A BATH WITHOUT A PLUG
Ever known what its like to turn the taps on in the bath and leave without checking the plug is in?
According to Michelle Moore, “Not following up with your prospects is the same as filling up your bathtub without first putting the plug in the drain.”
You are in business to make sales, right? Sales leads to profit. If you don’t have the leads coming in, you can’t expect profit.
But what’s the point of having all the leads coming in (water coming out the tap) if you aren’t following them up (putting the plug in)
In the words of Bernand Kelvin Clive “Either you follow-up or you fold up”
Studies have also shown that most people buy after the 8th contact point. So follow up, follow up, follow up.
Try making your follow up’s personal. Actually pick up the phone and call them. Don’t hide behind a email.
Even if they aren’t interested in your proposal, take the opportunity to ask how business is going for them. Take the time to build a relationship that if the chance did arise in the future that they need a product you supply, chances are they will call you first.
Business is relationships.

WHY LIVING AT AIRPARKS IS BOOMING
The concept of residential airparks first gained traction after World War II, a time period when the United States had an incredible abundance of both airfields and pilots. In order to put countless deactivated military strips across the nation to good use and to accommodate a pilot population that had ballooned from fewer than 34,000 in 1939 to more than 400,000 by 1946, the Civil Aeronautics Administration proposed the construction of 6,000 residential airparks throughout the country.
For many pilots, the thought of stepping out of the house, getting into an airplane and taxiing just a few hundred feet to the runway — all without ever touching a car door — is the ultimate fantasy
With the airport just a couple hundred feet from your doorstep, the traditional barriers and excuses that stop many of us from taking that evening joy ride or making that short hop across town — whether it be a lack of time, a reluctance to make the drive to the airport or one of the numerous other distractions that steal our attention — fall away.
Instead, we’re left with more occasions to enjoy that one-of-a-kind feeling that comes from hopping in the left seat, inhaling that cockpit smell we know so well and feeling the Earth sink below us as we pull back on the yoke.
What better way to enjoy that feeling than to live in a community where it can be shared and appreciated by like-minded friends.
For commuters, living in an airpark makes it truly feasible and, in many cases, more economical to use an airplane to get where their schedules demand. For recreational pilots, fly-in communities provide a means and a strong incentive to enjoy flying on a more regular basis.
There are many thriving airparks around Australia that have really embraced this concept and they have created airparks with such a homely and welcoming feel about them.
Foster your addiction to flying.
