  

Doing what you know is different than knowing what you do The general perception of sales people are that they are: - Liars - Manipulative - Deceptive - Greasy - Slimy Sales is influence Leaders change companies and they influence If you can influence powerfully then you can do anything

How Do You Influence  Manipulation is over but adding value never goes out of style  The big game here is emotion  To persuade someone you must be persuaded  The Law Of Familiarity: If you are around something enough then you take it for granted  To influence we must move people emotionally Look At Ourselves First  We must master the state of ourselves instantly  Changing your body is the quickest way to change state - Movement - Develop an ongoing physical routine - Condition your body to get your blood flowing - Feed your mind with information  Become a master of influence by asking better questions  If you are not influencing someone ask them better questions  Questions Are Key  We experience our association to whatever we are stimulated by  If you want someone to think about their mother then talk about yours - We always go inside for a frame of reference  Once you know their needs and ask the right questions you can connect someone to any new experience in life that you want for them  Emotion is created by motion  Always go first as the leader

   

Human Needs 1) All human beings have a need for certainty & 2) uncertainty/variety - Change vs certainty  Things won’t be certain if you don’t do this – you may lose your business - Positive uncertainty  This is a new game we are in, a new way of doing things and never done before 3) People want significance - If you can link your stuff to significance then you can make billions - If it doesn’t work out then I’ll look stupid - Doing this is going to make us better than anything else 4) The fourth need is connection & love - If I get significance then I will be loved - It must go well or I won’t feel loved - We have to do this because they will connect us to your clients in a way that creates a lasting bond 5) Everyone has to grow - Growing makes us feel alive 6) The last is contribution - Contribute to something bigger than themselves  Instead of telling ask the question that brings them there  You have to know where you want to take them towards  Utilisation – whatever happens use it  You must lead with influence  You must ask for the action because they are convinced inside Asking Powerful Question  Sometimes it’s useful to recognise your background and what you are angry with today is something you desired a few years ago  Problem are really questions that have not been answered  Spend 5% on the problem and 95% of the solution  Some people keep a problem so they can solve it

   

STEPS TO PROBLEM-SOLVING  STEP 1: - Describe the problem/request. - Describe with precision in maximum 1-2 sentences the problem/request.



   

STEP 2: - Provide a solution. - What are 3 cost-effective, viable and intelligent solutions you believe could be implemented to solve this problem? - Which of the 3 is your favourite? - What resources of time, energy and money would be required to implement this?



STEP 3: - Respond. - (1) Accept; - (2) modify or reject, with reasons why - (3) provide new alternative solutions.



Make sure your question has just one chunk in it - Too big of a chunk or too many chunks can be too much

Problem-Solving Questions 1) What can I learn from this?  If there was something in this situation what would it be?  Write it down 2) What's great about this problem? 3) What is not perfect yet? 4) What am I willing to do to make it the way I want it?  If you think about what you want your life like, what are you prepared to do to make it happen? 5) What am I not willing to do to make it the way I want it?  To become defeated and live in fear and stress 6) How can I enjoy the process?  Instead of telling people these things, ask them of yourself and staff and they will answer them themselves

     

Morning Questions  Whatever you focus will make you feel 1) What am I happy about in my life right now? - What about that makes me happy? - How does that make me feel? 2) What am I excited about in my life right now? - What about that makes me excited? - How does that make me feel? 3) What am I proud of in my life right now? - What about that makes me proud? - How does that make me feel? 4) What am I grateful for in my life right now? - What about that makes me grateful? - How does that make me feel? 5) What am I enjoying in my life right now? - What about that do I enjoy? - How does that make me feel? 6) What am I committed to in my life right now? - What about that makes me committed? - How does that make me feel? 7) Whom do I love?   - Who loves me?   - What about them makes me loving?   - How does that make me feel?   

   

How To Influence Others  Step 1: Identification - Connection phase - They must say “me too” - Think what is unique about them and their motivations and needs - Start with a mutual screw up or problem - Think about why they are there - It’s all about Bonding - This guy is just like me - Share their pain



   

Step 2: Logic & Reason - This is the justification phase - Facts & figures

   



Step 3: Attack & Confess - Bring up the objection first and admit you were guilty before - Attack yourself – it’s incredibly stupid and I point at myself - You don’t blame them - Money has never been an objection for something you are committed to - “Everybody knows that their time is valuable, and they need to get better with their time but when you try to train them they say I don’t have time, how stupid is that, I have done this myself!” - It’s also stating all the repercussions of not doing it



Step 4: Solution - If you make this happen heaven will happen - The most valuable thing you have is time, can you really put this off anymore? - Do just one step a day and he was in a great place just 12 weeks later



Step 5: Ask for the action - Assume the sale - Are you in or not



These must be done in order

The Order 1) Rapport 2) Logic 3) Pain & Pleasure 4) Close

 

What should I do - It ends up bringing up something that is pressing with us like a problem What do I need to do - Is a much better question Focus causes emotion, whatever we feel we move towards or away - Where focus goes energy flows - Ask better questions What do I want? What result am I after?

RESULT = THE TARGET  What goal/outcome are you specifically committed to achieving? - Write these instead of activities  What do you really want? What's the result you want?  Write out your full name and time how long it took  Write every other letter – eventually it will take a third of the time  Once you start thinking of outcomes you want  Ritualise it  Be as clear and as specific as possible  Focus on results not activities

PURPOSE = THE DRIVE  Why are you committed to achieving this result or goal?  Why do you want it? What is your purpose?  Do you have enough emotional juice?

MASSIVE ACTION PLAN (MAP) = THE NECESSARY ACTIVITIES  What specific actions will you take to achieve your desired result, outcome or goal?  Why do you want it? What is your purpose?  How do I do it?

   

The 7 Principles of Power 1) Language - Words shape our experience and affect people - How you describe things affects your emotions - How do I habitually use language - Language is used to describe your meaning which affects how you feel - Nutritious vs delicious - Language is the genesis of genius - Language dictates passion - What words make an emotional impact on you? - $500 words vs $0.50 words
