I have turned down many lead gen agencies, AI agencies, marketing agencies, and all kinds of “growth experts.” I am sure you have this problem too.
Someone books a Teams or Zoom meeting with you, then sends a million follow-up messages, not respecting your time.
You join the meeting, and the first thing they ask: “Tell me about your practice. What services do you offer? Where are you? Who are you?” 😡🤯🙄🤦♂️ Zero research before the meeting, and somehow you are the one expected to run the class.
You take time out of a busy schedule, join the meeting, and then they ask, “Have you watched our video?” Which runs 45 minutes to an hour of nonsense. Then the questions start coming like you are the one at a job interview. I have hung up on many meetings like that.
Hey, it is an AI world. Use AI tools. Research me. Understand my business. Come prepared if you want my business.
That is exactly why I understand the pain. That is also why my team and I do things differently.
When someone books a Teams or Zoom meeting with us, we come prepared. We research your practice before the meeting: what you do, the patients you serve, the problems you are likely facing, and where we can help.
We do not spend the meeting asking basic questions. We come in with ideas, solutions, and a clear understanding of what may work for your practice. I am on most strategy meetings myself, so you talk to me directly, not just a salesperson.
Our mindset is simple. We treat you like you are already our customer before you even become one.
That means we show up prepared. We respect your time. We bring solutions to the table. That is why most of our Teams and Zoom meetings turn into business.
So we learned the lesson: be the change. As Elon Musk put it, “Some people don’t like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.” The world is changing, and many don’t. 🙂
