    150 Architect Meetings Later: The Follow-Up Strategy That Actually Works | Ep: 134

    Ever notice how the work you do attracts more of the same work? Harry and Jay from Ellson Property Group were stuck in exactly that cycle 18 months ago - doing carports, decks, and small renovations. Good work, but not where they wanted to be. Then everything changed. In this episode, they share how they went from small jobs to landing opportunities with premium architects on million-dollar projects. But it wasn't luck - it was a specific, systematic approach. What You'll Learn: 🏗️ WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why they reached out to 150+ architects (and how they got 100 face-to-face meetings) The exact follow-up strategy that works (even when you get ignored 5 times) Why they said NO to their first major opportunity (and how it led to 3 more projects) The mindset shifts that changed everything How to educate clients from day one to avoid problems later The importance of backing yourself when limiting beliefs creep in This isn't theory - it's what's working right now for two builders who refused to settle for "just getting by." If you've ever felt stuck doing the same level of work year after year, this conversation will show you exactly how to break that cycle.
