Hello Andrew,=20

_**Book update**__: we crossed 200 pre-orders and have 4 weeks to go, a big=
 thanks to everyone that=E2=80=99s helped make it happen. Check the pre-sal=
e benefits doc later today for the Hubspot next actions walkthrough. I also=
 have a GPT for writing follow up emails that I=E2=80=99ll be adding shortl=
y. Send me a pic of your _[_pre-order_](https://www.amazon.com/Terrifying-A=
rt-Finding-Customers-Sleep-Deprived/dp/1774586134)_ to get access to everyt=
hing._

_**Community update**__: I=E2=80=99m in SF for Apollo=E2=80=99s conference =
next week and am going to host a happy hour for anyone that wants come join=
 - I=E2=80=99ll bring a few books to sign if anyone wants a pre-release cop=
y. Hit me back and let me know, it=E2=80=99ll be Friday afternoon downtown =
somewhere.  _

_Onto the newsletter=E2=80=A6_

You know follow-up matters. You also know that by Friday, you've been burie=
d in fires and context-switching all week, and those "nurture" blocks you p=
ut in your calendar never happened.

Here's the thing about founder-led sales: it's not the big strategic stuff =
that kills deals. It's the tiny operational stuff. The follow-ups you forge=
t. The next steps you don't schedule. The momentum that dies because you go=
t busy putting out other fires.

I see this all the time. Founders who can pitch their product beautifully, =
who understand their market deeply, who can close deals when they're in fro=
nt of the right person=E2=80=94but they lose opportunities because they don=
't have a system for staying on top of their pipeline.

Here's the fix: two stupidly simple habits that take 10 minutes a day plus =
one extra 10-minute Friday block. That's an hour a week (impressive math, r=
ight?). No fancy tooling. No elaborate sequences. Just consistent momentum =
on deals that actually matter.

**Daily Disco** and **Follow Up Fridays**.

Note - today's post builds on my post from last week about why you're not u=
sing your CRM correctly and my post from May about how to organize your dif=
ferent pipelines. We cover similar ground but zoom right in on how.

## The Monkey Bars

Remember monkey bars when you were a kid? The secret wasn't strength=E2=80=
=94it was momentum. You had to maintain your momentum from one rung to the =
next, get stuck with two hands on the same bar and you're hooped.

Sales works exactly the same way.

Here's what most founders do wrong: They have a great discovery call. Perfe=
ct chemistry, good questions, real pain identified. Then, as the call winds=
 down, they say "this sounds really interesting, let me put together some i=
nformation and I'll send it over."

Click. Call ends.

You just let go of the bar without grabbing the next one.

While you're spending three days crafting the perfect follow-up email, your=
 prospect gets pulled into budget meetings, fires they need to put out, and=
 that other vendor who called them Tuesday morning with a concrete next ste=
p already scheduled.

The momentum you had during that call=E2=80=94their full attention, the con=
text you built together, their engagement with the problem=E2=80=94that's y=
our grip on the current bar. The moment you hang up without booking the nex=
t conversation, you've released your grip and hoped they'll catch you later=
.

They won't.

Here's the brutal truth: every deal you're working on, someone else is work=
ing on too. The founder who keeps momentum by booking the next step while t=
hey're still in the conversation is the one who moves forward.

Not because they're pushier. Because they understand that deals die in the =
gaps between conversations.

## Daily Disco

**Your objective:** everyone in your Discovery pipeline has a next call boo=
ked.

This is the thing you do first when you sit at your desk in the morning. Be=
fore Slack (definitely before Slack), before email, before LinkedIn. I'd sa=
y before coffee, but let's be realistic here.

**Here's the process:**

1. **Set a 10-minute timer.** This keeps you from getting sucked into a rab=
bit hole. You can also do more if you happen to have the time.=C2=A0

2. **Pull up your Discovery pipeline, sorted by next action date.** Overdue=
 and today's tasks at the top.

3. **For each contact, follow The Ladder:**

* Call them first. If they answer, book the next step before you hang up.

* No answer? Leave a voicemail: "Hey [Name], quick question about [specific=
 thing you discussed]. Call me back=E2=80=94[your number]."

* Optional text (only if you have good rapport): Reference the voicemail, a=
sk them to call back.

* Email only if call/voicemail fail within 24 hours: Under 75 words, focus =
on their problem, include a binary question.

* If you've reached out 5 times in the last month with no response: Move th=
em to nurture.

4. **When the timer goes off, stop.** This isn't about perfection; it's abo=
ut building a sustainable habit.

**The rule:** nothing stays in Discovery without a scheduled next action.

Here's what actually happens when you start doing this: you realize half yo=
ur "active" deals aren't actually active. People who've been sitting in you=
r pipeline for months suddenly tell you they're not moving forward. That's =
not failure=E2=80=94that's clarity.

## Follow Up Fridays

**Your objective:** 5 nurture touches every Friday.

**The math:** 5 touches =C3=97 50 weeks =3D 250 reopened conversations per =
year.

This isn't about being pushy. It's about being present when priorities shif=
t. Most of the people in your pipeline aren't ready to buy when you first t=
alk to them=E2=80=94but circumstances change. Companies get funding. Projec=
ts get approved. Competitors screw up. Your job is to be there when the tim=
ing finally aligns.

**Two types of follow-ups:**

**High-context follow-ups (2-3 per week)** =E2=80=94 Personal touches that =
prove you remember the conversation:

* "Saw you raised that Series A you were working on=E2=80=94is now a good t=
ime to pick up our conversation about scaling your sales team?"

* "How did the project to rework your ICP go this summer? Still dealing wit=
h those lead quality issues we discussed?"

**Theme-based emails (2-3 per week)** =E2=80=94 Tied to what's happening in=
 their world: Think about what's happening in your buyers' world right now.=
 Is it budget planning season? Conference season? Pick one theme for the mo=
nth and run with it.

Structure: Under 100 words, lead with their pain, end with a question about=
 priority.

Example: "Most [role] I talk to are struggling with [specific problem] head=
ing into Q4. Is this top of mind for you right now?"

**Your Friday ritual:**

* Block 10 minutes

* Open your nurture pipeline

* Pick 5 people

* Send something (alternating between high-context and theme-based)

* Update their next action dates

I use two nurture cadences: monthly or quarterly. Everyone gets 3 months of=
 monthly nurture, then drops to quarterly if they don't reply. I wrote a cu=
stom GPT for my clients to use to quickly generate these emails, reply with=
 a screenshot of your pre-order receipt and I=E2=80=99ll send it your way.=20

## Why This Actually Works

**Consistency beats volume.** Over the course of a year, buyers' priorities=
 change constantly. The startup that couldn't afford you in Q1 might have j=
ust raised funding in Q3. The prospect who wasn't interested in January mig=
ht be desperate for your solution in June when their current vendor screws =
up.

If your pipeline comes from outbound (like most of ours), 95% of people you=
 meet aren't ready to buy when you first talk to them. But staying consiste=
ntly in touch means you're much more likely to contact them right when your=
 solution becomes relevant.

That 250 annual touches compounds in ways you can't predict: deals reopen w=
hen priorities shift, referrals come from people who remember you stayed in=
 touch professionally, past customers re-engage when they change companies.

**The system is self-correcting.** Daily Disco forces pipeline cleanliness=
=E2=80=94deals that are truly moving forward stay in Discovery because you'=
re constantly booking next steps. Deals that have cooled off naturally move=
 to nurture when people stop responding.

I can=E2=80=99t help but notice that it=E2=80=99s Friday=E2=80=A6 Why not s=
tart today?

Don't let your deals die because you trusted your memory instead of buildin=
g a system.

Collin

PS - If you found this helpful, forward it to someone who's tired of deals =
dying in their pipeline. And if someone forwarded this to you, I have a boo=
k coming out that=E2=80=99s packed with good stuff like this, you can [pre-=
order](https://www.amazon.ca/Terrifying-Art-Finding-Customers-Sleep-Deprive=
d/dp/1774586134) it here.=20

PPS - the current pre-order benefits include a list of VCs (with category, =
cheque size, and lead/follow pref), a LinkedIn mini-course, a Hubspot mini-=
course (adding today), a GPT to write follow ups for your nurture deals, an=
d more. You also get an invite to our monthly Q&A.
