real in real persons

like I have to stop this I can't use it anymore anyway

which I think is really funny

so so um

where does chat EPT come in

well or AI

so we have asked

SSL dot

AI that we have built to solve a lot of these problems

but really

what it comes down to is using AI to personalize

and personalization is not necessarily at scale

the way we think of scale right

personalization is I've taken the time however

I've got some templates and I've got some things where

you know it's a general message that

simply by adding in someone's profile

you can download a PDF copy and paste

simply by adding their profile

I'm speaking directly to them in words that they use

hmm but it's still in my framework in my voice

and so I think that's the fine line

so I don't wanna look at AI as

um set it and forget it okay

but I wanna look at AI as the tool that helps us

personalize comments messages blog posts based on

our avatars or personas or um

you know what there's a

you know a million words for our client

you know what our client is

but it's it's

teaching AI to understand the voice

that you want expressed

including the prohibition

so so we have a six step framework

I'll go quickly okay

it's called crispy oh cute

okay

can't this is the prompt context

role

inspiration

scope

prohibitions and you okay

so what does that mean context

I would like a

a blog post on um

AI in marketing great

roll you are an award winning marketer

who understands AI better than anyone in the world

or maybe you are Neil Patel

you know or you want

you know whatever voice

whatever role you want the LLM

ours is ask SSL dot AI whatever you want that LLM to do

so that's roll and inspiration

now it's all about your you know

these are all the things the thoughts I have

the ideas that I have

the direction I'd like this to go in

as much as comes to mind that would be in um

your wish list of what this blog post will look like

at the end right

then there's scope I would like this to be 1,000 words

and search engine optimized

hmm

then we have prohibitions

p crisp p prohibitions are amazing

so prohibitions my I have two we taught No. 1

don't ever start a sentence with a prepositional phrase

in today's hmm and do not use the word Dell or Foss

do the words Dell or foster

so you're prohibiting the learning

the learning machine

to use those metrics when it creates the content

correct got it prohibition

so for sub so if you're in financial services

it's never use the word guarantee

right so there are lots of um

ways to use prohibitions

not just with words and phrases um

but I mean

it could you could say never name a competitor

oh yeah

so then there's you

and this is I think what brings it all together

and it's the magic potion

which is ask me all the questions

you need to complete this task

one at a time

oh that's cool

so now it's cause if you don't do that

it's gonna go and you've got your post

you've got your content you've got your message

whatever you're looking for

but when you ask that

it now become it will ask you at the

I cannot predict is it 3 questions or 5 questions

and the next time you run it

it might be different based on your answers right

it's the the LLM brain that says okay

for me to do all these things

for me to meet that inspiration

so the inspiration is really important

not just the blog post on this topic

but you need to say like this is the feel

I want them to feel compelled

I want them to have aha moments

that's all the inspiration

and then in the ask me all the questions

it now knows to ask you questions

that will lead to that

okay that is brilliant

so the prompt is crispy context roll inspiration

scope prohibitions you

and that you is ask me all of the questions

you need to know to complete this right

no more del for me I know

sorry Bob

and actually I want to give a quick shout out to Bob

because last season

we did an episode for 2024 LinkedIn Best practices

and that was the most shared episode of season 2

so kudos to Bob but also

that's why we wanted to continue the conversation

because so much has changed from 2024 to 2025

and obviously a big part of that is AI

so Bryn when it comes to LinkedIn

what are some other things

we can kind of look forward to

in the year in the year ahead

I mean the crispy already a game changer

the ask me interview questions one at a time

boom mic drop

keep going give us some more goodness please

all right

so I'll talk about two really major areas to focus on

one is leveraging your social proximity

and the other is the content that will convert

so your social proximity

you know you talk about proximity

it's all the people around me

my social proximity

are all the people I'm connected to right

and in LinkedIn

whether you have the Freelington or Sales Navigator

depending on which one you have

you can go deeper

you can narrow the scope of your existing connections

based on location industry roll

there's just a ton

and then you get into Sales Navigator

and it could be by funding or

or seek executive change jobs right

like there's so much you can do

but the goal is to map out your social proximity

uh that is aligned with your ICP

your ideal client prospect

so who am I already connected to

that meets the criteria essentially

who have I been ignoring all this time right

who who are who's in my

my list that I haven't talked to in a while

and you know

it's really interesting what you start to find because

you know LinkedIn tells us that there's a 20% turnover

year over year so

that means one out of five

people that we're talking to is gonna be gone

next year

and one out of five people we talked to last year

is gone this year hmm right

so by taking inventory of our existing connections

we're gonna create some aha

moments of art for ourselves

oh look she moved here

oh my gosh he got promoted right

like

and often when I'm working with clients around this

taking inventory

there are dozens of untapped opportunities

in their existing connections

so that's the first thing right

and we can look at your social proximity

really could have almost four quadrants right

so it's gonna be first degree connection decision maker

let's see if I could do this off the top of my head

without any first degree connection

decision maker

the second quadrant is first degree connection

influencer

so someone in the company maybe I sell to the CEO

but my first degree connection is the CFO got it sales

right so

someone in that company

that can get me to the decision maker

it may even be someone who's involved in the process

but not the checkerator right

so they may be

the next quadrant is a second degree

to my decision maker my client knows

so my first degree is 1st degree

connected with my prospect

the so right so it's a second degree connection

but I have a warm connection

who has a warm connection with my prospect right

either a very strong networking partner or client like

and we can start to leverage those relationships to

to grow our pipeline smart

the fourth the fourth quadrant not as strong

but it does convert

which is second degree to an influencer right

so you know

so it's my first degrees inside the company

and then my second degrees

and to that I think is some of the best

um activities sales can do in 2025 and beyond

but like map out there their web of connections

and you know

it's so funny cause if you think about this

like ever like an in person networking event

if I know Bryn and I realize Brin know so and so

hey Brin you let's go over and say hi to him

you know and it's so funny too

because I think that our networks are a lot

bigger than we realize

like I there's a comment in here from someone

I went to high school with

hi Chris I got a

I did a sales kickoff earlier this week with

somebody else I grew up with

so it's been you know

30 years since we were buddies besties

but that person generated revenue for me

because we've been starting to reconnect on LinkedIn

so it's been really cool to realize like yeah

like even I messaged someone the other day

I haven't spoken to in seven years

an instant response so great to hear from you

and to your point Bryn

they moved now

they're the owner of XYZ business

that's in the field that I'm chasing

so it's just so

but you have to carve out the time to do

and I think that's the gap I see

is people don't always

see the value to carve out the time

so I'm so grateful you're walking through this

well you know um

one of the we've got all our little kitschy phrases

right um

I twenty one tenants of social selling

but you know

one that is vital is we need to slow down our outreach

to speed up our outcome hmm right

just cause you go fast

doesn't mean you get the best ROI

I'm gonna come back to the return on your investment

so you could go really really fast in prospecting and

and there's value in that

your call calling a huge list

you touch a lot of people

whatever there for some people

there's real value in going fast

in parallel

we need to go a little slower too or stand alone

it just depends on what you want to accomplish right

and so the slowing it down is a deeper connection

it's still a numbers game

uh huh else is but it's

you know I have really defined

who I wanna have conversations with

I've identified what's meaningful to them

now we're gonna get into the content anyway

so this is perfect right

so so we've identified what's meaningful to them

and recognize what's meaningful to them is probably

almost definitely not what you wanna share with them

so talk about that for a moment right

for a moment right

so you know

we've got to nurture not so LinkedIn is a slower game

but it's uh it's so it's networking right

like you go to a networking meeting it takes you

you know

45 minutes to get dressed and a half hour to get there

and two hours for the meeting and an hour home

like it's an investment of time

but you've met deeper relationships there

than you could have

making cold calls thousand percent

and it's really hard to reject someone

after you've met them

it's hard to just ignoring ghosts someone you met

so so

so networking on LinkedIn is an event

it is not okay

I love it okay

right so

so should I jump into the content

yeah that'd be great alright

so content

we have to identify content that resonates with her

buyers actually should hit five things

now a caviar

not all your content has to do what I'm about to say

but the content that converts does

so you can have contents I went to an event

my favorite content in 2025 is Saturday night

taking a sit well

wasn't quite a selfie

because the salesperson actually took the picture

but our picture

which our friend Janice sent us in a send out card

which is now in my refrigerator

right mine for my wall

so right yeah

so um

where I oh

so post don't all have to be what I'm about to say

they can be lots of other things

they could be events they get lots of things

but if you wanna post that is going to convert

meaning we take a worker who

who consumes that content

and then takes a compelling action

so we know they're there

so we've moved them from lurker to engage her

so the first thing it needs to do is

resonate with the buyer

so why does resonate with the buyer matter

because I'm scrolling

or you sent me something in my inbox and I'm scanning

so I need to immediately go

oh this is for me

and sometimes it's literally calling out their title

and industry hmm

that will get them to go oh

this is this is the niche

this is for me

the second thing you need to do is create

enough curiosity

so like that's a fast reaction resonate

create curiosity cause if I don't create curiosity

I'm not gonna keep reading right

No.3 and this is 3 and 4 go together but No. 3 is

teach them something new that creates an aha moment

so

the insurance person

if they go out there saying and I'm making like I

I

I try not to use a stack cause it would be all made up

but if the insurance person went out there and said

72% of commercial insurance

um

uh coverage policies

not my world now so yeah um

are not appropriately

appropriately aligned with customers

risk talk or risk stuff right

I I

I gotta get better right

yeah yeah right

so so now the I go okay

so now how do I make so 72% making right

but 72% of CEOs in manufacturing

have misaligned commercial insurance

that may put them at huge financial risks

okay so if I'm an executive at manufacturing

or even in that industry to

or trying to sell another industry

I'm stopping the scroll

oh that's a big number now

don't use a stat that I just made up that stat

but that's the point right

go Google you can find stats to back up almost anything

as long as you have research somewhere right

so okay

so now I need to teach them something new

so it could be

and I should not be playing in the insurance world

but I am now right

so so it should be something like

there are five areas in a policy where

manufacturing is typically undercovered because

and three places where they are

overcharged for things they don't need

all right so now go oh

I never looked at that

so what I just did not only taught them in aha moment

like oh

I know what to go do but No. 4 is

it

gets me thinking differently about my current coverage

right or my current insurance broker

that didn't ask me

the same questions that I'm getting asked

in this blog post hmm hmm oh yeah

and then No. 5 is I'm back to that compelling moment

right so I go

you know

I like it I comment maybe I look at their profile

maybe I ask them to connect

but I move them

that content now moves them from reading it

to engaging they come out of the woodwork

cause

I can't start a conversation with someone until I know

who they are okay

make sense so that's

that's really where the

the content that converts is the piece

like you can do content all day

but the five

elements are what's gonna actually move the needle

and start the engagement

which then gives you the opportunity to earn the right

to ask for the meeting

or ask for the business boom

oh I loved it Brandon

could you um

I mean we are just rolling

and I have so many more questions for you

are you good to go for like another fifteen

I am you don't have me

okay fill the bottle

I have a whole hour scheduled

because I thought we would chat afterwards

I know well

let's keep chatting with our audience here um

because I have a couple more things I wanna ask you to

and then um

obviously we'll we'll keep you all up for questions

thank you so much for engaging in the chat

I'm having so much fun

and I see seems like a lot of our listeners are too

um with the content that converts I

you know I think that there's on my LinkedIn feed

I see a lot of people like myself

like entrepreneurs or

or self employed individuals using

creating content to

establish themselves as a thought leader

but also trying to create content that converts

but I think there's an area like

I look back at my corporate sales roll

and I was not using LinkedIn

in the remotely powerful way that you

were laying it out for us

so let's maybe walk through like

one more example of combining these different elements

you're talking about like

using the AI to make sure that we're creating

content and prompts that are relevant for our

audience that we're targeting

obviously leveraging our social um

our social capital or our social

social proximity thank you

oh yeah there's a box of nails gonna get there

and then creating content that converts

can we like wrap that all up in another example

for maybe like a b to B sales person who is

my background was a lot of architects and developers

and they all work with each other

and I wasn't using LinkedIn

and in a way I think I could have to really set

stand out

and really be a face of my own personal brand

but a face of my company

and really establish that leadership

so I'd like to spend some time there

yeah so um

we could talk about like campaigns for example

like we're gonna go when I think of sales

you know if we go at it like a campaign

so um

let's start with a prospect bipolar okay

so I wanna start to identify

what content is a top priority

for manufacturers right

and so I put out a poll and I have um

you know what

what do you see is the biggest risk in 2025 right

and then a B

C and then d is always um

other sharing comments the reason is

people get annoyed if their answer isn't there

or they wanna say all of the above

or so we always give them that option so

um so we do a poll and they answer the poll

and then you go oh

everyone that answered No. 2 is has this need

everyone that answered No. 1 has this need

so now I'm gonna either maybe I could create a little

um white paper

so how do I use AI

I take those answers and I put in a really good prompt

using the crispy formula

and I put in a really good prompt that says

you know I

the context is I want you to

write a report based on poll

answers from this question

the role

you are a research analyst and a Nobel prize author

whatever right best selling New York Times author

so those are your two roles

the inspiration is I wanna convey all of the um

the perspectives from the voters um

my scope is yeah

I wanna make sure there's a page for each answer

whatever

and then my prohibitions are oh did I yeah

um don't use any prepositional phrases

and don't use the word delver foster

then my why is

ask me all the questions you need to complete this

so now I run that and it's gonna say well

what was the question

and then it'll say well what were the answers

and it'll say how many

people answered each of these and then

and then so now I can answer that

and I get a little tiny report

maybe I even say not report

I want a blog post based on this okay

so now what do I do

I've got this blog post and I have 72 people that voted

and nine of them are prospects

so I'm gonna go out to those prospects

and I'm gonna go okay

now I have this blog post that came from my verbiage

and the actual poll

and I'm gonna go out to those nine people and say

thank you so much for voting on the poll

and putting out a blog post

I would love to get a quote from you

hmm clued on why you answered this

and so I reach out to 9

and three of them schedule with me

and I get quotes from them

and now I mention them and

you know I've had a conversation

I'm building rapport

and now I can come back after it's all out

and I share it with their colleagues

I socially surround their colleagues with the report

with their quote so I've been vetted internally

simply because I'm having conversations with the boss

or whatever right

um and now I take that um

the

that that all the information I send it to new people

hey I'm gonna do another poll

I would do another poll send it to new people and say

here

I want to show you what the last poll turned out to be

vote on this poll and I can interview you right

it becomes a whole thing but now how do we convert that

right like okay

so we've all these conversations

how do I convert this

well comes down to this

Sarah thank you so much for your insights

um really

I think it's gonna bring a lot of value to our readers

um I hope you don't mind

but when we were chatting

I heard you say this and I've been thinking about this

and I got some ideas for you

are you open to a second call

okay I love it right

we've earned the right

we've built the rapport and we're asking permission

we're not spamming we're not

I have ideas for you now

we have permission to share our ideas

you know what's so cool about that brand is I think

you know

everyone's out there saying authentic connections

relationships you need to establish relationships

and nobody's giving like the step by step how to do it

especially more efficient

streamlined and with intentionality

so I love that something as simple as a LinkedIn poll

I would feel like I hope everyone on this

on our live feed is gonna

you know put a pull out next week

because the pull

then generates the opportunity to reach back to people

to prospect by interview to use your language and

and get them on the phone to give a quote

you said

something else that I thought was really powerful

now if I interview you know

Jane Smith at XYZ firm

now I might be able to ping Joe Billy and Gary

you know at the same firm

because I can have that little social proof

that I met Jane and she and I are connected

and she is part of the

content that I've built with her expertise

and my right

and so the way I mean I went through this so quickly

but the way I do this is Joe recently interviewed Jane

she had some great insights

let's connect them happy to send you a link to the post

love it okay

that's cool

because I think and but that obviously takes time

you have to think

and so I like that you used the word campaign

I think carving out the time to slow that heat up yeah

I mean the quantity versus quality

the days of like the boiler room ringing the bell

I think that's over in some ways

maybe some industries

but in an in person networking event

like we're talking on a LinkedIn

I love these examples are so helpful

so to

a couple people in chat

were asking for me to just kind of go through the

so the first one is resonate with your buyer

second one is create curiosity

third one is teach them something new

that creates an aha moment

the fourth one is what they just Learned

gets them thinking differently about

the way they're doing it now right

No. 5 is create the compelling moment

get move them from worker to engager

so thank you that was excellent

and then I wanna talk a little bit about

cause you mentioned it a couple times

but you have built your own AI Learned

Learned language machine so a large language

but model but

but the LLM but I know could be a million things

so we built a um

ask SSL dot AI

which actually leverages open AI

but it solves all the problems we had with AI

the biggest one is

I've got different clients with different voices

I sell to manufacturing and I thought the flower shops

I don't know right

like very different messaging

and as your track GPT perplexity

whatever is learning

it gets confused right so

so that's number one No. 2

I have to reteach it things all the time

hmm right

like it's it doesn't have

even though it has instructions

it's it

it doesn't get it and it even in the same chat

it starts over and it's you know

and I'm like I told you that five chats up or whatever

right so that's one problem

the other is we had

cause we're obsessive compulsive about prompt writing

cause we love it so much um

and I may I'm gonna make an executive decision

both Stan and Bob are on here

but look out for our new book Prompt Writing Made Easy

um okay

we're very excited um

but you know that it's

how do you save your prompts and use them over

you've got a great prompt

how do I use it over again

um

because we've got to start over a thank you my friend

um how do you like

how do you save that and use it and perfect it

and you know

so we've got a great prompt

where do you save it how do you grab it

how do you improve it

the other thing is

so I have chats that I do with someone

and then I wanna find it three months later right

so ask SSL allows you to categorize by client

we can name it so I have my Sarah Marie

I have two chats for us right I have

right but I had like

I have

but and if I wanna look

you are you know

you are I think you're under member right

cause you're a member of our

of our community um

so it really allows us to um

organized a organized

have consistency um

I I

it's not an easy button

but it's definitely an easier button right

like it's definitely um

and and you can

you can continue to build on

on it so I see a lot of yeah

oh Bob just put in the name of the book a perfect

and when it's ready

I can link it back to this thread too

so it lives in this in this thread

it will be prompt writing made easy

com but it's not yet okay perfect

well and I think what is so fun about

you know you and your business and your team

you know hi Bob and Stan and gunner

you know you can just see how much has changed

even in the past year

and it's so wild cause we know it's not slowing down

we know it's just ramping up

and so I appreciate that you took all the different

you know areas where it wasn't serving you

and then built a tool around it

so um

ask SSL dot AI I put it up there

we will all put it in the show notes to this will be um

repurposed

and also live on the prospecting on purpose podcast

we can wrap up our formal interview

but then I'd love to you know

people have questions

I saw one question we haven't yet answered

um so

we'll hang on to

answer a couple more questions while we have brand

but I wanna thank everyone for being here

thank you so much for um for

tuning into the first live episode of

prospecting on purpose thank you for having me

oh God like that

we just you know

we're both sales people so it's like we'll be fine

it'll be fun and I have

one question that we didn't get a chance to answer

through the thread was talking about the quadrant

so you were going through your um

your first degree connections

1st degree to an influencer

2nd degree to the prospect

and then 2nd degree to an influencer

do you is

does that quadrant live somewhere online

or have a visual in a presentation

um

we're I'm sure it's not our 12 week

I'm gonna

where do I find it I mean

our 12 session course I'm sure it's in there

um and we probably even have an e book out there okay

so what I would say is um

connect with stand by board myself

um and just say hey

I'm looking for that quadrant

and I'm pretty sure I have a blog post out there

I know I have

yes okay awesome

we'll get it to you but essentially um

it's influence and relationship

right so

the strength of the influence

and the strength of the relationship

so the top right is the strongest

you've got high influence

high relationship

right the bottom would be um

high relationship lower influence

got it so um

and that's that's kind of the way the quadrant works

but I'll get this so okay

and I'll link it in the show notes for this episode too

so this episode will live on

on the prospecting on purpose podcast

I wanna thank everyone so much for tuning in

um

hopefully this is the first of a monthly live episode

I wanna thank Bryn Tillman for being my friend um

you know we met

I don't remember where that goes off to look

but I think I know exactly how I got into your world

funnel yeah

and world and and I am part of the membership group

I love the whole group shout out to

you know everyone in the membership group um

I just get so much value out of you and your knowledge

and the team but also

I think that it really shows the power of

using this network correctly

because I feel so

I'm just gonna like be mushy for a second

like I feel I feel proud of myself

that I've been able to meet

all of these different people

out in the world that I've never met in person

you and I had a flight you know

out of New Jersey so

I was able to spend some time together in person

with you and take it off of the computer

but I just want to kind of to set the tone for 2025

remember that everyone here is here to help each other

people are happy to help on this reciprocity

I love that you talk about the social selling part

cause I do think that sales is something honorable

and if you do it right you're helping solve problems

and so thank you for being an inspiration
