60-SECOND BOOK BRIEFS
BY JEB BLOUNT
The world’s best salespeople are fanatical at prospecting. Jeb Blount
has written Fanatical Prospecting to teach us how they do it.

They know that interrupting their prospects’ day is a fundamental building block to building a robust pipeline.
Second, they use all

know that the telephone
remains their secret
weapon.

Fourth, they ruthlessly protect their prospecting time, and block out time in their calendars in order to make it happen.
Fifth, they ask for what they want, and assume they will get it. Then, they are prepared for reflex responses, brush offs or objections.
Finally, they go the extra mile. Or in Jeb’s words: “When it is time to go home, make one more call.”
