Struggling to stay consistent with business development?

A friend reminded me: it’s not just about closing deals - that's the glory.
It’s about consistent habits - that's the grind.

This week, try a simple checklist to track some small actions.
These are things worth counting that move relationships forward:

📞 Real-time touchpoints (calls, voicemails, video snippets)
✉️ Personal follow-ups (emails, DMs, helpful links)
🗓 Meetings that happened—virtual or in person
🔁 Referrals or intros you gave or received
📝 Notes worth saving (in your CRM or just a spark of insight)

It’s not just “old school.”
It’s what still works.

Channels change.
People don’t.

And measurement beats guesswork - every time.
Now get off LinkedIn and do some work!
