I greatly dislike porta-potties or any public 'potties' for that matter, but your analogy is so catchy! Also, I appreciate your follow-on considerations re: personality and risk tolerance (in re: to 'what one does' to perpetuate their prospecting goals)! And yes, I not only have read Seth's Purple Cow book, I own a copy! Your blog post is inspiring me to pull it back off the library shelf and re-read it! Cheers, Jacqui Alicia – thanks for your reply to my comment. I greatly dislike porta-potties or any public ‘potties’ for that matter, but your analogy is so catchy!

Port-A-Potties are so disgusting to me. But in terms of your prospecting journey, that's a great question. Should you be on the path less traveled? Should you find radically different ways to promote yourself and find clients? Or should you go the traditional routes? What you should do depends on a lot on your personality and your risk tolerance. Have you read Seth Godin's book? Ben - Thanks for the comment. I never get tired of reading the case studies Seth has in the book. It's good stuff! Jacqui – Glad you like the “poo portals.” Port-A-Potties are so disgusting to me.

And I second your Purple Cow recommendation. It's a rockin' book. Jackie is the smelliest (and smartest) lighting sales rep I’ve ever heard of. :-) Good stuff.

I've owned Career Trend 11+ years' now; yet, I'm continually trying to review my prospecting strategies to ensure I'm not so far off the beaten path that I am inefficient or ineffective (or both). As well, I'm trying to vet whether I 'should be' veering off the too-well-worn path more to distinguish myself and boost effectiveness of my message. Thanks again for your ever delightful oh-so-professional content with the perfect blend of fun (I love the reference to 'poo portals') - you're a treasure Alicia! Jacquii Dear Alicia,
