When life knocks you down, get up

Posted by Jeff Ogden on June 22, 2011

Lead Generation Companies | The Power of Perseverance

Author’s note: One of my all-time favorite posts.

In a recent Laugh and Learn (our weekly show on B2B marketing featuring wit and humor) the topic was a great video on free hugs from Italy. Haunting music too. Really inspiring. (Click underlined words to watch the show.)

But as you watch that video, you see that they initially failed over and over. Finally, people started paying attention and the hugs start coming.

The lesson from that video is this: When life kicks you in the teeth and knocks you down - get up. Over and over and over.

Case in point - we’ve worked our butts off for two years with little to show. We made some decent money but not enough.

On Friday, a fellow Notre Dame grad connects with me on Linkedin. He learns what we do and he knows a lot of companies I’d love to crack into. He’s helping me now.

Then a lady I’ve been trying to reach for weeks connects with me. She’s now a key ally.

Also, we did a contest on B2B Marketing Ideas. Great press and killer press release coming out tomorrow too. Should get us tons of press.

A prospect found our website by doing a Google search for free white paper on sales lead generating

Here’s the bottom line - in my mind:

When life knocks you down, get up.
When life knocks you down a second time, get up.
When life knocks you down a third time, get up.
When life knock you down for the 9,999th time, get up.

What do you think? Do others share this ‘never say die’ attitude?

It seems we’ve bounced back from the fiasco last August, when a tiny CRM company named A p l i c o r refused to return our domains and we went dark. We had to buy a new domain, http://www.findnewcustomers.com and start over.

How did we do in the last 10 months? One way to measure is to use Hubspot’s Grader.com tools, as they provide a nice measurable result. Here’s how we do now:

Find New Customers (website) scores 98.5 out of 100
Fearless Competitor (blog) scores 98 out of 100
@fearlesscomp (Twitter) scores 100 out of 100

B2B Lead Generation | Guest appearances

We’ve had the good fortune of a lot of guest appearances lately. I want to summarize them here. Did you also know you can hire the Fearless Competitor to speak at your next marketing event?

Besides guest articles for SandHill.com, CustomerThink.com, PostClickMarketing.com and lots of other sites, here are three personal appearances.

(Radio) The Importance of Lead Nurturing - SalesBuzz Radio (check out the glowing reviews)
Jeff Ogden (an expert in B2B lead nurturing) was a spectacular guest on our SalesBuzz program. He really knows his stuff! Jeff’s insight into the changing world of selling is remarkable. He makes a compelling case for salespeople to market themselves consistently and professionally, because when companies are ready to buy, they’re going to turn to the salesperson they think of first, last and always as the person they can trust to deliver the solutions they want and need. Thanks again for being our guest on the SalesBuzz. Kevin Reinert
(Radio) Sale Lead Management Radio - B2B lead generation

(Video) HubspotTV - with Marketing Strategist Jeff Ogden
Ogden was the featured guest on Hubspot’s weekly TV show.

And I’m very proud of one that has nothing to do with B2B marketing - helping college-educated professionals get back to work.
