About this episode
Charging Up Your Hour of Power In the latest episode of the Ninja Selling podcast, Matt and Garrett delve into the Hour of Power, a low urgency activity designed to help people build relationships and reconnect with their database.

Garrett and Matt continue their discussion on productive phone calls, emphasizing the need for discipline, consistency, and focus. The hosts provide practical tips on creating a conducive environment for making phone calls, such as removing digital distractions and using the Pomodoro technique to maintain focus. They also advise on how to handle long conversations, which may not be productive, and suggest scheduling follow-up meetings to address any unresolved topics. By emphasizing the importance of consistency and discipline in developing phone skills, today's episode underlines the fact that phone calls are an essential aspect of building relationships, generating leads, and growing a successful business.
