THE PSYCHOLOGY

OF SELLING
The bridge

The gap

by Josue Valles
STAGE 1
SEPARATION
The art of selling is about separation;

distancing your prospect from their

current reality and moving them

toward something new.


In their world, their desires are merged with their

current situation.

They can't see a distance between their current

reality and the things they want.

To sell, you must create that distance.

Slowly and subtly, you must shift their perspective

until they see a gap between who they are and

who they could be.

You can do so through storytelling, imagery,

metaphors, and emotional appeals.

Use language that reflects the contrast between the

old (status quo) and the new (growth).

Questions also play a crucial role in this process.

The right questions act as a springboard for your

prospect to dream and see the gap between where

they are and where they want to be.

Once you achieve this separation, prospects enter an

"agitated" state and are more receptive to your sales

pitch.

The bigger the gap between the old and new, the

better the sale.

STAGE 2
BRIDGE THE GAP
Now you must build a bridge to connect the

gap.

This is where you present your product,

service, or idea.

No matter what you're selling, the key is to

link your product or service with your

prospect's ideal future reality.


The most seductive marketing is a blend of curiosity

and desire, built on the art of selling.
