Friday’s Top 10: What to Do on a Rainy Day

I’m not sure where you are at reading this right now, but down here in Mississippi, we are getting a lot of rain. It actually got me thinking about a text I received earlier in the week from a rep over in Houston. He told me he was just staying in because of the downpour, and asked what I was up to.

My answer? Making service calls and prospecting.

Rain or shine, the grind doesn’t stop. In fact, I ended up swapping out a terminal for an existing client and knocked out two pre-scheduled appointments with prospective clients. I was working!

While a rainy day might tempt you to curl up and binge-watch Netflix, it’s actually one of the best times to gain an edge over your competition. Here is this week’s Friday Top 10 things you should be doing when the weather turns sour.

Friday’s Top 10: The Ali Siddiq “Father’s Day” Survival Guide

This Sunday is Father’s Day, and each year I always think about comedian Ali Siddiq’s hilarious bit on Father’s Day. Ali says Father’s Day is the most “un-choreographed” holiday in existence. While Mom gets a fully planned itinerary, Dad gets a generic card with a picture of a sailboat or a golf club on it (even if he doesn’t sail or golf), a plate of whatever food is left over, and exactly one hour and forty-five minutes of quiet time before someone walks in to ruin it.

Friday’s Top 10 Verticals I like to Target

I’ve learned that not all “open” signs are worth stopping for. I’ve spent the last few years refocusing my hit list, focusing on the spots where the average tickets are higher and the owners don’t mind cash discounting.

With Dual Pricing now being the standard, these are the niches where I’m seeing the biggest wins. When you can look a business owner in the eye and show them how to wiped out 100% of their processing costs on a $2,000 repair bill, the deal practically closes itself.

Here’s my personal Top 10 countdown for this Friday.
