Seriously – I woke up yesterday morning to a dreary sky and with a tug in my brain that I originally thought was the deflation of my outstanding experiences last week. Top of my to-do list was to reach out to several very interested, very potential clients. Moment of truth time. If you’ve ever been in a sales or development role, you know the feeling, the voice in your head. It’s the voice that I need to ignore. The voice that says “you know, Jenny, you were just fooling yourself. Your product isn’t that great, you aren’t “all that”. If you make contact with the people on the fence about doing business with you, you’ll just affirm the fact that they don’t want to do business with you. It’s better that you just wait for them to reach out to you. That’s the safest path – no news means its still possible, and that’s way better than a flat out “no”, right?”

So, I took a deep breath and told the voice of what I call the “itty bitty shitty committee” (IBSC) to go straight to the depths of Hell.  I texted, emailed or voicemailed everyone whom I had promised to “pester” about a decision. I was cheerful and optimistic in my follow up. I had a potential client meeting that I had prepared  for and felt good about.

I walked in to that client meeting and lo and behold – he committed! Then, as I was on my way home, I got a phone call from another one – she was a “GO!”. Then not an hour later – I got another phone call – and he was ready to take action as well!

Three clients confirmed in one day. Three clients who will be part of my very special Founders Club (they may not know it yet, but they will soon!). Three clients who will help me understand even more the “why” behind this business and help me craft my value prop, my process and my brand. Three clients who have taken a risk on me as an unknown entity and my plan is to over deliver on their expectations.

I started this business specifically so I can help small business owners who don’t have a marketing department, a sales department, or an anything department.  Just the “Chief Everything Officer” looking back at you in the mirror every morning.  I’m proud to help these new clients and hope that I don’t disappoint them in any way!

Watch out world, LittleBox Social is on the map! I can’t wait to show off the results of my work with them! Coming soon to a facebook page or a twitter news feed near you!
