After being in the “biz” for a long time, Ryan realizes it is for deeper purposes than just selling and making good money… For him it’s being there through the peaks and valleys with his customers because that’s a unique dynamic. And now he feels like he goes on more “warm calls” because of referrals. When he does go on true cold calls, his hope is in finding what he can empathize with the prospects on and how they can connect on those points.
Ryan feels that in his market in California that it is a very challenging climate with minimum wage increasing and the regulations and pressure, so it has become his mission of sorts to empathize with those pressure points and show them how he can bring them to the surface, so they can identify them and begin to work through them together.
