I did some experimenting last night at a local pub, to see if time constraints are really as important as people make them out to be. Let me tell you right now, they are! I opened 7 diffrent sets, with a decent range of of hb7's to hb 9's, and each time I made the time constraint I could feel the calm over the girls. They wern't worried, their guard was down.
So from now on, time constraints are a must in your opener. If you dont believe me go open a few sets without giving yourself a time constraint then open a few whilst giving one, you will actually see and 'feel' the diffrence. Here are some examples:
"…. ok i need your opinion real quick, my friends are waiting for me …. blah blah operner"
"I only got a couple minutes but here let me show use something….blah blah"
"the guys are waiting for me, so ill show you something real quick .. blah blah magic dhv or something"
So simple.
Enjoy
