Ep. 91 Why your warm network leads aren't buying

In this week’s Rocket Ship Founder Podcast, we dive into a common yet perplexing scenario many founders face: having a great network and product, yet struggling to convert meetings into sales. Through a real-life example and personal insights, we explore the root causes and provide practical strategies to overcome this challenge. Episode Highlights: • A founder’s dilemma: great network, positive conversations, but no sales. • The hidden trap of relying on warm introductions without addressing pressing pains. • Importance of identifying and solving significant pain points for potential clients. Three Keys to Making the Most Out of Warm Network Conversations: 1. Treat Warm Network Meetings Like Cold Ones: • Approach each conversation with fresh eyes, focusing on the potential client’s needs and pain points. 2. Understand Why They Took the Call: • Clarify the motivations behind their interest and what they hope to achieve. 3. Adopt an Assess vs Impress Mindset: • Focus on understanding and addressing their problems rather than just showcasing your product.
