  • 50: Qualifying Leads Before Enrolling Into Premium Offerings - Live Sales Training
    Nov 29 2019

    When it comes down to enrolling individuals in your premium products, your coaching packages, your masterminds, qualifying decision-makers is very important to your business. That’s what I talk about in this episode.

    I'm going to take you into an actual live training, a live event that I did, a complete mastermind where we had about 75 people in the room and I was actually challenged and I was asked to qualify the reason why I was making the statements, that you never move forward with the sale unless all decision-makers are either on the phone with you or in the room with you, and there are some main reasons. 

    Now, you might be thinking of the reasons why, or you might be thinking: “Well, no, I'll just pitch them anyways and they can go home and talk to their spouse. Well, there are some positives and negatives to both of those answers. So we’ll get into the training and listen up here on the podcast, and see which is right. Stay tuned.

    Key Takeaways:

    • A more in-depth questionnaire: Sending them a homework assignment (1:55)
    • Somebody can posture you up, or you can do the same thing for yourself (2:42)
    • You've got to tell him: “Okay, grab a pen and paper...” (3:17)
    • You lay out the time to be set aside, like 30 to 45 minutes (3:53)
    • Get the decision-makers on the phone or in the room, ready to make a decision (8:19)

  • 48: How A Closer Can Help Your Bottom Line
    Nov 8 2019

    In this episode, I am going to talk about when you should hire a closer, and what a closer can do to your bottom line.

    I want to bring you inside the business - working directly with influencers, experts, coaches, speakers and consultants who are looking to build their message but are stuck. They are stuck because they are closing themselves out of business.

    They are the closer, the salesperson, the customer service, the fulfilment, the marketing, and all of the above. So, will a closer improve your business?

    Typically, what we find is when you add a salesperson to your team, your energy goes through the roof, you accomplish more, and you have more time for yourself.

    Sometimes, you use need some more time for yourself. And that salesperson, that expert, can provide that. Stay tuned as we talk more about how hiring a closer can turn out to be a blessing for your business.
