Ooooh…man, you know how tempting it was to just write that and leave! Gotta watch myself. Sometimes the Id just takes over!

Offer something that they want! It absolutely doesn’t matter who or what your target is. They function the same. When you have what they want (or need) they will come to you.

The question is:

“What time have you taken to get to know your target?”

Target is such a cold word but it fits. Assassins call it their “mark”. Prior to creating the party, have you asked the questions and listened to the stories about what is wanted or needed?

Ask.

Listen.

Ask again.

Listen more.

Create.

Rinse and repeat.

It might even work with our wives but, oh Lord, don’t let them know we’re referring to them as “targets”!

But it's gotta be genuine. From a business perspective I think when we're real, and we offer products or services that actually make people's lives simpler, or more enjoyable, that shows a lot of care.

But it has to be true relational. Don't make me feel like I am just another sale or you will never see me again. Hey Justin, relational works for better than anything else I find.
