There was a great scene in the show "Billions", where billionaire Bobby "Axe" Axelrod was put in a position where had to go out and beg for money.
He hit a rough patch in his business, and he had no other option but to visit the Wall Street boardrooms of people that he hates, to do a "dog
and pony" show to get some of these people on board with him.
Dressed in a stuffy suit, which was different than his usual attire (jeans and a t-shirt), he dragged along books and binders for his canned presentation and groveled like a beggar.
One group after another took great delight in telling Axe
"no".
Frustrated after another rejection, he stood on the sidewalk and noticed a clothing store with some casual clothes in the window.
He ripped his tie and blazer off, chucked them in a garbage can, and waltzed into the store.
In the next scene, he stormed into a boardroom in his preferred clothes, dished out his pitch without a filter, and nabbed the prize he was looking for.
I know it's just a TV show, but there's a lesson in there:
Sometimes you have to forget the industry norms, and just be yourself. Chances are
you'll do better that way.
For coaches, that means they don't have to send copied-and-pasted spam DMs all day long, or regurgitate templates they bought from some guru for $17.
That's why I like Pat Henseler and Connect
365's "Micro Megaphone Method", which is all about being yourself and building real relationships ...
Pat will be sharing more in his masterclass this Thursday, and we'd love to see you there.
