A Ronin Way to Open Convos with The 5 Ps
Still the #1 problem... I see with Ronin Rainmakers opening up conversations and relationships is focusing on prahdukt and numbers. We are not investing in prahdukts or even in distribution. We are investing in PEOPLE. If you want ANYBODY to invest time with YOU over a coffee date, etc. The SUREST way I've EVER FOUND... Is to invest time with them FIRST! This is the nature of investing, BTW. We invest first. Harvest later. 👉The reverse (and problem) is asking someone to invest time with you BEFORE you've invested time with them. The ironic things are: 1. It only takes about 15 to 30 minutes of time investment before reaching out. 2. If 15 minutes of investment isn't worth your time, then WHY do you want to even partner with them? 3. 50% or more of the time that 15 minutes invested will SAVE you from a bad partnership BEFORE it happens. Now... With the 5 Ps of pre-selling, you ALREADY have a framework of what research to invest in: ✅Pain: What challenges (precisely) have they overcome? What challenges do they state are facing them now? It may be the challenge of getting their message out to the world, etc. 👉EXAMPLE: It took my father dying before I got serious about not trading my time for money. My challenge now is breaking all the social programming to get folks to put down the clock and pick up tools of leverage like licensing. ✅Price: What is the cost to them, the world and humanity for their message, impact or solution to not be out in the world? 👉EXAMPLE: Doctors and spouses have some of the highest divorce rates than other professions. Would we have a cure for cancer if doctors' lives were better? Who is going to die because a doctor's home life is in shambles? What could that person have done? ✅Plan: What is THEIR CLEARLY DIFFERENT AND DESIRABLE PLAN? How is it different than the "competition" or others? This is one of the most important to find out for not only partnership, but monetary success. (I recently decided not to pursue a deal because they didn't have a PLAN that I believed in.) - 👉EXAMPLE: See philosophy below.
