    I'm going to discuss in this episode the flaw in using a script. It is the one thing that becomes the biggest crutch in your sales business.At the same time, if you don't use a script, you have kind of this Old Wild West feel to your message and you don't really have good talking points or the best benefits that come out in that sales process may not even be benefits that you're prepared to offer your clients.As closers, we really enjoy using scripts. It actually helps us, it maintains our integrity and allows us to stay on track for the call. There's actually a method of putting a script together, that creates a lot of points.

    In this episode, I am going to talk about when I should hire a closer, what I look for in a closer, and as a closer, whether I am what experts are looking for to hire. It will all be about when it's time to transition to hiring a closer or before you get to that stage, what you need to know and how you need to apply yourself in order to be ready for it.I’ve been having conversations with individuals with passion, with a dream, with vision, who've built businesses based on serving other people. At the end of the day, many of them have been wanting to transition from working their guts out, making marketing material, serving their clients, and also wearing the sales hat.

    In this episode, I am going to be discussing something that no script can help you with, and that is when you're doing everything right, but it all seems to go wrong. I remember the first time I actually recognized what was going on - I was actually on a call for selling a high priced item, high priced coaching, and mentoring courses. I thought I was having great conversations with the people I was looking to enroll. They loved the expert. They had a really strong bond with the material they had consumed already.I was just looking for an opportunity to enroll them right away, get them into better products, get them working more closely with the person who is going to be coaching them, and teaching and helping them along the way. What I didn't realize was that although the conversation was going well, I was missing something, because at the end of the day, it was broken.They had more questions. I wasn't able to close them, and it was very frustrating. The problem was that I wanted to overcome the need to handle a lot of objections and be able to help them with their concerns of buying, and help them get out of their own way to acquire what we were trying to sell them. And what I realized was that in those moments, I was making a bigger deal out of some of the questions, and they weren't objections. They were actually buyers’ questions. So, I’m going to tell you how to overcome the client's final concerns. Stay tuned.Key Takeaways:All these personal internal judgments about why they're asking questions (3:16)For the majority of people, they're just curious about the next step (3:31)Sometimes, they want to know a little bit more, or a better explanation (3:50)Often, when you make those rebuttal statements, a reaction is set off (5:55)I don’t use objection statements now - We’ve crafted discussion points (6:33)They want to purchase, but they have to overcome a bump in the road (8:43)There are pre-crafted examples that you can build into your business (12:01)Parallel their question to something outside of what you're selling (12:13)What can you share to make their statement or concern obsolete?

    Is having an agenda for the close inauthentic? How does setting a date to buy or cut ties better the value for your prospect? What if you just allow the conversation to flow and leave it open-ended?I know a lot of times it may feel awkward to have that agenda and have a purpose in place, but you will not be the leader of the call if you don't have an agenda and you will not have the control that you need in the process.When you have that agenda as a closer, it becomes more serious. They take you more seriously as well. And they respect you because you're not wasting their time in just chitter-chatter. And it makes you a better salesperson when you know you can't go off topic. Stay tuned for guidelines on setting forth your agenda.Key Takeaways:Their mentor, unfortunately, told them they shouldn't have an agenda (00:35)A time when I didn't show them the road map. But people want clarity (5:40)A goal to buy from me at the end of the sales process or move on (8:19)An agreement: “At the end, we'll make a decision together” (10:38)When you have an agenda, you can schedule more sales calls (11:33)Not presenting the agenda upfront can get them to see you in a bad light (14:36)Respecting their time as well as yours (15:37)If you're leaving it open-ended, you're always going to chase that person (17:13)----Additional Resources:The Legendary Closers Facebook GroupUnlock the Secrets to Closing Your Prospects----You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

In the world of high-ticket sales and premium price products...There is a time to close them. There's a time to offer to them. There's a time to market to those people. And it is never the same.I can’t emphasize enough the importance of being able to build a strong relationship with a lead, and cultivating in them the desire to buy, besides really knowing when it is the best time for you to go out there and offer the product to make the sale.

    In this episode, I am going to talk about how to deal with a know-it-all prospect, how to defuse them or exit them out of the funnel, and how to gain their confidence in you. Everybody has that one person who knows more than you do even when they're coming to you to buy a product or service.And I want to talk to you about how I handled that, because I didn't do really well and I don't know if it's about my personality or just who I am in sales as a closer, but I encountered this dilemma early on in my sales business, I saw this from some of the freshmen, and I still see this in sales people today or I wouldn't even be bringing this topic up.This is one of the things I train on and we teach a lot of, and I think it's because it literally offends your personality type. Like, if you are the type of person who doesn't like to be told what to do or how to do it, which is probably most of us, having a know-it-all tell you how to run your business or how you should coach them.It’s as if maybe they know more about what you're selling than you are or they think that they do. That can obviously offend you as a salesperson if you let it, if you don't understand exactly what's going on.

    In this episode, I’m going share the learning experience I went through in my first days in sales. It all started when I lost my business and had to take a high ticket sales gig where I initially struggled a lot to make gainful sales. Despite the challenges, I learnt as much as I could from the best closers and applied their tools and systems into my own sales ability to become one of the best and most reputable closers. Over time, that success afforded me the great life that I lead now, and I would like to help you achieve the same. Key Takeaways: Becoming a high ticket closer (02:22) Struggles in my first ever sales gig (04:21) Yearning for the non-ceiling income (08:14) The resolve to learn and succeed (11:26) Working hard and paying it forward (14:39) Additional Resources: The Legendary Closers Group -- You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
