1. Focus on listening 80% of the time

Great salespeople are great listeners. 

You will close more if you spend 80% of the time listening and 20% asking questions.

2. Don't confuse the buyer

Confused people don't buy. If there's an inch of doubt in your voice, you'll probably lose the sale.

Learn how to handle all common objections beforehand. 

3. Present yourself well

• Dress well
• Don't be late
• Speak with confidence

If you want others to value your work, value yourself first.

4. Acquire the right mindset

• You can't close every sale
• Pitching "more" isn't more persuasive
• People want to be heard and understood
• Prepare for every sales call
• Act with confidence 

5. Avoid critical sales errors

There are 3 sales critical errors:

• Not being prepared
• Appearing desperate
• Using the wrong words

Simple fix:

• Study common objections in your niche
• Replace the "I need to close this" mentality with "Let's see if the prospect 

is a good fit"

• Replace words that...

1 Not selling because you are scared to sound salesy

 Salesy isn't even a word in the dictionary.

 There is no definition for it. It's a made up thing to keep you poor.

 If you have an offer that helps people, then start promoting it!

2 Not searching for clients daily

If you are not actively searching for clients, you won't make money.

Just because you have clients today, doesn't mean you will tomorrow.

Dedicate 30 minutes every day to start new conversations.

3 Not trusting yourself or the product you sell

 You can't sell a product to a stranger, if you don't believe in it.

 The lack of confidence will keep you poor.

4 Not being consistent

 You can't give your everything 1 day, then sleep for a week.

 Show up as often as you can, but never quit.

5 You don't have an irresistible offer

 If your offer doesn't have 10x the value in relation to the price, change it.

 An irresistible offer has considerable less risk...

Sales is a skill composed by many other skills

These S will get you ahead of the 96% of other sales people:

1. Empathy

Being able to understand how people truly feel it's powerful.

If you master empathy, you will know exactly what to offer people.

2. Listening in detail

Capturing important details by actively listening is key.

Often times, leads will tell you exactly what they need. If you listen closely, you will offer exactly that.

3.Persuasion

The ability to convince people to trust what you are saying.

Mastering persuasion will allow you to live a better life in general.

Every day, we try to persuade people to believe something is good or bad.

Start doing it intentionally.

4. Psychophysiology and lie detection

I graduated in Psychophysiology - the understanding between mind and body.

Best decision of my life.

While working 6+ years in lie detection, I am now capable of predicting what people will say or do in given situations.

5. Emotional...

A Thread You Must Read...

1. Confidence

If you don't trust yourself, why would buyers do so?

Building confidence is essential for business and sales.
Here are my 2 favourite ways to do it...........

- Practice your sales process and delivery. 

This will help you to gain confidence.

- Get results.

Once you see that you are capable of delivering your service with excellence, your confidence will increase!

2. Empathy

If you are incapable of understanding the situation of your leads, you won't be able to close the deal.
Understanding and tackling exactly what troubles them, will help you make sales.

Spend 24 hours in agreement with other people. Just try it out.

Agree to everything.

This exercise will help you practice your listening and empathy.

3. Persuasion

If you want people to buy from you, help them understand WHY should they?

This is where persuasion is essential.

Mastering persuasion will help you to showcase better your service &...

These phrases will damage your sales!
To grow your business and make more money, do not use them.

1. 'I am sorry that I am late' 

This lowers your status and puts emphasis on the fact you were late.

Instead, simply say:
Thank you for your patience.

2. 'Do you make the decisions'?

This can appear disrespectful to the person you are talking with and break the deal.

Instead, simply ask this:
Who else will be involved in the process of making the decision? 

3. Would you like us to work together?

Cmon, this sounds like a kid in school asking another one 'wanna be my friend'...

Instead, use the assumptive close and say:
Would you be paying with your debit or should we do a paypal?

4. We only work with the best

Many people do not want to be the best or strive to be the best. It sounds gimmicky and elitist without need.

It sounds cool to say this, but it will cost you a lot of sales... 

5. My competitors are worse than me

These are the tips I wish I read about sales when I was 22...

1. Family and friends are the easiest cutomers

Whenever starting a business, the easiest sale would be to the people who already trust you.

If the product is relevant, offer it to them!

2. People will buy you more than they buy your product

If people like you, they are more willing to buy from you.

In fact, they are willing to reject other offers which are better, just because they like you and your personality.

3. Buyers focus on the perceived value, more than the actual price

Everything and anything can be expensive and cheap for different people.

Person A, hates football: a shirt signed by messi holds no value to them.

Person B, loves football: is willing to pay $10000 for that same shirt.

4. To sell more, you need to connect with more people

Word of mouth is one of the most powerful sales drivers.

5. Treat sales, like you would treat dating
