Are you fed up, broke and lonely? Then switch off your computer and get a life. Ok that's my little joke. Seriously though, sitting in front of a monitor for most of the day is not likely to do much to improve any of the points above. Try communicating with the real world for a change.

Because now you have introduced yourself and (I hope) supplied a phone number or mailed information so that when a requirement does arise, they can easily contact you.

Next time you make an attempt, you won't be an absolute stranger, your prospect might want something now and you are demonstrating that you are keen to help. Don't do it so often that you become a pest, of course.

With prospecting, after a while, the numbers look after themselves. You may be lucky within the first 2 or 3 contacts, but if you aren't it doesn't be concerned because the laws of probability determine when your winning streak will occur. If you have a blank week, next Tuesday might be your best day ever. Statistics are lumpy, you only know how you are doing by taking the average across a big enough interval.
