There is a dangerous myth in the industry that building a personal brand means you never have to pick up the phone again. Producers start posting on LinkedIn and assume the leads will just roll in, using content as an excuse to avoid the hard work of prospecting. It’s a mindset that leads to a dry pipeline and missed targets.

My guest, Micah Salas, proves that the most effective strategy is doing both. Despite being a top producer with a published book and a strong following, he still commits to making 40 cold calls every single day. In this episode, he breaks down the math behind his daily volume, why he believes "more is still more," and how combining a strong reputation with high-volume outreach makes every dial more effective. This is a reality check for anyone hoping to replace the hustle with a hashtag.
