Do you really want an answer to that question or was it more just a statement? Happy to oblige with a response I just don’t want to waste time if you believe what you believe, and were more so looking to express that than looking to be curious about why. Feel free to be “highly skeptical” but I’m not really interested in diving deep into any reason behind this if you’re more skeptical than curious, if you catch my drift.
This really piques MY curiousity, though. Why have you taken sales courses? Are you in sales? Is it the most important thing in the world to you? Does one tiny tiny perspective shift have the possibility to triple your income literally overnight?
You have to understand… and we can dive deeper into why… but the first Sales course I ever bought was from Eli Wilde, and after watching 3 hours of that content, I went from a 5% close rate to a 50% close rate, and I went from making 3K/mo to making 15K/mo+. Not revenue, etc etc, that’s what landed in my bank account. My next sales course added some numbers to that paycheck as well.
In that sense, every sales course I’ve ever taken has been free, because it’s paid for itself instantly and 10x, 100x, 1000x beyond what I paid for it.
I only need to make 20 sales that I wouldn’t have made because of this course and I doubled the money on my investment, short term.
On a extremely low volume week, let’s say I take 10 sales calls a week. The number is more like 15, but let’s say 10. That’s 520 sales calls per year. To make 20 sales, I need a closing percentage increase of 4 percent. I need to go from a 31% close rate to a 34% close rate.
So on my first year, I’ll double my money if that’s ALL that happens.
Worst case scenario… I don’t hit my goal, and this sales course does ALMOST nothing for my goals. With ZP, and the fact that I’m making personal commitments to study sales intensely on a weekly basis now, making “no improvements” is literally impossible. So I only increase my closing percentage by 2%. Well… I basically break even the first year. But if my closing percentage increased by 2%, it stayed that way every year. So the first year, I made 16K based on increased closing revenue - that pays for the program, but I make no ROI. The next year, I still have a +2% closing percentage, so my annual income went up by 16K. The year after that, another 16K, etc. etc.
Mid-case scenario, an extremely conservative estimate, my closing % goes up by 4% instead of 2%. Now I double my money the first year, and additionally make 32K/yr on top of what I’m currently making.
Best case scenario… well, the math gets crazy.
And here’s another thing.
I didn’t really buy a “sales” course. I bought the deepest course humanly possible on understanding the inner workings of psychology and human influence, and will be using it to understand humans at an entirely different level for the rest of my life. It’s also a course of learning how to become the type of person that IS extremely influential, through a variety of methods, ultimately aimed at increased confidence and authority, and I’ve already had an LSD trip which completely eliminated any social anxieties, since starting this course, simply because I was able to apply those concepts to myself while in an altered state.
And finally, my ultimate business goal is to create a non-sales-sales coaching program for sales people who want to level up their identity, not their sales skills - aka they want to become uber-disciplined, they want to become master influencers without the need for any scripts, they want to understand human psychology at the deepest level, they want to enhance all the social and personal elements that come BEFORE “what closing line should I use?”, so, me buying this course is also a way for me to take something that hasn’t been applied to the sales world and apply it to that world more directly for long term business.
For all those reasons and more, yeah, I don’t lose sleep over the course.
As per the question… isn’t ZP more effective than anything else?
Let’s apply that to other domains.
Is listening to LoTS more effective than learning proper exercise form?
Is Primal Seduction more effective than learning from the best people in the world about seduction?
Is listening to Love Bomb more effective than journaling about self love and meditating?
Why compare when you can do both, is my question?
LoTS is more effective IF you learn proper exercise form, Primal Seduction is more effective IF you also learn from the seduction coaches that resonate with you, etc etc.
Let me put it to you this way. I am very very good at taking sales courses and making an ROI. That’s not in replacement of ZP that’s BECAUSE of ZP - ZP makes you hyper effective at learning, activating the reticular activating system to find the exact information out there that will help you accomplish your goals - but you still need to expose yourself to the information
