The 5 stages to booking work

-Lead prospecting -> Cold outreach -> positive response -> cultivation -> right place right time.  That’s my step-by-step plan for landing work. Let’s talk about the “positive response” stage real quick. ⬇️

-For cold outreach a “positive response” is not a job opportunity (although that’d be great, it’s not what to expect). It can be a lot of things but what you’re aiming for is just someone to acknowledge your presence with positivity. “Sure, send me a demo.” “Thanks for reaching out, we’ll keep you in mind.” “not looking rn but keep in touch.” THAT’S IT. Our goal with cold outreach is just to be acknowledged. Cultivation and right place right time is how you land the gig
