He told me, “New clients is all about building relationships.”
I nodded.
And then he said, “That is why I’m using automated chatbots on my Facebook page.”
Head slap! Ugh! And he said it with a sincere smile.
I didn’t want to upset his delusions. I am sure in our next conversation he will be telling me about automated attraction marketing using autoresponders, and bonding over text.
Faking sincerity seldom works. People can sense if we are transactional, or if we really care. They know when we have good intentions.

As you know the general public doesn't want to invest at the moment.
The markets are down.
The banks offer 4% guaranteed returns.
Clients have lost money in the past 2 years.
You and I know that the best time to invest is when the markets are down ... but our prospects don't know or believe this.
How are your Advisors going to cope? Will they let objections defeat them? Will they slow down on getting new business? Or ... will they sharpen their objection skills, and learn how to convert objections into buying opportunities?
It's time for the...

If sending a text worked, our company would have done it already. They wouldn't need us.
Once we stop looking for lazy secrets to success, we will think, "Hey, what can I do better? What can I do that the company can't do? Why does the company need me?"
And the answer is ...
To have a conversation with a "live" human being. To have a relationship with someone instead of bombarding everyone with a faceless, heartless text.
You and I are awesome at this. Let's use our power to do this. Our company can't do it. We can.
Here...

Worth over $75Billion and considered to be one of the world's most successful investors, Warren Buffet was asked what his advice is for being successful in 2022.
His answer was to say that Xmas cards should not just be for Xmas but should be for the whole year.
You see, Buffet writes a letter or a handwritten note most days which typically includes a line of gratitude, or a few words of praise.
Buffet says that whether its business or pleasure, ultimately everything is personal.
And it's the businesses and people who endear themselves to others, that...

Yes.
A good brain rule to know is that prospects want fewer choices. Two choices are enough. Prospects want to save their brainpower for Netflix or Sky TV.
Try getting the final choice down to just two options.
A good example?
Choice #1: Keep your life the same.
Choice #2: Take what I just offered you.
Possible word pattern with 2 choices
So what makes more sense for you?
Choice #1: Keep your life the same.
Choice #2: Take what I just offered you.
Then Pause – silence- then wait for the prospects answer and say “I think you are...

Q. "Do you find growing old really hurts? Would it be okay if we did something to stop it?"
The first sentence identifies the problem.
The second sentence asks our prospects if they want to fix the problem or not.
If our prospects want to fix their problem, they have made a decision to buy. It is just that quick.
But, but, but … what should I say next? Won't they have more questions? Don't they need to know more?
Take a deep breath. Relax. If our prospects want to buy, and have made the decision to buy, they are on our side. Now...

I recently started coaching a successful Professional soon after her success of being promoted at work.
"Every morning I woke up I was weighed down by emails, text messages and voice mails with the word "urgent" in. Good morning had become good mourning for me.
I realized that I was spending less and less time doing what made me feel good.
So, each morning, I now make sure that my diary is full of stuff that makes me feel good. This usually involves talking to people that make me laugh and creating stuff that makes people feel fulfilled.
I now...

Well, you know how some of our clients sit on the fence and they continually want to think it over?
These 2 words will really be helpful – “Comfortable” and “uncomfortable”
So…
Stage 1 – is to make our client feel comfortable that they have not made a decision
Stage 2 – is to disarm them of their objections
Stage 3 – is to make them aware of our concern
Stage 4 – is to make them aware of their problem
Stage 5 – if you use the following sentence below, everyone feels better. This is only...

We listen and build rapport. Our prospects tell us their deepest problems. Since our business is solving problems for our prospects, what should we say next?
We can direct our prospects to a quick decision by saying these words:
“Think carefully. Is this something that you want to fix now so it is never a problem again? Or is this something that you are okay with living with? I am okay with whatever you decide.”
Are we afraid of rejection? Why?
We worry about what others think. That is natural.
Here is what we are thinking:
“Me,...

Instead of saying "presentation" to prospects, maybe we could substitute the word "option."
"Option" means that prospects can take our suggestion or not. Much less scary for prospects to hear the word "option" when we approach them.
Why do people do this to us?
We show prospects our products, services, and opportunity. And what do they do?
Resist. Poke holes in our offering. Look for reasons to turn us down.
Sound normal? Well, it is normal.
Humans want freedom of choice. When we push our offerings on them, they...
