I Made A Grown Man Cry on Christmas Eve

I Made A Grown Man Cry on Christmas Eve

Your prospects are WAY too comfortable.

Part of your job is to wake them up... help them come to grips with the truth... and take the appropriate action.

Sometimes it requires confrontation.

(Because it can be difficult, slow, and downright ineffective to try to "teach" people into taking decisive action.)

My story about driving a relative to tears on Christmas Eve illustrates this point well.

Now, you don't have to make anyone cry. But your words will often need to nudge people a little to make them uncomfortable enough to make a different decision.

This video was originally livestreamed in a private Facebook group. It's a few years old, but the insights are gold.

Happy holidays to you and your family!

What a powerful reminder that comfort often leads to inaction! As copywriters and marketers, it’s our job to challenge comfort zones by connecting on a deeper, emotional level. Your story shows how insight and empathy inspires meaningful action. Thanks for sharing this and happy holidays! ????????
