7 Powerful Sales and Marketing Hacks for Entrepreneurs with ADHD and RSD
Sales and Marketing When You Have ADHD and RSD: An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Business Tsuris
So, you wanna do sales and marketing with ADHD and a dash of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)? You got a high tolerance for tsuris (troubles), I’ll tell ya that! Sales is a “yes” and “no” game, but with RSD, even a polite “not right now” can feel like you’ve been booted out of the family. Throw in ADHD, and you’ve got the world’s most sensitive pinball machine – bouncing from email campaigns to social media posts to cold calls without any warning.
Nu? You still wanna try it? Alright, let’s talk about what makes sales and marketing such a simcha (such a joy) when you have ADHD and RSD – and I’ll even throw in a few tips for staying sane (or at least as sane as one can be in this crazy world).
1. "Consistency? Oy Vey!"
ADHD and consistency go together like gefilte fish and chocolate cake. You know, a little here, a little there, but never quite in sync. Problem is, in sales and marketing, people need to see your face – your punnim (face) – again and again before they’ll buy from you. But for you? One day, it’s three social media posts and five emails. The next two weeks? Bupkis (nothing).
The Hack: Automate Like a Mensch
Listen, it’s the 21st century. You don’t have to schlep (lug around) all this yourself! Get a system in place. Use Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later to automate your posts and let technology give you the illusion of consistency, even if in reality, you’re as scattered as matzah crumbs after Passover.
You also may want to try using a virtual assistant for the human touch. A VA can do most of these tasks and leave you the exciting stuff to do!
