How Many People Do I Need to Talk To?

This is helpful if you need more customers but do not know how many conversations it may take to reach your goal.

Example: cleaning business leads
If you want 20 cleaning jobs and already have 5, you still need 15 more jobs. If 2 out of every 10 people usually book, you may need to talk to about 75 people. That does not mean 75 strangers in one day. It means you need a simple plan for conversations, follow ups, referrals, and local visibility.
Step 1
Decide how many sales, clients, jobs, or bookings you still need.
Step 2
Estimate how many people usually buy out of every 10 who ask.
Step 3
Turn the result into a simple daily conversation and follow up plan.
