I thought we would continue on the topic of consistency with this clip from Ryan Alvord of Paychex. It&#8217;s not just Ryan&#8217;s process that&#8217;s consistent, but so are his results. At the time of our interview, Ryan had finished in the top 10 of roughly 400 reps for the previous eight years consecutively, and I&#8217;m pretty sure he finished him the number one spot again last year. Here&#8217;s what he had to say about consistency.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Alvord: I think it\u2019s a clich\u00e9 thing to say in sales is that you\u2019re just persist. But I think there\u2019s really really a craft to it. I look at it from this perspective. I assume that at any point in time about 5 percent of my prospects are frustrated with their current vendor. The problem is that this 5 percent is always changing right. So it might be different every week. There might be a different 5 percent that\u2019s interested in looking every week. So from my perspective, I really need to make sure that my name was in front of that 5 percent whenever they were ready to look. So it might not be this week it might be you know two years from now but I didn\u2019t want them to forget about me so I really had to find a way to follow up the right way consistently, persistently and it needs to be done tactfully as well. Right. So you have to follow up in a way that\u2019s pleasant. You can\u2019t come across too pushy. Nobody likes that type of sales rep but you do need to stay top of mind for them so that when they\u2019re ready to make a switch they\u2019re thinking of you they\u2019re going back to an e-mail that they got from you a week ago and just responding to it and say &#8220;yep you know what we\u2019re ready to look now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Scott Ingram: If you want to hear my complete interview with Ryan, you&#8217;ll find that on <a href=\"https:\/\/top1.fm\/32-ryan-alvord-paychex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">episode 32<\/a> of the <a href=\"http:\/\/top1.fm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sales Success Stories podcast<\/a>.
