How To Get A Meeting With Anyone with Stu Heinecke Digital Prospecting Podcast

- Marketing
Believe it or not, there are more than 32.5 million small businesses in the United States, which account for 99.9 percent of all the businesses in the nation.
In a space where the competition is stiff and challenging, how can you ensure that you are growing and meeting with your target market?
In this episode, Jimmy welcomes Stu Heinecke, the “Father of Contact Marketing” and author of the book "How To Get A Meeting With Anyone" to talk about getting a meeting with people rather than just closing the deal. He shares the importance of connecting with enterprise level decision makers in order to be successful in selling. Stu emphasizes that if you can't get meetings, you can't sell and that connecting with others is essential for success in life.
Stu believes that the key to creating an effective contact campaign is to do something outrageous that will make people stop and take notice. He believes that by doing something different, he can get an unfair advantage in sales calls. He also thoroughly discusses the Weed Process, his strategies, and his new book "How to Grow Your Business Like a Weed".
Who’s the Guest?
Stu Heinecke started his career combining marketing with a one-in-a-million mentorship with top cartoonists from The New Yorker, resulting in a new genre of direct mail and hundreds of record-breaking campaigns for some of the world’s biggest direct marketers. A twice-nominated hall of fame marketer, bestselling business author and Wall Street Journal cartoonist, Stu’s first book, How to Get a Meeting with Anyone, was named one of the Top 64 Sales Books of All Time.
His latest release, How to Grow Your Business Like a Weed, lays out a complete model for explosive business growth, based on the strategies, attributes and tools weeds use to grow, expand, dominate and defend their turf. The Total Weed Award from Stu’s book is a new collaboration with the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center and a major business news outlet, to recognize weed-like growth among entrepreneurs, startups and investors.
Stu has collaborated with several of the world’s top management, ideation, sales, branding and publishing experts to produce a series of small-group/high-dollar strategy sessions in bucket-list locations, including Vail, the Louvre, Dubai, Barcelona and Sedona.
His story is currently under consideration for a reality TV show, tentatively titled “Chief Weed Officer.” He lives on a beautiful island in Puget Sound, Washington.
