Setting Realistic Expectations
The truth…
You need to make sell-by-chat a daily habit to see results.
The mistakes we see?
People going all in, sending 1000 DMs, getting overwhelmed and never doing it again.
People are too scared to even try. If that’s you, the 'Prerequisites' and 'Common Excuses' sections are there to help you push past it.
And remember...
Some people just won’t want to chat with you. Some will ignore you. Others might outright reject you. And guess what? That’s perfectly fine.
You're not going to close every single person you chat with. That's not the goal. The goal is to build relationships, provide value, and let the right people self-select into working with you.
Here's a baseline to aim for:
Contacts per Day: Start with 25-30.
Reply Rate (30%): 7-9 replies.
Engagement Rate (50%): 3-5 conversations.
Call Booking Rate (20%): 1 call booked.
Show-Up Rate (80%): 0.8 calls attended.
Close Rate (50%): 0.4 sales/day.
At this rate, you'd make 1-2 sales per week working just 5 days.
As your skills improve and your reply rates climb, so will your results.
So ditch the excuses. Shift your mindset. And start chatting your way to sales...
