Where is your prospecting actually broken?

Answer honestly about the last month. It takes about thirty seconds, asks for nothing, and will tell you to buy nothing if that is the right answer.

1 When you post or share something, what usually happens? Almost nobody sees it or reacts. Some people see it and a few react. I don't really post — I contact people directly.

2 Who is on your contact list? Mostly random people with no connection to what I do. The right sort of people — but I've worked through all of them. Relevant people, and I still have plenty to contact.

3 When it's time to message someone, what happens? I write something, hesitate, and often don't send it. I send it, and people usually go quiet immediately. I send messages regularly and people do reply.

4 What happens with people who showed interest? They look at it, then go quiet and I don't know what to say next. They stay interested and enthusiastic but never actually decide. People do decide, one way or the other.
