  1. 0:00Hey, Alex. I'm 16 years old and can you
  2. 0:02please tell me how I could go from zero
  3. 0:05to million by 18 years old? So I could
  4. 0:07prove to my family I don't need to go to
  5. 0:09college.
  6. 0:12>> Yes. Reverse engineer what a million
  7. 0:15means. So is it a million in revenue? Is
  8. 0:16it a million in profit? Is it a million
  9. 0:17over the two years? Is it a million in
  10. 0:19profit over two years? Just a million in
  11. 0:20revenue. So number one, quantify the
  12. 0:22goal really discreetly. So, let's just
  13. 0:24say that by the end of 24 months from
  14. 0:26now, you want to exit velocity, meaning
  15. 0:27your monthly revenue run rate is $83,000
  16. 0:30a month. All right? So, that would put
  17. 0:31you on peace for a million. Okay? So, if
  18. 0:33that's the goal, then we have to sell
  19. 0:35enough units per month that it equates
  20. 0:38to $83,000 a month. And so, let's say
  21. 0:41that you want to sell
  22. 0:44uh $2,000 a month uh thing to business
  23. 0:47owners to help them get leads. So, let's
  24. 0:49say you run meta ads or you do you clip
  25. 0:51content for them or you manage their
  26. 0:52Reddit uh you know reputation online,
  27. 0:55pick something uh and say, "Okay, if I
  28. 0:58have to get to uh $83,000 a month, let's
  29. 1:01just call it 84. Keep it keep it nice
  30. 1:03and simple mathwise. I've got $2,000 a
  31. 1:05month per customer, then I need 42
  32. 1:07customers in order to get my 80 uh
  33. 1:09$3,000 a month. Okay. Uh in order for me
  34. 1:12to get 43 customers, uh what do I think
  35. 1:15uh my turn on that subscription is going
  36. 1:16to be?" Let's assume it's small business
  37. 1:17owners. If it's small business owner,
  38. 1:19I'll tell you that the rule of thumb is
  39. 1:20probably going to be about five months
  40. 1:21is going to be the uh the expected
  41. 1:24lifetime. So, call it 20% churn. Again,
  42. 1:26not saying these are good numbers. I'm
  43. 1:27saying that's what it's probably going
  44. 1:28to be. So, that means that you have five
  45. 1:30months of 2K. That's $10,000 total in
  46. 1:32lifetime value for a customer. And so,
  47. 1:34your sales velocity, which means how
  48. 1:36many people you need to sell per month,
  49. 1:38has to equate to $10,000 time or rather
  50. 1:41$84,000 divided by the LTV, the
  51. 1:43customer. So, if I have 84,000 divided
  52. 1:46by 10, then I need to sell 8.4 units per
  53. 1:49month, which is two per week, if we
  54. 1:50would round up, we can say three per
  55. 1:52week. And so, then we say, okay, if we
  56. 1:54have to sell three units per week at
  57. 1:55that price point, um, how many outreach
  58. 1:57attempts does it take me to get an
  59. 1:58appointment? And we'd say maybe it's,
  60. 2:01let's say it's 100 average attempts to
  61. 2:02get an appointment. That would be pretty
  62. 2:04high. Let's just say it's 100 to get
  63. 2:05one. Okay. Of my opportunities, how many
  64. 2:08of them do I close? Uh, I close one out
  65. 2:11of four opportunities. Okay. which means
  66. 2:13I need to do uh 400 to get one of those
  67. 2:16sales and I need three. So I need 1,200
  68. 2:18outreach attempts uh per week in order
  69. 2:21to get my goal. And so if I have 1,200
  70. 2:24outreach attempts per week and I've got
  71. 2:26six days that I'm going to be working,
  72. 2:27let's say you take Sunday off, then you
  73. 2:29can do 200 outreach attempts per day and
  74. 2:30then you wait.
  75. 2:34That's the game. And so I think many of
  76. 2:36you have these goals, but you have not
  77. 2:38actually broken down what does it take
  78. 2:40from a numbers perspective and keep
  79. 2:41going down to from the number to my
  80. 2:44daily activity. That's it. You just have
  81. 2:45to connect what you do to this number.
  82. 2:48And
  83. 2:49>> let's do like uh one thing you one of my
  84. 2:50favorite things from you is uh these
  85. 2:53little Tik Toks or shorts I see where
  86. 2:55you're giving like a sales tip or a
  87. 2:57little sales trick or whatever. And um I
  88. 3:01would love for you I think most people
  89. 3:03probably you know most people who are
  90. 3:04listening to this just you know the bell
  91. 3:06curve of people listening to this
  92. 3:08probably have spent you know zero time
  93. 3:10trying to improve their sales and have
  94. 3:12not seen some of these things. So I want
  95. 3:13to give them the opportunity where they
  96. 3:14don't got to go click and find this
  97. 3:16random Tik Tok that I'm talking about in
  98. 3:18the ocean of Tik Tok. I want to uh role
  99. 3:20play a little bit. um give us kind of
  100. 3:23like um give us an example of normal
  101. 3:28like here's the default way people are
  102. 3:29doing something and then here's the
  103. 3:31rephrase or the reframe that has better
  104. 3:33results. Um I would love to to give get
  105. 3:36two minutes of learning sales from Alex.
  106. 3:39>> Sure. And just as a quick caveat to
  107. 3:42complete the loop from like 40 minutes
  108. 3:44ago, you said like what was the book or
  109. 3:46training or whatever that so it's my
  110. 3:49belief if you look at Belelfford, you
  111. 3:50look at Bradley, you look at Grant
  112. 3:51Cardone, some of the big sales trainers
  113. 3:52that are out there, almost all of them
  114. 3:54invariably have the same story which is
  115. 3:56I started selling and was the best guy
  116. 3:58on the team by a [ __ ] mile and then I
  117. 4:00tried to figure out what I was doing.
  118. 4:01And so I do think that some people
  119. 4:05naturally based on their childhood,
  120. 4:06their upbringings, their whatever are
  121. 4:08just have a higher proclivity for
  122. 4:09selling which
  123. 4:10>> yeah just a gift of gab and and empathy.
  124. 4:13>> Yeah. And I think it carries over into
  125. 4:15how you recruit for selling too because
  126. 4:16we've built a lot of sales teams and I
  127. 4:18actually have a very short allowing for
  128. 4:21people to fail at sales cycle. Probably
  129. 4:22much shorter than most people. And it's
  130. 4:24just because I've never had a killer
  131. 4:26salesperson who didn't do pretty well
  132. 4:28the first week. And so for me, we, you
  133. 4:30know, we turn through those quickly, but
  134. 4:32as a result of that, the team is just
  135. 4:33killers and they know that. So I I like
  136. 4:36this quote from from Grant Cardone, but
  137. 4:37he says, you know, my sales team is a
  138. 4:39dangerous place to work. And um I I love
  139. 4:42that. So in terms of uh sales stuff, I
  140. 4:45think that I think people don't know how
  141. 4:47people are really freaked out about the
  142. 4:49idea of selling, right? And so I think
  143. 4:50the first reframe is like you're not
  144. 4:52selling, you're helping someone make a
  145. 4:53decision that's going to help
  146. 4:54themselves. And the the the the front
  147. 4:57part of that is that and I do think that
  148. 4:59the number one predictor of good sales
  149. 5:01is conviction. And so fundamentally you
  150. 5:04have one person who should believe in
  151. 5:06something, another person who does not
  152. 5:08believe it yet and trust is the thing
  153. 5:10that transfers that conviction. So if
  154. 5:13fundamentally there's the two things you
  155. 5:14need, you need trust and you need
  156. 5:15conviction. Most times sales people
  157. 5:17don't have 100% trust. Sorry, 100%
  158. 5:19conviction. And so the also the idea of
  159. 5:22conviction as a binary is false. So it's
  160. 5:24not like I believe it or I don't believe
  161. 5:25in it is to what extent do I believe it
  162. 5:27right and so that's why like in terms of
  163. 5:29if I want to improve a sales team I can
  164. 5:31do the drills which we do and that's
  165. 5:33like blocking tackling but the thing
  166. 5:34that really juices a sales team is
  167. 5:36hearing the testimonials of the people
  168. 5:37that they sold last week and what
  169. 5:39they're doing today and how their lives
  170. 5:40have changed and so I noticed this
  171. 5:42because on my sales teams when we were
  172. 5:44in person whenever I did weigh out day
  173. 5:46which is when everyone finished their
  174. 5:47challenges and everybody was crying and
  175. 5:49so excited I tried to stack as many
  176. 5:51sales appointments as I could while
  177. 5:52people were weighing And during those
  178. 5:54days, we closed like 100%. Cuz people
  179. 5:56were like, "Dude, how can you not think
  180. 5:58this works? It's right there." And so
  181. 6:00the thing is is like you can either
  182. 6:01trick yourself into having the right
  183. 6:03tone or you can train yourself. And I
  184. 6:06think that it's much easier to trick
  185. 6:08yourself into it by just simply
  186. 6:09believing because if you talk if you
  187. 6:11truly believe in the product, you will
  188. 6:13talk about it differently.
  189. 6:16And so in terms of an understanding of
  190. 6:17selling, if you need to have conviction
  191. 6:19and you need to have trust, trust is
  192. 6:21going to come from expertise and some
  193. 6:23level of rapport, right? And so um I
  194. 6:27think that overarchingly to help someone
  195. 6:30sell, we just have to ask the right
  196. 6:31questions to get someone to come to the
  197. 6:33conclusion on their own. And so most
  198. 6:35sales conversations follow more or less
  199. 6:37the same framework if you know what
  200. 6:38you're doing. Otherwise, people are just
  201. 6:40chasing their tail and trying to chase a
  202. 6:42prospect to an outcome that the prospect
  203. 6:44doesn't know how. like we've had this
  204. 6:45conversation a hundred times. They have
  205. 6:47only had it once. We should be the one
  206. 6:48knowing how this conversation is
  207. 6:49supposed to go, right? We should also
  208. 6:51come in with a massive advantage to how
  209. 6:53to have this conversation go the way we
  210. 6:54want it to cuz we do it on [ __ ] day,
  211. 6:56right? [laughter]
  212. 6:57And so, you know, big big front-end
  213. 7:00pieces is like why are they there?
  214. 7:04What's the problem? What have they done
  215. 7:05so far? Understanding where they failed,
  216. 7:08seeing why our product is different from
  217. 7:10the things that they failed. asking for
  218. 7:12permission to explain about the product,
  219. 7:14explaining the product not in any way
  220. 7:17based on features but only based on the
  221. 7:18experiences that they will have as a
  222. 7:20result of it and using analogies to
  223. 7:21explain those experiences, right? Um,
  224. 7:24and then and then having a close at the
  225. 7:27end, which the the Tik Tok I think that
  226. 7:29you you referenced is like a nobased
  227. 7:31close. And I think a lot of natural
  228. 7:33sales people do this anyways. Like if I
  229. 7:35want something, I'm going be like, "Hey,
  230. 7:36can you do this for me?" I'm like, "Hey,
  231. 7:37would you mind?" And they say, "No, they
  232. 7:39don't. I don't mind." Right? like this
  233. 7:41natural communication dynamics that most
  234. 7:43people who naturally know how to
  235. 7:44persuade people or at least influence do
  236. 7:46that on their own. This is just
  237. 7:47retroactively looking at it and saying,
  238. 7:49"What did I do different? Like, why is
  239. 7:50this different?" And um in terms of like
  240. 7:54overcoming because people are afraid of
  241. 7:55confrontation, right? That's what
  242. 7:56they're afraid of. And so I believe that
  243. 7:59you can sell without ever having
  244. 8:00confrontation. And you can do that with
  245. 8:03what I like to call childlike curiosity.
  246. 8:05And so if someone says, "Um, well, my
  247. 8:09husband's not going to approve of that."
  248. 8:10I'm like, "Why wouldn't he? What do you
  249. 8:13like?" Huh, that's so interesting. Tell
  250. 8:15me more about that. rather than like all
  251. 8:17right let's like your husband's an
  252. 8:19[ __ ] like that's not going to work
  253. 8:20because in arguments no one wins right
  254. 8:22and so be like why why would he think
  255. 8:24that because because I would think that
  256. 8:26he wants what's best for you right yeah
  257. 8:29he wants what's best for does he know
  258. 8:30you're struggling with this right now
  259. 8:31well I mean yeah he knows I'm struggling
  260. 8:33with it okay so he wants what's best for
  261. 8:34you knows you're struggling with it so
  262. 8:35why do you think he would be opposed of
  263. 8:37solving something that that you're
  264. 8:38currently struggling with
  265. 8:41just so I understand would he be happier
  266. 8:43if you continue to struggle well no it's
  267. 8:46like well great then would you be
  268. 8:48opposed to moving forward today and that
  269. 8:49way and hey if you go home to your
  270. 8:51husband then you make a joke and it
  271. 8:52lights the scenario and then you close
  272. 8:53it right and so it's I think childlike
  273. 8:56curiosity is the immediate that you have
  274. 8:58to train because people get defensive so
  275. 9:00that is one thing that like fighters
  276. 9:02talk about when they're in the ring like
  277. 9:04in the beginning you breathe in too much
  278. 9:05right I don't know if like if you've
  279. 9:07been in like sparring and stuff like you
  280. 9:08breathe in you breathe too much you
  281. 9:09hyperventilate and so the guys who've
  282. 9:11done it enough they slow down their
  283. 9:13breathing because when they get things
  284. 9:14get intense they can slow down. And so I
  285. 9:16think sales is a lot the same way where
  286. 9:18you're like your adrenaline kicks in,
  287. 9:19start breathing faster, it's fight or
  288. 9:20flight. So you got to be able to slow it
  289. 9:21down and be like, "Huh, that's crazy. I
  290. 9:24wouldn't have thought that. Okay, tell
  291. 9:25me more about that." And like now you're
  292. 9:26interested and then they don't feel like
  293. 9:28you're combating them. They feel like
  294. 9:30you genuinely are interested and want to
  295. 9:33help them, which is what you should be
  296. 9:34doing because you should be selling them
  297. 9:36only if
  298. 9:37>> and so the reason that entrepreneurship
  299. 9:38is such almost like a spiritual journey
  300. 9:40is that you you earn the right to charge
  301. 9:42more because you no longer think the
  302. 9:45smaller amount of money is worth their
  303. 9:46time. There are beliefs that people who
  304. 9:48have money have which translate to
  305. 9:50behaviors that poor people don't have
  306. 9:53and translate to different behaviors. So
  307. 9:55what does that mean?
  308. 9:58A rich kid will choose not to pursue a
  309. 10:01lower leverage opportunity because it's
  310. 10:03not worth their time because they were
  311. 10:05taught it wasn't worth their time. The
  312. 10:07career paths that they'll have to choose
  313. 10:09from will be significantly skewed
  314. 10:11towards things where they'll get
  315. 10:12disproportionate returns. And a lot of
  316. 10:14that is just knowledge about it, not
  317. 10:16even knowledge how to do it. I remember
  318. 10:18when I first found out, I had never
  319. 10:19heard of management consulting. I had
  320. 10:21never heard of private equity. I had
  321. 10:22never heard of investment banking. I
  322. 10:24never heard of any of this stuff when I
  323. 10:25went to college because where I was from
  324. 10:27in Baltimore, a rich person was a
  325. 10:29doctor. That was a rich person. And so,
  326. 10:31and to be fair, my dad's a doctor. So, I
  327. 10:34felt I was like, "Okay, cool." When I
  328. 10:36went to Vanderbilt, I felt like one of
  329. 10:39the poorest people there because I had
  330. 10:40never seen what New York money was. I
  331. 10:42had never seen what California money
  332. 10:44was. I had seen what Baltimore rich was,
  333. 10:46which is that you have, you know, my dad
  334. 10:47has a business with two secretaries and,
  335. 10:49you know, we always had food. I never
  336. 10:51had to worry about it. I still have the
  337. 10:52immigrant mentality of like we don't
  338. 10:53use, you know, paper towels cuz they're
  339. 10:55expensive. But like that's just cuz he
  340. 10:56came here with a thousand bucks and I
  341. 10:58that still got transmitted in some ways.
  342. 11:01You almost have to you almost have to
  343. 11:03bat above you have to hit above your
  344. 11:05weight class, right? Which is even
  345. 11:07though it sounds un like and in the
  346. 11:10story of when I actually made my first
  347. 11:12high ticket sale in my life was when I I
  348. 11:14actually said a number that I wanted the
  349. 11:16person to say no to and then they said
  350. 11:18yes. That was how that actually that
  351. 11:21belief was broken for me. So, as much as
  352. 11:22I want to say like this is what you have
  353. 11:24to do. I'm this guy, you know, guy on
  354. 11:25YouTube that you just saw or whatever,
  355. 11:27like Leila and I were selling uh we we
  356. 11:30started doing these gym launches. We
  357. 11:32would sell memberships through gyms. We
  358. 11:33would collect the money. Um and that was
  359. 11:35the model. We'd fly around the country.
  360. 11:37That's what we did. Um there were some
  361. 11:38issues with that model, which I've
  362. 11:39talked about in other videos. And so
  363. 11:41then all of a sudden, uh Leila started
  364. 11:43selling weight loss directly. Made a
  365. 11:44little brand for her called Queen
  366. 11:45Transformation. we started selling these
  367. 11:47$500 online training packages um over
  368. 11:49the phone and that started working and
  369. 11:51so I had these gyms that I was supposed
  370. 11:53to do these launches at that I had
  371. 11:55decided I wasn't going to do them
  372. 11:56anymore and so I had eight gyms I was
  373. 11:57supposed to call up and like basically
  374. 11:59cancel on them and so um on the first
  375. 12:01phone call the guy was actually referral
  376. 12:03and he was like dude you saved my my
  377. 12:04friend's gym like I know you can do this
  378. 12:06and I I was so beat down at this point I
  379. 12:08was like dude I'm not f like I'm not
  380. 12:10doing it and he kept asking for it and
  381. 12:12then finally I was like all right dude
  382. 12:14like I'll show you what I do. Um, but
  383. 12:16I'm not flying out there to help you if
  384. 12:18you can't close. And mind you, I come
  385. 12:19from the done for you world of like I
  386. 12:20literally did everything. I fronted the
  387. 12:22money. I fronted the cash. I built I'd
  388. 12:24literally buy the tables. I'd print the
  389. 12:25the contracts out. I'd run the ads. We'd
  390. 12:27work the leads and we'd sell them
  391. 12:28straight in the gym. So, I did
  392. 12:29everything. So, me saying that was just
  393. 12:30a hope that he would just like say screw
  394. 12:32off. And he was like, "No, I get it. I
  395. 12:33get it." And he was like, "Well, how
  396. 12:35much?" And so, I said, and remember, I'm
  397. 12:36used to selling $500 16-week training
  398. 12:39packages where you have to show up like
  399. 12:41every, you know, three times a week to
  400. 12:42do stuff. I said $6,000. So for me it
  401. 12:46was a 12x compared to the price that I
  402. 12:48was used to selling at. And I just said
  403. 12:50it. So I was like, he's just going to
  404. 12:51say nope. And then I can just hang up
  405. 12:53and just move on to my next call. And he
  406. 12:55said 6K. And I was like, yeah, $6,000.
  407. 12:59And he was like, done. And I I remember
  408. 13:04like floating out of my body in this
  409. 13:06moment being like, "Holy [ __ ] six grand
  410. 13:12from one call." And I didn't I didn't
  411. 13:15even have the thing. I didn't even have
  412. 13:16the thing that I had sold him yet cuz I
  413. 13:18just didn't think he was going to say
  414. 13:19yes. I didn't think to have to build it,
  415. 13:20right? And so I was like, "Holy shit."
  416. 13:23And so then the next So I had seven more
  417. 13:25calls. I called the next guy. Same
  418. 13:26conversation. Well, I was like, "Now I
  419. 13:27got to build this thing." But it went
  420. 13:29really smooth. And I was like, "Uh, he
  421. 13:30was like, "How much?" I was like, "Eight
  422. 13:32grand." He was like, "Yeah, done." And I
  423. 13:34was like, "8 grand?" I was like, "I'm up
  424. 13:37$14,000 in a I'm not even in a day. It's
  425. 13:40in a morning." So then I had six more
  426. 13:42calls. And by the end of the, you know,
  427. 13:43the next call, same thing. How much?
  428. 13:4510K. Next call. And by the end of the
  429. 13:48day, I done $60,000
  430. 13:50in in collected. And I was like, "What
  431. 13:54the [ __ ] just happened?" I had no idea
  432. 13:58what was going on. Uh, and so Ila came
  433. 14:00back after she was selling the $500
  434. 14:02memberships and I was like, "Babe," I
  435. 14:04was like, "I just made 60 grand." And
  436. 14:06she was like, "What?"
  437. 14:09She's like, "I she was like, I thought
  438. 14:10we were doing the weight loss thing." I
  439. 14:11was like, "No, I think we're still doing
  440. 14:12the gym thing. I think we were just
  441. 14:13doing it wrong." And this is why I'm
  442. 14:15telling you this, cuz like that moment
  443. 14:17of all the moments in my entire career,
  444. 14:19that was the moment where I elevated.
  445. 14:22That was the moment where my life really
  446. 14:24changed. And so I bring this up because
  447. 14:27you might be like, "Well, what at what
  448. 14:29price point should I start?" Right? It's
  449. 14:30going to be relative whether you're
  450. 14:31selling to consumers, you're selling to
  451. 14:32businesses. And I, these are just a
  452. 14:34couple rules of thumb that I'll just
  453. 14:35tell you that I've kind of worked
  454. 14:36around. I'd say that for um for a
  455. 14:39consumer, an impulse purchase is $500 or
  456. 14:41$600. A higher ticket purchase is
  457. 14:43usually going to be somewhere between
  458. 14:45$300 and $10,000. All right? Typically,
  459. 14:47and that's again for services. If you're
  460. 14:49looking at like assets, it's a different
  461. 14:51game. You're buying houses and cars, a
  462. 14:52different game, right? But if you're
  463. 14:53selling just like pure, I'm going to
  464. 14:54help you do some stuff. I'm going to
  465. 14:55help fix some stuff. That's usually a
  466. 14:57price one that's quote higher ticket.
  467. 14:59Business, it really depends on the size
  468. 15:00business. If you're selling to Disney,
  469. 15:01you can sell a billion dollar thing,
  470. 15:03right? If you're selling to just small
  471. 15:05business owner on Main Street, remember
  472. 15:07some of them are poor too, right? And so
  473. 15:09for them though, um, you a more normal
  474. 15:11price for something will probably be
  475. 15:13somewhere in the neighborhood of like
  476. 15:14I'd say like a mid-tier is probably, you
  477. 15:16know, $200 to $3,000 a month. A cheaper
  478. 15:18price for a business owner would be
  479. 15:19somewhere in the neighborhood of like
  480. 15:21400 to 800 a month. Um maybe maybe just
  481. 15:23call call it closer to 500 bucks a month
  482. 15:26um as like a a cheaper number for a
  483. 15:28business. And you're like $500 a month
  484. 15:30is cheap for a business. It's like yeah
  485. 15:31super expensive for a consumer, pretty
  486. 15:33cheap for a business, right? One of the
  487. 15:35big issues I would say that poor people
  488. 15:37think about compared to rich people is
  489. 15:39that poor people will think in terms of
  490. 15:41cost and I would say rich people will
  491. 15:43think in terms of the ratio the return
  492. 15:46cost versus value. So if I were to say
  493. 15:49hey I've got this thing that's let's say
  494. 15:52it's let's say it's $20,000. A poor
  495. 15:55person just hearing the price would say
  496. 15:58that's expensive. But if I said a rich
  497. 16:01person, if I said, "Hey, my thing is
  498. 16:03$20,000." They wouldn't then say,
  499. 16:05"That's expensive." They would say, "For
  500. 16:06what?" And if I said, "Uh,
  501. 16:11share a class A share of Berkshire
  502. 16:13Hathway, which is an $800,000 stock for
  503. 16:16$20,000, that would be the deal of the
  504. 16:19century." Right? If I said it was
  505. 16:20$20,000 for a brand new Lamborghini,
  506. 16:22they would say that's a great deal. So
  507. 16:24even though it costs a lot of money,
  508. 16:27it's great value. And this is what I
  509. 16:29did. I struggled for such a long time to
  510. 16:31understand because it was like I almost
  511. 16:33had this emotional reaction to zeros.
  512. 16:35It's like if I saw zeros I was like, "Oh
  513. 16:36my god, it's so much, right?" And and so
  514. 16:39I know where you're coming from because
  515. 16:41you almost want to you almost choke on
  516. 16:43the price. So I'll give you a couple
  517. 16:44little tactics for this to like get
  518. 16:45around it. So one is if you're in
  519. 16:47person, you can write down the price and
  520. 16:48then turn it and slide it to them. Uh or
  521. 16:50you can use a calculator and turn it to
  522. 16:52them if you like literally choke on the
  523. 16:53price because some people do do that.
  524. 16:55Um, the second thing that you can do,
  525. 16:58and this is a really good little little
  526. 16:59pricing hack for for selling, is before
  527. 17:01you say the price, you say, "Hey, before
  528. 17:03I tell you the price, it's super
  529. 17:05expensive." And so, what's beautiful
  530. 17:07about telling someone it's expensive,
  531. 17:09before you tell them the price, is that
  532. 17:11if someone's rich, they're going to
  533. 17:12immediately think what's expensive for
  534. 17:14them. And so, they're going to think a
  535. 17:17number, and then you're going to say the
  536. 17:18number, and they're going to they're
  537. 17:18going to literally be like, "Oh, fine."
  538. 17:21If they're poor and you say it's
  539. 17:23expensive, they're going to brace
  540. 17:24themselves for a number that's big. And
  541. 17:25then when you give them that number,
  542. 17:26they were at least braced for it. And so
  543. 17:29in either way, you actually create what
  544. 17:31I would consider an emotional anchor
  545. 17:33that's perfectly accommodating to the
  546. 17:35buying power of the prospect. And most
  547. 17:37sales people get choked up right at that
  548. 17:39point. So it's like give yourself a
  549. 17:40breather. It's going to be expensive.
  550. 17:42You take a breath, they take a breath,
  551. 17:43then you deliver. Right? So just a
  552. 17:45little tactic that works and also can
  553. 17:47help uh increase sales. So, a good way
  554. 17:50to know if you're actually underpriced
  555. 17:51is to actually look at your close rates.
  556. 17:54All right? And so, if your close rates
  557. 17:56are 80% or let's say 60 to 80, I'll put
  558. 18:00this in tiers for you. Um, 50 to 60,
  559. 18:0640 to 50, and then 30 to 40, and then
  560. 18:1130.
  561. 18:12Okay? So, let's say these are your close
  562. 18:14rates.
  563. 18:17So that means if you talk to 10 people
  564. 18:19here, you close eight, right? If you're
  565. 18:21closing 80%. You probably right now have
  566. 18:25a 2 to 3x in pricing. Sorry, a 3 to 4x
  567. 18:27in pricing. Excuse me. A 3 to 4x in
  568. 18:29pricing just sitting there. I know that
  569. 18:31sounds absurd, but think about it.
  570. 18:33You're going to get the 80% are not
  571. 18:35going to say yes anymore. I want to be
  572. 18:36very clear. You might drop to like 35%.
  573. 18:39But if 35% of people are paying four
  574. 18:42times more, you're making 120% of the
  575. 18:45revenue that you were making before. All
  576. 18:47right? And so like you're making way
  577. 18:48more money. Now, at 60 to 80, you
  578. 18:52probably have a 2 to 3x that you have
  579. 18:54sitting there in price. If you're
  580. 18:55between 50 and 60, you probably have a
  581. 18:571.5x to 2x sitting there. If you're at
  582. 19:0040 to 50%, you're probably at 1.25 to
  583. 19:031.5x. All right. If you're here, I
  584. 19:05consider this to be appropriately
  585. 19:06priced. If you're closing 30 to 40%,
  586. 19:08you're priced about right. If you're
  587. 19:10below 30, I would say get better at
  588. 19:12selling, [snorts]
  589. 19:15which part of getting better at selling
  590. 19:17can be make the offer better or talk to
  591. 19:20better customers. All right? And so
  592. 19:22sometimes you will try and pitch a high
  593. 19:24ticket thing but not have your core
  594. 19:26offer which might be lower. So you have
  595. 19:27an anchor offer. Um but the people that
  596. 19:30you're speaking with, you didn't qualify
  597. 19:33them. So, if I want to say, "Hey, I'm
  598. 19:35talking to million-dollar plus business
  599. 19:36owners." I will have a significantly
  600. 19:38higher close rate if I'm only talking to
  601. 19:40them. So, all of what I described is
  602. 19:42something called lead scoring or lead
  603. 19:44qualification. And so, what that means
  604. 19:46is that there's a certain type of
  605. 19:48customer that's more likely to buy your
  606. 19:49thing, right? Somebody who has more
  607. 19:51money is more likely to buy your more
  608. 19:53expensive thing. And so, if we know that
  609. 19:55the people who have the money are the
  610. 19:57ones that buy our expensive thing, then
  611. 19:58we should try and just tell the world we
  612. 20:01only cater to these people. Now, the
  613. 20:03next thing that will come up is people
  614. 20:05will say, "Hey, um, I would sell for a
  615. 20:07really expensive thing, but no one will
  616. 20:09buy it because there's guys down the
  617. 20:10street who will sell it for less because
  618. 20:12they're brokies selling to brokies."
  619. 20:14You're right.
  620. 20:17And that's because you can't sell the
  621. 20:19same thing. You got to sell something
  622. 20:21different, which is why I wrote my first
  623. 20:22book on this, which is the first chapter
  624. 20:24is you're selling a commodity. you're
  625. 20:27selling something that someone could
  626. 20:29reasonably hold your thing and their
  627. 20:30thing up and say these two things are
  628. 20:32the same so I'll chip pick the cheaper
  629. 20:34one and that's reasonable for them to do
  630. 20:35it the idea is that we want to price our
  631. 20:37thing so high and be in such a clearly
  632. 20:40different category that people say these
  633. 20:41two things must be different I have to
  634. 20:43analyze these independently and so
  635. 20:45within the context of what do I get for
  636. 20:47my money the rich person wants three
  637. 20:49things they want it to be fast they want
  638. 20:51it to be easy and they want it to be
  639. 20:52guaranteed
  640. 20:54and so everything that you do that is
  641. 20:56more difficult for these people. You
  642. 20:58have to make easier and these people
  643. 20:59will be willing to pay for it. And so
  644. 21:01you pre-do some of that work for them.
  645. 21:03You pre-choose some of the food. You go
  646. 21:05ahead of time. You drive ahead. You
  647. 21:07scout the location. You drive it to the
  648. 21:08door. Whatever it is. But when you look
  649. 21:10at, well, what does it cost for me to
  650. 21:11drive this thing to the door? It cost me
  651. 21:1210 bucks, but they're willing to pay a
  652. 21:13hundred for it. Whereas this person is
  653. 21:16nagging me on the last five bucks. It's
  654. 21:18a different game. But this is where all
  655. 21:20the money's at. The reality of how
  656. 21:22services work is that you can tell how
  657. 21:24advanced a service business owner is by
  658. 21:25how expensive their product is. Because
  659. 21:27if you're actually good, you have more
  660. 21:29demand than you have supply. If you have
  661. 21:30more demand than you have supply, what
  662. 21:32should you do? Raise price. That's how
  663. 21:33the supply demand curve works. And so
  664. 21:35you continue to raise your price until
  665. 21:37you're at a point where you're at
  666. 21:38equilibrium where like you can handle
  667. 21:39the amount of demand that you have. If
  668. 21:41you're still good, you still get more
  669. 21:43demand because word of mouth continues
  670. 21:44and you keep going up. And that becomes
  671. 21:46the virtual virtuous cycle of price and
  672. 21:49services. Because when you have a higher
  673. 21:51price, you have higher gross margins.
  674. 21:52When you have higher gross margins, you
  675. 21:53can hire better talent. When you have
  676. 21:54better talent, you can deliver better
  677. 21:55services. When you have better services,
  678. 21:56you get better reputation. When you have
  679. 21:57better reputation, what does that do? It
  680. 21:59drives demand, which then drives price.
  681. 22:02And so, this is the cycle that every
  682. 22:04business has to go through. And you
  683. 22:05signal to the marketplace. You
  684. 22:07communicate to the marketplace. Pricing
  685. 22:08is a two-way communication. You tell
  686. 22:11them what you're about, and then they
  687. 22:12will self- select as the correct
  688. 22:14customers for you.
  689. 22:16And so you can see where someone's at in
  690. 22:18their business journey by how high they
  691. 22:19are priced compared to people who sell
  692. 22:21comparable services because people will
  693. 22:24very much take price as an indication of
  694. 22:26value.
  695. 22:28They just do because in general things
  696. 22:30that are priced higher are better. Not
  697. 22:32always, but often. It's a good enough
  698. 22:34rule of thumb that people in general
  699. 22:35will do that. You like this might blow
  700. 22:38your mind if you've like not met people
  701. 22:40with money. When they go to shop at a
  702. 22:42store, they price from high to low.
  703. 22:45They literally look at the most
  704. 22:46expensive stuff first because that's
  705. 22:48probably the stuff that's for them.
  706. 22:52They don't want to save money anymore.
  707. 22:53They want to get better value. They want
  708. 22:55better stuff. They want to skip the
  709. 22:57line. They want to get it faster. They
  710. 22:59want it better. They want it to be a
  711. 23:01higher quality, you know, higher quality
  712. 23:02ingredients. They want it to be more
  713. 23:05made by somebody who's more noteworthy.
  714. 23:07All of these things. And fundamentally,
  715. 23:10that is what this book goes into
  716. 23:11tremendous detail talking about, which
  717. 23:12is the offers book. All right.
  718. 23:14So, with that being said, sell to the
  719. 23:17rich. They pay better. It's better to
  720. 23:19sell fewer expensive customers than many
  721. 23:23broke customers.
  722. 23:25And if you sell to rich people for long
  723. 23:27enough, they will make you one. This is
  724. 23:28an upsell offer. It can also be used on
  725. 23:30the front end. This is called free
  726. 23:32alternate revenue stream. And so, you'll
  727. 23:34notice that I uh my names the names of
  728. 23:36the of the mechanisms in the last
  729. 23:38chapters are not nearly as uh refined.
  730. 23:40You know, win your money back. I think I
  731. 23:42called uh I think it was like free
  732. 23:45deposit
  733. 23:46with conditions or something is what I
  734. 23:48call it. So I called these like really
  735. 23:49technical things. Um and then I came
  736. 23:51with like win your money back and like
  737. 23:52pay less now or pay more later which I
  738. 23:54used to call invisible free but no one
  739. 23:55would know what that means. So I try to
  740. 23:56make the names more descriptive. Um but
  741. 23:58without further ado let's us begin. All
  742. 24:02right. Um let's do it. Okay. So,
  743. 24:052019ish,
  744. 24:06the following is a rough paraphrasing
  745. 24:08from a story a gym owner told me that
  746. 24:10taught me number one, an excellent
  747. 24:11downell/upsell strategy, and number two,
  748. 24:14a really nice way to graciously exit
  749. 24:16anyone from a sales conversation who
  750. 24:18doesn't want to buy your main product.
  751. 24:19So, when someone walks in, tours the
  752. 24:21place, and says no to joining, which
  753. 24:23used to kill me, I had this realization.
  754. 24:25Instead of awkwardly escorting at them
  755. 24:27out of my gym, why not offer them
  756. 24:28something free instead? Instead, I say,
  757. 24:31"No worries." And then I hand them a USB
  758. 24:33drive. Here's everything you need to do
  759. 24:34this program from home absolutely free.
  760. 24:37You should see their faces. In this
  761. 24:38industry where everyone's trying to lock
  762. 24:40you into contracts, they they think I'm
  763. 24:41some kind of saint. But here's the real
  764. 24:43move. After I give them the USB, I
  765. 24:45simply add, to get you a head start,
  766. 24:48let's just book you for a nutrition
  767. 24:49consultation so you can see the results
  768. 24:51you want. The orientation is on us. We
  769. 24:54just want to get this community healthy
  770. 24:55and maybe when you can afford it, you'll
  771. 24:57think of us. Okay. So almost 100% of
  772. 25:02people who said no to my gym membership
  773. 25:03end up in these nutrition consultations.
  774. 25:05And guess what? During these
  775. 25:07orientations, we sell them supplements
  776. 25:09instead of workout programs. The crazy
  777. 25:11part, these people who initially
  778. 25:13rejected working out spend 50% more on
  779. 25:15supplements than my regular clients.
  780. 25:17I've basically created a no prospect
  781. 25:19left behind approach. And my sales team
  782. 25:21loves it because they help everyone who
  783. 25:22walks in. Everyone around here calls it
  784. 25:24the no sale. Perfect name, right? I'm
  785. 25:27selling to people who think they aren't
  786. 25:29buying anything. And once I started
  787. 25:30doing that, I thought to myself, why not
  788. 25:32offer this free USB as my front end just
  789. 25:35to get people in, then I can upsell them
  790. 25:37an in-person version for money? Or they
  791. 25:40can keep buying supplements from us
  792. 25:41every month and not even use up gym
  793. 25:43space. Win-win. So that's what I did and
  794. 25:45it worked. So it goes to show that
  795. 25:48people want the same problem solved in
  796. 25:50different ways. So offering multiple
  797. 25:52ways to solve their problems gives you a
  798. 25:54few more at bats. What's more, this
  799. 25:56strategy allowed him and the gyms who
  800. 25:58subsequently modeled it in our
  801. 25:59community, a way to turn every prospect
  802. 26:02into a sale. There are a few ways to use
  803. 26:04it, so let's dive in. As a downell, like
  804. 26:07in the story, or as a primary offer,
  805. 26:09which he alludes to at the end. We'll
  806. 26:10dive into both. So, here's the
  807. 26:13description. This is an offer that
  808. 26:14depends strongly on the types of
  809. 26:16monetization/revenue streams available
  810. 26:18to a business. In the simplest terms,
  811. 26:20we're providing one type of service or
  812. 26:22product for free and then upselling
  813. 26:24something else. You can upsell something
  814. 26:26as a one-time service or product to
  815. 26:28offset advertising costs. Or you can
  816. 26:30make the upsell recurring.
  817. 26:33Or you can plan your entire business
  818. 26:35around giving one thing away for free
  819. 26:36and monetizing with another. In other
  820. 26:38words, it works for one-time services or
  821. 26:41even recurring services, provided the
  822. 26:43alternative revenue stream has
  823. 26:44sufficiently high margins to afford both
  824. 26:46fulfillment types. both uh but most
  825. 26:49variations chunk up to two larger
  826. 26:51buckets. So either you do this one which
  827. 26:54is called a paired upsell. So I give you
  828. 26:56thing A for free in exchange for buying
  829. 26:59thing B or an independent upsell. So I
  830. 27:03give you thing A for free and I will
  831. 27:05encourage you to buy thing B. So those
  832. 27:07are slightly nuanced ways of expressing
  833. 27:09the same concept or offer but they'll
  834. 27:11hopefully generate some ideas for you on
  835. 27:12how to use this in your business or your
  836. 27:14client's businesses. So I'll give you
  837. 27:15some examples. So, if you had a storage
  838. 27:17business, the offer might be you get a
  839. 27:19free month of storage. The paired upsell
  840. 27:21would be, do you want to buy a lock for
  841. 27:23your storage unit? The the only locks
  842. 27:25that fit our doors are the ones we sell
  843. 27:27and cannot be purchased elsewhere. So,
  844. 27:29I'm going to give you this, but you got
  845. 27:30to buy that, right? Um, weight loss
  846. 27:33clinic. So, a free 28-day program, the
  847. 27:36independent upsell, so the different
  848. 27:37version at nutrition orientation, a
  849. 27:40kickoff program after the first sign up.
  850. 27:42you're gonna want this $400 supplement
  851. 27:44package to get the best results for the
  852. 27:45free 28 days of service. So, think about
  853. 27:47like this. It's like you someone comes
  854. 27:48in and says, "Hey, I I going to a weight
  855. 27:51loss clinic and I say, "Hey, we're going
  856. 27:52to have all these docs on staff and you
  857. 27:54know what? We're going to help you for
  858. 27:55free." They're like, "What?" It's like,
  859. 27:56"Yeah, but on the next consultation,
  860. 27:58we'll tell you the supplements and the
  861. 27:59meal plans and all that stuff you're
  862. 28:00going to need." At the next
  863. 28:01consultation, you then upsell all the
  864. 28:03meals and all this other stuff that's
  865. 28:05going to go with it, but you give the
  866. 28:06service for free. So, this is kind of
  867. 28:08like that um either paired or
  868. 28:11independent, but it's the core of this
  869. 28:12is that you've got two things and the
  870. 28:14margin from one covers the delivery of
  871. 28:16the other. So, usually it's like one
  872. 28:17that's way cheaper and one that's more
  873. 28:19expensive, but you give this thing for
  874. 28:21right for free to attract people on the
  875. 28:22front end, but then you basically pair
  876. 28:24it or make it so they have to or they
  877. 28:25should or most likely will buy this
  878. 28:27thing on recurring. And by doing that,
  879. 28:29it makes it a super sexy offer. So, I'll
  880. 28:31give you physical therapist example. So,
  881. 28:33let's say the offer is four free
  882. 28:34treatments, which would be a crazy
  883. 28:36front-end offer. the independent upsell
  884. 28:38would be you're going to need these
  885. 28:39orthotics, these bands, these braces,
  886. 28:41these oils, and athletic tape to
  887. 28:42maximize the effectiveness of the free
  888. 28:44treatments. And so, it's like we're
  889. 28:46going to do these free treatments no
  890. 28:46matter what. I was like, but here's the
  891. 28:48stuff you're going to need to get the
  892. 28:49most out of it, right? Uh if you had an
  893. 28:52education business or software. So, um I
  894. 28:55will coach or onboard you for free
  895. 28:56indefinitely on your agency or your XYZ
  896. 28:59as long as you use our software. It's an
  897. 29:01example of that. So, paired upsell would
  898. 29:04be we monetize inherently on the
  899. 29:05software itself. So this is literally
  900. 29:07what I did uh for Allen. So Allen was
  901. 29:09our software company. And so what I did
  902. 29:11was I I basically helped agencies scale
  903. 29:16for free. I gave them all the education,
  904. 29:18gave them everything as long as used our
  905. 29:20software. And so the software because of
  906. 29:22the nature of how it worked basically
  907. 29:23had I don't say a revenue split, but it
  908. 29:25had a percentage of it backed into a
  909. 29:28cost a cost.
  910. 29:32I won't get into the economics.
  911. 29:33Basically, I would say it backed into
  912. 29:35kind of like a royalty or rev share on
  913. 29:37on the agency that was using it
  914. 29:38functionally as a CRM. What's up,
  915. 29:40sweetie? I'm going to finish my chapter.
  916. 29:42We're all We're all hanging out. We're
  917. 29:43reading. Okay, so let me give you a real
  918. 29:46example. Uh uh so free book on real
  919. 29:48estate. Okay, so upsell number one. Uh
  920. 29:52hold on.
  921. 29:54There we go. Making sure I didn't my
  922. 29:55page one stuck together. Uh free book on
  923. 29:57real estate. So upsell number one would
  924. 29:58be shipping cost. Upsell number two
  925. 30:00would be the audio version. Upsell
  926. 30:01number three would be the deal contract
  927. 30:02templates. Upsell number four would be
  928. 30:04where to find deals, which would be a
  929. 30:05training. Upsell number five, how to uh
  930. 30:07find financing if you have no money.
  931. 30:09Note, each of these are things uh
  932. 30:10necessary uh for being successful using
  933. 30:12the strategies outlined in the book. The
  934. 30:14hardest sale is the first sale, the
  935. 30:16opportunity vehicle, the book. The rest
  936. 30:18of the upsellers are things that they
  937. 30:19need along the journey. So, you can give
  938. 30:21the free book away, but then along the
  939. 30:23path, they have these other things,
  940. 30:25right? So for me um a version of this
  941. 30:27and the reason I think I I pulled this
  942. 30:29out of the money models book is that it
  943. 30:32was a little bit similar um but
  944. 30:34obviously the use case I show in here a
  945. 30:36little bit different than the the core
  946. 30:37one that I have inside of money models
  947. 30:38but I included in here because they
  948. 30:40would I think it would it'll jog
  949. 30:41different people's memories uh in a
  950. 30:43different way. So um couple details. So
  951. 30:45you want to use a multi-step sales
  952. 30:47process with this offer. Uh if you're
  953. 30:48marketing thing A for free then you have
  954. 30:51to be able to give thing away for free.
  955. 30:52So he was giving out actual USB things
  956. 30:54to anybody even if they didn't want to
  957. 30:55buy anything. So if you want to
  958. 30:56advertise compliantly, you have to like
  959. 30:58if you're going to say something's free,
  960. 30:59you have to give away for someone to get
  961. 31:00it for free. All right. Um now that
  962. 31:03being said, you can give something away
  963. 31:04for free as and then encourage people to
  964. 31:06buy stuff. I mean that's the nature of
  965. 31:07capitalism. Like you come in for the
  966. 31:09free drink and then we say, "Hey, don't
  967. 31:10you want, you know, a bigger drink with
  968. 31:11that? Don't you want a don't you want a
  969. 31:13sandwich with that?" Like that's just
  970. 31:14marketing. That's fine. Um you just
  971. 31:16can't say come in for a free thing and I
  972. 31:17won't give you the free thing. You have
  973. 31:19to buy this. That's the no. Okay. So um
  974. 31:22I covered that. Great. Um and so the key
  975. 31:25is that if you give something away that
  976. 31:26has low incremental cost as in adding
  977. 31:28another unit doesn't cost much. That's
  978. 31:30why that's how this free thing works.
  979. 31:31Like a book um has a lot of cost in
  980. 31:34terms of developing a book, but the
  981. 31:35actual like cost of printing a book is
  982. 31:37low compared to some of the other things
  983. 31:38that might might that you might upsell.
  984. 31:40Now if you're using this as a front end,
  985. 31:42you want to make the next thing you are
  986. 31:43selling or upselling them uh to be the
  987. 31:45next natural thing that the prospect
  988. 31:46would need. All right? So, it's key to
  989. 31:48understand the prospect's problems and
  990. 31:49solutions um better than they do. And
  991. 31:52so, that's where the good money model
  992. 31:53design becomes really important. Like,
  993. 31:55you should know all the things that a
  994. 31:58customer is going to need to uh
  995. 31:59accomplish. What basic every I've talked
  996. 32:03about the problem solution cycle. Your
  997. 32:05first thing will solve a problem even if
  998. 32:07they haven't used it yet, but in their
  999. 32:08mind because they made the purchase,
  1000. 32:09they've solved that problem. So, now
  1001. 32:12you're like, "Hey, but now that we fixed
  1002. 32:13your teeth or now that we whitened your
  1003. 32:15teeth, your teeth are crooked as hell."
  1004. 32:17And so we got to fix that too now. And
  1005. 32:19now that they're now that we fixed your,
  1006. 32:20you know, crooked teeth and now they're
  1007. 32:22white and they're aligned, they're not
  1008. 32:23healthy. So now we got to do the
  1009. 32:24reinforcements and we got to coat your
  1010. 32:26teeth, right? And so every new solution
  1011. 32:29creates another problem that we can then
  1012. 32:30solve with another upsell. And so we
  1013. 32:32have to think about this ahead of time
  1014. 32:33because they fortunately unfortunately
  1015. 32:35most people only think one decision
  1016. 32:37ahead of time. And so we should just
  1017. 32:38think three decisions ahead of time and
  1018. 32:40then reverse engineer our offers uh to
  1019. 32:42accommodate that. Now in the examples
  1020. 32:44that I gave, the money model does not
  1021. 32:46end there. So there's still more upsells
  1022. 32:48that occur in each of the scenarios. So
  1023. 32:49storage, the one I said earlier, will
  1024. 32:51upsell boxes, larger storage units, and
  1025. 32:53commitment. Weight loss clinic would
  1026. 32:54upsell continuity of service, continuity
  1027. 32:56of supplements, done for you meals,
  1028. 32:57bars, home treatment, etc. Right?
  1029. 32:59They'll also likely close a card for the
  1030. 33:01continuity of service. So the free
  1031. 33:02service is also a free trial plus
  1032. 33:04penalty. This way, you're capturing
  1033. 33:05multiple streams of revenue. Physical
  1034. 33:07therapists will probably also upsell a
  1035. 33:08long-term treatment bundle after or
  1036. 33:10during the four treatment plan, right?
  1037. 33:12And so the effectiveness of this play is
  1038. 33:14based on number one, the prospect's
  1039. 33:16perception of of of how essential or
  1040. 33:18required the next thing is. So kind of
  1041. 33:19like the lock uh in the storage thing.
  1042. 33:21Well, you can't really have a storage
  1043. 33:22unit without a lock on it. Rather was
  1044. 33:24the whole point is that it's safe,
  1045. 33:26right? Uh but the thing is is when you
  1046. 33:27go into a storage unit, you don't you
  1047. 33:28probably if you've ever done this
  1048. 33:29before, you go there and then you're
  1049. 33:30like, "Oh yeah, I forgot. I guess I'm
  1050. 33:32going to have to have a lock." Like most
  1051. 33:33people don't come in prepared with like,
  1052. 33:34"I've got a lock. I've got these boxes."
  1053. 33:36Like they just don't think about it,
  1054. 33:37right? They go get the storage unit and
  1055. 33:38then they get upset all the stuff. Now,
  1056. 33:40number two is what makes this effective
  1057. 33:42is how how seamless the upsell process
  1058. 33:44is for the prospect. So, if you make it
  1059. 33:46frictionless, and this is the key, you
  1060. 33:48can get like 90% plus take rates on
  1061. 33:50these offers because they should feel
  1062. 33:53like it makes total sense to buy. Again,
  1063. 33:54this isn't guaranteeing it's going to
  1064. 33:55happen for you. I'm just saying like it
  1065. 33:57you should shoot for that. Now, the
  1066. 34:00biggest benefit of using this offer as a
  1067. 34:02free frontend is being able to liquidate
  1068. 34:04acquisition cost, meaning cost of
  1069. 34:05getting the person in the door. If you
  1070. 34:06make zero dollars on the free thing
  1071. 34:08obviously, but you know 80% take a $300
  1072. 34:11upsell with 80% margins, then you know
  1073. 34:13that you're making 300 * 80% time 80%
  1074. 34:17which is $192 per free thing that you
  1075. 34:20give away. And that's just the first
  1076. 34:21upsell. And so there will and always
  1077. 34:24should be many others. Now, but since
  1078. 34:26the take rate is so high and it is
  1079. 34:27upfront, this is one of the easiest ways
  1080. 34:29to generate cash upfront with little to
  1081. 34:31no operational drag. And this is what
  1082. 34:33this what makes this kind of attractive.
  1083. 34:35Physical and digital products pair very
  1084. 34:37well with services for this specific
  1085. 34:38money model. So he was giving a digital
  1086. 34:40workout plan with a USB in person
  1087. 34:45because it was still some free value
  1088. 34:46that he could give somebody and say, "I
  1089. 34:47did say that I could give you this free
  1090. 34:49workout stuff." They'd come in and they
  1091. 34:50say, "But you probably want the inerson
  1092. 34:52stuff, so let me upsell that." Um, and
  1093. 34:55again, this was for people who said no.
  1094. 34:56So you can use as a downell or you can
  1095. 34:57use as a front end. Both of those work.
  1096. 34:59Um, so we use this all the time for
  1097. 35:02internal stuff and what I mean is using
  1098. 35:04it to market to an existing audience. So
  1099. 35:06you can encourage them to bring friends
  1100. 35:07for a free thing and so they'll be
  1101. 35:10excited to do that and participate. So
  1102. 35:12I'll tell you an example. So in the fast
  1103. 35:14cash um playbook which is uh one of the
  1104. 35:17is in the uh profit implementation
  1105. 35:19system which is one of the free things
  1106. 35:20you get when you donate 200 bucks. Um,
  1107. 35:22so in the Fast Cash uh playbook,
  1108. 35:25one of the one of the biggest most
  1109. 35:27successful plays we did at Gym Launch,
  1110. 35:28which honestly the foundation of this
  1111. 35:29play is what built Prestige Labs, my big
  1112. 35:30supplement company. And the way it
  1113. 35:32worked was this. So we would we would
  1114. 35:35advertise a 28-day free transformation.
  1115. 35:38And we would say anybody who's a member
  1116. 35:41of the gym can participate in this free,
  1117. 35:43you know, transformation. They get a
  1118. 35:45little more accountability, a little
  1119. 35:46more help, etc. And they could bring a
  1120. 35:47friend to do it, too. And so people
  1121. 35:49would bring one, two, three friends
  1122. 35:50because it was free. But here's how it
  1123. 35:52worked. So let's say you've got a
  1124. 35:54hundred members just for simple sake. So
  1125. 35:57we would email this thing and we would
  1126. 35:58get like 30, 40, 50% people to take the
  1127. 36:02offer because it's free, right? It's
  1128. 36:03just like let's just like get you into
  1129. 36:04gear for the holiday season, whatever.
  1130. 36:06But here's the key. When they'd come in
  1131. 36:08to say they want to sign up for it, we'd
  1132. 36:09say awesome. We'll set you a nutrition
  1133. 36:10consultation. Bring your friend. And
  1134. 36:12then when they come with their friend on
  1135. 36:14the second meeting, then at that meeting
  1136. 36:16we would then sell both of them the
  1137. 36:18supplements that went with the free 28
  1138. 36:20day uh transformation. And so this is a
  1139. 36:22classic example of kind of a free with a
  1140. 36:24second revenue stream. And so we would
  1141. 36:25generate two $3, $400 in supplement
  1142. 36:28sales per person, even though it might
  1143. 36:29have been harder for us to sell $400 of
  1144. 36:32service to somebody who's already at the
  1145. 36:33gym, but because they were doing a
  1146. 36:35program or following some specific
  1147. 36:36thing, they're way more likely to do it.
  1148. 36:38So it's a really good reactivation
  1149. 36:39campaign. It's really good for
  1150. 36:40referrals. And this is why I include
  1151. 36:42this in the fast cash playbook because
  1152. 36:44um I I would slot this in on like one of
  1153. 36:46my four big promotions or six big
  1154. 36:48promotions that I would do per year. And
  1155. 36:50so just having this on a regular basis
  1156. 36:52um like the thing is is like it's all
  1157. 36:54fundamentals. Like doing this stuff is
  1158. 36:57just doing the fundamentals consistently
  1159. 36:58in the business. And what makes a
  1160. 36:59business owner advanced is their ability
  1161. 37:02to do the fundamentals at scale and do
  1162. 37:04it consistently. So I'm getting looks
  1163. 37:06from finish this real quick. Okay. Um,
  1164. 37:11I think I just gave the I think I just
  1165. 37:12literally just described the example.
  1166. 37:14It's freaky. It's like I wrote this
  1167. 37:15book. Um, okay. So, I think I covered
  1168. 37:17the main things there. Okay. Um, and uh,
  1169. 37:20I added one little pro tip in here,
  1170. 37:22which is that um, if you do that kind of
  1171. 37:24bring a friend thing or reactivation
  1172. 37:25thing where someone comes in for that
  1173. 37:27free 28 deal, you really have to
  1174. 37:29casually but uh, succinctly get a good
  1175. 37:33percentage of people to take that
  1176. 37:34upsell. And we have found that if
  1177. 37:36someone does not take the upsell, even
  1178. 37:38the small little like, hey, just buy a
  1179. 37:39supplement when you do the 28 day thing,
  1180. 37:41the likelihood that they then convert
  1181. 37:42into a customer remember and upsell
  1182. 37:44later drops precipitously. So all your
  1183. 37:46focus should be on that free to first
  1184. 37:48upsell conversion. Everything else after
  1185. 37:50that,
  1186. 37:50>> our primary customer acquisition method
  1187. 37:52is doortodoor. It's a two-part sell set
  1188. 37:55or closer model.
  1189. 37:56>> Yep.
  1190. 37:57>> And it's a high turn role. Like we know
  1191. 38:00how to sell windows. We know how to do
  1192. 38:01it well.
  1193. 38:01>> Yeah. Um, but getting reps hired,
  1194. 38:06trained, and retained,
  1195. 38:07>> yeah,
  1196. 38:08>> has been a huge challenge. And so we
  1197. 38:10can't just like
  1198. 38:12>> and and there's there's kind of levels
  1199. 38:14to that, right? There's getting people
  1200. 38:15interested enough to say yes to the job.
  1201. 38:17>> Yeah.
  1202. 38:18>> There's getting them to stick past, you
  1203. 38:20know, week one and then actually
  1204. 38:23producing. Our biggest fall off right
  1205. 38:26now is literally just from showing up
  1206. 38:29day one to making it at the end of week
  1207. 38:32one where they just get in and realize,
  1208. 38:34"Oh gosh, I can't hack this."
  1209. 38:36>> Yeah. What do the top uh closers make?
  1210. 38:41>> Um
  1211. 38:4316 to 20k a month.
  1212. 38:45>> Yeah. Okay. They make good money. Um
  1213. 38:48Okay. So, I want to I want to give you a
  1214. 38:50couple frames on this and then we'll
  1215. 38:51we'll dive in. So, frame number one is
  1216. 38:52that this is a feature, not a bug. It's
  1217. 38:54the nature of doortodoor. So instead of
  1218. 38:55thinking like, man, I think there's
  1219. 38:56something wrong with our business. Like
  1220. 38:58it might be just like we need to do way
  1221. 38:59more of it. Like at at at the very most
  1222. 39:01basic level, like it could just be how
  1223. 39:03do I do 10 times more of this and I deal
  1224. 39:04with all the numbers I currently have.
  1225. 39:05That's like thing one. Thing two, um it
  1226. 39:10might also be an avatar selection issue.
  1227. 39:12So to pull back the thing that I was
  1228. 39:14just talking about these applications
  1229. 39:16just like leads that you have for a
  1230. 39:18business like I'm sure it's like we they
  1231. 39:19have to have at least this many windows
  1232. 39:21or they have to have a home that's
  1233. 39:22valued above X or whatever right you
  1234. 39:23look at certain neighborhoods when you
  1235. 39:24go door to door right
  1236. 39:26>> yep
  1237. 39:27>> right so the same degree is you might be
  1238. 39:29you might be knocking it to give you
  1239. 39:32know a one to one example it's like if
  1240. 39:33you're going into the projects or the
  1241. 39:34hood right uh where home values are
  1242. 39:38lower the likelihood that they're going
  1243. 39:39to buy a higher ticket thing is lower
  1244. 39:41Right.
  1245. 39:42>> Sure.
  1246. 39:43>> Right. And so you might still be
  1247. 39:44attracting apps for SDR, you know,
  1248. 39:48doornockers, whatever, uh, for the
  1249. 39:50setters from figuratively the quote
  1250. 39:53low-income part of the internet, right?
  1251. 39:56And that doesn't actually have to
  1252. 39:57anything with income, but I'm just
  1253. 39:58saying just to give you like an analogy
  1254. 39:59here.
  1255. 40:00>> Um, and so the question is, what do the
  1256. 40:03people who make it have in common?
  1257. 40:08>> False.
  1258. 40:09>> Well, yeah, sure. But what we want to
  1259. 40:11do, no, no, you're good. You're good.
  1260. 40:12What we want to do is look at, we want
  1261. 40:14to look at what are the behaviors. So I
  1262. 40:16look at demographics just like you would
  1263. 40:19with a customer.
  1264. 40:20>> What are the demographics that have
  1265. 40:21higher likelihoods of success? Is there
  1266. 40:23age ranges? Things like that. Right?
  1267. 40:26Number two, is there any kind of past
  1268. 40:27experiences that they had that make it
  1269. 40:28more likely for them to succeed? Um, the
  1270. 40:30next is going to be the behaviors,
  1271. 40:32right? What did these people do? Just
  1272. 40:34like we'd have activation. Now, you're
  1273. 40:35not in a service business. Well, you
  1274. 40:36kind of are, but it's a little bit
  1275. 40:37different. It's not like like customers
  1276. 40:38has to do something, right? But if
  1277. 40:40you're in a if you were in a business
  1278. 40:41where a customer has to do something,
  1279. 40:42we'd say like what are the behaviors
  1280. 40:44that a really successful customer did
  1281. 40:45and then we say okay we want to force
  1282. 40:47that activation path for everyone. So
  1283. 40:50what percentage of people who are
  1284. 40:51starting make it past week one.
  1285. 40:56Um we have two small offices and it does
  1286. 40:58vary per office. Um, one of them is
  1287. 41:00significantly worse currently um, with
  1288. 41:02this issue, but ultimately I don't know,
  1289. 41:06but bad like not not a lot. And again,
  1290. 41:08it's more it's less of a like they
  1291. 41:11couldn't see results and so they fizzled
  1292. 41:13out because they need to pay their bills
  1293. 41:15because it is 100% commission. And it's
  1294. 41:17right now more of a I I don't get past
  1295. 41:21day three because I realize once the
  1296. 41:23rubber meets the road and I'm on the
  1297. 41:25little doorstep by myself, I can't hack
  1298. 41:29it. It's kind of what it's
  1299. 41:31>> Yeah. Yeah, I hear you. So, um, how much
  1300. 41:34role playing do you do with these guys
  1301. 41:35before they get out there?
  1302. 41:38>> Um, so they've got to have the script
  1303. 41:40down. Um, and we do, you know, we meet
  1304. 41:44daily, um, for an hour or two. Um, and
  1305. 41:48so that couple hours a day is is
  1306. 41:52>> Do you have like two makeshift doors
  1307. 41:54that you have at your facility where
  1308. 41:55they like knock on it and open it?
  1309. 41:57There's nothing on the other side of it.
  1310. 42:00>> Um, we've got the office door and we
  1311. 42:01will either just not use a door or use
  1312. 42:04that door.
  1313. 42:05>> Okay. I So, I'm gonna I'm like, this is
  1314. 42:07this is going to sound silly, but I am
  1315. 42:09100% right. Um, you want to approximate
  1316. 42:13the conditions of the sale as closely as
  1317. 42:16humanly possible in the training.
  1318. 42:18Something as simple as them not actually
  1319. 42:20knocking on the door will have a very
  1320. 42:22meaningful difference in their ability
  1321. 42:23to retain the information and actually
  1322. 42:25deliver it in a comparable setting.
  1323. 42:28>> Okay.
  1324. 42:28>> Yeah. Definitely not focus on that.
  1325. 42:30>> Right. So you have a training issue,
  1326. 42:32right? Like to me this is a training
  1327. 42:34issue. It's a training and expectations
  1328. 42:35problem. So obviously there's some
  1329. 42:36element of like who am I bringing in?
  1330. 42:37That's going to be one component of it.
  1331. 42:39You know, if you look at 10 people, I'm
  1332. 42:41sure right off the bat, you could
  1333. 42:42probably be 50/50 on like I could for
  1334. 42:44sure tell you that these three guys
  1335. 42:45aren't going to make it, right? Um, but
  1336. 42:47there's some guys who are like, I'm not
  1337. 42:48really sure. Well, it's like, let's just
  1338. 42:49take out the guys we already aren't know
  1339. 42:51aren't going to make it, and then let's
  1340. 42:52get the other 50%. And try and
  1341. 42:54approximate the the training. So, what I
  1342. 42:56would do is I would set up two or three
  1343. 42:58freestanding doors inside of your
  1344. 43:00facility. And the reason I would want to
  1345. 43:02do that is because I want them to learn
  1346. 43:03to run. I want them to learn to hustle
  1347. 43:05between doors because it's a huge
  1348. 43:06difference in terms of their doors knock
  1349. 43:07per day. Right.
  1350. 43:10>> Yeah.
  1351. 43:11>> Right. So, I want them to practice like
  1352. 43:13they play. So, you're going to knock on
  1353. 43:15the door, you're going to do it. We're
  1354. 43:16going to hit the script. And if they
  1355. 43:18mess it up, we say stop, step back,
  1356. 43:20knock again, do it again. Because the
  1357. 43:22thing is it's going to get it's going to
  1358. 43:23be so muscle memory for them. Like
  1359. 43:25literally like their hands going they're
  1360. 43:26going to knock the same number of times.
  1361. 43:28They're going to say the same words at
  1362. 43:29the same spot. Um, and that will
  1363. 43:32approximate so much more closely what
  1364. 43:33they're going to experience u there. I
  1365. 43:36would also encourage you to have uh
  1366. 43:38basically the the rowdy customer because
  1367. 43:40it going mediocre okay is not what
  1368. 43:43they're afraid of. That's not why
  1369. 43:44they're not that's not why they're
  1370. 43:45leaving. It's like we have to have
  1371. 43:46people slamming doors in their face. We
  1372. 43:48have to have people not liking them so
  1373. 43:50that they can get used to that.
  1374. 43:55So
  1375. 43:57repeat kind of what you were saying
  1376. 43:59there. Like I got 90% of what you were
  1377. 44:00saying, but the the missed a punchline.
  1378. 44:03You're saying no, you're good.
  1379. 44:05Act like they are the the responses that
  1380. 44:08they get in the real world.
  1381. 44:09>> Yes. I want them to be okay. I want to
  1382. 44:11roleplay out what someone losing their
  1383. 44:13[ __ ] on them is like so that they stop
  1384. 44:15having this big fear around it. It's
  1385. 44:17like it's going to be okay. You're going
  1386. 44:18to survive. If someone calls you a
  1387. 44:20rodent, guess what? You can knock on the
  1388. 44:21next door, baby. The only person who
  1389. 44:24knows how the last door went is you.
  1390. 44:30>> Cool.
  1391. 44:31>> Right. And so where it gets nasty from a
  1392. 44:33training perspective is when someone
  1393. 44:35gets hot, someone gets on fire because
  1394. 44:37everyone's been there, right? You're
  1395. 44:39like, man, I feel like I like I can
  1396. 44:40close everybody today, right? Um we they
  1397. 44:43actually talk differently. They move
  1398. 44:45differently. Their tonality changes. And
  1399. 44:46then what we want to do is be as
  1400. 44:48granular as possible about what those
  1401. 44:50tonality changes, how their body moves,
  1402. 44:52how they comport themselves to maximize
  1403. 44:54likelihood that they get more closes in
  1404. 44:55a row.
  1405. 44:59But this to me is like thing one is you
  1406. 45:01should absolutely set this training like
  1407. 45:03this is like a tomorrow thing like set
  1408. 45:05the three freestanding doors up so they
  1409. 45:06can practice one knocking on doors and
  1410. 45:08also quickly transitioning between
  1411. 45:09doors. thing one and that way they can
  1412. 45:11also have a bad door, good door, bad
  1413. 45:12door and still know that hey I'm going
  1414. 45:15to get one out of 20 doors who opens I'm
  1415. 45:17going to get I'm going to get a set
  1416. 45:19right and we have to set expectations of
  1417. 45:21like listen we need you to be doing 10
  1418. 45:22doors an hour or whatever you know
  1419. 45:23whatever your numbers are right it
  1420. 45:25depends on how you know far apart the
  1421. 45:26doors are whatever but like like [cough]
  1422. 45:29we should set these number of doors
  1423. 45:31knock per hour goals so that we can just
  1424. 45:33they have to look at as a numbers
  1425. 45:39Yeah.
  1426. 45:42>> Cool.
  1427. 45:43>> So,
  1428. 45:43>> yeah, I would agree that it's it's I
  1429. 45:46mean, there's
  1430. 45:47>> levels of the that it's a training
  1431. 45:50issue. Yeah.
  1432. 45:51>> You know, there's the week one training
  1433. 45:52issue.
  1434. 45:53>> Well, it's for sure because one of them
  1435. 45:54is doing way better than the other. So,
  1436. 45:55we know one of the trainers is already
  1437. 45:57doing way better than the other
  1438. 45:58location. Right.
  1439. 46:02>> Between the two that you got, right?
  1440. 46:03>> Yes. Right. So, already there's a
  1441. 46:05discrepancy. So, we know that like if
  1442. 46:06this if the bad location was doing as
  1443. 46:08well as the good location, we already
  1444. 46:09know that's 100% possible because it's
  1445. 46:11already happening, right?
  1446. 46:14>> Yeah.
  1447. 46:14>> But I'll bet you both could lift. And I
  1448. 46:16also think part of this is um do you
  1449. 46:20have the uh HQ uh sales the closure
  1450. 46:22handbook?
  1451. 46:24>> Yep.
  1452. 46:24>> Yeah. I would have them read the what
  1453. 46:27it's like to be the top 1%
  1454. 46:29and what is selling those two parts of
  1455. 46:32the closure handbook. And I would use
  1456. 46:34that to set the frame for what this
  1457. 46:35experience is going to be like for them.
  1458. 46:39>> What was the second part? The top 1% and
  1459. 46:41what
  1460. 46:41>> and what is selling.
  1461. 46:44>> Okay.
  1462. 46:45>> Because they have to have an
  1463. 46:46appreciation for the craft. And I think
  1464. 46:48that if they if like again part of this
  1465. 46:49is just going to be the sale. It's the
  1466. 46:51sale on them. It's like how hard are we
  1467. 46:52selling them on this is a skill that you
  1468. 46:55will use for the rest of your life? And
  1469. 46:58you're going to have to get good at it
  1470. 46:59here or somewhere else, but you might as
  1471. 47:01well get good at it here and get paid to
  1472. 47:02do it.
  1473. 47:08>> Awesome. What what would you say is the
  1474. 47:11balance between
  1475. 47:13because you mentioned expectations and I
  1476. 47:15think that is part of it just
  1477. 47:17understanding that this is going to be
  1478. 47:18hard but it's going to be worth it
  1479. 47:20because of XYZ. So selling very hard but
  1480. 47:23also I guess where would you find that
  1481. 47:26balance of selling versus reality um
  1482. 47:31from an expectation?
  1483. 47:32>> For me the selling is like if you sell
  1484. 47:34if you sell with the correct messaging
  1485. 47:36it will attract the right prospect.
  1486. 47:39So you've probably heard of the
  1487. 47:41Shackleton ad. Have you heard of that?
  1488. 47:44>> Um not based on that but
  1489. 47:47>> hold on I'll pull it up.
  1490. 47:50Here we go.
  1491. 47:53So, this was this was the ad that he ran
  1492. 47:55that was like whether it was him or not,
  1493. 47:57it's become lore. So, the ad said, "Men
  1494. 47:59wanted for hazardous journey, small
  1495. 48:01wages, bitter cold, long months of
  1496. 48:03complete darkness, constant danger, safe
  1497. 48:05return doubtful, honor and recognition
  1498. 48:07in case of success." That was the ad.
  1499. 48:11And he was overwhelmed with people who
  1500. 48:13were into it. And so, it's like we want
  1501. 48:15to we we want to state the facts and
  1502. 48:17tell the truth. And the truth is very
  1503. 48:20compelling, which is that this will be a
  1504. 48:22skill you will learn for the rest of
  1505. 48:23your life. And it will take you 30 days.
  1506. 48:25If you make it 30 days, you will have an
  1507. 48:27experience that you will remember
  1508. 48:28forever. Any person who's ever done door
  1509. 48:30todoor will tell you about their
  1510. 48:31experience doing doortodoor.
  1511. 48:34It shapes you.
  1512. 48:38>> Absolutely.
  1513. 48:39>> Right. And so we need to paint that
  1514. 48:41picture truthfully to them, but
  1515. 48:43truthfully explain why it's in their
  1516. 48:45best interest to stick it out. And we
  1517. 48:48want to have as many reward cycles as
  1518. 48:50possible. So are there ways that we can
  1519. 48:52give a scoreboard that are like I want
  1520. 48:55somebody who gets an award for most
  1521. 48:56doors knocked, most doors opened. Like
  1522. 48:58we want other ways of giving them
  1523. 49:00recognition um early and fast so that
  1524. 49:02they could see that they're at least on
  1525. 49:03the right track.
  1526. 49:07>> Yeah.
  1527. 49:07>> Right.
  1528. 49:09So, if I were to if I were to zoom all
  1529. 49:11the way out, thing one is going to be I
  1530. 49:12want the types of people who have higher
  1531. 49:14likelihoods of succeeding in this based
  1532. 49:16on demographics, past experience, and
  1533. 49:18the behaviors they demonstrate in the
  1534. 49:19application process. Thing one, this
  1535. 49:22will be online, too. So, if you're like,
  1536. 49:24I'm not writing fast enough. That's
  1537. 49:25thing one.
  1538. 49:25>> Yeah. Yeah. No, you're good. Yeah.
  1539. 49:27>> Thing two is that I want the training
  1540. 49:29environment to approximate reality as
  1541. 49:31closely as humanly possible. I want to
  1542. 49:33have multiple doors. I want them to
  1543. 49:34knock every time. No one just says the
  1544. 49:36script. knock every time because that's
  1545. 49:37how you do it in the real world.
  1546. 49:41Thing three,
  1547. 49:43as soon as they do begin, I want to have
  1548. 49:46multiple ways for them to win that are
  1549. 49:48ideally approximations or or uh on the
  1550. 49:51way to them getting their first set or
  1551. 49:53multiple sets. I want to award them for
  1552. 49:55knocking the most doors. I want to award
  1553. 49:56them for having the most doors open. I
  1554. 49:58want to award them for the the biggest
  1555. 49:59cuss out that they get, right? I want to
  1556. 50:02make this fun. I want I want to take the
  1557. 50:04pressure away.
  1558. 50:06Just make it a game.
  1559. 50:07>> Yeah. Gamified. Yeah.
  1560. 50:09>> Yeah.
  1561. 50:10>> I like it.
  1562. 50:11>> We do that. And you have leaderboards
  1563. 50:12just for the setters beyond just sets. I
  1564. 50:14want to have some of the other metrics
  1565. 50:15that are there. Right. Just closes is
  1566. 50:17one thing, but I want to have who did
  1567. 50:18the most dials. I want to say who did
  1568. 50:20the most who had the most pickups,
  1569. 50:21right? Who had the most calls that
  1570. 50:22lasted past two minutes? Right. Same
  1571. 50:24idea.
  1572. 50:27>> Yeah.
  1573. 50:29>> Cool.
  1574. 50:29>> Cool.
  1575. 50:30>> Love it. Um, would is there anything
  1576. 50:32that you feel is worth mentioning as far
  1577. 50:35as just like the overall talent
  1578. 50:37acquisition funnel or this is going to
  1579. 50:40trump that regardless of where and how
  1580. 50:42we're bringing people in.
  1581. 50:44>> I mean, we kind of talked about the the
  1582. 50:46how.
  1583. 50:46>> Yeah. Doing more. I mean, doing more in
  1584. 50:48general might this was kind of the
  1585. 50:49feature bug thing of like, well, what
  1586. 50:50does it cost you to get an activated
  1587. 50:52rep? Are you willing to spend more for
  1588. 50:54that? If so, spend more so you get more
  1589. 50:56of them. Like if we change nothing, it
  1590. 50:58would still grow the business if we just
  1591. 50:59had more reps. Like if we change
  1592. 51:01nothing, if we change these three things
  1593. 51:02and spend more, it'll be double double.
  1594. 51:07>> Yeah.
  1595. 51:08I guess I was more asking like cuz right
  1596. 51:12now
  1597. 51:12>> Yeah.
  1598. 51:14>> 99% come from just like an Indeed
  1599. 51:16listing
  1600. 51:17>> and obviously changing what that Indeed
  1601. 51:19listing looks like and sounds like can
  1602. 51:22obviously change who we're attracting.
  1603. 51:24Totally.
  1604. 51:25>> Um but
  1605. 51:26Well, I think the copy that I just kind
  1606. 51:28of outlined, again, state the facts and
  1607. 51:29tell the truth,
  1608. 51:31but I would just try and make it look
  1609. 51:32like a hardcore life opportunity, which
  1610. 51:35is what it is. Like, you're not selling
  1611. 51:37windows. You're selling a skill that
  1612. 51:39they're going to learn and get paid to
  1613. 51:41do, which I think is pretty compelling.
  1614. 51:43>> Yeah,
  1615. 51:45>> for sure.
  1616. 51:46>> I would also strongly encourage because
  1617. 51:47almost every door to door team that's
  1618. 51:49very big has a three-step process for
  1619. 51:51the career progression. Step one is
  1620. 51:53learn how to sell. Step two is learn how
  1621. 51:55to get one person to sell that you
  1622. 51:56taught. Step three is recruit a team. So
  1623. 51:59I think that you probably are missing
  1624. 52:00step two and three for your team. If 99%
  1625. 52:03of your dudes are coming from ads,
  1626. 52:05you're missing out on the entire
  1627. 52:07referral component of them bringing
  1628. 52:08their friends and getting an override on
  1629. 52:10teaching their friend and then building
  1630. 52:11a team.
  1631. 52:14>> For sure. Yeah. Right now we're at a
  1632. 52:16spot where we need this base level of
  1633. 52:19momentum to even do two and three. But
  1634. 52:22yes, and I've recently made some changes
  1635. 52:24there that makes it compelling to where
  1636. 52:26it's like not just a oh yeah, I can make
  1637. 52:28a little bit extra with bringing a
  1638. 52:30friend in and be more sticky. But
  1639. 52:32>> I it's I I can make a side hustle just
  1640. 52:36>> bringing my friends in even if I don't
  1641. 52:38sell.
  1642. 52:38>> It's a career path. Yeah. It's a
  1643. 52:40recruiter. It's another just selling
  1644. 52:42selling selling a different opportunity.
  1645. 52:44>> Yep.
  1646. 52:45>> Yeah. But
  1647. 52:46>> yeah, that's step one, two, three. And
  1648. 52:47then obviously do more. the unspoken
  1649. 52:49fourth.
  1650. 52:52>> Awesome.
  1651. 52:53>> Rock and roll.
  1652. 52:54>> I appreciate it.
  1653. 52:54>> Appreciate you, man.
  1654. 52:55>> Thanks, man.
  1655. 52:56>> All right. Talk soon.
  1656. 52:57>> Bye. Bye.
  1657. 52:57>> See you. Bye.
  1658. 52:59>> Alex, what's going on, brother? Can you
  1659. 53:00hear me? Okay,
  1660. 53:01>> I can. What's up? What's happening?
  1661. 53:04>> What's going on, man? I just want to say
  1662. 53:05first before we start that you made me a
  1663. 53:07lot of money, uh, more than I ever
  1664. 53:09thought I could make. And I want to
  1665. 53:12thank you for everything you're doing,
  1666. 53:13man. I really do appreciate it.
  1667. 53:14>> Well, thank you for actually taking
  1668. 53:15action. It makes my fills my heart. So,
  1669. 53:18what's cooking?
  1670. 53:19>> Oh, yeah, man.
  1671. 53:21>> Yeah. So, I'm getting a little feedback,
  1672. 53:22so I might mess up here. However, I run
  1673. 53:26an uh marketing agency for
  1674. 53:29B2B SAS service, mostly professional
  1675. 53:32services. We did about 1.2 million
  1676. 53:36uh trailing 12 months. I want to do 10.
  1677. 53:38>> Okay.
  1678. 53:39>> Bottleneck right now is I'm totally
  1679. 53:41keyman risk in sales and ascension.
  1680. 53:43>> Okay.
  1681. 53:44The only one that can reliably close and
  1682. 53:46upsell clients
  1683. 53:49>> thanks to money miles book though. So
  1684. 53:50our core offers the front end 16 weeks
  1685. 53:54>> guaranteed 20 qualified calls for these
  1686. 53:56folks. I close like 34%.
  1687. 53:59>> Okay.
  1688. 54:00>> The closer that I hire in the US closes
  1689. 54:020%.
  1690. 54:03>> That is worse than 34%.
  1691. 54:05>> Terrible.
  1692. 54:05>> Yeah. Quite bad.
  1693. 54:07>> Yeah.
  1694. 54:08>> The maths don't math.
  1695. 54:09>> Problem is I'm in Spain.
  1696. 54:11>> Yeah.
  1697. 54:12>> Okay. He uh he's in the US so he has a
  1698. 54:15full calendar. I have a half calendar.
  1699. 54:17>> Right.
  1700. 54:18>> Right. So that's problem number one.
  1701. 54:19Problem number two is on the back end
  1702. 54:22only about 10 to 15% of pilots ascend to
  1703. 54:24our long-term. We have a bolt-on.
  1704. 54:26>> Yeah.
  1705. 54:26>> Nobody's buying it.
  1706. 54:28>> Okay. So you have two separate problems.
  1707. 54:30Let's do
  1708. 54:31>> Yeah. Go ahead.
  1709. 54:31>> Right.
  1710. 54:33>> Okay.
  1711. 54:33>> We dramatically outperform the promise
  1712. 54:37though.
  1713. 54:37>> Okay.
  1714. 54:38>> So we get about 59.8 calls for these
  1715. 54:41folks over 16 weeks. Okay, let's just
  1716. 54:43separate the problems into one at a
  1717. 54:45time, though. So, problem number one is
  1718. 54:46that you're dealing with a closer issue
  1719. 54:49>> and problem number two is that you don't
  1720. 54:50have you have lack of ascension, right?
  1721. 54:53>> Yes.
  1722. 54:54>> Are you taking the ascension calls?
  1723. 54:58>> Um, I will hop in when we've identified
  1724. 55:01an opportunity for it.
  1725. 55:03>> Well, who's taking the call? I should
  1726. 55:05because my counter's full.
  1727. 55:06>> So, who But who who's taking the
  1728. 55:08ascensions?
  1729. 55:11I have a like a CS leader who's
  1730. 55:14essentially taking those and making
  1731. 55:15those offers [clears throat] and I will
  1732. 55:17kind of check it up, but it's not really
  1733. 55:19refined as a process, I guess.
  1734. 55:21>> Got it. My team's also telling you to
  1735. 55:23turn down the volume on me. That might
  1736. 55:26help with the feedback.
  1737. 55:27>> Okay.
  1738. 55:28>> Um Okay. So, let's let's deal with
  1739. 55:30problem number one, which which is that
  1740. 55:31you haven't been able to duplicate a
  1741. 55:32salesperson. So, um number one is do you
  1742. 55:35have a script?
  1743. 55:38>> Yes. And this guy, is he following said
  1744. 55:40script?
  1745. 55:43>> He's very script adherent, but he's not
  1746. 55:45asking the sort of what's behind that,
  1747. 55:49how do you mean by this
  1748. 55:50>> specifically? Like he's not he's okay
  1749. 55:53with surface level answers,
  1750. 55:55>> right? And so, uh, you have the sales
  1751. 55:57handbook that I have, right? My sales
  1752. 55:59handbook.
  1753. 56:00>> Absolutely.
  1754. 56:01>> Okay. So the issue that we're missing is
  1755. 56:04you just have to train them on saying uh
  1756. 56:07these two things literally. All right.
  1757. 56:10This is what you're and you're going to
  1758. 56:11roleplay with this. Can you tell me more
  1759. 56:14about that? Can you give me an example?
  1760. 56:16>> And you're going to rotate back and
  1761. 56:17forth. And so he says, "Hey, you know,
  1762. 56:20uh you know what brought you on the call
  1763. 56:21today? Uh you know, I saw this and that.
  1764. 56:22Okay, I'm guessing you're not doing this
  1765. 56:23and that all day. What problem are you
  1766. 56:25trying to solve?" "Ah, you know, I'd
  1767. 56:26like to get more calls." "Okay, got tell
  1768. 56:28me more about that."
  1769. 56:30And then they tell you more about that.
  1770. 56:32And then you say, "Can you give me an
  1771. 56:33example?" And he's like, "Well, XYZ."
  1772. 56:36And you, "Huh, tell me more about that."
  1773. 56:37You literally alternate back and forth
  1774. 56:38between, "Tell me more about that. Can
  1775. 56:39you give me an example? Tell me more
  1776. 56:40about that. So give me an example."
  1777. 56:41Until you get something meaty. It's just
  1778. 56:44way better than saying, "Why y right?
  1779. 56:46It's the equivalent of that pain cycle
  1780. 56:48for someone. So you have to roleplay
  1781. 56:50with him on that part." And so he's
  1782. 56:53getting the first part of the script,
  1783. 56:55but he's not learning how to dig for
  1784. 56:57pain.
  1785. 57:00And so the first part of
  1786. 57:01>> that could be true but also
  1787. 57:03>> yeah I
  1788. 57:04>> was just curious about is the offer not
  1789. 57:09>> obviously we've been my idea on the
  1790. 57:11ascension is that the people who do
  1791. 57:12ascend no we're talking one problem at a
  1792. 57:14time one problem at a time one problem
  1793. 57:16at a time there's the front end sale and
  1794. 57:17there's the ascension we're not talking
  1795. 57:18about ascension we're talking about
  1796. 57:19front end sale because that's what's
  1797. 57:20[ __ ] up right now because you can't
  1798. 57:21even focus on the ascension because you
  1799. 57:23got to take the front end sales
  1800. 57:25>> right
  1801. 57:26>> yeah and and he's talking to these
  1802. 57:28middle market people and there's the
  1803. 57:30multi-threading aspect, there's the
  1804. 57:32sales cycle aspect. He's going to bring
  1805. 57:34in people at the table, the director of
  1806. 57:36marketing into stuff like this.
  1807. 57:37>> Well, who do how do you close?
  1808. 57:39>> How are you closing? Are you doing that?
  1809. 57:43>> Absolutely. Yeah.
  1810. 57:45>> Okay, then.
  1811. 57:47So, okay, let me say this differently.
  1812. 57:50You're doing something that he's not
  1813. 57:52doing.
  1814. 57:54You have to identify what you do that
  1815. 57:57he's not doing and get him to do that.
  1816. 57:59And he might also be doing things that
  1817. 58:01you don't do or saying things that you
  1818. 58:02don't do. And you got to get him to stop
  1819. 58:04doing those things.
  1820. 58:10And the only way you're going to do that
  1821. 58:11is through role playing.
  1822. 58:12>> I hear you.
  1823. 58:12>> And the only way you're going to do that
  1824. 58:13is through role playing.
  1825. 58:16>> How often are you role playing with him?
  1826. 58:17>> Yeah, I hear you. Every day.
  1827. 58:21>> How do you role play? Yeah.
  1828. 58:25Um I we give an example of said person
  1829. 58:28the SAS company. I'm doing this d like
  1830. 58:30whatever we get from the the marketing
  1831. 58:32form that comes in
  1832. 58:35>> and then we just start with the script
  1833. 58:37and he goes through the script
  1834. 58:38>> and it's perfect. You I mean it seems
  1835. 58:41like great. And then he gets on the
  1836. 58:44call. I mean this guy is a good
  1837. 58:45salesperson. He's done all types of
  1838. 58:47sales this and that. First time doing
  1839. 58:48remote though.
  1840. 58:51>> Okay. fits the parameters from like a
  1841. 58:53psychological perspective.
  1842. 58:54>> I just I'm a marketing guy. I know like
  1843. 58:56an ad works when an ad works, a landing
  1844. 58:58page works when a landing page works.
  1845. 59:00But when I think about sales, it's quite
  1846. 59:02difficult for me to understand like what
  1847. 59:03am I doing differently that he's not.
  1848. 59:05>> It's hard for me to identify these
  1849. 59:06things.
  1850. 59:07>> You just have to like if he's saying the
  1851. 59:09initial questions and he's not quote
  1852. 59:10digging for pain, it's likely that
  1853. 59:12you're trying to get him to sell like
  1854. 59:14you. And this may sound in contrast to
  1855. 59:17what I was saying before, but it's more
  1856. 59:19that like when you create a truly good
  1857. 59:21script, it doesn't require an expert to
  1858. 59:23sell it. And so if you have a purely
  1859. 59:25authoritative, consultative based
  1860. 59:27selling style, which a lot of founder,
  1861. 59:29you know, founders do, then it requires
  1862. 59:31on you knowing more than the prospect
  1863. 59:33and then them being impressed by you
  1864. 59:34because you get really into the weeds
  1865. 59:36and then they're like, "Wow." And they
  1866. 59:37buy, right?
  1867. 59:39>> That is not how you can treat teach,
  1868. 59:41>> right? That is not how you can teach a
  1869. 59:42team to sell.
  1870. 59:44We have to dig into the pain but offer
  1871. 59:47absolutely no solution.
  1872. 59:53>> So all we do
  1873. 59:54>> That's absolutely right.
  1874. 59:55>> Yeah. So the part that you're missing in
  1875. 59:56your sales process and the part that you
  1876. 59:58need to review and probably train with
  1877. 1:00:00him is the discovery process. So if we
  1878. 1:00:02break the if we break the script right
  1879. 1:00:03now. So when you're doing your role
  1880. 1:00:04playing, are you theming the day?
  1881. 1:00:08>> Say again. Sorry. So, if we if we're
  1882. 1:00:11training if I'm training somebody on
  1883. 1:00:12sales, I'm going to train them
  1884. 1:00:14differently all five days of the week.
  1885. 1:00:15So, on Monday, we're going to work on
  1886. 1:00:17the intro purely. How do we open the
  1887. 1:00:19call? How do we set the frame? And just
  1888. 1:00:21go back and forth on that part of the
  1889. 1:00:22script. That's it. We're going to
  1890. 1:00:24roleplay that 10 times
  1891. 1:00:25>> for the day. That's it.
  1892. 1:00:27>> Tomorrow, we're going to go through
  1893. 1:00:28disco. We're go through discovery and
  1894. 1:00:31we're going to we're going to basically
  1895. 1:00:32practice. Tell me more about that. Can
  1896. 1:00:33you give me an example? Tell me more
  1897. 1:00:35about that. Can you give me an example?
  1898. 1:00:36Now, the second part of discovery
  1899. 1:00:38>> as we transition into pitch is going to
  1900. 1:00:41be the recap, which is, so it sounds
  1901. 1:00:43like you match what they said the
  1902. 1:00:45problem is to what you solve. So, it
  1903. 1:00:47sounds like you've got you said this,
  1904. 1:00:48this, and this. It sounds like you've
  1905. 1:00:50got an ads issue, and it sounds like
  1906. 1:00:51you've got a funnel issue. Does that
  1907. 1:00:53sound about right? Great. Once we
  1908. 1:00:56basically do a pain stack at the end of
  1909. 1:00:58like that pain cycle. So we figured out
  1910. 1:00:59problem one, problem two, problem three,
  1911. 1:01:01and the sub problems. We say, "Okay,
  1912. 1:01:02because you said XYZ, it sounds like you
  1913. 1:01:04that that is that true." You know, ZYW,
  1914. 1:01:07it sounds like you've got this. Is that
  1915. 1:01:08true? Great. So we get agreement on the
  1916. 1:01:10problems. You say, "You know what? I
  1917. 1:01:11think it'd be a perfect fit for what
  1918. 1:01:12we've got. Can I tell you a little bit
  1919. 1:01:13about it?" Great. Now we're in pitch. So
  1920. 1:01:15on Wednesday, we practice the pitch. Now
  1921. 1:01:17the pitch should be short, man. Pitch is
  1922. 1:01:20like 60 to 90 seconds top. It's three
  1923. 1:01:22three things. We do X, we do Y, we do Z.
  1924. 1:01:25And for each of X, Y, and Z, we have an
  1925. 1:01:27unbelievable example of why it would be
  1926. 1:01:29ridiculous not to believe what I'm
  1927. 1:01:30saying.
  1928. 1:01:33>> So, you're doing, you know, $2 million
  1929. 1:01:34here, though.
  1930. 1:01:35>> That's fine. Doesn't matter. Is he
  1931. 1:01:37setting for you?
  1932. 1:01:38>> So, you just cut it off at O. You just
  1933. 1:01:40cut it off at O and then you move to
  1934. 1:01:42review and cap and then S when you go to
  1935. 1:01:45the second call or
  1936. 1:01:45>> you still got to go CLO again. You still
  1937. 1:01:47have to reset the frame.
  1938. 1:01:50>> Okay. Is he setting and closing for
  1939. 1:01:53himself?
  1940. 1:01:53>> He has his own.
  1941. 1:01:55>> Yeah, for himself.
  1942. 1:01:56>> Do you have a VSSL between?
  1943. 1:01:57>> We have too many calls.
  1944. 1:01:59>> We have a super good VSSL and a super
  1945. 1:02:02good thank you video. Like 300 calls,
  1946. 1:02:04200 live calls um a month right now.
  1947. 1:02:09>> Right. And so, all right, tell me what
  1948. 1:02:12this offer is real quick.
  1949. 1:02:15>> I would love for you to know that. Yeah.
  1950. 1:02:16So it's 16 weeks
  1951. 1:02:19um 20 qualified calls.
  1952. 1:02:22It is either they can split split pay
  1953. 1:02:26that for eight and eight
  1954. 1:02:29eight now eight at launch or 13.4. My
  1955. 1:02:31plan is like just increase that as we
  1956. 1:02:33keep getting more results.
  1957. 1:02:34>> Sure.
  1958. 1:02:36>> And then we have a bolt-on there.
  1959. 1:02:37>> What's the qualifier for them to get on
  1960. 1:02:39the call?
  1961. 1:02:41>> Say again.
  1962. 1:02:42>> What's the qualifier to get on the call?
  1963. 1:02:46uh their ticket price has to be for
  1964. 1:02:49their product, their ACV has to be over
  1965. 1:02:5130K.
  1966. 1:02:52>> What about their revenue?
  1967. 1:02:55>> 500K.
  1968. 1:02:56>> Okay.
  1969. 1:02:56>> Minimum floor.
  1970. 1:02:57>> Yeah. I mean, that price point's fine.
  1971. 1:02:59All that stuff works. So, do they not
  1972. 1:03:02believe you?
  1973. 1:03:05>> I I mean,
  1974. 1:03:07the thing is too though is that like
  1975. 1:03:09what I've noticed is that he's not
  1976. 1:03:10opening the doors and closing them like
  1977. 1:03:12he's not killing zombies proverbly.
  1978. 1:03:14Uh-huh.
  1979. 1:03:16>> Um,
  1980. 1:03:17>> yeah, he's [ __ ] up discovery.
  1981. 1:03:18>> Oh, I don't know if ads are going to
  1982. 1:03:19work for me.
  1983. 1:03:19>> He's [ __ ] up discovery. I mean, I'm
  1984. 1:03:20just everything you're saying, he's
  1985. 1:03:22missing disco. He's just got you need to
  1986. 1:03:24role play him on disco. That's the
  1987. 1:03:25issue.
  1988. 1:03:25>> I'm just like that's the real problem.
  1989. 1:03:27That's So, right now, if that's the core
  1990. 1:03:28issue, then you're probably going to
  1991. 1:03:29disco time. And then once he gets
  1992. 1:03:31unfucked on disco, then every day of the
  1993. 1:03:33week you go intro, you go train on
  1994. 1:03:34disco, then you train on pitch, then you
  1995. 1:03:36train on close, which is objection
  1996. 1:03:38handling, and then on Friday you train
  1997. 1:03:40again on the thing that he's weakest at,
  1998. 1:03:41which probably for a while will also
  1999. 1:03:42still be discovery. That's the training
  2000. 1:03:44cycle. And don't let him just say the
  2001. 1:03:46script. Don't let him just say the
  2002. 1:03:47script.
  2003. 1:03:48>> He goes through the script and stop him
  2004. 1:03:50the moment he [ __ ] up and then get him
  2005. 1:03:51to do it the right way and try again.
  2006. 1:03:53You have to stop him in real time.
  2007. 1:03:56>> Otherwise, if he just goes through it
  2008. 1:03:57and then try and give him feedback at
  2009. 1:03:58the end, it's not going to work. It's
  2010. 1:03:59not how people learn.
  2011. 1:04:02>> So, you should tell him up front.
  2012. 1:04:04>> Per month problem that Yes. 100%. And
  2013. 1:04:07so, you have to set the set the stage up
  2014. 1:04:09front. Hey, listen man. I'm going to
  2015. 1:04:10role play with you. I'm going to change
  2016. 1:04:11how we're doing it. The moment I see you
  2017. 1:04:13mess up or not do something wrong, I'm
  2018. 1:04:15gonna correct you. But here's the thing.
  2019. 1:04:16When he's doing it right, I want you to
  2020. 1:04:18have your thumb up and I want you to nod
  2021. 1:04:19while he's talking. So, I want him that
  2022. 1:04:20visual feedback
  2023. 1:04:21>> that he's doing a good job when he's
  2024. 1:04:23doing it right. And then as soon as he
  2025. 1:04:25gets it right,
  2026. 1:04:26>> say, "Great. Let's lock it in. Do it
  2027. 1:04:28again. Great. Do it again." So, as soon
  2028. 1:04:31as So, if let's say you get something
  2029. 1:04:32wrong, you say, "Awesome. Do it like
  2030. 1:04:33this." He does it. If he does it
  2031. 1:04:35correctly, then you have to do it three
  2032. 1:04:36more times before he gets to move on.
  2033. 1:04:40>> Rock and roll, man. Right.
  2034. 1:04:42>> Yeah,
  2035. 1:04:43>> that's the that's the thing that's
  2036. 1:04:44missing right now.
  2037. 1:04:45>> All right. I think if you solve that
  2038. 1:04:47problem, you'll be able to have the
  2039. 1:04:48bandwidth to go solve the ascension
  2040. 1:04:49issue because honestly, you just need to
  2041. 1:04:51take the ascension calls for now. Put a
  2042. 1:04:52VSSL there and you should be fine. You
  2043. 1:04:55have a CS person doing sales. Obviously,
  2044. 1:04:56that's the issue.
  2045. 1:04:58>> Yeah. No, you're absolutely right. And I
  2046. 1:04:59really do appreciate it. I mean, I just
  2047. 1:05:00I'm glad to know that the offer looks
  2048. 1:05:02good.
  2049. 1:05:03>> It's fine, dude. Honestly, it's
  2050. 1:05:04underpriced. It's actually a little
  2051. 1:05:05underpriced right now, but like let's
  2052. 1:05:07solve the sales problem. But I think to
  2053. 1:05:09a degree you're too cheap for some like
  2054. 1:05:11think about it. You're charging $13,000
  2055. 1:05:14for somebody who has a $30,000 per
  2056. 1:05:16customer. So it's like it's like No, I'm
  2057. 1:05:19saying I think it might it actually
  2058. 1:05:21might be below the point of point of
  2059. 1:05:23marginal cheapness, which is PMC. You
  2060. 1:05:25might be so cheap they don't even
  2061. 1:05:26believe you can deliver.
  2062. 1:05:30>> Like you might sound small time racking
  2063. 1:05:32up the price cuz they're already
  2064. 1:05:33planning on
  2065. 1:05:33>> I think you I think you sound small
  2066. 1:05:35time, dude.
  2067. 1:05:37It sounds too cheap. If I have a 30k
  2068. 1:05:39average,
  2069. 1:05:40>> I mean at least one or two clients
  2070. 1:05:41worth.
  2071. 1:05:44>> Yeah, because I mean we're signing folks
  2072. 1:05:46that are like deals are like 500k, 800k.
  2073. 1:05:49>> Yeah, dude. It's just not believable,
  2074. 1:05:50dude. It's not believable. It's not
  2075. 1:05:52believable.
  2076. 1:05:53>> Yeah.
  2077. 1:05:55>> I would go 15k a month, man. If these
  2078. 1:05:57are the people you're dealing with and
  2079. 1:05:58they're signing 500k deals, then like
  2080. 1:06:00it's it's a rounding error. They just
  2081. 1:06:01don't believe you can do it because
  2082. 1:06:02you're too cheap.
  2083. 1:06:04So, still break it into like per month,
  2084. 1:06:07but the prepay or the split. Do you like
  2085. 1:06:10that kind of setup or should it be
  2086. 1:06:11monthly?
  2087. 1:06:12>> Dude, it shouldn't even matter if
  2088. 1:06:13they're actually making that amount of
  2089. 1:06:14money from customers. They shouldn't
  2090. 1:06:15even need a payment plan. Like 13K, 8K,
  2091. 1:06:178K, it's like doesn't it's irrelevant.
  2092. 1:06:21>> Yeah, I hear you.
  2093. 1:06:22>> Right.
  2094. 1:06:23>> [ __ ] man.
  2095. 1:06:24>> They just don't believe you. It's too
  2096. 1:06:25cheap.
  2097. 1:06:27>> And then take the ascension calls. Yeah.
  2098. 1:06:29And just crush it.
  2099. 1:06:30>> Drill disco with him. raise price, you
  2100. 1:06:34take ascension calls.
  2101. 1:06:35>> One, two, three.
  2102. 1:06:36>> Rock and roll, man. Hell yeah.
  2103. 1:06:38>> Appreciate you, man.
  2104. 1:06:39>> Hell yeah, dude.
  2105. 1:06:40>> So, I learned this from Sam Bactiar, who
  2106. 1:06:42was the first person that I So, I
  2107. 1:06:43mentored
  2108. 1:06:44>> Oh, he was a wicked guy.
  2109. 1:06:45>> Oh, yeah. You knew Sam, right?
  2110. 1:06:46>> Yeah. Sam was wicked.
  2111. 1:06:47>> So, I So, when I moved to California
  2112. 1:06:49because I wanted to get in gyms. I
  2113. 1:06:50worked for minimum wage at Sam's gym for
  2114. 1:06:52three months before I started my job.
  2115. 1:06:53Yeah.
  2116. 1:06:54>> And so, because I looked on the internet
  2117. 1:06:55and I had a white collar job um doing
  2118. 1:06:57making good money and I quit that to
  2119. 1:06:59work, you know, a minimum wage job at a
  2120. 1:07:01gym. So my my Persian father was
  2121. 1:07:03horrified. Um but
  2122. 1:07:05>> Persian, that's right. Yeah.
  2123. 1:07:06>> And so um and so I'll tell you exactly
  2124. 1:07:08what I s I saw him do. He didn't teach,
  2125. 1:07:10but I learned it from him is that and
  2126. 1:07:13it'll make sense. So Janelle is as a
  2127. 1:07:15personal training client and we're
  2128. 1:07:16working out and she doesn't put her
  2129. 1:07:18weights away. I'm a personal trainer. I
  2130. 1:07:19got another meeting I got to get to.
  2131. 1:07:21What do I say? Do I say, "Hey Janelle,
  2132. 1:07:22can you put your weights back?"
  2133. 1:07:24>> No. You're the trainer. You put the Like
  2134. 1:07:26that's a terrible terrible frame right
  2135. 1:07:28now. I saw Sam do this and I applied it
  2136. 1:07:30to every single sale my whole life
  2137. 1:07:32afterwards. He said, "Janelle, I know
  2138. 1:07:34you ain't about to leave my gym without
  2139. 1:07:36putting your weights back." And then
  2140. 1:07:37she's like, "Ah, fine, Sam. I'll go put
  2141. 1:07:39the weights back." And now it's fun.
  2142. 1:07:41It's light. It's not accusatory at all.
  2143. 1:07:43Right.
  2144. 1:07:44>> And so
  2145. 1:07:44>> I could see him saying this. The way you
  2146. 1:07:46said it, I could see him.
  2147. 1:07:47>> That's how I learned I learned it from
  2148. 1:07:48him, right? His ghetto fabulous like you
  2149. 1:07:50could get into. And he would do that
  2150. 1:07:51when he wanted to say something that was
  2151. 1:07:53harsh to somebody.
  2152. 1:07:54>> And so I would be like, "Janelle, no. I
  2153. 1:07:56know you didn't just ghost me on this.
  2154. 1:07:58I'm heartbroken over here. I've got this
  2155. 1:08:00big bowl of tears. I was like, I don't
  2156. 1:08:01know what to do with it. I was like, I'm
  2157. 1:08:02on the edge of a building and you know
  2158. 1:08:04what? I'm just messing with you. Hey,
  2159. 1:08:05I'm sure something came up. I was like,
  2160. 1:08:07at the end of the day, I got this thing
  2161. 1:08:08for you. Um, I got the medium set aside.
  2162. 1:08:10No worries. I'm sure something came up.
  2163. 1:08:12Same time tomorrow work.
  2164. 1:08:13>> Uh-huh. And just go right back into the
  2165. 1:08:14medium,
  2166. 1:08:15>> right? Just go right back in.
  2167. 1:08:16>> Just
  2168. 1:08:16>> and if she goes me again, you know what?
  2169. 1:08:18There's a hundred other Janels.
  2170. 1:08:19>> And like basically what you just taught
  2171. 1:08:21was setting the frame. I started direct
  2172. 1:08:22sales when I was 14. I said I would
  2173. 1:08:24always set the frame where they would
  2174. 1:08:25know how to treat me. So, if I cold call
  2175. 1:08:27somebody and I ask them how their day is
  2176. 1:08:28and then they ask me back, "How's your
  2177. 1:08:30day?" I'm going to be like, "Shit, my
  2178. 1:08:31day is fantastic." Every single person
  2179. 1:08:32that talk to your neighbor, it's so
  2180. 1:08:33freaking nice and they're so kind. And
  2181. 1:08:35then boom, they're like, "Well, now I
  2182. 1:08:36can't treat Daniel like a piece of
  2183. 1:08:37shit." Right? So, it's almost the same
  2184. 1:08:39thing that you just did in follow-up.
  2185. 1:08:40You just you got to just make them feel
  2186. 1:08:41like a human cuz people are people. They
  2187. 1:08:42don't want to make you feel bad. It's
  2188. 1:08:44like we sometimes think prospects are
  2189. 1:08:45bad people, but maybe they just forgot.
  2190. 1:08:47>> Honestly, like the biggest thing is
  2191. 1:08:48people are busy. People have very low
  2192. 1:08:50attention. And like you have one thing,
  2193. 1:08:51but so does a hundred other people. I
  2194. 1:08:53just I got rejected so many times. I
  2195. 1:08:55just don't take it personally. I just
  2196. 1:08:56really I genuinely don't take it
  2197. 1:08:57personally. But I think the the frame
  2198. 1:08:59that you said at the beginning because I
  2199. 1:09:00would also call leads up that would opt
  2200. 1:09:01in for internet leads, right? And so at
  2201. 1:09:03the very beginning, the frame, right? I
  2202. 1:09:05had all these little like these tiny
  2203. 1:09:06little things you do in the language
  2204. 1:09:07where you say, "Hey, John, pause." And
  2205. 1:09:11he's like, "Hello." It's like, "This is
  2206. 1:09:13Alex."
  2207. 1:09:14I'm like, and he's thinking, he's like,
  2208. 1:09:16"Who the [ __ ] Who's Alex? I don't know.
  2209. 1:09:17Like, what's this number?" Right? It's
  2210. 1:09:19like from Facebook. You sign up for the
  2211. 1:09:21six week challenge. Yeah. Yeah. On the
  2212. 1:09:23internet. Yeah. Yeah. I'm I'm just I'm a
  2213. 1:09:25real person right across from 7-Eleven
  2214. 1:09:26on on X and Y. Yeah. Yeah. How's it
  2215. 1:09:28going today? Yeah, don't worry. I'm not
  2216. 1:09:30I'm not one of the crazies. I'm not not
  2217. 1:09:32I'm not after you. I'm not in uh in
  2218. 1:09:33Nicaragua or whatever. And he's like,
  2219. 1:09:34"Haha." Like, "Okay, cool." Oh, so did
  2220. 1:09:37you uh did you hear about us uh from I
  2221. 1:09:38mean, I messed the script. I haven't
  2222. 1:09:39done it forever, but um so did you see
  2223. 1:09:41us because of uh the ad or was it
  2224. 1:09:43because you hired us on uh the local
  2225. 1:09:45news best best boot camp or was it uh
  2226. 1:09:48you know, Oprah Oprah did a special on
  2227. 1:09:49us. Was it one of those things? Now, if
  2228. 1:09:52you have one award you've ever won in
  2229. 1:09:54your entire life, even if your mom gave
  2230. 1:09:55it to you, you'd be like, "Did you hear
  2231. 1:09:57about us on uh on Internet's Best Boot
  2232. 1:09:59Camps?" And they're like, "Even if they
  2233. 1:10:01haven't," they now are like, "Oh, this
  2234. 1:10:03is one of the internet's best boot
  2235. 1:10:04camps." Right?
  2236. 1:10:04>> And so, they're like, "Oh, these guys
  2237. 1:10:06are legit." Oh, yeah. We won the best
  2238. 1:10:07customer service anyways. You probably
  2239. 1:10:08don't care about that. So, what what can
  2240. 1:10:10I help you with, man? What what's what's
  2241. 1:10:11going on? Why why'd you sign up for a
  2242. 1:10:12weight loss thing?
  2243. 1:10:13>> And then they're like, "You know what?
  2244. 1:10:14My wife's been bugging me. I'm not
  2245. 1:10:16fitting into many of my old suits, and I
  2246. 1:10:17don't want to buy a new wardrobe." I'm
  2247. 1:10:18like, "All right, well, I guess we got
  2248. 1:10:20two options. So you can keep doing that
  2249. 1:10:22or uh I got a four o'clock today that
  2250. 1:10:24work for you and then you know we go
  2251. 1:10:26from there right and so like having that
  2252. 1:10:28preface that you said and I I mean I
  2253. 1:10:30think to I mean especially on phone
  2254. 1:10:32tonality matters so much
  2255. 1:10:34>> and I've sold a lot through humor and
  2256. 1:10:37harder to teach but like I feel like I
  2257. 1:10:40was able to ask very hard questions
  2258. 1:10:41using that kind of Sam frame where that
  2259. 1:10:44like where you know lady says
  2260. 1:10:47>> I got to talk to my husband and I think
  2261. 1:10:48decision maker is one of the hardest
  2262. 1:10:49ones to overcome in general. Right. I
  2263. 1:10:51mean, of the of the obstacles, I prefer
  2264. 1:10:53to talk to someone in power, but and so
  2265. 1:10:55the way that I would overcome that, I'd
  2266. 1:10:56be like, "What if your husband says no?"
  2267. 1:10:59>> Uhhuh. [snorts]
  2268. 1:10:59>> It's like, "Well, I guess I wouldn't
  2269. 1:11:01know." It's like, "But what does that
  2270. 1:11:02mean in five years?"
  2271. 1:11:04>> I mean, is it are you going to keep I
  2272. 1:11:06mean, how much have you how much weight
  2273. 1:11:07have you gained in the last 5 years? And
  2274. 1:11:08they're like, I'm like, "What if it
  2275. 1:11:09keeps going that way?" And so, I call it
  2276. 1:11:11childlike curiosity where you're like,
  2277. 1:11:13"Huh, that's wild. Fascinating. Tell me
  2278. 1:11:16more about that." Like I'm never so I
  2279. 1:11:17call it like over overcoming the
  2280. 1:11:19obstacle is a dance not a fight. It's
  2281. 1:11:20seduction not rape,
  2282. 1:11:22>> right? And so I want to I want to dance.
  2283. 1:11:25And so if they've if we're in that in
  2284. 1:11:27the throws of that, I want them to feel
  2285. 1:11:29zero aggression. And I want to I want
  2286. 1:11:31them to be like, wow, he's really
  2287. 1:11:33curious. I'm like, well, what what what
  2288. 1:11:35do you think about what are the
  2289. 1:11:36variables that make the decision?
  2290. 1:11:38>> And they're like because they're like,
  2291. 1:11:39oh, I got to think about I'm like, oh,
  2292. 1:11:41what's your main concern? Let's do it
  2293. 1:11:42together.
  2294. 1:11:43>> Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. Sure. Sure.
  2295. 1:11:44Right. And so then then then because I
  2296. 1:11:46want them and this is the thing a lot of
  2297. 1:11:47sales people is they back away from the
  2298. 1:11:49hard question they know they need to ask
  2299. 1:11:51>> and I don't want them to be deciding
  2300. 1:11:53when they leave. I want them to make the
  2301. 1:11:55decision in front of me. It's like
  2302. 1:11:56you're probably wondering if we're just
  2303. 1:11:57full of [ __ ] And you know what? I'd be
  2304. 1:11:59wondering that too. So how could I prove
  2305. 1:12:01it to you?
  2306. 1:12:02>> Right.
  2307. 1:12:02>> Right. And then they have to come up
  2308. 1:12:04with the criteria for me.
  2309. 1:12:06>> Love that.
  2310. 1:12:06>> And so I want them to tell me how to
  2311. 1:12:09sell them.
  2312. 1:12:09>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
  2313. 1:12:10>> Like what great what would make you feel
  2314. 1:12:12100%.
  2315. 1:12:13And then they name because the thing is
  2316. 1:12:15is this is the only time they've ever
  2317. 1:12:16had this conversation. So that on the
  2318. 1:12:18spot they're going to think like two
  2319. 1:12:19things. I'm like, "Oh, I can take care
  2320. 1:12:20of that right here." Fair enough. That
  2321. 1:12:23make does that make you feel better?
  2322. 1:12:24Sure. All right. Let's knock it out. And
  2323. 1:12:26then it's just I I I mean obviously this
  2324. 1:12:28takes reps to because some people in the
  2325. 1:12:30early days of sales, your adrenaline
  2326. 1:12:31kicks in. You're like, I need this sale.
  2327. 1:12:33And you're like your teeth come out. And
  2328. 1:12:34I love this term commission breath. It's
  2329. 1:12:36like you start having commission breath,
  2330. 1:12:37right? And then everyone goes on
  2331. 1:12:38defensive because you sound like you're
  2332. 1:12:39selling. And so I've always I even like
  2333. 1:12:42my team knows this like I [ __ ] my head
  2334. 1:12:44and I do childlike curiosity. So I even
  2335. 1:12:46have a mental cue. It's like huh. And
  2336. 1:12:48that's whenever I want to get like
  2337. 1:12:49offensive I always go huh. And that it
  2338. 1:12:52deflate it like it completely disarms.
  2339. 1:12:54I'm like and then it gives me a second.
  2340. 1:12:55I'm like huh
  2341. 1:12:57>> well
  2342. 1:12:59what if well well let's play it out. So
  2343. 1:13:01if you didn't have the money to do this
  2344. 1:13:04and you spent the money what would
  2345. 1:13:05happen?
  2346. 1:13:06>> Mhm.
  2347. 1:13:07>> And they're like well I wouldn't be able
  2348. 1:13:08to afford groceries. And I was like,
  2349. 1:13:10"Well, I guess the weight loss problem
  2350. 1:13:11will solve itself then, right?" And then
  2351. 1:13:13you get the joke and they're like,
  2352. 1:13:13"Haha, oh," it's like, "No, let's play
  2353. 1:13:15it out." Well, I mean, you're not Have
  2354. 1:13:16you ever bought something you've ever
  2355. 1:13:17been like, "Man, that was a lot." But
  2356. 1:13:19you're still here, right? You're not
  2357. 1:13:20homeless. Okay. So, how important is
  2358. 1:13:21this to you? Right? And so, we can and
  2359. 1:13:23like you can sidestep these things, I
  2360. 1:13:25think, with a lot of tone and being able
  2361. 1:13:27to
  2362. 1:13:28>> your body language the way you just did
  2363. 1:13:29it.
  2364. 1:13:29>> Sit. You can sit in the pocket. I want
  2365. 1:13:31to be able to sit in that spot where
  2366. 1:13:33people are uncomfortable, but make them
  2367. 1:13:35feel comfortable so that they can
  2368. 1:13:36actually be honest with me. And then to
  2369. 1:13:38your point of like what's the one zinger
  2370. 1:13:40honestly I haven't had it like I teach
  2371. 1:13:43it back right I want let's get back in
  2372. 1:13:45like what's you and I like to do the big
  2373. 1:13:48zoom out and so like if I feel like I'm
  2374. 1:13:49on this weird m like you know you're
  2375. 1:13:52like in Pluto and you're like what's
  2376. 1:13:53going on here right you're like hey
  2377. 1:13:55let's zoom out you're trying to lose
  2378. 1:13:56weight we sell weight loss what's
  2379. 1:13:59getting in the way here
  2380. 1:14:00>> right and then you and then they're like
  2381. 1:14:02>> I just don't know if it's actually going
  2382. 1:14:04to work and I'm like that makes sense
  2383. 1:14:05that makes you like every other person
  2384. 1:14:07who signed up and then was successful
  2385. 1:14:08because if you know what if you didn't
  2386. 1:14:10think that I'd be worried about you
  2387. 1:14:11because if you thought 100% you're
  2388. 1:14:12because then I'd think you'd have false
  2389. 1:14:13expectations. It's be a lot of work,
  2390. 1:14:15>> right? And then all of a sudden it's
  2391. 1:14:16like you're confirming their suspicions
  2392. 1:14:18rather than trying to battle them. And
  2393. 1:14:19so I think a lot of people try and like
  2394. 1:14:21invalidate what someone's feeling about
  2395. 1:14:23the decision rather than actually
  2396. 1:14:25leaning in because it's kind of like
  2397. 1:14:26Eminem when he when he um in the rap
  2398. 1:14:28battles where he owns all of his
  2399. 1:14:30negatives. It's like I wanna I want to
  2400. 1:14:32say, "Yeah, yeah, you're right. This is
  2401. 1:14:33super expensive. It's gonna be really
  2402. 1:14:34hard. You should still do it." Like
  2403. 1:14:36right cuz then it's like all of those
  2404. 1:14:38things that they want to give as
  2405. 1:14:39obstacles I agree with and then still
  2406. 1:14:41say that's a great reason to buy.
  2407. 1:14:42>> Yeah I threw myself under the bus first
  2408. 1:14:43now you can't show me. Sure. Person on
  2409. 1:14:45the other end almost expects especially
  2410. 1:14:47when they know it's a sales person. They
  2411. 1:14:48expect a certain pattern from a
  2412. 1:14:50salesperson. Meaning you're the
  2413. 1:14:51saleserson Alex and I'm Daniel the
  2414. 1:14:52prospect and I say yeah you know I just
  2415. 1:14:54don't have the money right now. My
  2416. 1:14:56pattern is now once I tell you this, I'm
  2417. 1:14:58thinking for you to be competitive, for
  2418. 1:15:00you to argue with me and be like, well,
  2419. 1:15:02that's the exact reason why you should
  2420. 1:15:03buy, do it right now. And like, right,
  2421. 1:15:05to pressure me, I'm expecting that
  2422. 1:15:07pattern response. I tell people, I'm
  2423. 1:15:08like, whenever somebody gives you an
  2424. 1:15:10objection, do the opposite of what they
  2425. 1:15:11think you're about to respond to. Like,
  2426. 1:15:13they expect you to combat with them, you
  2427. 1:15:15know, be argumentative, try to close the
  2428. 1:15:17deal right away. Smile. Like, just give
  2429. 1:15:19them a smile. Laugh. Be like, "Yeah, no
  2430. 1:15:21problem." Even just like wave it off
  2431. 1:15:23with your That's not even a worry. Don't
  2432. 1:15:24even worry about it. dropped their
  2433. 1:15:25shoulders cuz now they're like, "Wait,
  2434. 1:15:27wait, wait, wait. Salesperson
  2435. 1:15:28malfunction in my head. This person was
  2436. 1:15:30supposed to argue with me and now
  2437. 1:15:31they're not arguing with me. They're
  2438. 1:15:32almost like agreeing with me. They're
  2439. 1:15:33acknowledging it right now and they're
  2440. 1:15:35on my side. This is weird." And
  2441. 1:15:36>> you can't disagree with someone who asks
  2442. 1:15:38you a question.
  2443. 1:15:39>> It's the like the number one thing when
  2444. 1:15:41you're in that the high pressure
  2445. 1:15:42situation is I want to make no
  2446. 1:15:43statements. I don't want to do any
  2447. 1:15:45commands and I don't know any any
  2448. 1:15:47statements because there's nothing they
  2449. 1:15:48can disagree with me on. So if someone
  2450. 1:15:49says, you know, I I I don't have the
  2451. 1:15:51money and sure we could say, well, it's
  2452. 1:15:52about resourcefulness, not resources. we
  2453. 1:15:54can go through all these things, but
  2454. 1:15:56like when I when I really get down to
  2455. 1:15:57it, I'm like,
  2456. 1:15:58>> "Well, man, like that's tough. So,
  2457. 1:16:01what's so what's right now are other
  2458. 1:16:04priorities for you?" Cuz like I want to
  2459. 1:16:06make it work for you, but if it doesn't
  2460. 1:16:07work, it's fine, but like because at the
  2461. 1:16:09end of the day, you're going to have x
  2462. 1:16:10amount of dollars, right? Okay. And
  2463. 1:16:12you're going to vote with your dollars
  2464. 1:16:12about the things that you care about.
  2465. 1:16:14That makes sense, right? Okay, cool. So,
  2466. 1:16:15the question is, what are you voting for
  2467. 1:16:16that matters more to you? And if it's
  2468. 1:16:18like, I got to pay rent and my wife, you
  2469. 1:16:20know, we've got a baby on the way, I get
  2470. 1:16:22it, dude. I get it. Maybe this isn't the
  2471. 1:16:24priority right now. Maybe it will be in
  2472. 1:16:25the future. But the question is like how
  2473. 1:16:27long do you want to not be able to get
  2474. 1:16:28the things that you want in your life
  2475. 1:16:30when you really want them? How long do
  2476. 1:16:31you want that to be a problem in your
  2477. 1:16:32life? As if I was selling a sales
  2478. 1:16:33training.
  2479. 1:16:34>> Sure. Sure. Sure.
  2480. 1:16:34>> And so then it's like but now like we're
  2481. 1:16:36I'm back to question asking, right? And
  2482. 1:16:38so rather than being like to your point
  2483. 1:16:40like well that's the perfect like um and
  2484. 1:16:42I think the tone matters so much like if
  2485. 1:16:44if people this is why role playing is so
  2486. 1:16:46important because if if someone has said
  2487. 1:16:48this to me a hundred times and I know
  2488. 1:16:49exactly what I'm going to say to
  2489. 1:16:50respond. I don't have adrenaline because
  2490. 1:16:52I start saying the words before I'm even
  2491. 1:16:56thinking because I can be present not
  2492. 1:16:58trying to remember what I'm going to
  2493. 1:16:59say. I can be looking at the person and
  2494. 1:17:01that's the whole like Leila's whole
  2495. 1:17:02frame of like human first. Like if I
  2496. 1:17:03actually really cared about this person
  2497. 1:17:05how would I talk to them? Like if it if
  2498. 1:17:07it were my mother and she and she really
  2499. 1:17:09did want to lose weight and she really
  2500. 1:17:11didn't and she said I don't have the
  2501. 1:17:12money. I'd be like well well what else
  2502. 1:17:14are you spending money on? Like I mean
  2503. 1:17:15to be clear is this important to you?
  2504. 1:17:16Because if it's not like I'll stop right
  2505. 1:17:18now. I'm not like I don't want you to do
  2506. 1:17:19something you don't want to do
  2507. 1:17:21>> it. It's like I like to set that frame
  2508. 1:17:23overall and I'm like you can even like
  2509. 1:17:24you do it subconscious like I'm leaning
  2510. 1:17:25back. I'm doing this. It's like hey I'm
  2511. 1:17:28not
  2512. 1:17:28>> I'm exiting.
  2513. 1:17:29>> Yeah. And so I I mean I tell this we
  2514. 1:17:31have a lot of little isms but like we
  2515. 1:17:32always want to sell from our back foot.
  2516. 1:17:33>> I never want to be leaned in. I was
  2517. 1:17:35going to be like, if you want it, I'm
  2518. 1:17:36here.
  2519. 1:17:37>> And so it's like, what else? What else
  2520. 1:17:38are you considering? Like, where else
  2521. 1:17:39are you allocating? I get it because
  2522. 1:17:40like, and if you need to, that's where
  2523. 1:17:42those key stories. So, like, if there's
  2524. 1:17:43ever something that I like to have in my
  2525. 1:17:45holster, it's a story of someone just
  2526. 1:17:47like them that just walked out the door,
  2527. 1:17:48right? It's like, you remind me of
  2528. 1:17:50Susan. She actually came in um a couple
  2529. 1:17:51months ago. We had almost an identical
  2530. 1:17:53conversation. She could be your sister.
  2531. 1:17:54And
  2532. 1:17:55>> and we got to this point in the
  2533. 1:17:56conversation where she actually was
  2534. 1:17:57struggling with this. And so, I was
  2535. 1:17:58like, "How important is this to you?"
  2536. 1:17:59And she was like, "It's really
  2537. 1:18:00important." And I was like, "Well,
  2538. 1:18:01you're a single mom and you got four
  2539. 1:18:03kids." I was like, "I get it." And I was
  2540. 1:18:05like, "Well, what what can we do?" And
  2541. 1:18:06she was like, "I think I'm going to
  2542. 1:18:08start driving Uber." I was like, "Are
  2543. 1:18:09you sure?" I was like, "It's going to be
  2544. 1:18:10you alone at night." And she's like,
  2545. 1:18:11"This is important to me. Like, I'll
  2546. 1:18:12make it work." And you know, the kids
  2547. 1:18:14like, "Well, I'll just I won't go out to
  2548. 1:18:16dinner one night a week. I'll make it
  2549. 1:18:17work." And I was like, "Okay, you sure?"
  2550. 1:18:19And she was like, "Yeah." And you know
  2551. 1:18:20what? Susan's down 60 pounds in the last
  2552. 1:18:23six months since she made that decision.
  2553. 1:18:24And the thing is is like, "Do you what
  2554. 1:18:27do you want to be?" And then she's like,
  2555. 1:18:28"I'm at 200." I'm like, "What do you
  2556. 1:18:29want to be at?" She's like, "My high
  2557. 1:18:30school." I'm like, "If that happened,
  2558. 1:18:31would it be worth it?" And then she's
  2559. 1:18:33like, "Yeah." I'm like, "Well, the
  2560. 1:18:34question is, what do we need to do to
  2561. 1:18:35make it happen?"
  2562. 1:18:36>> You know, like, and you and then and
  2563. 1:18:38then all of a sudden it's like, right,
  2564. 1:18:39we're back in. And so I just I hardcore
  2565. 1:18:42believe that you overcome objections
  2566. 1:18:44simply by asking the question of what
  2567. 1:18:45they were intending. I think a really
  2568. 1:18:47good belief for sales people is that if
  2569. 1:18:48you don't close a sale, it means you
  2570. 1:18:49didn't understand the prospect enough.
  2571. 1:18:51>> Because if you literally knew every
  2572. 1:18:53single thing about a prospect, like you
  2573. 1:18:54were God and you knew every single thing
  2574. 1:18:56that had ever happened to that person,
  2575. 1:18:57you could close them. And so simply
  2576. 1:18:59having the frame of curiosity, which is
  2577. 1:19:01probably the number one thing I teach
  2578. 1:19:02our guys is like you have to genuinely
  2579. 1:19:04be curious. And so it's like what
  2580. 1:19:06brought like that's why the first
  2581. 1:19:07question is what brought you into clar
  2582. 1:19:08clarify why they're here. Yes.
  2583. 1:19:10>> Right. And like what have you struggled
  2584. 1:19:11with? Why did why why did that suck?
  2585. 1:19:13Okay, that's good for me to know. What
  2586. 1:19:14else have you done? Okay. What are the
  2587. 1:19:16things that you know and we just walk
  2588. 1:19:17our way through this? Yeah. And that's
  2589. 1:19:19that's what I um I try to get. If you
  2590. 1:19:21like this video and you're a business
  2591. 1:19:22owner who wants to break through your
  2592. 1:19:23current revenue ceiling, I distilled
  2593. 1:19:25every lesson from scaling 10 businesses

  2595. 1:19:28past 100 million into a completely free
  2596. 1:19:30scaling road map that I've used to go
  2597. 1:19:32from 0 to 1, 0 to 10, and 0 to 100 plus.
