COACHING SESSION #1 OVERVIEW (3h 13m) Wednesday Dec 3, 2025
This first founding-member call set the tone: not information-dumping, but transformation-building. We walked through the real work of selling — clarifying offers, reading people, building rapport, and approaching opportunities with confidence instead of pressure. This session speaks directly to consultants, creators, and service-based entrepreneurs who want to stop overthinking and start winning with simple, human, relationship-first sales. It matters because most people don’t have a sales problem — they have a clarity problem, a confidence problem, or a connection problem, and tonight we started fixing all three. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Proof before price — start with what’s already worked, not what people think you should charge. • Face-to-face conversations are still undefeated; rapport is the bridge, not the pitch. • FORM (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Message) is the cheat code to warm up any cold conversation. • Stop stepping over dollars to pick up dimes — validate your $500 before jumping to $3,000. • Know your people: Red/Sharks, Blue/Dolphins, Green/Urchins, Yellow/Whales — different motives, different messaging. • The indirect approach removes pressure, especially for introverts — ask, don’t pitch. • Chambers are not gatekeepers; they’re people. Research them, understand their personality type, and walk in as a resource — not a vendor. • Your phone — not Instagram — is still the most valuable piece of real estate in your business. TRAINING BREAKDOWN 1. Welcome + Community Orientation We started by grounding everybody in where everything lives: the general discussion thread vs. the AI Sales Academy members-only space. I walked the group through how to find replays, how to register for coaching, and how to sign up for hot seats. This keeps everyone anchored so they don’t wander around the platform feeling lost or “behind.” The focus: clarity creates confidence, and confidence creates consistency. 2. Affiliate Strategy + Lifetime Value I showed where affiliate links live and explained the lifetime commission structure. Once someone joins through you, every future purchase is tied to your link. Members asked about using snippets of replay videos; I clarified they can be shared inside the community, not outside. The heart of this segment: share value, don’t spam — lead with transformation, not transaction.
