How my ugly mate got laid

In my late teens I used to have a mate who built up a reputation in my circle of friends as being a bit of a ladies man…

I think most circles of friends have someone like this, especially at that age… Someone who seems almost naturally gifted at attracting the opposite sex…

But this guy wasn’t particularly good looking,

He wasn’t even suave and cool as you might imagine…

In fact he was quite the opposite… He possessed an element of confidence, I guess… But he was renowned for having the cheesiest chat up lines you could think of….

They make me cringe even thinking about them now…

A few of my favourites were…

“I seem to have lost my phone number, can I have yours?”

“If I told you that you had a good body, would you hold it against me?”

“You’re so beautiful that you made me forget my pickup line”

And my number one favourite,

“If I were to ask you out on a date, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?”

I liked this one because if they said, “Yes” they were saying yes to a date…

And if they answer “No” they were also essentially saying yes to a date…

It’s one that can take a while to sink in but it always makes me chuckle to think about it…

Anyway back to my original point… Even though they were cheesy, and even though he faced a lot of rejection…

He still did better than most of us when it came to attracting the opposite sex…

I always thought it was down to confidence and luck…

Which it was at some level, I guess…

But you make your own luck… And one of the reasons he was so full of confidence was because he had a system…

Sure it wasn’t the best… It certainly needed work!

… But a bad system beats no system at all, every single time…

Which is why he had a lot more luck than the rest of us when it came to attracting the opposite sex…

He had developed a long memory bank of things to say when talking to girls… The cheesy chat up lines were just to initiate the conversation… But his system went deeper than that…

He knew what to do and say after he got the reaction from the cheesy chat up line too…

If he got a positive reaction, the conversation would take a certain path and one set of responses would be triggered…

And if he got a negative reaction, (it was almost always negative) he’d take the conversation down a different path…

But either way, the chat up line had still done what he intended it to do…

It provided a solution for perhaps the hardest part of talking to a member of the opposite sex … It initiated the conversation…

Once he’d got over that hurdle… It was like no matter what response they gave him, no matter how many times they turned him down, he always had some witty comeback that would have them giggling.

He controlled the conversation like a pro and handled every objection they had…

It wouldn’t work every time… But more often than not, he’d gradually win them around and leave with their phone number at the very least…

The rest of us who would struggle to even strike up a conversation with the opposite sex looked on in awe…

It got me thinking about why the majority of Recruitment & Search Business Owners struggle with attracting enough quality clients…

It’s because they don’t have a system…

A lot of the time they don’t even have anything to initiate the first conversation with a prospect… Let alone enough dialogue to seal the deal and make them a client…

I’m not saying cheesy chat up lines are your answer… They’re almost certainly not…. But you need a system to follow.

A proven step by step blueprint that gets you from generating the first inquiry, to getting in front of the client, to getting them to pay the first invoice, to generating repeat business again and again…
