A sales roadmap is often presented as a step-by-step guide to closing deals. But here's the thing: If your roadmap is focused only on the destination—making the sale—you might be missing something crucial along the way. The journey is about creating trust with your prospects at every step, not just rushing to the finish line. In this month's Stump The Guru show, I talked about “Do You Have A "Sales Roadmap"?.

Objections are a common part of the sales process, but here's a thought: What if trying to “overcome” them is actually working against you? When we push against objections, we're not connecting with the true concerns of our prospects. Instead of seeing objections as hurdles to overcome, let's see them as opportunities to listen and understand. In this month's Stump The Guru show, I talked about "Should You Be Overcoming Objections?". I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form: · Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!)· Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure· Stop selling, create deep trust instead This podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

We often assume that more information is what our prospects need. But what if that's not the case? In reality, giving too much information too soon can overwhelm them and drive them away. What they really want is clarity, confidence, and trust in you—not a firehose of facts. In this month's Stump The Guru show, I talked about “Is Information Really What Your Prospects Want From You?”. I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form: · Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!)· Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure· Stop selling, create deep trust instead This podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

Welcome back to "Accelerate Your Business Growth." I'm your host, Diane Helbig, and today we have a phenomenal guest joining us—Ari Galper, a renowned authority on trust-based selling. If you're tired of traditional sales tactics that feel forced and counterproductive, you're in the right place. In this episode, Ari compares the sales process to a therapist-patient relationship, emphasizing the importance of prospects "owning" their problems for effective solutions. We dive into his innovative "trust-based languaging" approach, designed to foster integrity and understanding rather than just securing a yes. Ari introduces us to terms like "hopium," describing unrealistic optimism in sales, and explains why we need to eliminate phrases like "follow-up," shifting instead to requests for feedback to foster genuine dialogue. We also explore his transformative model called "Unlock The Game,"j which minimizes the pain of rejection by focusing on trust and integrity instead of high-pressure tactics. We touch on common sales myths, discuss how to diffuse objections rather than create resistance, and understand why authenticity is key in every interaction. Whether you're uncomfortable with traditional sales methods or seeking to become a high-performing salesperson, this episode offers invaluable insights.

When you're challenged by a prospect, your first instinct might be to defend yourself. But what if that's not the best response? Defending yourself can create a barrier between you and the prospect, making it harder to build trust. Instead of pushing back, what if you leaned in with curiosity and understanding? In this month's Stump The Guru show, I talked about “Are You Defending Yourself When Challenged?”.

Jack Martin speaks with Ari Galper, a renowned authority in trust-based selling. Ari shares his "One Call Sale." The post Trust-Based Selling as an Advisor in a Commoditized Market with Ari Galper (Ep. 77) first appeared on Simplicity InsurMark.
For a long time, referrals were the “I've made it, I'm good at what I do, I don't need to market myself,” safe zone for many advisors.As referrals started coming in, there was a sense of relief that you could keep your foot on the brake and not have to worry about stepping on the marketing pedal to accelerate your practice.But waiting for your phone to ring for a referral is no longer the safe zone as it once was, unless you are happy depending on an unpredictable and passive model to grow your business.In this month's Stump The Guru show, I talked about “Why Relying On Referrals Is A Liability?”.I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form:· Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!) · Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure · Stop selling, create deep trust insteadThis podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

What could be worse than having a qualified prospect who you can help, slip through your fingers and vanish?You did everything right in the initial conversation.You were friendly, gave them great information, and you didn't pressure them to move forward.But at the end they say:“Thank you so much for your time.

Our instinct to gaining a new paying client during the sales conversation, subconsciously directs our thinking to keeping the sales conversation constantly moving forward -- so we don't lose momentum, ending in losing the potential client.So, when an initial sales conversation with a prospect runs out of steam, and feels like it should reach some kind of conclusion, we often fill that awkward moment with: “Do you have any other questions I can answer for you?”.That prompts them to respond along these lines of: “No, I think that pretty much covers it... thank you for your time”.At that point, you might feel a sense of relief that you avoided an awkward moment that would've left the conversation on a cliff hanger.In this month's Stump The Guru show, I talked about “How to End the Sales Conversation, Without Ending The Sale”I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form:· Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!) · Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure · Stop selling, create deep trust insteadThis podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

Being an expert often comes with what I call “the curse of mastery” – when someone tells you about their problem, you immediately begin trying to solve it – because you can.The curse of mastery also comes with this belief: solving problems for your prospects up front, is how you prove your value by showing them you know your stuff.But the truth is, trying to solve their problems by providing information and insights in your initial sales conversation, could be the one thing that stops them from deciding to work with you.In this month's Stump The Guru show, I talked about “Do You Have "The Curse of The Mastery"?”.I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form:· Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!) · Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure · Stop selling, create deep trust insteadThis podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

How many times have you had an initial consultation with a new qualified prospect, where no matter how well you explained your process, they just wouldn't take the next step with you?For most advisors, it's far too many.Somewhere in the conversation the momentum is lost, they don't return your calls, don't respond to your emails, and you never figure out the root cause of why they decided to “ghost” you.In this month's Stump The Guru show, I talked about Why Your Prospects Won't Take the Next Step.

A funny thing happens when you have an initial conversation with a potential client. When they start sharing their challenges with you, you probably can't help yourself but to do what I call “free consulting”.Free consulting is when you provide information and education to prove you know your stuff.It assumes they're making their decision to hire you based on your competence – proven by the information and education you provide to them.I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form:· Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!) · Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure · Stop selling, create deep trust insteadThis podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

As an advisor, the last thing you want is to be labelled as a stereotypical “sales person”.But when your prospects don't give you enough information in your initial conversation, you begin educating them and fall into “free consulting” mode.You're a fiduciary, you have their best interest at heart, but they keep you at bay shopping around, seeing other advisors.In this month's Stump The Guru show, I spoke about “Is The Hard Sell Obsolete?”I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form:· Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!) · Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure · Stop selling, create deep trust insteadThis podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

Your prospect won't allow you into their world unless they perceive you as being selfless in your intentions.But unless your advisory practice is a non-profit entity, being selfless in your intentions is completely at odds with your need to make the sale.How do you reconcile this paradox?In this month's Stump The Guru show, I spoke about “Does Being Too Friendly Come With Downsides?”I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form:· Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!) · Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure · Stop selling, create deep trust insteadThis podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed, and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

He founded Objective Management Group, Inc., a leader in sales candidate assessments, and Kurlan & Associates, Inc., an acclaimed international consulting firm specializing in sales force development, recognized as a three-time Inc. 5000 honoree. His influential book, "Baseline Selling," reached #3 on Amazon.com and remains relevant even years after its publication, alongside his contributions to collaborative works and his own publication, "Mindless Selling."

Magazine's Conference and Gazelles Sales & Marketing Summit, Kurlan's expertise is frequently showcased in various media platforms. He introduced STAR, a groundbreaking recruiting method for exceptional sales talent, and curates the award-winning blog, "Understanding the Sales Force."SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling From The Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy dive deep into the concept of trust-based selling with special guest Dave Kurlan. They explore the importance of slowing down and being deliberate in the sales process, especially during the crucial stage between suspect and prospect. Using baseball analogies, they illustrate how rushing through this phase can erode trust and hinder sales success. Instead, they emphasize the significance of asking questions, listening attentively, and building a strong case for why prospects should buy. By adopting these strategies, sales professionals can establish genuine connections, differentiate themselves, and ultimately drive better results.KEY TAKEAWAYSSlowing down and being deliberate in the sales process builds trust and accelerates deals in the long run.Asking questions, listening attentively, and seeking clarity are essential steps in establishing rapport and understanding customer needs.Rushing to present or pitch products/services can create resistance and erode trust, hindering sales success.Building a strong case for why prospects should buy, based on their unique needs and challenges, increases the likelihood of closing deals.Using analogies, such as the baseball diamond, can help visualize and reinforce key concepts in sales strategy and execution.QUOTES"The better you do taking your time between 1st and 2nd base, the faster you can run from 2nd base to home plate.""Salespeople have a reluctance to slowly and patiently listen and ask questions. They prefer to start with a demo or a presentation, and they don't get that the very fact that they want to pitch something creates distrust.""If you want to lead your sales team in runs batted in and be known as the heavy hitter, walk from first base to second base.

Many advisors have been conditioned to believe that their prospects must like them first before they're willing to become a paying client.If you eavesdropped inside a typical initial conversationbetween an advisor and their prospect, you'd probably hear a lot of chit-chat about trivial things, that may not relate to their challenges.The problem with rapport-building on its own is that your prospects can sense you may have a hidden agenda behind it.In this month's Stump The Guru show, I spoke about “Does Being Too Friendly Come With Downsides?”I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form:· Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!) · Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure · Stop selling, create deep trust instead This podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

When there is an abundant supply of advisors in your local market, it becomes harder for you to differentiate yourself. As a result, it's easy to let your guard down and adjust your fees downward (or add more pre-sale “meetings” to your sales process), out of fear you might lose a new client opportunity.But if you allow yourself to become commoditized in this way, you open yourself up to being “shopped” against other advisors.In this month's Stump The Guru show, I spoke about “How To Know If You're Being Shopped?”I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form:· Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!) · Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure · Stop selling, create deep trust insteadThis podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

Are you overcompensating by going heavy on relationship-building in your sales process?Building deep trust with your prospects in your sales process does not require you to build a relationship with them.That's a BOMB in the entire traditional selling industry.If you have a very clear process on how to create trust in your sales process, based on their deep issues, then you don't have to spend your energy getting them to like you and become their friend first.Real relationships happen AFTER the sale, not before.In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I spoke about Why You Should Stop Building Relationships With Your Prospects.

Let me be blunt ... The number one goal is not to promote your product, brand or solution – but rather focus in on, and understand the problem your prospect is trying to solve. It is only then, when you have demonstrated your genuine concern for the problem your prospect is trying to solve, that you have the trust needed to offer a solution. Traditional selling methodology suggests a sale is lost at the end of the process. That you didn't nail your close, or you mishandled an objection. I beg to differ; I believe that in the new economy the sale is not lost at the end of the process but rather at the beginning. At “Hello”. And after hello, beginning the conversation acknowledging the problems your prospect is having, peeling back the layers on those problems, and showing empathy for the situation will allow you to begin to talk about the ROI for solving the problem and the impact that NOT solving the problem might have on the business. In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I spoke about why the sale is lost at the beginning, and not at the end.

You're coming to the end of an initial conversation with a potential new client, and everything seems to be going well.You've invested time with them to understand their issues and provided information and education to address their needs.But as the conversation naturally closes, there's an awkward moment, an empty space, where you and your prospect don't know what to say next.They haven't indicated they want to move forward, and you're careful not to put pressure on them to make a decision. But at the same time, you don't want to leave things hanging in limbo.In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I spoke aboutHow To Avoid Falling Into The Black Hole Of Chasing Prospects.

Are you tired of chasing prospects who seem interested in what you're offering, only to end up going silent or ghosting you altogether? It's a frustrating experience that can leave you feeling burnt out and disheartened.But here's the thing: what if I told you that some prospects may be giving you a "smoke screen" – a misleading impression that they're interested when, in fact, they're not?In selling, it's crucial to be able to recognize these smoke screens and avoid wasting your time and effort on unproductive pursuits.In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I spoke about Learning How To Recognize A “Smoke Screen” From Your Prospect.

What could be worse than having a qualified prospect slip through your fingers and vanish?You did everything right in the initial conversation.You were friendly, gave them great information, and you didn't pressure them to move forward.But at the end they said:Thank you so much for your time. Let me think about it, and if I'm interested, I'll get back to you.Do you let them go, or do you chase them and hope they'll have a revelation that you're the one for them?It's a dilemma, because you know you can help them, but you don't want to be perceived as chasing them.In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I spoke about How To Prevent Your Prospects From Ghosting You- Stump The Guru.

It's commonly accepted in the sales world that chasing prospects is an essential part of the game. However, this approach is rooted in a macho sales image that suggests that giving up on a prospect is equivalent to admitting defeat and failure.But let me tell you, that's far from the truth.The real objective should be getting to the truth if you are a fit or not, not simply making the sale. To truly succeed in sales, you need to have a complete understanding of where your prospects stand. Without this knowledge, you run the risk of being led on by partial information, which could make you believe they're interested in purchasing, even if they're not the right fit for you.In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I spoke about How To Get To The Truth Of Whether You Are A Fit Or Not? - Stump The Guru. I've made it my life's mission to give you the clarity that you are missing in your sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form.This podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed, and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

You've probably heard this over and over: “If you hear an objection, immediately overcome it and move towards making the sale.” That's a very one-sided approach to a moment that could get really awkward quickly. Objections are challenges raised by prospects. They put pressure on you, and they can bring your conversation to a halt, or help it grow. In this month's Stump The Guru show, I spoke about how to diffuse your prospect's objections. I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form: · Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!) · Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure · Stop selling, create deep trust instead I've taken my mission one step further and created a livestream show called “Stump The Guru'” -- where you get the opportunity to jump on live and ask me your toughest sales questions that you'd love an answer for.

Building trust during the sales process between you and the buyer is more important than selling and pitching your solution. By focusing on your buyer's needs in a conversation using specific languaging , you can bring out their truths, thereby deepening your connection with them. It is a hard sell to persuade, pursue, and convince people today. No one wants to receive another sales pitch. In this month's Stump The Guru show, I spoke about how you can stop the pitch and start a conversation instead. · Stop "chasing" ghosts (leads that never call you back!) · Make the sale in ONE conversation, without pressure · Stop selling, create deep trust insteadI've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form.

The secret to avoiding falling down this rabbit hole of chasing is to let go of the sale in your mind.Letting go of the sale simply means being genuinely comfortable with waiting for your prospect to take the next step in the conversation and doing nothing to intervene until they do. Your only goal in an initial conversation is to listen to your prospect's problem, expand their awareness and understanding of it, and discover whether it's a priority for them to solve it.In this month's Stump The Guru show, I'll be talking about “How do you set goals when letting go of the sale?”. I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form.This podcast is live, unedited, unrehearsed, and with guests from all over the world, from all different industries ….

You know the drill, you schedule a call with a potential prospect for your offering, you have a great conversation with them, they give you positive signals they are interested in working with you, then you hear “I need to think about it”. What the heck is going on with that? If you are hearing at least one of these after your initial consultation with your prospect, something is seriously wrong with your sales process: – “Sounds good…” – “I need to think about it…” – “We need a proposal from you” – “I need to digest what you told me…” – “Send me a follow-up email and I'll get back to you…” – “I need to talk to my partner about this and will let you know the outcome…” Hearing those statements is what makes selling painful. And this month, in my upcoming Stump The Guru livestream I'm going to show you what do to when you hear any of those responses. I've made it my life's mission to create the clarity that is missing in the traditional sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form.

Have you had a sales conversation that felt just “perfect?” The chemistry between you two was solid, their problem was clearly articulated, you helped them see that you can solve their problem and everything just felt “right”. Then at the end of the call, they surprisingly say: “This has been really helpful, let me think about this and I'll get back to you.” That's when they fall into the “black hole” of follow-up, where you're forced to “chase” them to get back in touch. What if you could avoid dropping your qualified prospects into the “black hole” of chasing? In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I'll be talking about “How To Create a “By-Appointment Only” Sales Model”.

Linear selling models create mistrust in a split second - the moment prospects sense that, although you seem to be interested in their problems and issues, you're actually trying to lead the discussion toward a close. When you do this, you're coaxing, persuading, and pushing things forward ... Which will cause the prospect to put up a wall, the opposite response to what you want.In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I'll be talking about “Is Selling Linear or Is It A "Deep-Dive?”.

The traditional sales formula looks like this:Qualify the lead + Present your solution = New paying client That's basic selling 101, isn't it? But if this formula, which has been taught by the “sales gurus” for decades, is bulletproof, then why doesn't every single person who is qualified become a new paying client? In this month's Stump The Guru show, I'll be talking about the missing piece of this puzzle that causes you to lose prospects who check all the boxes of what your ideal client looks like.

If you're chasing somebody and you don't hear back from them for a while, you will probably feel like you've lost them. And, you know you can't chase them anymore because doing that will inevitably burn the relationship with them, right!? Have you had those days where it feels like every sales conversation ends in rejection!? And how confidence shattering and exhausting that can be. Well, you know, I have discovered that this rejection and this chasing isn't random, it's triggered by certain things you say and do unknowingly that cause the other person to push back on you. In this month's Stump The Guru show, I'll be talking about Sales Rejection: Who Triggers It? You or Them? And how to increase your self-awareness about this.

Dave Lukas, The Misfit Entrepreneur_Breakthrough Entrepreneurship
This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Ari Galper. Ari is the world's #1 authority on trust-based selling. He's the best-selling author of “Unlock the Sales Game,” a must read by the way, and “The One Call Sale.” He's been featured everywhere from Forbes to INC and CNN and is sought after by business owners, entrepreneurs, and major corporations like Citibank and GE to help them improve their sales organizations. But the thing I am most excited for Air to share is the journey he took to become who he is. In some ways, it parallels my own journey with the Misfit Entrepreneur as we both have a very special why. Of course, we are going to talk all things sales and selling too. www.UnlocktheGame.com for a copy of Ari's book and other free resources. Ari met his wife over 20 years ago. She was from Sydney, Australia. He came to meet her family and fell in love with the country. They lived in LA for a while and moved to Australia after the birth of their son. He was in professional sales in tech and other industries prior to going out on his own. At the 6:30 mark, Ari tells the story of a major sale that would double the size of the tech company he was working. He did the demo and got awesome feedback. It went so well, he thought it was a done deal – until it wasn't. This was where he learned how important it was to use trust-based selling to succeed. Somewhere along the way, it has become socially acceptable not to tell the truth to people who sell. Instead, we hear things like “sounds good,” “Send me information,” “Send me a proposal,” etc. without the buyer having any intention to buy at all. Ari asked himself, “Why are people afraid to tell me the truth?” He realized that there is an invisible river of pressure that flows under every sales conversation, and you need to learn how to remove it, so you don't play the sales game. You must shift your mindset away from the goal of the sale and instead build deep trust with people where they feel vulnerable and comfortable enough to open up and tell you the truth. You credit learning to be your son's dad as a breakthrough for Trust-Based selling – what was the breakthrough? Toby has down syndrome which means he's open and honest, kind, and a joy to be around. He has no hidden agenda with people. He is honest and open and doesn't carry a shield. He lives in his authenticity and integrity. This is how it should be with a sale between the buyer and seller. We must detox from the old ways and behaviors of selling to a new way. A trust-based way. So, what is it that companies and salespeople doing wrong in selling? Most people live in myths such as “sales is a numbers game” It's not about that. It's about at how deep you go in each conversation. The sale is not lost at the end of the process but lost at the beginning of the process. Most sales calls are over at “Hello.” The other myth is that sales rejection is part of the game when in fact, it is triggered by old habits and ways of thinking. Define Trust-Based Selling… The redefinition of selling as you know it. It's not about making the sale for you. It's not focusing on your goal but focusing on their goal. 100% authentic going deep underneath their problem to a level where they feel you truly get them. Trust-Based selling is making the process all about them and not you. Take us through the process. How does an entrepreneur or salesperson get to the point where a prospect believes that they truly get them and understand them? Trust-Based language: Changing your words and language to show you are different. For example, always be diffusing pressure. Ari gives an example of a sales phone call at the 17 min mark and the moving forward conversation and how it should go. Instead of telling what they next steps are, ask “Where do you think we should go from here?” When you people feel you truly care about them and show it and back it up – it sets you apart. Why is the sale lost at “hello?” And what do people need to do differently in the beginning? We have been conditioned to start the relationship at hello, to build rapport. Relationship building and trust-building are mutually exclusive. The mistake is made where salespeople try to get people to like and know them. Buyers don't have to like you. Think of a doctor and patient. A doctor doesn't have the luxury of being liked as much as they are responsible for diagnosing solving a problem with a patient whether the patient likes them or not. Build relationships after the sale – not before the sale, so it's not fake at “hello.” Instead as entrepreneur or salesperson, you be the doctor. Peel back their issues and go to the place they don't even know about and help understand the real challenge to solve. At the 25 min mark, Ari gives examples of what to say on an initial call. It includes things like “asking for help” or asking if they “would be open” to a problem that you help clients solve. How is unlocking the sales game comparable to the Japanese art of Aikido? Aikido is all about no resistance. You deflect and diverge energy in Aikido. When you sense pressure or tension in the sales process, you are conditioned to two responses – fight or flight. Instead, don't try to fight resistance, but diffuse it and don't go to “fight the battle.” Diffuse and re-engage. For example, if someone tells you that your “fees are too high,” the natural response is to fight the battle for them. Instead, say something like, “You are absolutely right, it can be perceived as high if you haven't had a chance to actually the product or service to get the result you are looking for, to justify making this happen. Would you be open to looking at this from a different perspective to see how we can build a business case for this?” This is redirecting to a different path of thinking about things. How does someone develop themselves to be able to practice Trust-Based Selling? It is about unlearning. People typically put on sales armor, get ready for battle, and react in the moment because we are not centering ourselves. People have a pattern of moving things forward and the minute that is broken, we freak out and get defensive, we over-educate, give stuff away – we lose ourselves and the ability to be the “doctor.” We must be 100% present in the other person's world. It requires practice and coaching, a shift in mindset. Remove this phrase from your vocabulary – never ever again use the phrase “follow up.” Not in email or phone call, etc. The only profession in the world that uses that phrase is selling and sales. Stop being a “salesperson.” Get rid of the old language. Stop using “check in” or “touch base.” Instead use “I'm giving you call to see if you have any feedback from our last discussion or from our meeting.” Change you thinking and language and people will tell you the truth. Talk to us about the “One Call Sale.” Explain your philosophy. It is Ari's lifework in a book. It is a refined model that removes resistance at “hello.” It teaches you to be a “doctor” and have the right bedside manner to peel back the onion – like a therapist and patient. At the 37 min mark, Ari walks through some of the thought process. It is all about digging deeper and deeper below the iceberg. You job is not to move prospects forward, but to move them down the iceberg to where they say, “How can you help me?” Final thoughts? Let go of the idea that your job is to educate prospects of and in your sales process. They don't want work to do. They are not asking whether they want to buy a solution, but instead – is this person the one I can trust to solve my problem? Best Quote: There is an invisible river of pressure that flows under every sales conversation, and you need to learn how to remove it, so you don't play the sales game. Ari's Misfit 3: Stop selling. Build trust instead. Be the doctor and diagnose problems. Be present with people in their world so you don't slip out into your world.
