Your ego loves it when things are complicated, that way you don't have to do the things you don't want to do. Unfortunately, as a result of you not doing what you didn't want to do causes you to not achieve what you wanted to achieve. To save, you need to pay yourself first, spend less and make more.

Music by www.bensound.com Show Notes Salespeople love to talk! When meeting new people, the tendency for many salespeople is talk endlessly about themselves. Boring! Extroverted salespeople don’t realize they’re boring, while introverted prospects hate idle chit-chat. The FORD script is an easy way to remember how to effectively connect with new people Key to connecting with people at parties, on the phone and in any situation Always make a meaningful and memorable impression – without saying a lot of words! You may wonder, how do I make an impression if I don’t say anything? If I don’t tell them about ME? “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” When people know that you care about them and their interests or their issues, they know that you’re someone they can trust. The most dangerous word you can use when trying to gain someone’s trust is the word “I.” Make it all about them and genuinely listen as they answer the questions from the FORD script. Active listening The FORD script is so easy that you can take it anywhere with you and use it any situation. What does FORD stand for? Family – How long have they been married? How are their kids? What are their parents up to lately? Occupation – How are things going at work? What’s the best part about their new job? What do you do for a living? Recreation – Where are they planning to go on their next vacation? What clubs/sports/hobbies are they involved in when they’re not working? Music Education Dreams – If money were no object, what would they do with their live? What’s on their bucket list? If they could have dinner with any famous person, who would it be and why? Depending on how well you know the person will dictate the intimacy of the questions you can ask Conquer the fear of not knowing what to say (or the habit of saying too much) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/businessbrospod/support

Business Bros – Episode 63 – Insurance Explained (Home & Auto) Oct 16, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we dive into the home and auto insurance and what your insurance agent should be explaining to you about your coverage. Insurance is there just in case something happens, you are not on the hook for a large financial obligation. Monthly price is not always the best reason to buy a particular policy. Yes it is true that auto is required by law but the minimal coverages can leave you at risk. Why would you risk everything you have worked for? Home insurance also has some perks that we discuss on the episode. Lastly we go into detail on why you should also have an umbrella policy so you can sleep better at night.
