Revenue Rainmaker

Hunting is a cognitive sport. Your edge is rejection processing, time architecture, deal control, and clean leverage.

Revenue Rainmaker

Does this sound familiar?

  • You procrastinate outreach by doing research that never ends
  • Rejection stacks up and you drift into busywork
  • Demos feel good but die in follow-up
  • You discount to relieve pressure instead of trading value
  • You talk more than the prospect and learn too little
Old Way
  • Ride your mood and hope the day cooperates
  • Take rejection personally and slow down
  • Pitch features to win agreement
  • Let next steps stay vague
New Way
  • Run time-boxed sprints that force output
  • Treat rejection as data and recover fast
  • Extract truth with labels, mirrors, and calibrated questions
  • Control the process with upfront contracts and explicit decisions

The Protocol

  • Start of day: earn momentum

    5m

    Dial before messages. Use a countdown to bypass hesitation.

  • Outbound block: sprint execution

    75–90m

    Run a clean prospecting sprint: research → dial → follow-up. No mixing.

  • Calls: control the frame

    60s

    Upfront contract first minute. Name the next step last minute.

  • Objections: extract truth

    30–60s

    Label emotion, mirror words, ask calibrated questions, then use silence.

  • End of day: build tomorrow

    20m

    Track inputs/outputs and queue tomorrow’s call list so dialing starts on time.

Getting Started

Step01

Week 1: stabilize recovery speed

Install the rejection handle, box breathing, and HALT checks so you can take the next dial immediately.

Week 2: create outbound velocity

Run daily prospecting sprints and batch follow-ups into one window. Build tomorrow’s call list.

Step03

Week 3: enforce deal control

Upfront contracts, parking lot, same-day recap, and explicit next steps. Start mapping decision chains.

Week 4+: install leverage

Shift to conditional trades, pre-planned concessions, and pre-mortems before final calls.
