What psychological principles can transform my sales approach?
I didn't realize how terrible I was at sales until at 27 years old, I was sitting in my father-in-law's office listening to him fire me. Selling him on why I should keep my job and why it was in the best interest of him, the company, and myself to do so was one of the all-time best sells of my career.
What are common sales missteps to avoid?
Now, what we're going to talk about today are the psychological principles that came out of that conversation that I've implemented over multiple sales teams throughout my career and led to 12 years later when I founded my own company, writing 1,200 commercial insurance accounts in less than three years during COVID on an 80% plus close ratio across the board from every sales rep in the company. today we are going to discuss those psychological principles what they are their impact and how you can implement them into your business let's go in a crude laboratory in the basement of his home
what is up guys and welcome back to the show we have a phenomenal conversation for you today where i'm going to break down six psychological concepts that you can implement into your sales process today these are simple easy concepts however most sales people are not taught these. It's not that you can't do them. It's not that you're not able or that I have any kind of superpowers. I promise you there is not a natural sales bone in my body. Every bit of my sales success over a 20-year career, not only personally, but also teaching this to the teams that I was either an executive over or were part of companies that I have founded and sold, I have had to learn the hard way through business.
How should I adapt my sales process to buyer psychology?
boots on the ground, battle tested, putting words out into the market, using different phrases, using different timing, using different psychological tactics in order to figure out what worked best. What were the set of tumblers that you needed to use in order to unlock more sales? This is really great stuff. Number six is one that is going to blow you away. It is one that so many sales professionals don't actually think that they can provide. And we're going to talk about how you can use that six psychological principle, regardless of what business you're in, regardless of what type of product or service you are selling. Before we get there, I also want to make a big announcement. My Master of the Clothes sales course is now officially available.

How can paraphrasing build trust with clients?
all right so let's get into what we're going to talk about today these six psychological concepts so what i have found over the course of my career is that most sales die because we are focusing on the wrong things specifically we're trying to come up with a pitch and no one wants to be pitched nobody There's no one in the world who is like, you know, I just can't wait to have someone pitch me something today. Now, granted, if you're a VC investor or maybe being pitched by startups is part of your job, but that's different than being pitched to buy something. Now, in order to maximize our close ratio, we have to forget about the pitch and go to the psychology of the person who is buying from you. We have to dig into what they need to hear, what they're trying to solve, what they're trying to get out of a conversation with you in order to close the deal.
