About this routine

The Chet Holmes sales routine centres on pig-headed determination applied to a small list of transformative accounts. In his book The Ultimate Sales Machine, Holmes advocated identifying the top 100 ideal clients who could double or triple your business, then pursuing them relentlessly through educational marketing rather than direct pitches.

Unlike high-volume prospecting sprints that rely on cold calls and template emails, the Dream 100 approach emphasizes deep research and valuable insights. Every outreach touchpoint delivers genuine utility, such as proprietary industry reports or tailored strategic observations, building trust with senior executives over time.

Running this structured 60 minute outreach block keeps your high-value account strategy consistent. Dedicating focused time each day to research, customize, and track interactions ensures your top targets receive steady engagement until a conversation opens.

Why this routine works

Builds relationships with high-value ideal clients
Replaces cold pitches with educational marketing
Ensures consistent multi-touch follow-up
Maximizes conversion rates on strategic accounts
