strictly with the permission question and now we're open to the information and so it makes a massive shift in how people receive information and that's just kind of a tiny example of how nlp works in or brain science works in in sales what do you think your favorite part of the sales process is is it the initial contact the follow-up or maybe the sweet moment of closing the deal

Personally, I'm going to answer that different. My favorite part of that is the follow-up. Most people hate follow-up, but it's so fun and it's so easy because we already did the work. I know that nobody else ever follows up hardly. And when I follow up, I get business because nobody else is calling them back.

And so my, and it's conversations, they, every single time you get on the phone with somebody already did a project with, or already did an appointment with, they're like, oh yeah. Hey, how's it going? I remember. And so my favorites follow up.

Yeah, I 100% see the same thing. Of course I train a lot of different language, and all the different trainers have language around follow-up, and everybody wonders, well, what do I say? Well, the reason that we teach language around follow-up is not for the client necessarily. It's for the salesperson to get them to actually do it.

If we give them empowering language so it makes them feel more confident to do follow-up instead of begging, like, oh, I'm just touching base, circling back, all those things, Well, they feel more empowered to actually do it. But at the end of the day, statistically, the customer does not care. They expect five to seven follow-ups every single appointment.

And they expect two to three of those to be a legitimate phone call, not just an email or text. And that's statistics. Every single time follow-up is studied in our society. And so the fact that we do it and stay in touch doesn't matter what you say, just Pick up the phone and call the people. Text them. And if they don't answer, double dial, double tap.

Right. Yeah. It's really funny because this is like it seems to us because we're so experienced with it. It's like, man, this is entry level. But so many people don't do it. And I don't understand why, because they're literally sitting on millions of dollars of business and they're just not picking up the phone and calling them. So for everybody listening, pick up the phone. It's a goldmine.
