You need to recognise the fact that no one owes you anything and stop acting entitled.
You need to put yourself in the shoes of the person to that you are speaking. The most valuable aspect of someone is their time so you need to think to yourself “ What are their interest are and what do they actually want” so that you can give them an incentive to free up their valuable asset which is their time and if you cannot do that then it makes me quite worried because that is a very big inability to succeed in life because it shows that you cannot put yourself in someone’s shoes and that is a big skill in sales.
So let’s say that you want to find a mentor, I recommend actually imagining what they’re day to day is. for example, as you all know I work closely with BlackBezoz and I understood that he is a very very busy individual so immediately I thought “How can I free up some of his time and in return I can form a connection with him” and I messaged him and offered to help out in his group for absolutely free of charge which I then made sure to be the most hard-working man in the whole team and compete with everyone because i know that if I wanted to be close with someone that has a lot of connections and very knowledgable I had to prove and show that I am worthy of being in the group with him. I also recognised that he gets probably hundreds of DMS of people asking for stuff from him etc so to separate yourself from everyone else you need to offer something to the person and make sure you do it to the best of your ability. Go forward in time and now I have taken over the game and built a brand to what it is now.
Also, the place where you are asking to talk to the person you want matters a lot!. The worst place to try to talk to someone especially if they have a huge following is they’re dms because they get more or less the same questions such as “ Le’s go have a coffee so I can pick your brain”, “ can I work for you” etc so the Instagram dms is probably not a good start to message them. I recommend researching where the person probably gets the lowest engagement as there is less competition from people wanting their time. Linkedin? Emails? Twitter?
Let’s pretend now you got the person’s attention. Put your ego aside and you need to appeal to the persons ego and make them feel good about themselves.
eg,
“hi Walid, i have read every single one of your DailyFinance newsletter and i know that you have no time. I am 17 years old and my dream is to build a brand like WifiMoney, i have great knowledge of “ Real Estate” and it would be a pleasure to write one of your newsletters plus my friend works in “X” and i will write up a description of what WifiMoney is etc etc.
From this, you have highlighted the person’s problems, you have stroked his/her ego and you have provided something of value to him.
If i read that then i will immediately accept the offer and so anyone else because you hit all the correct points.
Also, stop messaging people with “Yo”. I can guarantee that whoever you are reaching will just open and close the message.
Hope you enjoyed today’s newsletter and make sure you apply it to your life.
