2021-04-151h 06Bryan KaplanHow to Develop Insane Confidence Even if You're Not a Natural Born SalespersonThink of the very best sports figures from the past several decades. There is one thing they all have in common. Can you guess what it is? It’s not that they were gifted physical specimens who move through the court, field, or rink they play in. It’s not that they were given some insane amount of confidence upon birth that propelled them to where they are, and what they achieved.
2021-03-1556 minBryan KaplanGet Paid for Your Estimates and Improve Your Close RateHere’s the deal… a very long time ago someone decided that the relationship of effort to money would be that you expend effort before being paid. Pile on top of this probably the largest financial risk in any industry and you end up with a completely inverted financial relationship. One in which you are responsible for shouldering the costs for someone else’s home until you reach an acceptable level of completion where you are paid back, and take a small profit in recognition of this work.
2021-03-1549 minBryan KaplanYour Sales ProcessAsk yourself this question: Can I walk a prospect through the steps to take them from a complete stranger to a paying client? This is what it means to have a sales process. So much of the time, a prospect disappears because we haven’t done a good job of keeping them engaged, kept them moving through a process, and ultimately are making it up as we go along.
2021-03-151h 01Bryan KaplanTalking to StrangersThe reality of life is that the people you meet are strangers. In a very quick time frame - some research suggests as short as 7 seconds - people will make a decision as to whether or not they like that person, and if they don’t like you - they won’t do business with you. You don’t need to be best friends with your clients, but they need to like you on a deep primordial level.
