Follow up first with the contact, then with the person who gave you their name. This will
encourage your partners to continue to supply contacts for you because you do act on those
contacts and appreciate it enough to call back and express thanks.

Strategy 6-16:

Determine what to act on first.

Step 5: Prioritize the Ideas.

What often happens after a good session is so many great ideas are generated that
some people feel overwhelmed. We have seen situations where people have needed weeks
to act on the ideas.
Here’s what we recommend after the session. Look at your list and evaluate the
ideas. Categorize them into A, B or C ideas.

A = Great idea-will act or implement now Today
B = Good idea-will act or implement later is a
C = Good idea-not scheduled for action at this time great
day
Strategy 6-17:

Get moving today.

Step 6: Move into Action.

How many times have you seen something on a store shelf or read about some
exploding idea and remembered you had that same idea, but never did anything about it?
How many people thought about a game like ‘Trivial Pursuit’ but never got around to
making it happen? Well, a couple of beer-drinking movers did. They revived an industry
that was all but dead.
Begin acting on the A’s immediately. We find that if you delay more than 48 hours,
you won’t act on the idea. Do something with the idea the next day. It might just be to re-

Millionairework the idea or write someone a Thank-You note for coming up with it in the first place,
but do something.
