Am finally reading Robert Cialdini this year. But am forcing myself first to work through Elliot Aronson’s The Social Animal.
An excellent salesman is not ashamed of selling, because he knows what he’s doing isn’t “salesy”.
He takes the time to find out his prospective clients problems and why these are problematic for them.
He is highly skilled at communicating and/or demonstrating how his products / services can help resolve clients problems in a way that resonates with them so they are willing to buy from him.
Selling should be easy if the product is really good, a good product sells itself. A good salesman also has great marketing skills. True sell can use some nuevo rich
#1. Ability to fullfil the emotional wants of others in exchange for tangible results for you.
Explanation:
Eg. if u get an objection in sales: “i will absolutely not buy what u are selling no matter what u say.” U focus on what the emotion fueling that objection is. If by your EQ, u figure out he doesn’t feel respected in the interaction, u show him pure respect… After he accepts this, u put a condition (via subcommunications): “I will keep respecting u and make others respect u as well, IF u buy what I’m selling.” While hinting: “if u don’t buy it, I’ll take away all your respect and make everyone despise u.”
Now, something I must say is I’m running pheonix and no any persuassion subs. This process I mentioned above might just be coming from recon. I might just be discovering how manipulation works at its most basic level. But, I think I should post this here just in case this can be converted to a more positive principle to be put in the sub.
No. This is wrong.
Selling is about finding problems, and solving problems.
Not being a product pusher.
“I can sell ice to an eskimo” - okay so you can convince someone into buying something they don’t need, and doesn’t solve a problem for them. this makes you a scammer and a manipulative person, not a good sales person.
It was a joke . I was quoting Glengarry Glen Ross
*Total lack of neediness - Not ‘needing’ the sale, coming at it with a view of abundance.
*Charisma - In my (very limited) sales experience in retail and my own biz, you NEED Charisma. It doesn’t matter how good what you’re selling is if you sell it with the passion of a slug. But you can be shilling absolute toff and if you present it in a charismatic, interesting way, you’ll get your foot in the door. It’s what my copywriting mentor taught me years ago when writing sales pages - get hyped and sell from ‘high energy charisma’.
*Empathy - Being able to deeply understand where your customer is coming from, their problems and pain points, and show them how your product or service can help these problems in a specific way. Having deep empathy for them and ‘feeling’ their woes to be able to relate with clarity how your product/service can help them (If it can).
Another shot at this, a good sales person:
Is A Customer Whisperer: does not just understand their customers need but also anticipates needs
Shapes Customer Vision: deep understanding of their customer’s industry and can use that knowledge to paint a compelling picture of the future.
Builds Advocacy Beyond the Sale: sales is just the beginning. Cultivate long-term relationships with their customers and strive to turn them into loyal advocates.
High EQ and self awareness
Just for starters:
Network. Skills for networking, and who is actually in their network who is capable of helping them, available to help them, and actually helping them.
Credibility.
Trustworthiness. Assuming the person is truly trustworthy, as well.
I was wondering how True Sell can be effective for sales that requires the approval of multiple decision-makers.
E.g. you want to sell something to a company, and the person you deal with is not the ultimate decision maker.
While in principal he likes your product, he has many layers of managers above him who are the ultimate decision makers.
He is also often required to fill in lots of paperwork about your product, do due diligence on your company.
Or perhaps one example of such a situation would be the sale of an aircraft jet, which is a long intensive process, requiring many people to be on board playing different roles before the deal is closed.
Is this something True Sell could help with?
I am doing a Lovebomb & Sanguine custom so my suggestions are influenced by the journey I am on.
Love selling
Love winning
Love business
Love earning big
Love good deals
Love connecting and socialize
Love to be a sales person
Three sentences.
The best salesman are ultra high performers and while emotionally intelligent and can relate and love people keep their own on the ball, dual process of relatedness and outcome, everything is relevant even curiosity, questioning and statements towards moving the needle.
They have complete conviction, confidence, and certainty but also authenticity-there just real- in what they are conveying and know how to radiate and state transfer that.
They can speak in extensive detail to succinctly to address what’s actually needed and can read between the lines to speak to what actually matters or ask about what actually matters. (Its all value exchange)
bonus sentence: They have emotional regulation as needed and are comfortable walking away from a position of abundance.
I have not gone through the thread in full but will.
I have A LOT to say on this but for now will say the following
True Sell is great, it is missing some things
As great as the feedback is here I would recommend looking into the following authors persons for a comprehensive effective subliminal
number 1 best seller lee bartlett (https://leebartlett.com/)
Anything Jeb Blount Jeb Blount | Sales Gravy | Sales Training - Sales Consulting - Sales Coaching
And Jordan Belfort The Way of the Wolf
I’m sure @Niles and @Jouissance have as good or better suggestions as well.
I would also recommend distilling the principles/ ‘scrolls’ of The Greatest Salesman in the World Og Mandino into this sub. The same way the 48 laws of power are in PCC/ The Will to Power. I Honestly think in and off itself this would make a life changing sub.
Here is a list of what I think would be top in this. True Sell is great currently but could stand to grow a lot
- Wealth manifestation and client manifestation. This is number one for sales -in creating customs to add these elements my sales with True Sell my sales went through the roof. I still see areas where this could be more consistent and a sub with a huge emphasis for that would be incredible. Especially manifestation close-able clients. Sales skill is great but unless it’s the right prospect it’s useless.
- ‘Neuro-persuasive communication’- saying things that actually shift and influence people’s choices.
- Ability to always come through in the clutch-last stand and mountain breaker do this for me- incredible for sales performance monthly- I never drop below the highest level of performance.
- Strong winning mindset, expectation of success
- Transmuting/barrier/releasing rejection, negativity, and emotional regulation
- Generating strong trust and desire to move forward with people.
- Loving sales, loving performance, loving the process.
- For me personally feeling but transmuting the right amounts of jealousy, competitiveness, scarcity, using it effectively. I would say the right relationship to it can be rocket fuel for performance, but a slippery slope. It’s more related to high standards of performance, being the best, and winning.
- Agreed with Niles on whatever is in HOM that manifests the right connections, relationships, clients for sales. HOM has rapport building that is really really good but it also can become ‘sticky’ in sales, people get too related
- Seeing and trusting someone as the authority and having their best interests in mind
- An ability to blow ‘sales’ resistance’ out of the water.
- Knowing when to ‘close’ and when to pend- sales can be a 1 call close or a long game- this sub should support both- as fast as possible- and the ability to work towards a deal meaningfully over time. If there was a focus on one- in a sales sub I’d say as fast as possible without regret.
- People having stronger follow up interest- ‘Kings Radiance’ element
relationship building and client management is a % of sales but not the main archetype of success
Wanted to get this out, more to come
I will have to run this at some point in the future. I remember many years ago reading or being told how everything is sales. It’s true. Seduction is sales. A job interview is sales. Parenting is sales. It’s all about influence.
When I was in customer service we had to do transitional selling and I hated it. I wasn’t confident in myself and felt I didn’t have sufficient sales training. Same when I was doing debt collection. I understood how and why the top commission earners did so well. They had a completely different perspective and mindset.
By the look of things, True Sell is going to be a game changer. I joined a private mentorship group not so long ago to gain entrepreneurial skills and mindset. Looking forward.
I agree on all of it except for parenting. Parenting is influenced-based for sure but not in a salesy way. You influence your children by loving them unconditionally first then by being the example of what you want to teach them.
