When I started using the script, it felt very unnatural. Then, after some time, I started adapting it a little bit, and it became more comfortable, and my close rate continued to go up. Why? I had gone through the process of ‘Shuhari,' a concept in traditional Japanese martial arts that describes the stages of learning and mastery. It consists of three phases: Shu (守 - "Protect"): In this stage, the learner follows the teachings of a master without deviation. It involves learning the fundamentals and techniques precisely as taught. Ha (破 - "Detach" or "Break"): In this intermediate stage, the learner starts to break away from tradition. They explore variations, modifications, and adaptations of the learned techniques. This phase encourages creativity and a deeper understanding of the art. Ri (離 - "Leave" or "Transcend"): In the final stage, the learner transcends the teachings and forms their path. They have internalized the principles and are no longer bound by the specific teachings of a master. It's a stage of self-discovery and mastery.   #shuhari #sellingstyle

In this session, you'll learn the difference between how rational and emotional buyers make buying decisions.  You'll also be asked to evaluate what type of speaker, presenter or trainer you are and why it's critical that you align yourself and your material with their audience.  Whether you're an entrepreneur, small business owner or executive, aligning with your audience will help you become more persuasive.  Lastly, you'll learn the 3-Step BLEND formula for creating a presentation, speech or training material that connects with both rational and emotional buyers.

AI will eliminate, not displace, jobs over the next few years with almost 20% of jobs globally being eliminated.

AI will change how we sell and how buyers buy.

Here's how AI Makes Buying Easy and how selling will be a secondary activity in the sales process.
