I’ve been DM Setting for quite some time but everytime I take on a new client, it feels weird again. Sending the first 1000 messages always feels very unnatural and difficult. It feels like I’ll never get used to it (even tho I’ve send tons of messages before). But after those 1000 messages, it becomes easier and I start to be faster and more effective. While this happens, I listened to an episode of “The Game” and Hormozi was talking exactly about that phenomenon. The more volume you have in something, the more of that thing you can get done per hour. So your output grows without you spending more time on it. Great learning and something to keep in mind. It will get easier once you’ve done enough repetitions, so keep working

Alex Hormozi says in his videos/podcasts over and over again that it is more important to build goodwill/reputation than to cash in but I find it to be one of the most difficult lessons to actually do. My problem is, I’m always looking at the cash and not enough at goodwill/reputation. Whenever I find myself having the opportunity to make some money, I get blinded by it and try to get as much money out of it as possible. I get blinded to the amount of money I COULD make if I was just a little bit more patient and would deliver first, before asking for anything in return. As a lesson, I will try to gather more testimonials in the future as payment. This will probably yield me more than any money ever could at the beginning. So, for those out there who have already learned this lesson, if you have any advice for me, I’d love to hear it!

You’re probably killing the sale before having pitched anything and it’s impossible to find out if you don’t know this: The actual “selling” happens long before you try to close/pitch. It happens when the lead is able to feel and see before him the gap between where he is now and where he wants to be. How can we draw that gapp? While there are many techniques that aim at this, I’ll stick to the fundamentals because that's what I know best. 1. Let them paint their dream. It’s their dream, so ask them a ton of questions. Make sure you get answers that are quantifiable and measure. Don’t let them get away with vague answers or ranges of numbers. eg. “I want to earn $5k per month” is better than, “I want to earn a living” 2. Inflict pain (and urgency) Now it’s time to make them come back to reality. They had the joy of imagining what their dream is, now we’ll make them feel pain by not having that dream. How do we do that? We ask them what’s blocking them from reaching that goal. This brings them back to reality, plus let’s them focus all their pain on one clear roadblock. Again, the better you understand their roadblock, the higher the likelihood they will be sold. Now that our lead is very clear on the gap between him and his dream, he’s ready to listen to solutions/get help. And who would be better suited than the person who just talked him through this gap? (Hint: That is you) PS. If you’re asking the right questions from the start, this will feel like a natural conversation.

A few days ago, I wanted to help a friend get a job as a photographer. I tried telling him about a few of the things I had learned about selling but he just wouldn’t listen. I kinda became frustrated as I felt he was refusing everything I said. It was then that I realized his refusal was part of the beliefs he has around sales. I believe most people have the same beliefs as he as, if they are not working/involved in selling themselves. He told me getting the job wasn’t about getting as much money as possible and forcing something, but I just wanted to help him LAND the job. It became clear to me that sales was most definitely not purely about getting money and squeezing every penny out of your client/lead. Sales is about finding out how you can give the most possible value to your lead. To show how big of a pain you can help your client solve. And that is what I focus on when doing sales for my clients. Seeing how we can be of value and make sure their leads get what they truly want. PS. If you feel your clients don’t see the value clearly enough, it might be that your offer is not built around the right goals.
