So we invited him to Mixergy to teach us how to do it, too.<\/p>\n<p>And the best part is, this works even if you\u2019re not a natural. And even if you aren\u2019t very well-connected.<\/p>\n<p>After all, that\u2019s where Steve started out, too. \u201cI come from a construction family,\u201d he says. \u201cI think we aspired to be middle class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/mixergy.com\/?p=35738\">the full course<\/a>, you\u2019ll discover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Steve\u2019s attention-grabbing system for making initial contact with top influencers (it even got the Vatican to say yes to his crazy request!)<\/li>\n<li>How Steve lost his company, then bought it back and grew it to multi-millions, all because of the way he builds relationships<\/li>\n<li>Why sending perfect emails and beautiful videos will KILL your chances of working with A-list clients (and what to do instead)<\/li>\n<li>What Steve sends his super wealthy clients that gets them to pick up the phone and call him (hint: it costs one postage stamp)<\/li>\n<li>and much more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One part that really stood out: <strong>How<\/strong> <b>Steve gets a 100% hit rate using snail mail to reach world-famous influencers<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an excerpt on that, from <a href=\"https:\/\/mixergy.com\/?p=35738\">the full course<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><b>Steve:<\/b>\u00a0I may do 100 envelopes on the plane tomorrow.
