Are you letting your ambition get in the way of being cool?
I get it. You want to sell. You have an objective. You earn commission on the end result, not the little stuff that it takes to get there.
But be disciplined.
Work Directly with Torlando Hakes
Skip the color choice stress. Work directly with me as your personal Color Designer to select the perfect architectural palette for your home, and get a Complementary Color Consultation when you purchase paint through us.
People need to know who you are first. They need to know what your company is. They need to know what your company stands for. They need to know about the successes of your customers. They need to know about your products. They need to know about your company’s reputation and if you can deliver results. Then you can start selling.
Stop introducing yourself with a pitch. It’s the worst and completely unmemorable.
Lead with being yourself.
I believe that conversation is the number one business tool that anyone can have. And I’m continually trying to get better at having conversations. So I’d love to have a conversation with you. It can be about anything. I’d love to hear how you are doing in business and what big nuts you’re trying to crack. I’m an open book.
