Mind Cast

Like a "brain dump" but more purposeful and specific.

What was your plan for event invitees? This is my mind cast:
- Create invites
- Assign salespeople to industries
- Set an expected number of invites sent by X date

- All non-responded invites followed up within seven days
- Final number collated in four week
Sound okay?

Opportunity Roulette

Used in a business context. Contacting a lead that you think may be open to the idea of purchasing the products or services your business sells, but having no idea whether they are in a position to do so right now, or if your business is even in the conversation.

I'm going to spend the morning playing opportunity roulette with the lost leads from last month.

All-Blacking

A synonym for choking in the sporting sense.

Jana Novotna seriously All-Blacked against Steffi Graff in the 1993 Wimbledon final.

Greg Norman was a serial All-Blacker in major tournaments.
