Most people think we can't change the weather. Colorado just proved them wrong.



We just launched the first warm-weather rain system in the U.S. in Weld County, Colorado.

No chemicals. No planes. Just electrical charges that boost natural rainfall by 15-17%.

Colorado already seeds clouds for snow in winter. Now we're targeting summer rain when farmers need it most.

The West has a water crisis, we can't just hope for better weather anymore.

Andrew Rickert from Colorado's water board said it best: "If locals are getting more crops, I can see this definitely catching on and spreading around the state, especially in these times of drought."

Colorado went first. Other states will follow!

And thx to Alex Hager of KUNC and The Colorado Sound for covering this story!

I may be old school BUT...



Winners don’t bad-mouth, they out-execute.

When a prospect mentions a competitor, weak reps panic and start talking trash. 

Strong reps stay calm, refocus on the buyer’s goals, and prove why they’re the best fit.

You don’t win by tearing others down. 

You win by making them irrelevant.

Does criticizing competitors give you any credibility?

I may be old school BUT...



The best prospects come from happy customers.

I see so many reps chasing strangers instead of talking to the people who already trust them.

Choosing to dial 100 cold leads instead of asking one customer for a warm intro.

Your happiest customers want to help. They just need a nudge.

Ask them who else could use your help - and make it easy for them to connect you.

Cold calls build pipelines. Referrals build careers.

Are cold calls better than customer referrals?
