How To Sell Anything
SERVE THEM BY GIVING THEM THE POWER TO SEE THAT THEY CAN
DECIDE
OBJECTIONS
Others:
Authority ( I have to talk to…)
Self: (CORE)
Avoidance “I need to think about it..” (fear of mistake)
*don’t call them a silly pants, call yourself a silly pants by giving a
personal story
Then it’s probably not a time issue, but a priorities issue. Actions
show choice. I complained and suffered from being broke but my
ACTIONS indicated that Netflix and zoom calls were more important
to me than not being broke (we vote with our dollars and time for
the things we care about)
3. When/Then Time Fallacy “when I have time Ill start” “ when I save,
then Ill invest” “when I make money, then Ill offer help” “when Im
healthy Ill start working out”
YOU GET HEALTHY BY STARTING FITNESS NOT THE OTHER WAY
AROUND
YOU MAKE MONEY BY OFFERING HELP
If I tell you here’s a Ferrari for 5000$ if you give me the money
tomorrow you will find a way to make that money as the value of the
thing is way over 5000$ ]
1. TOO MUCH MONEY: “GOOD!” It would be a concern if it wasn’t too
much! Aren’t you more likely to try really hard if it’s a commitment
like that? Would you believe the product did what it said it would do
if it was 1/10th price?
2. Logic for actually why it ISNT too much: say “ if you were able to
do a 50kg chin-up and muscle ups after this, would this price be
worth it to you?” YES
(Separation of price from belief)
SO then it’s not an issue of price but that you don’t believe this will
work for you (they are extrapolating previous failed experiences to
this one)
“I GET IT… but the only thing worse than that previous failure is
letting it burn you twice”
Girls in Sephora were told by Vendor “you are women now, you need
to start budgeting for this stuff” and they got super excited and
filled up a basket- new identity led to new priorities
If you want to be fit, you need to be it before you are and you do that
by voting with your dollars and actions
2. Pain of change
Pain of change > pain of staying the same
“Maybe you need to stay untrained for another 5 years until you
can’t bend over anymore”
Dou you want that? - NO
“Well you’re acting like you do…”
MAYBE YOU NEED TO BE BROKER, MORE IN DEBT, MORE IN PAIN…
3. Hypothetical:
Okay, if this program had everything you needed would you do it? If
it didn’t have this thin that bothers you would you do it?
YES
Cool, what card do you wanna used, we’ll take it out
OR
Ask “what’s missing?”
They won’t have an answer
“Good coz it doesn’t sound like the program is the issue but you’re
afraid of something…” PEAL THE LAYERS
It is a process of 3 steps
So it’s ALWAYS been your decision right, you know that they want
what’s best for you and you know you would want the best for them
too
ONE APPROACH:
One way to kill fear is to ask, so “what future are we going to kill off
(decidere)” the one of more of the same fears. Poverty and pain or
the one of decisiveness, change, growth, wealth and health and
everything you said you wanted?
Ask about:
1. PAST - REMIND THEM WHY THEY ARE HERE: remind them of past
decisions,
“This is not a fast decision, you’ve been deciding this forever” “now
we are just taking action/you are 6 inches from gold (stack all that’s
done- you saw an add, you booked time, you walked in etc - OF
COURSE YOU WANT TO DO THIS/ITS IMPORTANT TO YOU” “do you
think maybe the reason you’re not where you need to be is that YOU
ALWAYS NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT RATHER THAN TAKING ACTION?”
“Do you want another year of almost- almost being in shape/rich etc”
“how much has not deciding cost you”
2. PRESENT: when you say you’re going to think about it you’re not
actually gonna go home to the rocking chair, hand on chin and think
are you? You’re gonna….(bunch of life things): then 5 days from now
you’ll bend over feel pain/check bank account etc and you’ll be like
“oo I should have bought “ but you won’t for another 5 years until
there’s enough pain for you to start all over again
OR
5 years from now what does life look like if you keep doing this?
(You’re marriage/weight/bank account?)
Maybe we’ll be another 20lbs heavier
Both options are risk free, only one gets you the results you want,
which one will it be?
NOTE*: don’t say this will get you want you want but CLOSER
“Maybe it won’t get you what you want but won’t it get you closer??”- we don’t have
the perspective to make a judgement: Sandy’s first diet MAY not be the one but will it
make her better/closer to before?? YES (think about my experiences with workouts etc-
we are all SANDY)
TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF MAKING THE PERFECT DECISION (SOS)
James Elliot: ket’s not be nice, let’s be KIND: the truth hurts
BONUS: whatever reason they say “they can’t do it” you say “that’s the reason you
SHOULD”- as the thing they are presenting with is the thing they are afraid of
Recap:
Circumstance: it’s about resourcefulness, not resources
Others: You want support, not permission (you have permission always)
Self: it’s not about time, it’s about information. You have information so you just need
to decide (1: you’ve been deciding for years, 2: rocking chair and walk them through a
RISK FREE INFORMED decision, 3: what will happen if you decide to act vs don’t act-
will it get you CLOSER?”
Sales are NOBLE == helping them realise they have internal locus of control- its just
you and every decision is a vote towards the person we want to become or not
