In a blog post
billionaire CEO Richard Branson was giving some advice on how to run a successful business.
I had the privilege to meet
Mr. Branson four years ago while attending the Western States Inaugural Ball in
Washington DC for President Barack Obama.
He was very humble. Many around
him that night were in awe of him. It
was a neat experience and his words of advice hit right at your heart. Case in
point with the GET, LLC blog:
Something
he said which really stood out was that in our technology age
people tend to close LESS business. He said that he still believes face to face communication and picking up the telephone are the best
ways to get business deals done.
If you're struggling to close prospects or your team isn't duplicating the way you'd like, it's time
to pick up the phone and actually TALK with people. As a leader, you have to help others and show them what to do.

Also, try to make it a point to get to live meetings - this is where you can meet other people in the business.
Make a commitment to do these simple actions and be
present in your business.
