This strategy is so effective that he couldn't keep it to myself, and has already shared it with friends, clients, and partners who have seen amazing results.
To implement this strategy, all you need is a Google Sheet and a Google-based email. Create a list of 100 people who align with your target audience and have the potential to bring significant value to your brand. This list could include celebrities, industry influencers, authors, experts, and thought leaders. Don't be afraid to dream big, but also include individuals who are just a couple of degrees of separation away from you.
Now, here's the secret sauce: attach this Google Sheet to the bottom of every email you send, using it as part of your email signature. This way, every person you communicate with will see your Dream 100 list. They might even have connections or ideas that could help you connect with those individuals.
