Reading Time: 3 minutes I’m writing this from my Lenovo Thinkpad. Adrian one of my sales guys said his laptop had already slowed down which surprised me. This surprised me because I BOUGHT him his laptop less than one month ago. And he’s already saying it’s slowed down. He’s got a Lenovo Thinkpad like me. The spec all…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning guys, Got an amazing hangover/headache from drinking and lack of sleep. Despite my attempts to stay in bed – it doesn’t really work well and I think I’ll just need to catch up tomorrow instead. Anyway – I had a bit of a ‘proud’ moment yesterday when it came to the next step…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, Here’s the time It’s been an interesting couple of weeks talking to caller after caller in my search for ‘warriors’. When I say warriors I mean outstanding cold callers. And some things have become apparent to me during this process – It’s a wild ride trying to build a cold calling team…
Reading Time: 6 minutes Hey guys, Another day in my world of trying to build a high-performance sales team. The chaos continues when it comes to sorting out those who can really ‘make it happen’ on the phones. What we’re trying to do at Pearl Lemon Leads is complex. We have multiple campaigns across multiple countries and we’re…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, Feels good to just be ‘brain dumping’ again haha. So we’re still in the ‘chaos’ phase when it comes to building Pearl Lemon Leads. We’ve onboarded a load of clients and we’re definitely headed in the right direction on that front – And correspondingly we’re beginning to identify people that I hope…
Reading Time: 4 minutes Hey guys, Pearl Lemon has reached an interesting juncture in it’s journey. Now several years into it – I’ve got part time, full-time and commission only sales people all within Pearl Lemon. Part-timers are people like Andrew who is only calling for 2 hours per day. Mika whose calling for 4-6 hours per day….
Reading Time: 3 minutes Hi all, It’s Saturday so this is normally the day that I take a little bit of time to reflect upon my progress and where we’re at with the business. We’re not making the money that I want just yet – but that’s because I’m having to rapidly grow and upskill the team on…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, Back with another 20 minute daily dose. I’ve just got back from my morning walk – which today went for around 70 minutes. I managed to get through 1 hour 03 minutes of Tim Ferris’s book ‘Tribe of Mentors’ (listening at 2.10x speed). I made some notes on some of the key…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Hi guys, So here’s the date and time right now. I’m in the middle of making (or at least trying to) hire multiple people from the Philippines. For several years now I’ve seen multiple companies build 7-figure businesses by hiring teams based out in the Philippines. Typically they have someone local on the ground…
Reading Time: 4 minutes Morning all, I’ve been up since maybe 530. I went for my morning wander and read a couple of blinkists. Some cool takeaways from the summaries I read/finished this morning: Supercorp – You can be a profitable company that also gives back – or rather becomes profitable and helps humanity all at the same…
Reading Time: 8 minutes Hey guys, This is the time I’m starting this blog and in truth, I’m not sure how far I’m going to get with it – but I at least on this Sunday wanted to make a start anyway. Pearl Lemon’s team is entirely remote and composed of people all over the world. We’ve got…
Reading Time: 4 minutes Morning all, It’s been an interesting time in the world of Pearl Lemon. We’re growing quickly and as part of that journey, I hired / am hiring sales people. One of them came from an internal recommendation. Matthew. So we negotiated a salary. He was previously (when living in London) being paid £30,000. I…
Reading Time: 5 minutes Morning guys, Here’s the time this morning and I’m still attempting to get back into writing regularly after taking maybe a month break now (disaster I know haha!). Anyway, I wanted to discuss where I’m at with the group as a way to try and reignite my writing on a more regular basis. I’m…
Reading Time: 5 minutes Morning all, Top right you’ll see the time. A little further down you’ll also see the Pomodoro that is setup for another 12 minutes – which is the time I’m giving myself to write this blog today (start it at least) I’m quite excited right now as I’m getting ready to start my accountancy…
Reading Time: 7 minutes Morning all, . I’m having one of those days again where I’m wondering what the hell I’m doing. I’ve got myself into a place where I’m comparing myself to others, seeing how little I’ve achieved and feeling a little depressed about it I guess. I was saying this to my Head of SEO just…
Reading Time: 7 minutes Morning all, Happy Sunday! To those of you who read this on a Sunday anyway. I was thinking about the subject of writing having just hit #1 in ‘Hot New Releases’ on Amazon under ‘home based business sales: And it got me onto this subject of considering – what is the difference between a…
