THIS WEEK'S FOCUS:
The 3 Lies Killing Your Pipeline (and How to Fix Them Before Q3)

Giphy
Let's be honest — summer slowdown is real. But it's not the market's fault. It's yours if you're falling for these 3 lies:
Lie #1: "Everyone's out of office." Reality: Your competitors think that. Which means you can book twice as many calls if you just keep showing up.
Lie #2: "Email is dead." Nope. Bad cold email is dead. Personalized, relevance-driven sequences still convert. Audit yours — would YOU reply?
Lie #3: "I need more leads." What you need is a tighter offer and a better follow-up system. Double your close rate before you double your ad spend.
This week: pick one of these lies you've been telling yourself. Kill it. Then execute.
