asking for help
When we decide not to ask for help, sometimes its because we think we can do it all on our own, or we don't think that anyone will be able to help us.
Asking for help isn't always about finding a solution - it allows conversations and the space for new opportunities and possibilities to grow. It could also open up for new connections and perspectives that will zoom out from your original problem. Maybe you will find the problem you had is not actually the real problem, and along the way you found someone who is willing to lend their wisdom in return for learnings.
When times get tough and you feel lost, just start by asking for help. You never know where it could lead you and the people around you. And remember asking for help is a sign of vulnerability and humility - so a person who cannot ask for help cannot be trusted!
Have a great week!

MARketing RESULTS
How can you attract impulsive people?
What type of person would go from a Stranger on the 10th May, to Realised on the 10th June - applying for a project, sitting an interview, paying the admin fee, booking their flights, getting their visa, etc in between? An impulsive person - but what are impulsive people attracted to, and how can we relate this to AIESEC?
Check out the output from Tuesday night's H-Space where one group tackled this question, and make it happen in your LC. It's your last chance to attract for winter! Read the output at bit.ly/ineedoutput

[NATIONAL PROJECTS] Winter and SUMMER

ICX Results
ICX Weekly Priority:
a) Follow up, Follow up and Follow up:
Not only continue following up your current leads, but also follow up the meetings that you have attended. It's really important to remember that after the meeting the sale is not close and we have to keep following up, not as often as we used to do it with Leads but at least every 2 or 3 days, with a call and an email.
b) Smart Sales:
After you attend a meeting you have a good or a bad feeling. If you know that this company is not going to close that contract only follow up once send what the ask and put that company on stand by, follow up every week. You have to concentrate your effort and time on the company that actually showed a strong willingness to partner with AIESEC.
If you are not sure whether the company wants to partner with AIESEC or not, do a few follow ups and sense their commitment to close as soon as possible if you don't feel a possible yes. As the sale person you know that you need to move to a better prospect.
