The Power of Evoking Emotions in Sales | Successful Life Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

The Power of Evoking Emotions in Sales

Emotions play a significant role when it comes to buying. Have you ever
bought an expensive item just because you have some attachment to the
brand?

In Sales, learning to evoke emotions is essential. It would be best if you
learned how to make your target audience feel you understand their emotions.

The other day, I met with someone who had accepted my consulting proposal.
As we went through the proposal, she was okay until we got to terms of
payment. I noticed that her face went from looking upright to facing down, and
I knew there was a problem with that part.

I did my best to get to the bottom
of the matter, which made her feel emotionally heard and gave her the
confidence necessary to move on with the proposal emotionally heard.

Active listening and mirror words are two amazing ways that you can use to
make the other person feel heard. When having a conversation with anyone,
the best thing you can do is listen to them attentively. This makes the other
party feel heard. Mirror their last three to five words make them know you
were paying attention.

In this episode, I will share some tips on how you can evoke emotions in sales
that will help you get better in sales. Listen in and learn.

Key Talking Points of the Episode:
[02:18] My last week's meltdown
[05:41] The power of evoking emotions in sales
[07:35] Active listening

[08:40] Mirroring words
[09:58] My 2009 story
Magical Quotes from the Episode:
"Don't go into business with people that are not smarter than you."
"I'm really good at evoking an emotion. That's what you got to do, you got to
evoke some sort of emotion because we buy emotionally."
"If I could get to how they're feeling. They're going to understand that I
understand how they feel. Therefore, they're going to move forward."

Is Solar Sales a Scam? | Successful Life Podcast Jun 05, 2022

Show notes

From the shady dealings of Power Home Solar Energy to the rise of solar sales, it seems like everyone's got something to say about this hot topic. But what does the truth really hold?

They’re selling them a $70,000 solar system that doesn’t even work because
they didn’t pull the permit before they did the work.

Guess what? All those
solar panels and stuff that people purchased are worthless. Why take money
from innocent people for useless products?

Truth be told. Pink Energy is making things difficult for all the salespeople out
there, especially those in the solar industry.

They have failed in one job as a
company, training their people. Had they done better training, things would be
different.

Our renewal of vows is upcoming on the 9th of June. I wrote an email to a lady
requesting her to make our cake, and guess what her response was,” we will
need two weeks for this kind of order.” That’s shocking! I understand this
order may need time, but the lady should have given options. She also did not
consider the order included some cookies, which she completely overlooked.
If you are in trades, you need to take a few lessons from these situations and
episode:
 Training your people is essential if you want to grow.

 The construction industry is growing, and you need to do whatever it
takes to keep the people beneath you.
 Being the cheapest person doesn’t guarantee you a win. If anything,
people don’t trust cheap stuff.
 Time is of the essence when it comes to following up on leads.
Key Talking Points of the Episode:
[01:52] Is Pink Energy company scamming people?
[09:35] Funny story (sales 101)
[13:58] The essence of training your people right
Magical Quotes from the Episode:
“Salespeople by and large are not bad people, but this group evidently, did
some stuff they shouldn’t have done.”
“If you’re the guy that’s undercutting all your competition, you’re on a race to
the bottom.”
“The cheapest guy never wins.”
“Time is of the essence when you’re getting back to a lead.”
“If you’ve got solid people underneath you, you’re crazy not to keep those
people underneath you. Because if they leave you, they’re not coming back.
People are paying way more right now than they ever have in history.”

Bob Burg | The "GO"Giver Podcast May 21, 2022

Show notes

Corey Berrier interviews the top guests in the top contact that’s relevant today for your sales in your business. Get tips from the experts on how to be a successful life.

Corey Berrier, CEO of Sales and brings you top guests in the top content that is relevant today for your success. Get insider tips and strategies from sales experts, entrepreneurs, authors and more!

Today’s Episode Summary:
On today’s podcast, I have a very special guest, Mr. Bob Burg; a sales expert, speaker, and author of several books on sales, marketing and influence, with total book sales approaching two million copies. Bob started his career 40 years ago with a sales system that changed his destiny in the world of sales forever and now he is helping other people to grow in sales. Bob also has a library and has turned the knowledge and wisdom of other people into his own through its right application. Today Bob is sharing with us his wisdom of 40 years on sales and he is also entertaining questions of our Clubhouse audience.
1. Bob explains that selling a product/service is not just about going out and telling people about it. It’s about having a well-proven system that guarantees to generate more sales. Such type of sales system is usually based on logical and specific set of ‘how to’ principles which can help you to predictably achieve more sales.
2. Secondly, don’t make “money” as your prime reason of sales. Rather focus on providing “value” to your customers because money is just a reward for hitting the target of serving others. If you will approach selling this way, people will willingly exchange their money with the value, they will also be your walking ambassadors, and they will refer you to everybody.
3. As a salesperson, you should focus on the wants and desires of your customer. You should provide them value that THEY think is a value, not what YOU think is a value.
4. If you are a Solopreneur or you are running a small company then you should focus on making enough money so that you could afford to hire people who could take care of your administrative work. And if you will not hire someone at some stage or point, you won't be able to grow sustainably.
5. If you want that your employees, particularly young employees, follow the core values of your company then you should remind them again and again what your core values are and how your business wants them to work. Secondly, your own actions must be aligned with your core values otherwise your employees won’t follow these values either.
6. If you want to increase charges for your service, first make sure you are providing a significant amount of value. Secondly, calculate the number of hours you are giving to a client (whose rates you want to increase); if you are investing X amount of time on a client, that X you can give to 2 clients, you should better increase your rates.
These are few sales tips from our honorable guest & sales expert; Mr. Bob Burg. All of these tips have the potential to generate more sales and bring more money into your hands.
If you are selling any product/service and your sales are stagnant and you want to grow them then don't miss this episode. You will get a mind-changing sales approach in this podcast and it will help you to generate more sales for your business.
To learn more about “How to generate more sales”, take advantage of this podcast and listen to the 40 years of Bob's experience just in 1 hr &13 min.
What You Will Learn from this Episode:
1. How Bob discovered a well-proven sales system to boost his sales?
2. Definition of a “sales system” that can give you the desired result?
3. Why do salespeople fail?
4. Relationship of personal development with sales.
5. What is the best way to approach selling?
6. Importance of providing value to the customer.

Role Playing, SEX, and Success May 12, 2022

Show notes

This is the first time I've talked about our sex life on the show.

As a salesperson, occasionally, you find yourself confused about what strategies you require for value addition to your product. It narrows down to a cycle of roleplaying and utmost dedication. Roleplaying is an excellent playfield for learning tactical business strategies, while dedication pivots into a good salesperson.

I know you’re probably wondering why dedication and roleplaying? In this episode, I give a practical example of my wife, Autumn. Through engaging in questions and having conversations regarding sales, sharing opinions, and roleplaying, Autumn has pivoted and become great at sales. Her continuous dedication to sales and even her workouts have seen her crack the sales nut by not necessarily being a great salesperson but great at value addition.

Want to hear more? Listen in to this episode.

Key Talking Points of the Episode:

[08:09] Importance of roleplaying in sales

[12:53] The magic in letting people be

[16:45] Mastering the art of listening

[21:21] My hunt for a perfect VA

[26:29] Things I no longer care about

Magical Quotes from the Episode:

“When you really want something, whether it's in life, whether it's in business or a relationship, you have to fucking go after it."

“It takes a special person to execute somebody else’s sales process."

Excelling in Sales as a Service-Based Entrepreneur Apr 17, 2022

Show notes

Excelling in Sales as a Service-Based Entrepreneur

As a service-based entrepreneur, do you classify yourself as a salesperson? For instance, if you are a plumber, would you comfortably say that you are into sales?

It is astonishing to see how many service-based entrepreneurs disregard sales. If you are not selling, you are not in business. If you are in trades, you need to master the subtle art of selling. You need to know how to present yourself to your customers. For instance, if a customer asks you for an estimate for a particular job, you should go through the estimate with the client. Don’t just prepare the estimate and send it over.

Also, if you have a sales team, you need to keep training them to get better and help scale your business; if you need a sales coach to help, feel free to get in touch with me.

Key Talking Points of the Episode:

[00:47] How people in trades disregard sales

[11:56] How to ace your estimate and secure the bag

Magical Quotes from the Episode:

“What I found with service-based industries is that people don’t go over the estimate with the customer in front of the customer. When they go over the estimates with their clients, their closing rate goes up by about 50%.”

“If you want to be successful, you need to train your salespeople.”

“We’re all capable of doing whatever we want to do.”

“The truth of the matter is we all have a sales process. We don’t know it.”

“Sales is a unique opportunity for people. Sales is a great opportunity to make a lot of money.”
