CONFESSIONS OF A CLOSER: FASTEST WAY TO GET THE SALE YES - NOT WHAT YOU THINK
Skip the Pitches and Sprint to "Yes" with This Podcast Hack!
Feeling like your requests land with a resounding "no" more often than a "heck yeah"? Buckle up, friend, because this episode is about to turn your "ask to task" ratio upside down. Forget the traditional sales song and dance – we're ditching the ditch and taking a shortcut straight to the "yes."
Turns out, people are actually more likely to help when you simply ask. But hold your horses, eager beavers! Just throwing out your ask willy-nilly won't work. Here's the secret sauce:
1. Don't Bury the Treasure: Imagine hiding a golden "yes" at the bottom of a deep, dark hole. Don't be that person! Put your request front and center, clear as day. No need to weave a web of pleasantries first – be upfront and respectful.
2. Skip the Problem-Solving Superhero: While you might be bursting to swoop in and solve everyone's problems, resist the urge! Let them come to you. This builds trust and makes the "yes" more meaningful.
3. Respect the Gatekeepers: Think of them as friendly dragons guarding the castle of decision-making. Don't try to sneak past – ask for their help in navigating the process. They hold the key to the "yes" door.
4. Back of the Line? No Problem! Don't jump the queue with a sales pitch. Instead, ask insightful questions and offer genuine value. This builds rapport and positions you as a trusted advisor, not a pushy salesperson.
5. Forget the Fast Talk: Ditch the manipulative tactics and focus on building genuine connections. People can sniff out a forced "yes" a mile away. Be open, honest, and let the relationship naturally lead to a joyful "yes."
By following these tips, you'll be amazed at how quickly you can transform your "no"s into "yesses." Remember, it's about collaboration, not domination. So embrace the ask, and watch those "yesses" roll in!
Now go forth and conquer your "yes" goals!
