Story from the editor (not Linda):
"About a decade ago, when I needed to push on a few big deals I had been working on for 6+ months, I leaned into anything I could to close the deal. You know what really worked? Surprisingly well?
-I brought in brownies, coffee cakes, and cookies to meetings that I scheduled at 11:30AM. WHY? In retail I learnt from the insanely smart guys who built Madison Avenue years ago that this was one of the 'sugar hours'. (Actually, many large companies have enough data to figure out the exact minutes). I was working for a small company at the time, so any influence in pushing a deal was critical. The result? Because everyone on the room was hungry (usually cheating on their diet if it was easy), not only did I get the attention of those I needed to push, other executives and stakeholders started to show up just for the cookies... they were more pleasant... and things got done!! When I first started to deploy this method, I spent under $150 in Linda's Kitchen cookies (then), and returned with several 5 and 6-figure deals in under 6 weeks. Since then, if I have a chance; I always deploy this method. Best of all, Linda's Kitchen cookies can be shipped.
So ship them, freeze them already labeled for the clients, then follow the thaw instructions hours before your meetings, and move the deals!"
