Stop acting like a beggar if you want to close the Oga. I see it at every wedding: ambitious entrepreneurs groveling for a moment of an influential person’s time, only to be forgotten before the cake is cut. You are killing your brand before you even open your mouth.

In this episode, I reveal why your social posture is the difference between a closed deal and a cold shoulder. I am teaching you how to maintain your dignity while showing cultural deference. You are an equal in humanity, even if they are "stacked" with money. I am giving you a framework to navigate high-stakes social events and turn a 30-second greeting into a scheduled later or boardroom meeting.

What You Are Mastering Today:

 * The Deference Trap: How to respect status without assuming an "inferior" role.

 * The 5-Step Framework: The precise script for greetings, intent, and closing a follow-up.

 * The PA Secret: Why the security detail and the secretary are your real keys to the kingdom.

 * Strategic Patience: How to handle the "wait" once you get past the gatekeepers.

I am also opening doors for my 10-day intensive training (Jan 12–23, 2026) on selling over the phone. Stop "jamming" people at parties; learn to command the line.
