SNIPPETS: • Go back to the well • Revisit the decisions that led to previous bookings • Trace the full path of the booking • Identify people who could help lead to your next booking • Ask: "What was I doing back then, that I need to start doing again?" • Recover abandoned tools, tips, and techniques • Apply new technology to 'old school' principles • Go back to the principle of relationship-building • Reconnect with prospects who said 'No' • A 'No' could be a 'Not now" • Analyze your 'failures;' a lack of success may have led to success Work with Mark and Darren: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com/get-a-speaking-coach/ Check Out Stage Time University: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/unforgettable-presentations-753123/episodes/ep-343-success-backwards/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/unforgettable-presentations-753123/ep-343-success-backwards.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
