And I just think 29 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: if everyone had better sales skills. As I said earlier, 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: whether you work in sales or you don't, I feel 31 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 2: like our whole life is sales. We're constantly pitching, we're 32 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 2: constantly presenting, we're constantly trying to communicate our ideas to people. 33 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: All of those things are sales, right, So I want 34 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: to hear in your words, whether someone's in sales or not, 35 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 2: why is it important to have sales skills? 36 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: So everybody thinks that sales is a job when it's 37 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: a skill set, And yeah, you can monetize that skill 38 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: set very well, but sales is a way to have 39 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: better relationships, better friendships, the way that you talk to 40 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: yourself in your own mind, like you can roll your 41 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: own objections that tell you I'm not good enough, I 42 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: don't deserve this, to make you really believe that you 43 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: do deserve a better life in every single aspect. So 44 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: sales to me is freedom because I fullheartedly believe that 45 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: if you teach anybody, and specifically a woman, sales shall 46 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: never go broke again. For the rest of your life. 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: There's always something to sell your stuff other companies, and 48 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: not only just the money side, but also you know, 49 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: it changes your friendships, it changes your relationships, and every 50 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: facet of your life. It allows you to gain control 51 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: because you have to have If you want to be 52 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: good at sales, you have to develop a figure it 53 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: out mentality, like you just have to figure it out. 54 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: And your mentality is like if somebody tells me no, 55 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: that's fine. Everybody's gonna tell me no. I'm just gonna 56 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: go no no, no, no no until I get mys 57 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: And that kind of a mentality that sales has to 58 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: teach you, it will make you successful no matter what 59 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: you do. 60 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have a sales job, but the amount 61 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 2: of things is I constantly have to pitch, share, communicate. 62 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable just how every area of our life is 63 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: a sales job without any thinking about it. One thing 64 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: you just said really resonated with me. I've never heard 65 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: it put like that. You said that we even have 66 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: to sell ourselves in our own minds exactly to ourselves. 67 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: Talk to me a bit about that, because I've never 68 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: heard someone say. 69 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: That, right, So, rolling objections in sales is like the 70 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: scariest thing that everybody's like, oh my gosh, I have 71 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: to turn a no into a yes or a negative 72 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: into a positive. But when you roll other people's objections 73 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: and when you really fight for somebody to transform their life, 74 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: whether that's in your own business that you sell or 75 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: whether you're selling somebody else's offers, you learn how to 76 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: fight for other people and then you replicate it in 77 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: your own mind. So everybody goes through the same thoughts 78 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: of you know, this is too risky, or I should 79 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: stay safe, or I'm not good enough, or you know 80 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: these limiting beliefs. But you have to tell yourself, Okay, 81 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: i'm feeling that fear and feeling that kind of hesitation. 82 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: That's negative energy. I need to turn it into positive 83 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: energy in order to move forward. So you can roll 84 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: your own objections, which is like I'm not good enough. 85 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: And then it's like I totally hear you calming easing. 86 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: Can I challenge that belief? That's what I always say 87 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: to people. Whenever I roll objections, it's always I hear you. 88 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: But can I challenge that belief for a second? And 89 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: then you challenge that own belief with somebody else, but 90 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: also with yourself if you need it too. And it's 91 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: how you just reframe your brain into okay, in putting 92 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: something that's negative, but I'm going to feel that, I'm 93 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: going to roll that objection, reframe it and output something positive. 94 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I love that acknowledgment that the feeling's real 95 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 2: and the fear is there. But how do we challenge it? 96 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: And I think you're so right that most of us, 97 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: if our mind says something, we just believe it to 98 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 2: be true. 99 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: Exactly. 100 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: If your mind says you're not good enough, you're like, yeah, 101 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: I guess I'm not good enough exactly. Or your mind 102 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: says no, people like you don't get to places like that. 103 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: Your mind says, yeah, that's probably true. And we give 104 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: up to to me about what are the three sale 105 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: skills that we can use everywhere in our life to 106 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: get everything we want. 107 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: Knowing somebody's leverage, Okay, you can sell in sales, you 108 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: can sell the same thing ten different ways. Also, Okay, 109 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: for example, if I am selling a fitness program. Okay, 110 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to close. I'm a closer on a fitness offer. 111 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: I can sell to somebody who wants to lose weight, 112 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: I can sell to somebody who wants to gain weight. 113 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: I can sell to somebody who has some health problems 114 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: in an urgent need right now. And I can sell 115 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: to somebody for prevention for just overall health. So there's 116 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of different ways that you can sell things. 117 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: So if you try to sell the same thing the 118 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: same way to different types of people, you're only going 119 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: to get those specific people that the leverage was built. 120 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: So what your job is is to identify the specific leverage. 121 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: And by by leverage, I mean pain points. So different 122 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: people have different pain points and what's going to motivate 123 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: them in order to make a buying decision. So to 124 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: kind of like back up, you need to understand somebody's 125 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: leverage points and what they specifically want and what will 126 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: change their day to day life by making a decision. 127 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: And once you find leverage points, that's the problem. The 128 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: solution is whatever you're selling them or you know, whether 129 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: that be a promotion, whether that be you know, your boyfriend, 130 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: rolling objections, with him, whether that be literally anything the 131 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: world is problem in solution, and if you can build 132 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: enough value around people's pain points, there you go. 133 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 2: You can solve anythingscue. 134 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: So leverage and then building value. So if you can 135 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: provide value to people, you will never be broke again. 136 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: But you can also just unlock so many different relationships 137 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 1: because you can build value with people. So value looks 138 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: like you insert their pain points, which is what they 139 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: want solved, but then you not only provide them a 140 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: solution and just reading off what's included or you know 141 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: how you're solving it. I call it cell discizzle, not 142 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: the stake, because nobody cares about what you're selling. They 143 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: care about what it does for them on a day 144 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: to day basis. So that's the solution part. Then we 145 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: get into the third, which is I call it the 146 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: kiss method, but it's keeping it simple, stupid. Life will 147 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: get so much better for you if you understand that 148 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 1: people don't necessarily say no to you because they don't 149 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: want it, or they don't you know, want you around them, 150 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: or whatever. It's because you're not clear, you know. So 151 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: if you make your ask clear to where somebody knows 152 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: exactly when I hand over my credit card, or exactly 153 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: when I give this person this promotion, or exactly when 154 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: I give you this job, I know exactly what's going 155 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 1: to happen. You give them clarity. And then the fourth 156 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: thing is just ask. You never get anything done if 157 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: you don't ask for it. Like I created a career 158 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: off of being annoying. Literally, like selling people, you have 159 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: to be a little annoying. Growing a business, you have 160 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: to be a little annoying content you have to be 161 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: a little annoying. But those people that step out of 162 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: the box and just accept that being annoying or maybe 163 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: a little pushy or just a little out there delusional, 164 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: that is what's going to put you in their rooms 165 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: that you didn't really think you deserved. But the plot 166 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: twist is you do deserve it because you asked for it. 167 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me about the people, and I want to 168 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: speak to the skeptics, so the cynical people who are like, oh, well, 169 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: if I'm talking to people's pain points, then I'm manipulating them. 170 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 2: I'm taking advantage of them. What's the difference between ethical 171 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: sales and doing it properly and then taking advantage of 172 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: other people and manipulating them. How would you talk about 173 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: the difference for sure. 174 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: So everybody thinks that sales is manipulation, but it's actually 175 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: emotional leadership. So what I mean by that is when 176 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: you are selling somebody that's a qualified buyer, which means 177 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: they're somewhat interested in what you have to offer, they 178 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: are here talking to you because they have a problem 179 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: that they need solved. So it is your duty to 180 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: if they don't solve their problem. If they don't, you 181 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: didn't do your job. You didn't help them. So what 182 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: helps with this is actually selling something that you believe in. 183 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: And so if what you're selling is yourself, like on 184 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: a job interview or talking to a friend or your boyfriend, 185 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: you have to believe in your worth. That's a big thing. 186 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: But again, if you're selling something, you have to believe 187 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: in the worth of what you're selling because that comes 188 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: off in the conviction of your voice, and sales is 189 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: eighty percent the conviction of your voice and the energy 190 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: that you have when you're talking about your product. Like 191 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: I always say, people buy your eyes and the way 192 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: that you have passion coming through when you're talking about something. 193 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, it's only manipulation. 194 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: If you don't believe that you can actually help this person. 195 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: But when you really step into emotional leadership where you're 196 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: leading people through kind of a hard decision, you know, 197 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: do I buy something, do I not? Do I change 198 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: my life? Do I get a new job? Do I 199 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: join this fitness program or whatever. You are helping people 200 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: make a better decision for them in the long run, 201 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: and if you do it right, they'll be thinking you. 202 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: So's it's very fulfilling. 203 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. I'm thinking back from my first work experience 204 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: when I was like sixteen years old. My mom had 205 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: asked for a favor from a family friend of ours 206 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: to get me a job at this company at the 207 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: Business Design Center. This is an event space in England. 208 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 2: And I worked at a company where we'd be selling 209 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 2: event space to people for these big events. So there'd 210 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: be an event about bikes and we'd have to call 211 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: up all these bike companies and seldom stands. So there 212 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: was a car exhibition and we'd have to call up 213 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: all these car companies. I knew nothing about sales, and 214 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 2: I remember being trained to cold call like three hundred people. 215 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so what was your pitch? 216 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: I can't remember if I can't remember I fully because 217 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 2: I was sixteen years old. Yeah, and I'd be on 218 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 2: the phone and I remember just the amount of times 219 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: I'd be like, hey, I'm Jay Shelley calling from the 220 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: Business Design I think we were called Upper Street Events. 221 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: To be like, hey, I'm j Shelley calling from up 222 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: a Street events. The amount of people that just put 223 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 2: the phone down immediately, And it's what you just said 224 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 2: a few moments ago, where you just had to get 225 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: used to the fact. Now the Business Design Center was 226 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 2: this beautiful event space. I really believe that it was 227 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 2: a cool space to have events. It was one of 228 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: the few places that really like there were big fashion 229 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: shows that took place. There was a really cool space. 230 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 2: And it goes back to what you were saying that 231 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: it took me time to get comfortable with failure and rejection, 232 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 2: b get some conviction in my voice, and then finally 233 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 2: get to a point where it was like, you're going 234 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: to be exhibited at the number one exhibition center in 235 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 2: the UK, blah blah blah yah, et cetera. And you 236 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: learn from figuring out what's actually going to happen, and 237 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: you're so right that if you don't reset the product 238 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: you can't just read a scripture. And I think that's 239 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: where the energy goes wrong when you just are repeating 240 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 2: script but you don't believe in it. 241 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: Well, you said something interesting. It's like people will just 242 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: immediately put the phone down, just no, I'm not interested. Boom. 243 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: A lot of people think that in sales you have 244 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: to sell every single person and when you get to know, 245 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: that's an indicator that you're a bad sales rep. Right, 246 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: But in sales, you're talking to unqualified and qualified buyers. 247 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: So a lot of the times if you're talking to 248 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: someone that's unqualified, that you shouldn't sweat it your job. 249 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: If you are cold calling or door knocking or doing 250 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: any sort of cold approach. Is just the way that 251 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: I like to explain it is you're almost sifting through 252 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: the unqualified buyers and you're more qualifying if they are 253 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: worth your time. They're like, okay, you slam the door 254 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: in my face, no problem, I'm one step closer to 255 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: getting somebody that will listen to me or you you know, 256 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: hung up the phone super quick. Awesome, Thank you for 257 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: not wasting my time, because it would have drained my 258 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: energy on somebody that I actually can help so in 259 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: life in general too, you will learn that not every 260 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: single person is worth your time. And there's a difference 261 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: between somebody that does and doesn't. It's unqualified buyers and 262 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: qualified buyers. So there comes a point in life where 263 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: you just get some sort of confidence because you know 264 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: that life is a numbers game. 265 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and absolutely, And I think the point, going back 266 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 2: to my manyeation point, is that if someone doesn't want it, 267 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 2: you're not trying to convince the person already put the 268 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 2: phone down on you for sure, to pick the phone 269 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: back up to convince them because you want to get 270 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: a good target. You're accepting the fact that this isn't 271 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: the right person. They obviously don't need this or want this. 272 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 2: And that's okay. Talk to me about what people you're 273 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: in your twenties. What should people in their twenties be 274 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 2: doing to have a great financial future? 275 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, okay, couple things. One move out. You 276 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: cannot change yourself if you are still tied to the 277 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: perceptions that everybody else has around you, Like the people 278 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: that you grew up with, they see you as your 279 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: old version of yourself. So if you truly want like 280 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: exponential quantum leap change of yourself. You need to almost 281 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: kind of have a clean slate and not feel bad about, 282 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: you know, presenting yourself a little differently or trying new 283 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: things out. So I think you know, old friends, old 284 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: family members even not that they're the problem, but it 285 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: just makes it a lot easier when you do change 286 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: your physical surroundings to also change yourself internally. I would 287 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: also recommend when you do move, buy the most expensive 288 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: gym membership, sit in the sauna and talk to everybody. 289 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: One connection can literally change your life. And the amount 290 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: of people that I've met just from talking to people 291 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: in the elevator, you know, sitting in the sauna and 292 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: just being open, not having a frown on your face 293 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: all day and being a little bit approachable. It will 294 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: change your life. And again it's a numbers game. You 295 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: might have some weird ohs, you might have some randos, 296 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: but that very few people that you do interact in 297 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: a conversation with, you know, keep them in your back pocket. 298 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: Because your network is your net worth. Obviously, I would 299 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: say use your credit card like your debit card. I've 300 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: been a big you know proponent of that invests every 301 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: twenty cents to the dollar is a good one. I 302 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: wish I knew that a long time ago, because I 303 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: was always just spend, spend, spend, But I would literally 304 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: shake myself and be like, and just throw it into 305 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: the market, it doesn't matter, put it all in bitcoin, whatever. 306 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: And then I would say, learn a high income skill 307 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: because you need to provide value in the marketplace if 308 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: you want to get paid for it. So mine was 309 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: obviously sales, but there's copywriting, tech, AI, content creation, whatever 310 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: your skill is. Just hone in on it and be 311 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: the best of the best, and try to provide other 312 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: people value because if you become an irreplaceable asset, you'll 313 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: never be replaced, you know. And then the last thing, 314 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: do the complete opposite of what everybody else around you 315 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: is doing. If you look left and right and everybody's 316 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: doing the same thing, do the opposite. If you want 317 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: to have a different result, you need to do different 318 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: things in order to have a different result. And then 319 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: also be the best at whatever you're doing. So whether 320 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: you are working as a barista, whether you're a server, 321 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: whether you're a teacher, be the best. Like, take pride 322 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: in your job, because that's something that nobody can take 323 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: away from you. And a lot of that effort and 324 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: skill set that you're getting right now is going to 325 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: translate to what you actually want to do in the future. 326 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: You just might not see it right now. 327 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 2: That is a great list. Yeah, I love that list. 328 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: I just like I remember, like working at a coffee shop. 329 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: I was barista. It was one of my first jobs, 330 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: and I was the best barista ever. Like I was 331 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: picking up every extra shift. I was door dashing on 332 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: the side, like I loved making money, and I knew 333 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't my forever job because I would look left 334 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: and right and everybody was just showing up doing the 335 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: bare minimum. Yeah, but I mean maybe they were smarter 336 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: because we were getting paid the same amount. But I 337 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: think that sort of mentality where it's like, you know, 338 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: you're a star. You know the job that you're in 339 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: right now might just be a stepping stone. It's okay, though, 340 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: because the skill sets and the work ethic that you 341 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: have right now are going to pay you dividends throughout 342 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: your whole life. So maybe you're getting paid the same 343 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: amount as someone that's just showing up right now, but 344 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: it's the worst ethic that can never be taken away. 345 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're reminding me of I don't know if you've 346 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: ever seen this TikToker called Markel Washington. So he used 347 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: to work in subway and he would sing to the 348 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 2: customers as he would make their subway sound rich, and 349 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 2: people loved it. Yeah, and that's how he got discovered. 350 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: Someone filmed him, put it up on TikTok, got millions 351 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: of views, and now he has all these followers. Now 352 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 2: he's left subway with You know, it's I couldn't agree 353 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 2: with you more. I always think if you can find 354 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 2: a way to even make the job you hate attractive 355 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 2: fun and be passionate about it, Actually, it's just a 356 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: great skill in life, and it transforms everything. You talked 357 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 2: about building high income skills, high value skills, which I 358 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 2: wish was talked about in college. I wish it was 359 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: talked about earlier in school. I feel like it's completely 360 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 2: missed because you kind of get taught, or at least 361 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: I didn't a generalist. It was like kind of be 362 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 2: good at this, be good at this, kind of be 363 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: good at that. No one ever tells you, like, hey, 364 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: pick something and become incredible at it, and pick something 365 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 2: that the world's actually going to value. How do you 366 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: now that we eve left school, we're post college. How 367 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 2: do you actually build a high income or high value skill. 368 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 2: What does the process look like? 369 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: Well, there's so much free content on social media. Like 370 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: we literally live in an age where you know, there's 371 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: multiple YouTube videos. I literally just filmed a six hour 372 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: YouTube video going over every single part of the sales process. Like, 373 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: if you want to learn, we now live in an 374 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: age where you can learn. You just have to do 375 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: the thing that nobody's willing to do, which is sit 376 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: down and learn and take notes and practice with yourself, 377 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: reach out to companies, you know, get some experience, and 378 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: climb the ladder. Just like that. But so I would say, 379 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: learn from social media completely free. So many mentors right 380 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: now will teach you anything. And then step number two 381 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: is practice. And so when it comes to practicing, obviously 382 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: we all have a dream job in our head. You know, 383 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: I would love to sell for this person, I would 384 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: love to be on this person's sales team. But in 385 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: the very beginning, you might need some data, you might 386 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: need some experience. So I would challenge people to, yeah, 387 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: keep that dream job in your head, but more so, 388 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: like build your data, build your experience. Right now with 389 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: amazing lead quality with you know, just a good system. 390 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: That way you can have something in your back pocket 391 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: when you do go to pitch yourself for that dream job. 392 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I can agree with you more. I feel 393 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 2: like there's so much free content out there, but it's 394 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 2: so hard because I think we look at like thirty 395 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: seconds of a real for sure, and a lot of 396 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 2: this is sitting down for a few hours. Like I 397 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 2: remember when I was first learning social media, I was 398 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: spending three hours every Saturday and Sunday morning just studying, 399 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: like for hours and hours and hours for weeks on end, 400 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 2: three hours six hours a week on top of my 401 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: day job. And I feel like if I hadn't done that, 402 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: for sure, I would have understood social media the way 403 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 2: I did. And eventually it became every day after work 404 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 2: and I had a full time job at the time. 405 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 2: It became five hours a day after work, sometimes up 406 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: until two three just trying to learn and study only 407 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 2: need to go back to work next day. I think 408 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 2: there's so much truth to that, and it is all 409 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 2: out there. What do you find is the biggest difference 410 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 2: between people who have sales skills and people who. 411 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: Don't mindset it's your ability to give context to a 412 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: negative in order to turn it into a positive in 413 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: your own brain. What do I mean by that? So 414 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: in sales, salespeople develop this skill set that makes them great, 415 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: which is somebody slams the door in your face or 416 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 1: hangs up on you, and you kind of tell yourself, 417 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: You're like, maybe she just got pulled over this morning 418 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: and she's in a bad mood. Maybe he just got 419 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: served divorce papers. Anyways, not my problem. I'm going to 420 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: the next person. Even though that stuff probably isn't true. 421 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: You're almost I call it being a psycho because you 422 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: literally have to be some sort of level of psychotic 423 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: in order to feed yourself a little bit of lies 424 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: to give context around rejection. That way, you can take 425 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: it a little bit easier because it's like they're not 426 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: rejecting you, rejecting you know the time or what you're 427 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: actually selling. But it's your ability to really just play 428 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: mind games with yourself of saying, hey, maybe they just 429 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: had a bad day. Anyways, I'm moving on to the 430 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: next person, because there is someone who wants to talk 431 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: to me. Even though the last ten people might have 432 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: told you no, you still have to walk into every 433 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: conversation expecting that yes. So that level of skill set 434 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: that you get from sales, it trickles into everything, into dating, 435 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: into like friendships, into the way that you talk to yourself. 436 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: Being able to handle rejection will get you anything in life. 437 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: What's fascinating to me is how you need it to 438 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: get promoted. For sure, you need it to convince, like 439 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: you said, potentially even a partner to know whether they're 440 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 2: committing or not committing. You need it, of course if 441 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 2: you run a sales job. Let's walk through the sales 442 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 2: process for people like Shelby, I need this advice. I 443 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: need everything you're selling right now. Yeah, for because I 444 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: need to transform my life. What's the first step? 445 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: So sales as a skill set, if you want to learn, 446 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: like sixty second sales masterclass right now here it is. 447 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: So the first thing that you need to do is 448 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: to establish frame and ease tension, because anytime you walk 449 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: up to a person, their sales resistance is high. They're like, 450 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: who are you? Why are you here? Why are you 451 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: calling me? I feel a little weird. So a quick 452 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: little compliment goes a long way. But also just getting 453 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: straight to the point, people try building so much fake 454 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: rapport and trying to be a friend at first, when 455 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: it just comes off a little fake because they know 456 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: why you're here. You're trying to sell them so quick, 457 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: little compliment, something super easy, and then just getting straight 458 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: to the point, Hey, I'm busy, I want to be, 459 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: you know, very tentative of your time as well. Is 460 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: it cool if we just kind of jump right in 461 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: start the sales process easy? Then we get into question 462 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: based selling. So everybody thinks that you just start selling. Yeah, 463 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: you don't even know what you're going into yet. So 464 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: question based selling is, you know, figuring out what somebody's 465 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: leverage is, figuring out those pain points, so like what 466 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: made you book a call? What are you going through? 467 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: Take me through your day? What made you want to 468 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: figure something out? Then you will gather a little bit 469 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: of data I call it gathering AMMO, that you're going 470 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: to kind of put in your back pocket in order 471 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: to sell them later. So once you get these pain 472 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: points from this person that's your problem, then you go 473 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: into the solution, which is obviously what you are selling. 474 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 1: And it's there you have to be very careful because 475 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: what you are selling is different to every sort of person. 476 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: So you take these specific leverage points, and you plug 477 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: and play with specific solutions that only solve these leverage points, 478 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: nothing else. Keep it super simple, and then you pitch 479 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: the price very simple. And when you pitch price, when 480 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: you initially close someone, it's all about your energy. If 481 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: you are almost anticipating an objection or anticipating a no, 482 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: it's going to come off in your energy. Someone's going 483 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: to give you an objection or telling you no. You know, 484 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: the metaphor of the star Bucks cashier. So when you 485 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: go up to Starbucks and you're ordering your like medium 486 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: vanilla ice latte or I guess grande vanilla I S latte. 487 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: You go up to the window, what does the cashier 488 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: rep do? He holds the Apple pay thing in front 489 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: of you, and he's like, okay, awesome, it's gonna be 490 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: seven dollars. And he's like turning around doing something else, 491 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: no option, no like weird vibes. He's just like, here, 492 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: this is how much it is. Okay, awesome, And you're 493 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: almost like scrambling around for your credit card. You're like, oh, sorry, 494 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: I should have had that out here. 495 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: You go. 496 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: That's the energy that you need when you pitch price, 497 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: and when you close people is Hey, you have these problems, 498 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: here's a clear game plan, a clear solution, and here's 499 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: how much it's going to take in order to get 500 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: you there. Like it's very simple, it's problem solution. And 501 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: then I think what a lot of people forget to 502 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: do is to solidify the sale, you know, because a 503 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: lot of people will you know, process a credit card 504 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: and then just go straight to you know, filling out 505 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: paperwork or just acting like a robot, and they stop 506 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: actually connecting with this person. Meanwhile, a after you like 507 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: run somebody's credit card and after the initial close, and 508 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: they say, yes, now you need to even further connect 509 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: with people. So a little trick I have is you 510 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: can positively future pace someone, which is, I'm so excited 511 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: for you to get started. A lot of people like 512 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: to text me when they hit their first ten k months, 513 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: or when they lose their first four pounds, or whenever 514 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: you're selling, would you mind keeping me in the loop 515 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: for that transformation, Like I would love to be a 516 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: part of your journey. Now, somebody's like envisioning themselves not 517 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: only following through with the process achieving the transformation, but 518 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: also they see you as more of like an accountability 519 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: coach rather than just the frame of a sales rep. 520 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they actually motivates them too, for sure, because 521 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 2: they're like, oh, now that I've committed to this, I 522 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 2: could actually make that change. 523 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 524 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 2: And I've actually committed to the process that makes that happen. 525 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 2: What's fascinating is that we're constantly being sold to, but 526 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: we do sell. Oh my god, everything you buy has 527 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 2: been sold to you. And I feel like, whether it's 528 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 2: the clothes that you're wearing, the coffee you drink, the 529 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 2: coffee shop you go to, the laptop that you use, 530 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 2: the phone that you carry, Like, we're constantly being sold to, 531 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: but we find sales so scary. Does that right? Do 532 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 2: you know? 533 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: For sure? I mean, even the videos that you watch 534 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: on social media, somebody's selling you on why they're worth 535 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: your time. Out of every other content creator that you 536 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: could swipe to whenever you hit the follow button, somebody 537 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: sold you on why they should be on your for 538 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: U page every day. Like I went to the tanning 539 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: salon yesterday, the most menial thing ever, just a simple 540 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: tanning salon. He sold me on a two hundred dollars 541 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: tan package. And I don't even live here, but I 542 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: just loved his sales process, and I love supporting other 543 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: sales reps. Like when you learn sales, you just see 544 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: life in a completely different way, where when you get 545 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: sold to you almost appreciate it. 546 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 2: I agree that you respect it, but I love being 547 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 2: sold to me. I love being sold to like if 548 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 2: someone's because I also know when it's not working. Oh. 549 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 2: There are shops that I'll go into where I'm like 550 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: ready to buy right, but then the experience is not great, 551 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 2: and then I won't buy it. And then there are 552 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: other shops where I'm like, oh, I'm not sure if 553 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 2: i want to spending money today, and someone's really trying 554 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 2: to sell to me, and I'm like, oh, I love this. 555 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 2: Get really agreeable they do. I respect you. 556 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. Sales is all about, like you know, making someone 557 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: feel important and listen to. And that's why women are 558 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: so good at sales is because women all day, what 559 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: do we do. We call our friends, we talk to 560 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: our friends, We hype our friends up. That's literally sales. 561 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: Sales is hyping people up into you know, pushing them 562 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: into this higher version of themselves and making them really 563 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: believe that they can achieve a transformation. If they're given 564 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: the tools to do. So that's sales. That's what you're doing. 565 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: It's a whole new life when you learn how to sell. 566 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, what's the what's the best thing you've ever 567 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 2: been sold? 568 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: Hmm my pink ga wagon? 569 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: Okay, who sold it to you? How did that process? 570 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: So I was kind of a lay down for it. 571 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, but I saw videos on it. 572 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,719 Speaker 1: It was this girl car sales rep on social media. 573 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,239 Speaker 1: She's making videos of it. I get tagged in it 574 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: a ton of times. I click on it. I'm like, oh, 575 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: it's a cool car, butag, I don't really need a 576 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: new car right now. I'm driving in Arizona, which is 577 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: where I'm from. I look to my right and it's 578 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: in the freaking window, and I'm like, out of all 579 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: places this, there's only one car that existed in the 580 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: whole United States. I'm like, it's in Arizona, Like, what 581 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: are the Kansas? So I go in there and the 582 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: car sales rep she shouts Shelby. She's like, Shelfy, I've 583 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: been in so many of your massacresses. I love you. 584 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: I follow you on everything, like and I think that 585 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: initial connection and rapport. Uh. And then when she was 586 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: showing me the vehicle, obviously she let me test drive it, 587 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: but she was also you know, telling me like, you 588 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: could use this for content. This car is your name 589 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: written all over it. And then she sincere closed me, 590 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: which was turning the no away from the client to 591 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: the product, and she made me have to say no 592 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: to her, which I couldn't. So the sincere clothes is 593 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: just like, I know you're going to buy a car 594 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: at some point. I'm going to sell this to someone. 595 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: If it's not you, it's someone else, but I want 596 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: you to have it and I want to be the 597 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: one to help you get this dream car. 598 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 2: So are you still friends with that? 599 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, she's awesome. Yeah she's great. 600 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah, and it's and obviously you're happy 601 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 2: with your purchase, which makes it better. I think that's 602 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 2: I think that's the pies, Like when you're not happy 603 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 2: with the value that you received, you're like, oh wait 604 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 2: a minute, I was, And you know I've been. I've 605 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 2: been to some fancy carspots trying to sell you some 606 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 2: fancy cars, and they're not some of them. There's the 607 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,479 Speaker 2: technique that I read about talk to me about this 608 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: because I saw this on social media and I've experienced 609 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 2: it a few times. Okay, where the these fancy places 610 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 2: try and make you feel less than you buy. Yeah, 611 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 2: I don't like that because it feels uncomfortable. 612 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: Right, So it is a real phenomenon. So I call 613 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: it the Louis Vanhan sales technique. It's not specific to 614 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: Louis Vuitton, but it was just a name I picked on. 615 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, so they one they hire attractive sales reps 616 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: and two they train those attractive sales reps to be 617 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: a little bit dismissive to you when you're in the store. 618 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: And this is a true thing because as a client, 619 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: when you walk in and somebody's not all over you, Hey, 620 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: what are you in here for? What do you want? 621 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: Blah blah? Did you see this jacket? You almost feel 622 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: a little bit like you're trying to earn a sales 623 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: reps time because you want to prove that you belong 624 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,959 Speaker 1: in the store. And so what are they doing? Well, 625 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: it's actually pretty smart, even though I would say that's 626 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: slightly manipulative, But what they're doing it's smart as they 627 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: know their brand has weight and so they know kind 628 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: of the feeling that they have with the brand and 629 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: that they are so, you know, up there and sophisticated. 630 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: So they make you you assign yourself to feel like 631 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: you deserve to be with the brand. How do they 632 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: do that by buying a bag? So you almost feel like, 633 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, when a sales rep does come up to you, oh, 634 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm I promise you I have money, like I am 635 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: a buyer, and then makes you want to buy more things. 636 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's sad that we fool for that, right, 637 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 2: I think I'm not sure would you say that people 638 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 2: will actually spend more mindfully if they understood sales. 639 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: So when you learn sales, you understand the sales reps perspective, 640 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: so you're a little bit more cognizant of the techniques 641 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: that they're using. And so if it's something you actually 642 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: want and the sales rep's amazing, makes you want to 643 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: buy more stuff because you're like, Okay, I respect the game, 644 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: I appreciate it, and I do want this, let's do it. 645 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: But when it's something that you don't really want, or 646 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: maybe it's something you do want, but a sales rep 647 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: is being rude to you or trying to make you 648 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: feel less than you understand the tactics and the way 649 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: that they're approaching the sale, and you're like, why would 650 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: you do that? You know, I wanted this, I am 651 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: a buyer, but the way that you're being dismissive or 652 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: the way that you're just trying too hard turns me off. 653 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: And so sales is all about like push and pull, 654 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: and so a buyer's brain will literally turn off when 655 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: you try to sell too hard or when you try 656 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: to use these cringey, pushy, aggressive tactics, because in their 657 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: brain it's like, if you have to try so hard, 658 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: obviously what I'm getting sold is not that valuable because 659 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: why would you have to try so hard? So, in fact, 660 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: the pull method actually works a little bit better, which 661 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: is when sales reps kind of take a step back 662 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: and they're like, well, I mean, I don't know if 663 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: you need this right now, Like, tell me about what 664 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: you're going through and we can kind of figure it 665 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: out together. 666 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 2: Where do you think confidence comes from? You're so confident 667 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 2: you talk about this idea of being able to turn 668 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: it on, like you know, just yeah, switch on. How 669 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 2: do people access that? Because I think so many people 670 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,719 Speaker 2: today feel like a smaller version of themselves. We shrink, 671 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 2: we get shy, we get scared. Like you said, just 672 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 2: before you're about to say the amount, you kind of 673 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 2: hesitate because you're scared about it, and it's not You 674 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 2: do believe in the product, you do care about what 675 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 2: you're doing, but you also kind of care about the 676 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 2: other person. Where does that confidence come from? 677 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: Everybody thinks that you have confidence, and then you do 678 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: big things when it's flip flopped, you do big things, 679 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: you put yourself out there, you're scared, and then you 680 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: build confidence. Like I know, I look like this girl 681 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: that's super confident all these things whatever. But when I 682 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: first started, that was literally so opposite from the case. 683 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: Like I had so much anxiety. I could not talk 684 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: to people or someone would ask me, you know, how's 685 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: your day going, and I would stutter and think about 686 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: it for the next like five to seven business days. 687 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: Like I literally hated it. I was just insecure and 688 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: I didn't do enough big things in order to have 689 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: something to be confident about. So someone told me, you know, 690 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: sales will make you confident. I got into sales. I 691 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: got literally doors slammed in my face, cops called on me, 692 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: The neighborhood Watch like name it, but going through experiences 693 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: like that and going through what I call the suck 694 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: and coming out on the other side, you know, with 695 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: monetary things to show, but also confidence that kind of 696 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: data points, those kinds of data points that you have 697 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: where you can say, I deserve to be confident because 698 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: I did this, this, and this. I deserve to be 699 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: confident because I got told no ten times in a 700 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: row and the eleventh said yes. Now I'm more confident 701 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: that every other person I talk to. If they say no, 702 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: that's fine, I'm gonna go get somebody else to say yes. 703 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 2: Yeah. It's doing hard things for sure, Yeah, absolutely do. 704 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 2: I could agree more. Everyone always thinks you somehow feel 705 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 2: confident in your mind and then you take action, and 706 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 2: it's completely the opposite way around your spot on. It's 707 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 2: take action, do uncomfortable things, do hard things, do big things, 708 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 2: do scary things, and then all of a sudden confidence 709 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 2: comes to you. Right, and because you have evidence, you 710 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 2: have proof exactly right, you have a list of things 711 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: that like, hey, I did all these things, and it's 712 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 2: not the external achievement, it's the fact that you put 713 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 2: yourself in that position, whether was getting rejected ten times, 714 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 2: moving out your house, going out there and taking on 715 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 2: a job you never did, being out of your confident zone. 716 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 2: Like all of that builds confidence. And but you know 717 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 2: when someone's sitting there and going like, Shelby, I want 718 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 2: to be better at sales. I get you, but like 719 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 2: I just don't how to start. What would you say 720 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 2: to that person who says I don't know how to stop? 721 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: I would say, you don't have to. You don't have 722 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: to know how to start. You just have to do it. 723 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: And by doing, I mean you need to learn everything 724 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: that you possibly can. And again, good for you. It's 725 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: all on social media, it's right on your phone. But 726 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: then number two is start and know that you're gonna suck. 727 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: Like half of confidence is knowing that it's going to 728 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: suck in the beginning, and you need to know that 729 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: you are going to get rejected, you're gonna mess up. 730 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: But plot twist is if you do that enough time 731 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: and if you get enough reps, and that's how you 732 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: build true confidence. So it's not the whole fake it 733 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: till you make it, but I mean kind of it's 734 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: like you have to believe you are the best, and 735 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: then that's enough data. Like you kind of just said, 736 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,959 Speaker 1: you can truly, truly know that you are the best 737 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: when you can look back at your experience. 738 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, we found some questions on social media that we 739 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 2: think would be good. So I want to hear your 740 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 2: take on this. What something people struggling with money think 741 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 2: is smart that actually keeps them. 742 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: Broke spending money on networking events? I should be pro networking, right, No, 743 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: So I have a very kind of controversial but specific 744 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: take on networking. So I think you know majority of 745 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: people that show up to random networking events. I'm talking 746 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: the ones that are just random cocktail hours, random people 747 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: in your city. A lot of the people that show 748 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: up to those networking events are looking for people external 749 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: to cling onto because they don't have anything to offer. 750 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: So I want you instead of to focus all of 751 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,479 Speaker 1: your energy on networking because I used to be the same. 752 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: What rooms can I get into? Who can help me 753 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: with this? Like, look into yourself first, build up your 754 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 1: skill set, first, figure out a way to provide real 755 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: value to other people, and become someone that other people 756 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: want to network with. Like I was always the girl 757 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: dying to be in group chats with people like you 758 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: or people like my business partners, or people like you 759 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 1: know that I am currently in group chats with right now. 760 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: I was dying to be in those. But you need 761 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: to figure out a way to be someone that other 762 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: people are dying to be in a group chat with. 763 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 1: So instead of focusing too much on putting your energy 764 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 1: out into how do I figure out these other people, 765 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: put that energy into yourself. And when you truly have 766 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,439 Speaker 1: you know something going for you, or you truly solve 767 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: people's problems, the right people will reach out to you. 768 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: Because people that are worth networking for don't spend every 769 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,720 Speaker 1: day at different cocktail hours just trying to help people 770 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: for fun. It's just not reality. But that's different from 771 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: specified networking, which is if you have a purpose of 772 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: going to it. You know, if you're a real estate 773 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,919 Speaker 1: professional and you're going to a real estate event, if 774 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: you are a closer and you're going to a closer event, amazing, 775 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: A life coach going to a life coach event amazing. 776 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: But I think the general networking cocktail hours are just 777 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: a waste of time, money, and energy that you should 778 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 1: be putting into yourself. 779 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 2: Yeah. I love the idea that your reputation precedes you 780 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 2: in this sense of and I think people often get 781 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 2: confused that you have to have some big brand for that. 782 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 2: My friend started his content creator a journey. More recently 783 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 2: he has like six thousand followers, but the video content 784 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 2: he's creating is so high quality that people are introducing 785 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 2: him to people because his level of research, his communication skills. 786 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 2: It's only a matter of time before he gets to 787 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand followers and million and whatever else it 788 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 2: may be. But right now, I think people often think, oh, yeah, 789 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 2: but Shelby, I've got to have like a million follows 790 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,280 Speaker 2: for someone to notice. Not It's like, no, you could 791 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 2: have five thousand followers, maybe ten thousand. But because of 792 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 2: the content you're creating and the way you're communicating, people 793 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 2: will looking and be like, Oh, you're the stylist that 794 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 2: comes front of mind. You're the that comes front of mind. 795 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 2: You are the coast salesperson who comes front of mind. 796 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 2: You don't have to have millions of followers for someone 797 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 2: to notice you. And I think that's a really important 798 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 2: part as well. 799 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: And I think a big thing too. You need to 800 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: be what we call the pattern interrupt. So in sales, 801 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: a pattern interrupt means someone that breaks the pattern because 802 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of salespeople sound the same. They sound 803 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: like robots. So if you want a different result than 804 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: every other salesperson that gets denied, you need to do 805 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: something different. So aka break the pattern of the cringy 806 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: sales rep pitches that people here. But in life, you 807 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: need to break the pattern. You need to be different 808 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: and do different things than everybody else in order to 809 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 1: stand out. Like your friend who made you know, the 810 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 1: most high quality videos, he was probably a lot different 811 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: than everybody else who's just putting mass amount of videos 812 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: out there to where somebody recognized that. 813 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, he's really thought about it. It's very specific, 814 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 2: and so people in that specific niche are paying attention 815 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 2: to even though he's not got because he's an expert 816 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 2: exactly exactly. He's actually good at what he's doing. It's 817 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 2: absolutely Okay, what's the biggest this is another one. Okay, 818 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 2: what's the biggest mindset difference between someone making fifty thousand 819 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 2: dollars and someone making five hundred thousand dollars. 820 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: A year or a month. 821 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 2: That's a Shelby question, let's start with it. 822 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say exactly that. I would say the 823 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars a month person thinks that they're on 824 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: top of the world and that you know, that's all 825 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: there is to life. And I think the five hundred 826 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month person knows that you're uncapped. There 827 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: is no cap on what you can do in this world. None. 828 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest thing that sales teaches 829 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,919 Speaker 1: you is you eat what you kill. There's no floor, right, 830 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: But that's also so freeing because there's no ceiling. Genuinely, 831 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: if you want to make more money, you just talk 832 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,959 Speaker 1: to more people and close more deals. Like that should 833 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: excite you, That should be like, oh my gosh, there's 834 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,839 Speaker 1: all of this money to make in the world, and 835 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: there's proof of so many people making so much money. 836 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: Why not me? That was my biggest thing. I always 837 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: like heard of these people on social media making so 838 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: much money, and I'm like, you, like, if you can 839 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: do it, I can do it. And I think that 840 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: blind level of optimism is what somebody making five hundred 841 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year or a month has because they 842 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: stepped outside of the scope and the realm of reality 843 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 1: and they truly just said I'm not playing by everybody 844 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,359 Speaker 1: else's rules. I'm doing my own thing. Or I'm doing 845 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: my own thing on the side, or I'm going to 846 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: pull myself out of this because I know that I 847 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 1: can do it. So, for example, if you're talking in 848 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: years perspective, I think the fifty thousand dollars a year 849 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: type of person just sees money as a side thing 850 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 1: or they see you know, they're not the business they're 851 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: working for someone, versus the five hundred thousand dollars a 852 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 1: year person. They know that they are the business and 853 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: they know that whatever they do in this life, it 854 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: will turn to gold because they are good. So that's 855 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 1: why you need high income skills in order to be 856 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,280 Speaker 1: that person that you can't step into anything and produce. 857 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the truth is that high income 858 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 2: skill matters even when you're an employee because if you 859 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 2: have a high income skill, that person never wants to 860 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 2: lose you, and therefore they're going to keep investing in 861 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 2: you and keep giving you promotions and raises because they 862 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 2: know they can't live without. So even if you're not 863 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 2: an entrepreneur, if you're a part of someone's team and 864 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 2: you have a high income skill and you add lots 865 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 2: of value to that place, people are never ever going 866 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 2: to take a risk. I mean, you're an employer. I'm 867 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 2: an employer. It's like, I don't want to lose that 868 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 2: best people like I would never take that risk. 869 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: Replacing people sucks. 870 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,840 Speaker 2: It's so hard. Yeah, when you find someone who's really amazing, 871 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 2: what they want to or into them exactly. Yeah, you 872 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 2: want to invest in them, you want them to grow 873 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 2: with you. You're excited about it, just as you are 874 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 2: in love in one sense where it's like, yeah, I 875 00:42:58,640 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 2: want to see what we could. 876 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: Achieve to exactly. But I think that goes back to 877 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: like the person who's making fifty thousand dollars a year 878 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: and is completely fine with that. They just see it 879 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,760 Speaker 1: as a job and they won't go above and beyond. 880 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,439 Speaker 1: Versus the person that maybe their paycheck doesn't reflect five 881 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year, but they believe that they 882 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: are in a five hundred thousand dollars a year opportunity 883 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 1: if they act like it. And so when you go 884 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,720 Speaker 1: above and beyond, people notice that. So every single ounce 885 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: of hard work that you put into yourself right now, 886 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: maybe it might not benefit you now, but it will 887 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: benefit you dividends in the future. It's just you have 888 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: to put it in in order to get it out. 889 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 2: Absolutely great answers. All Right, if someone wants to go 890 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 2: from making one hundred K to three hundred K in 891 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 2: one year. 892 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: What specified the year? 893 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the thirty sixty ninety day plan. 894 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: From one hundred K to three hundred k? 895 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, in one year? 896 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: Are they working for someone or working for themselves? 897 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 2: Let's do both examples. So let's do someone who's working 898 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 2: for someone, and then let's do somebody's working for. 899 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,240 Speaker 1: Themselves, someone who's working for someone. So I would say 900 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 1: that you need to job hop. You're never gonna have, 901 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, a two hundred thousand dollars raise in two 902 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: in three years. Like, it's just not going to happen. 903 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 1: So the way that you would do it is you 904 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 1: would go to different employers and you would kind of 905 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,280 Speaker 1: like pin them between each other. So, uh, the company 906 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 1: that you're working for now versus another one, Right, you 907 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: go to their competitor or somebody in a different niche 908 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 1: and you show them the value that you provided for 909 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 1: the other company because you have data points behind it. 910 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,400 Speaker 1: For example, I helped X company grow to X revenue 911 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 1: in an X amount of time given these tools. But 912 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: I feel like I can go even farther given these 913 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,839 Speaker 1: right tools lend me the ability in order to do it. 914 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: I would job hop If you are in a company. 915 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 2: I think it's very sound advice actually for sure. 916 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. But if you are on your own, if you 917 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: want to go from one hundred to three hundred, the 918 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: very first thing is mindset because three hundred thousand dollars 919 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: a year, that's a completely different mindset that than somebody 920 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 1: making just one hundred. So you I need to I 921 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: would say, be the best and get paid to be 922 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 1: the best. That's how you're going to do it. But 923 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,600 Speaker 1: also look at scaling yourself. If you have your own business, 924 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 1: you know, create many means of you or hire employees, 925 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: which is hard, you know, going from one hundred to 926 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 1: three hundred, trusting other people to do the quality work 927 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: that you do. But you need to hire superstars, pay 928 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 1: them very well. And the time that you get back 929 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: from hiring other people and duplicating them, work on growing 930 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: your business, growing different avenues of it. And then I 931 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 1: would also say content plays into both of them. I 932 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: think content can amplify anything you do. If you work 933 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,799 Speaker 1: in a job, you can make content around that to 934 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: where other companies want to hire you because you now 935 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: have value as distribution because of your content, because you're 936 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: selling yourself through your content. And if you own your 937 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: own business, I don't have to explain that content will 938 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: help no matter what you are pushing in your content. 939 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's really sound advice for both of them. 940 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 2: I think your spot on that you're not gonna sett 941 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,399 Speaker 2: an catapult inside of an organization that much. And if 942 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 2: you are running your own thing, it's what you said 943 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 2: earlier as well. Sometimes you have to triple your output, 944 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,399 Speaker 2: like you will have to find ways to if you're 945 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 2: trying to go from one hundred to three hundred K, 946 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,319 Speaker 2: that means you've got to look at how many people 947 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 2: you've sold to, how many customers or clients you have. 948 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,359 Speaker 2: You're gonna have to find a way of tripling your 949 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 2: failure rate because that's going to get you that same success, right, 950 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,359 Speaker 2: and that could mean more people, it could mean more 951 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 2: hours yourself as well. 952 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 1: Right. So, Like a good example is, like you don't 953 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 1: have to start a business in order to be on 954 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,359 Speaker 1: your own and do you know three hundred thousand dollars 955 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 1: a year, there are so many side hustle type jobs 956 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 1: that you can do without taking a risk, you know, 957 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 1: of starting your own business pouring a ton of money 958 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 1: into it, and also without posting content. 959 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 2: What are the examples of jobs are there in sales 960 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 2: that you think giving people opportunity to really take their 961 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 2: finances into their control. 962 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: So door to door sales is where I started out, 963 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 1: and it's amazing. You will have the you will walk 964 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,800 Speaker 1: out with the best sales skill set. Because you're in person, 965 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,760 Speaker 1: you're getting rejected to your face. It is more gritty, 966 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 1: it is more rejection based because you are the first 967 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 1: person they see, and you're also closing the deal. You 968 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: have to be outside and you know, one hundred degree 969 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: every single day. It's you know, not the best for 970 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 1: lifestyle wise, But if you're young, like a college person, 971 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 1: I would definitely think about door to door sales. There's 972 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 1: also insurance sales. I would say that's good if you 973 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,919 Speaker 1: want to recruit. They make a lot of their money 974 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: from recruiting other people to do it. There's also med sales, 975 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 1: tech sales. Marketing agencies have sales teams, there's software sales. 976 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,760 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of different sales industry. So I would 977 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 1: just urge people to think about, like what their lifestyle 978 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: is and what would be best according to your lifestyle. 979 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: So there's you know, the gritty in person you know, 980 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: grind sales like door to door and insurance. But then 981 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,959 Speaker 1: there's also the more corporate which is like office job 982 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 1: type sales where you work for a larger company, you 983 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 1: have quotas, you have minimums, all these things. But then 984 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 1: there's freelance sales, which is like setting and closing and 985 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 1: this is where you are your own closing business and 986 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 1: you can talk to someone for thirty minutes and they 987 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: want to buy. You get a commission off of it. 988 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,279 Speaker 2: If people can make this much money in sales, why 989 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:16,319 Speaker 2: isn't everyone doing it? 990 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,799 Speaker 1: One because it's a limiting belief that you have to 991 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,480 Speaker 1: do the right thing in life in order to have success. 992 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 1: Like people brainwash you from a young age that you 993 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: need to go to school for sixteen years, you know, 994 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,800 Speaker 1: go to college, get you know, a general education degree. 995 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,320 Speaker 1: Then you get into the workforce, which is a general 996 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,600 Speaker 1: job because you have general education. And then you're working 997 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,439 Speaker 1: a job because you have debt to pay off, let 998 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 1: alone being you know, maybe you don't even get to 999 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 1: get a job or you might be replaced by AI soon. 1000 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 1: So a lot of people think that that's like the 1001 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 1: normal path, but I think people are kind of starting 1002 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,240 Speaker 1: to get more keen to the idea of doing other things. 1003 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,839 Speaker 1: But then I would also say it's mindset. Sales has 1004 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:03,320 Speaker 1: taught me that eighty percent of people's mindsets just suck. 1005 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: They're very self limiting. Like a lot of people won't 1006 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 1: even put themselves in the position to do something on 1007 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: their own because they're afraid that they're not going to 1008 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 1: be able to do it. And so that mindset itself 1009 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,839 Speaker 1: is proof that you won't be able to do it. 1010 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 1: So that's when I say you have to change the 1011 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 1: mindset first before you actually do it. And then also rejection. 1012 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 1: People aren't you know, used to getting told no. Nowadays 1013 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 1: it's very you know, instant gratification. If you want to 1014 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:33,959 Speaker 1: look something up, you can have it on your phone 1015 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,879 Speaker 1: right then, if you want to order something, it's at 1016 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: your door in two days. Sales is a game that 1017 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,920 Speaker 1: you play over a long period of time because in 1018 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,960 Speaker 1: the very beginning you're putting so much hard work into it, 1019 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 1: but you're still building the skill set, so you might 1020 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 1: not see it reflected in your paychecks for a couple 1021 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,840 Speaker 1: of days, maybe you know, a week or two, but 1022 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,040 Speaker 1: at some point, all of the work that you did 1023 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,439 Speaker 1: in the beginning will compound results for you over time. 1024 00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 1: But you have to go through that period of to suck. 1025 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 2: What are the mindsets you're seeing that holding women back, especially. 1026 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:10,160 Speaker 1: They don't believe that they deserve to do something different, 1027 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: and that can get deep and no one will come 1028 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,919 Speaker 1: out and say, you know, I don't believe that I'm 1029 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, can do this, But it's on a more 1030 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: subconscious level where people do not believe that they could 1031 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: achieve something. Maybe it's because of what their friends tell 1032 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 1: them or what their boyfriend tells them, or you know, 1033 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,719 Speaker 1: maybe you got fired from your last couple jobs. Like 1034 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 1: you can focus on negative data points in order to 1035 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 1: pull a negative story, but what you need to do 1036 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,919 Speaker 1: is you need to pull the positive data points, even 1037 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 1: if there's only a few, but focus on the positive 1038 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 1: data points of your life that pushes a positive story 1039 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: of No, No, I do deserve this, and I deserve 1040 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:48,400 Speaker 1: this because of all of the data points that I 1041 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,480 Speaker 1: can look back at. So everything that happens to you 1042 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 1: in your life, if you're wanting more like tangible advice 1043 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,799 Speaker 1: from this, everything that happens in your life, not just 1044 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: in sales, just life. You can pull negative story from it, 1045 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 1: or you can pull a positive story from it. Focus 1046 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 1: on the positive data points in order to believe a 1047 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:07,240 Speaker 1: positive story. 1048 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I always say everyone can tell two stories 1049 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 2: of their life. They could be like I've got all 1050 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 2: these opportunities, my life changed, I met the love of 1051 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 2: my life, like look where it is now, or at 1052 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 2: the same time, and it's equally true, you could say 1053 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 2: this person screwed me over, this person trying to sue me, 1054 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,320 Speaker 2: this pess whatever it may be, and both are true. 1055 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 2: Both happens, oh for sure, But it's like which one 1056 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 2: am I going to focus on? 1057 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,440 Speaker 1: And even some of the most you know, horrific things 1058 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,799 Speaker 1: that have happened in my life are very scary. I 1059 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 1: always think to myself, right then in there, this is 1060 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 1: going to be a great story to tell my kids 1061 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 1: one day, or there's going to be something great that 1062 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to be able to talk about on a 1063 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 1: podcast or on the stage. You know. So everything that 1064 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 1: you go through, you have to believe that it is 1065 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 1: not happening to you, it's happening for you, and maybe 1066 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,360 Speaker 1: it's a negative in the moment, but it could be 1067 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 1: a positive in the future, and this is not you know, 1068 00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 1: something big, like getting sued or getting broken up with 1069 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 1: It could be you're driving on the freeway and you 1070 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,479 Speaker 1: miss your exit.

I'd rather 1077 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,200 Speaker 1: take two minutes of redirection. Then you know what could 1078 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:22,720 Speaker 1: have happened. 1079 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 2: Shelby, We wanted to put yourself skills to the test 1080 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 2: in the room.

What is this an 1090 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 1: energy drink? 1091 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 2: It's it's a calming drink, like it's a balancing drink. 1092 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:18,319 Speaker 1: Okay. And what does it do for you? 1093 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 2: It helps you destress your mind, It helps you bring 1094 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 2: back your body into regulation, it helps calm you. 1095 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 1: Okay, When do you crack one of these? Open? When 1096 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:26,799 Speaker 1: do you need that? 1097 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 2: I probably open it mid day, like probably like my 1098 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,759 Speaker 2: mid day pick me up, or like around three four 1099 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 2: pm when you start hearing that sum it's got enough cafe, 1100 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 2: same caffeine in it as the amount of a natural 1101 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,719 Speaker 2: amount in tea, So it's not energy. It's not like 1102 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 2: two hundred milligrams of caffeine. It's like twenty four twenty five. 1103 00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,280 Speaker 1: I saw somewhere. You know, tea reminds you of talking 1104 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 1: with your mom or something. Tell me more about that. 1105 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, So tea was when I used to get back 1106 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 2: from school. My mom would sit me down and she'd 1107 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 2: pour me a cup of tea, but it would be 1108 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,120 Speaker 2: like a hot cup of tea, and she'd ask me 1109 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,400 Speaker 2: how my day was, and so like every day that 1110 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,840 Speaker 2: was our ritual. She was super busy, but that was 1111 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 2: a moment that we sat down together and had that 1112 00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 2: moment to Okay. 1113 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 1: So tomorrow comes around like three four when you have 1114 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: your little crash. If you don't have one of these, 1115 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 1: what are you doing? I'm uh, what's the. 1116 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 2: Subst Like, well, it would be something unhealthy like this 1117 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 2: is only five this is only what is it zero? 1118 00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 2: It's five calories and zero grams of sugar. I would 1119 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 2: usually have reached for something sugary to put sugar into 1120 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,319 Speaker 2: my body, which is caffeine. I try and stay off 1121 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 2: of refined sugars, caffeine and heavy sugars. 1122 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 1: And when you do that, what's the result? 1123 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,279 Speaker 2: Less energy, less motivation? Like you know, it's like you 1124 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 2: feel like you've been in the gym all week, But 1125 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 2: what's the point because you're just like putting rubbish into 1126 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 2: your body, maybe more sugar spikes and then low moods 1127 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:41,920 Speaker 2: and downpoints. 1128 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,279 Speaker 1: So what does that mean for you? 1129 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:44,480 Speaker 2: Though? 1130 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,320 Speaker 1: If you're not able to show up with the energy 1131 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 1: or with you know, knowing that what you're putting in 1132 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,759 Speaker 1: your body isn't necessarily the best? Like what does the 1133 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,840 Speaker 1: crash actually mean? If you were to go through that tomorrow? 1134 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,359 Speaker 2: I mean, in one sense, you could argue that it's 1135 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 2: like it is whatever it is, But I think I 1136 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 2: really it being alert all the time, being focused and 1137 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 2: making sure that my snacks are not unhealthy. 1138 00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: Right. You don't want to live a life that just 1139 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 1: is whatever it is. You want to live a life 1140 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: where you're at your best, right. Yeah, So that's kind 1141 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,880 Speaker 1: of what I'm getting at is it's not about you know, 1142 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 1: this is an energy drink or you know, adapt an 1143 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 1: adaptogenic tea. It's about the result that it can have 1144 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 1: for you on a day to day basis when someone 1145 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,720 Speaker 1: like you need to be on right. So my question 1146 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 1: to you is, if you tomorrow could show up your 1147 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,840 Speaker 1: best self for podcasts, for your work, for your clients, 1148 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 1: what would that be worth to you to show up 1149 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,160 Speaker 1: as the best version of yourself? That probably everything right, 1150 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:37,440 Speaker 1: and well I'm not asking for everything. I'm just asking 1151 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 1: for five bucks. There you go. 1152 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 2: That was really good. I love it. I love how 1153 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 2: well personally it was. Yeah. 1154 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,040 Speaker 1: So it's and I'm glad that we did that because 1155 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 1: I want a lot of people to understand selling something 1156 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: the wrong thing to do would have been Okay, awesome, Jay. 1157 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 1: So this is obviously the can super pretty I'm reading 1158 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,319 Speaker 1: that it has one hundred and fifty milligrams of this, 1159 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,759 Speaker 1: it's manufactured here. It is the best quality drink that 1160 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 1: you could have right now by it. I didn't know 1161 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 1: what I was walking into in this context. I don't 1162 00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 1: know anything about your day to day life. I don't 1163 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 1: know anything about what you would substitute if you didn't 1164 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,440 Speaker 1: do this, and I didn't know. Obviously this is going 1165 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,960 Speaker 1: to give you energy, but it's what that energy does 1166 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,839 Speaker 1: for you, which in your case prevents crashes when you're 1167 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 1: trying to show up as your best self. So you 1168 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 1: really need to step back and gather context and ask questions. 1169 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 1: That's literally all sales is. It's what I just did. 1170 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,120 Speaker 1: It's just asking questions about what somebody actually wants and 1171 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,279 Speaker 1: if it fits into it. And I knew exactly when 1172 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 1: it fit into it, because you said, you know, I 1173 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,560 Speaker 1: would crash, and I don't want to crash when I'm 1174 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 1: trying to run like a high level lifestyle right when 1175 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm running a business having family. Right. So that's what 1176 00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,239 Speaker 1: people buy is they don't buy what it is, they 1177 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: buy the transformation. So your job a couple different steps. 1178 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,839 Speaker 1: Is one be the pattern interrupt, which is instead of 1179 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,120 Speaker 1: getting straight to selling. Just ask, have a conversation, and 1180 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 1: then it's figure out the leverage points, which I did 1181 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 1: that by asking you questions. Then it's provide value and 1182 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,439 Speaker 1: provide a clear solution, which is this. And then it's also, 1183 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, anchoring someone before you price drop. So what 1184 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 1: did I ask? I said, what would that be worth 1185 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,640 Speaker 1: to you? It'd probably be worth everything, right to show 1186 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 1: up as your best self. Well, I'm not asking for everything. 1187 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 1: I'm just asking for five bucks, and so it makes 1188 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 1: it a little bit more attainable. 1189 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's such a good demonstration. Let's do that with 1190 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 2: something that I know less about. I won't people to 1191 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 2: see that book. Okay, So like maybe. 1192 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 1: You got a pen? 1193 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there you go. Okay, someone's hopefully someone's not 1194 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 2: chewed on that. 1195 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, love me is it's the only pen you have 1196 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 1: around you? 1197 00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 2: Do you want a nice one? 1198 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:40,480 Speaker 1: To me? Every pen? 1199 00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 2: Nice one? We did it with a product that I 1200 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 2: know a lot. 1201 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 1: About, right, and you want right, obviously you want this product? Right? 1202 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 2: No, no, no, but I think the way you I still 1203 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:54,880 Speaker 2: think what you did was brilliant. I'm just saying you'll 1204 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,800 Speaker 2: be good to ye. 1205 00:57:57,960 --> 00:57:59,640 Speaker 1: Do you have any other pens? In the room or 1206 00:57:59,680 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 1: is this it? 1207 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:01,480 Speaker 2: That's it? 1208 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:01,919 Speaker 1: Okay? 1209 00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 2: Is that bad? Do you want nice one? 1210 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,439 Speaker 1: This is fine? This is every pen though, right, there's 1211 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 1: no other hiding Okay, awesome step number one create a need. 1212 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 1: But let's see it's good. 1213 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 2: That's funny. 1214 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 1: Okay, no, no, no, this is fine. I want to 1215 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 1: play to a check toe. If you win, I'll vendo 1216 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 1: you one hundred dollars. If you lose, nothing happens, and 1217 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,439 Speaker 1: I just give you all your pens back. The only 1218 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,920 Speaker 1: trick is where's your pen? 1219 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 2: I don't. 1220 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,680 Speaker 1: Well, I'm selling all of these pens for five dollars each. 1221 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,840 Speaker 1: I will let you choose basically five dollars entry feet 1222 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 1: in order to only have an upside in order to 1223 00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 1: win one hundred dollars. Which one would you like? The 1224 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 1: red or the way? Obviously this is a joke, guys, right, 1225 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: So it's obviously a joke. But what it is is 1226 00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,440 Speaker 1: it's another concept of a pattern interrupt And sometimes when 1227 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 1: you're selling something, you know, people expect you just to 1228 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,680 Speaker 1: try to sell a pen, when that's the whole trick. 1229 00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:56,640 Speaker 1: So the whole trick of it is, and I'll show 1230 00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 1: you a little bit of a more tangible way to 1231 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,480 Speaker 1: sell a pen after this, But the trick with the 1232 00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 1: time old sell me this pen is everybody wants you 1233 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 1: just to start selling the pet, right all. This pen 1234 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 1: is so amazing. It's all black, monochrome signature and graving 1235 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,360 Speaker 1: right here. It never runs out of ink, like, it'll 1236 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,800 Speaker 1: look nice on your desk, like nobody cares about your pet, 1237 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 1: like literally nobody cares. So what you would do is 1238 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,240 Speaker 1: you would one like, break the pattern. Be different. What 1239 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 1: I just did is obviously a little bit of a joke, 1240 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 1: but it is different. And then number two with this 1241 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 1: is I'm selling an experience. I'm like, hey, play me. 1242 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 1: The upside is all literally right now, venmo you a 1243 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,480 Speaker 1: hundred bucks. But the entry fee I created a need 1244 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,720 Speaker 1: by gathering all your pens even in the other room. 1245 00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 1: The entry fee is five dollars. Do you want to 1246 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,960 Speaker 1: play or not? Well, obviously someone would probably take a 1247 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 1: five dollars to get one hundred dollars. And then the 1248 00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,360 Speaker 1: other thing is too like if you just create something 1249 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,240 Speaker 1: that's clear, super simple, A lot of people try to 1250 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:53,800 Speaker 1: overcomplicate the sales process. It's just problem solution. Your problem 1251 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 1: was you know, you probably wanted to play but you 1252 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 1: didn't have any pens, and my solution was giving you 1253 00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 1: back one of your pens. So the right way to 1254 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,960 Speaker 1: actually sell the pen. Now, if anybody ever asks someone 1255 01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 1: that's watching, how do you sell the pen, it's a 1256 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,479 Speaker 1: trick to see if you are a trained sales rep. 1257 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,520 Speaker 1: So don't do this. This is just a joke, right, 1258 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,680 Speaker 1: But what you would do is you would hold the 1259 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,919 Speaker 1: pen and you would be like, I mean, why would 1260 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:17,880 Speaker 1: you even want to pen? Like, what do you do 1261 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:18,280 Speaker 1: for work? 1262 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,840 Speaker 2: What do you do for I have a podcast, I 1263 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,040 Speaker 2: write books, and I coach people. 1264 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,480 Speaker 1: Okay, do you write books? Probably on a laptop though, right, 1265 01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:30,280 Speaker 1: So what would you even use a pen for? 1266 01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, barely use a pen maybe randomly to sign checks, 1267 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 2: but like very rare to sign check, very rarely, because 1268 01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:38,160 Speaker 2: now's DOCU signed and. 1269 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,000 Speaker 1: For sure, Yeah, so take me through signing a check. 1270 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 1: Is that someone's paycheck? Or is that to pay for something? 1271 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,680 Speaker 2: Or maybe it's like to pay for something but like 1272 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 2: so rare, I can't even remember the last. 1273 01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,840 Speaker 1: And it's always one of those things where it's like 1274 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 1: you don't need a pen until you need. 1275 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,200 Speaker 2: A pen, right, ye, exactly? Or maybe I dodle well, 1276 01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:59,280 Speaker 2: I'm on the phone. Yeah, sometimes I'll just you know, playing. 1277 01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 1: Around, so on a phone with someone where you're trying 1278 01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 1: to like write down notes about a conversation. 1279 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:07,040 Speaker 2: I still like writing down notes, yeah, by hand probably? Yeah. 1280 01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 1: Okay. So somebody calls you up and they give you 1281 01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 1: amazing tangible advice for your podcast or your next book, 1282 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,000 Speaker 1: and in that moment, you don't want to go on 1283 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,160 Speaker 1: your notes app because you're trying to like stay focused, 1284 01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: stay concerned. Right, you reach over for a pen kind 1285 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 1: of like how we just did, and this guy pops up. Yeah, 1286 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:28,440 Speaker 1: I like this. How do you feel writing down million 1287 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,919 Speaker 1: dollar advice with this pen? Probably not the best? 1288 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 2: Right, great, because I'm thinking someone's someone in the office 1289 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 2: is cheered. 1290 01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Do you want to take down million dollar advice with 1291 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 1: a fifty cent sharpie pen that's been chewed on? Probably 1292 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:44,680 Speaker 1: not right? But then this pen is on your table instead, 1293 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, instead of that one reaching for it maybe 1294 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:48,480 Speaker 1: has gum on its it's been in the bottom of 1295 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:52,000 Speaker 1: a backpack. Instead. This pen always stays on your office 1296 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,280 Speaker 1: no matter what, even though you'll probably never use it 1297 01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 1: because everything's on docu sign But when you do need it, 1298 01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 1: it'll be right there. It's not about the pen. It's 1299 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,320 Speaker 1: about piece of mind that when that when that one 1300 01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,280 Speaker 1: person does call you, you won't be frantic trying to 1301 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,440 Speaker 1: search for another pene. It'll just be right there and 1302 01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,560 Speaker 1: you can just write down all the advice. So I 1303 01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,640 Speaker 1: would sell basically like your leverage point was, I don't 1304 01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,520 Speaker 1: need a pen, but I could, right, It's like I 1305 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:19,240 Speaker 1: don't really use it, So I did the leverage of insurance. 1306 01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:21,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's like you might not need one tomorrow, 1307 01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 1: but when you do need one, you're gonna really need one, 1308 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 1: and you want to have the peace of mind that 1309 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,720 Speaker 1: it will be there. So what did I do? So? 1310 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,040 Speaker 1: I asked questions in order to understand context of what 1311 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,280 Speaker 1: you do for work, why you would even want it, 1312 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 1: what the scenario would be if you had a pen 1313 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,400 Speaker 1: that you didn't like versus a pen that you loved 1314 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 1: and just looked at it and felt super confident about 1315 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,760 Speaker 1: writing you know, that next book, or writing somebody's advice down, 1316 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 1: or you know, signing someone's paycheck is a big deal 1317 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,880 Speaker 1: as well, hiring someone. First impressions matter, so you kind 1318 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 1: of extrapolate whatever you are selling from like the actual object, 1319 01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 1: and you broaden it out into something that somebody actually 1320 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,000 Speaker 1: cares about, which for you, it's peace of mind in 1321 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 1: order to be prepared at every point in time. 1322 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's impressive is, at no point did you sell 1323 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 2: me the pen. No, like, at no point where you like, 1324 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,920 Speaker 2: look at the color, look it will make you. You 1325 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,680 Speaker 2: didn't even try and sell me the prestige of it, 1326 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 2: Like you weren't like, oh, if you hold this pen, 1327 01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,040 Speaker 2: everyone's gonna think you're fat because I don't care about. 1328 01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:18,760 Speaker 1: That, because nobody cares. 1329 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 2: Because nobody cares. And it's so interesting because I think 1330 01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,760 Speaker 2: we're constantly trying to think we know what the other 1331 01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 2: person wants. So like if someone like me walks into 1332 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,760 Speaker 2: wherever you're assuming I want to be certain things, or 1333 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,760 Speaker 2: if someone sees you walking and they assume that, oh, well, 1334 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,360 Speaker 2: Shelby's character profile must be this, this and this, I 1335 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,080 Speaker 2: don't know, like talk to you. 1336 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, there are so many times. And this is actually 1337 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 1: my biggest pet peeve when I'm getting sold is somebody 1338 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:49,360 Speaker 1: will look at you and make a stereotype out. It's 1339 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,960 Speaker 1: like I walk into a car dealership and people think 1340 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm talking about. They think that 1341 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,880 Speaker 1: Daddy's just gonna swipe you know, I'm going to use 1342 01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,520 Speaker 1: my dad's credit card to buy some vehicle, or you know, 1343 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,360 Speaker 1: they can charge me a bunch because I know nothing 1344 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 1: about the sales process, when in reality, if a sales rep, 1345 01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:09,320 Speaker 1: instead of making assumptions, just stopped and just asked, you 1346 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,800 Speaker 1: would actually get to know people and then you can 1347 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 1: help them through simple problem and solution. That's why everybody 1348 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 1: thinks sales is manipulation and trying to push things on people. 1349 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,640 Speaker 1: It's not. It's literally just taking a step back, asking questions, 1350 01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,680 Speaker 1: getting to know somebody, and if it works, then you 1351 01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 1: can plug and play your solution and empower them in 1352 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 1: order to make a decision that will genuinely change their. 1353 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 2: Life when you're actually in practice with it, like when 1354 01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,680 Speaker 2: you see it, like what you were just doing, Like, yeah, 1355 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 2: no point did I feel forced. At no point did 1356 01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 2: I feel like I And if I had said to you, no, 1357 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 2: I never use a pend, I don't need it at all, 1358 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:44,360 Speaker 2: you probably. 1359 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,240 Speaker 1: Would be like, Okay, awesome, you're exactly yeah, And. 1360 01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,040 Speaker 2: I think that's partly as well, where it's like, yeah, 1361 01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:51,760 Speaker 2: if I would have closed the conversation, whereas I was 1362 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 2: actually thinking, I mean i'd. 1363 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:54,919 Speaker 1: Probably roll that objection a couple of times. 1364 01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:55,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1365 01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, when somebody gives you like, straight off the bat, 1366 01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,520 Speaker 1: not interested, what they're doing is it's called a brush 1367 01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,360 Speaker 1: off objection. It's not a true objection. What do you mean, 1368 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,640 Speaker 1: you're not interested? You haven't even like seen what we 1369 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:08,520 Speaker 1: have to offer, So it's I wouldn't say that, but 1370 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:09,320 Speaker 1: that's what I'm thinking. 1371 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 2: Right. 1372 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 1: Obviously they're not interested, but they're not interested in the 1373 01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 1: time spent with you rather than what you have to offer. 1374 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,440 Speaker 1: So when they brush you off, you brush it right 1375 01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,360 Speaker 1: back off. No, for sure, I'll just take two seconds 1376 01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:23,680 Speaker 1: out of your day to talk about X y Z. 1377 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,440 Speaker 1: You literally just keep going and if somebody is a 1378 01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,720 Speaker 1: qualified buyer, they will take the time to actually talk 1379 01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,360 Speaker 1: to you, and you can roll that objection into more time, 1380 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 1: which then you can sell. Can I have a drink 1381 01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 1: of that one? 1382 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 2: Of course? Of course you can't. Do you like that flavor? 1383 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 1: I think it's a blue one that you gave you said. 1384 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,640 Speaker 2: Blue, Oh, no, we have a we don't have any 1385 01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 2: blueberry anymore. 1386 01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,960 Speaker 1: I don't think it was blueberry. It was like some berry. 1387 01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,600 Speaker 2: It was a raspberry or cherry. 1388 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:53,800 Speaker 1: It was raspberry. 1389 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 2: Should we get you that one. 1390 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,040 Speaker 1: I think this will be good find. 1391 01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:58,560 Speaker 2: If you want that one, I can get you that one. 1392 01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 1: But they're really good, thank you, you're the best. Do 1393 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:03,920 Speaker 1: they not have caffeine in them? 1394 01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,040 Speaker 2: They do have caffeine with the same amount a cup 1395 01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:09,240 Speaker 2: of tea, So there is caffeine and if it's a 1396 01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:12,320 Speaker 2: natural amount, that's a DCAF one though. Oh yeah, you 1397 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,960 Speaker 2: want one with caffeine. Yeah, so we need to get 1398 01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:16,840 Speaker 2: you the raspberry one. That's the one that has that's 1399 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 2: the one that has a caffeine. 1400 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you're like any time, never mind, yeahober business 1401 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:23,320 Speaker 1: caffeine and. 1402 01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 2: D cafe Okay, yeah, all right, So we're going to 1403 01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,040 Speaker 2: test you on the objections. 1404 01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:29,560 Speaker 1: You gotta know them. 1405 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:34,240 Speaker 2: Okay. The first one is it's too expensive. 1406 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 1: So a lot of people think that, you know, you're 1407 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,480 Speaker 1: comparing a price versus nothing, right, But the price is 1408 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,760 Speaker 1: what you pay today. The cost is what you pay 1409 01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:43,720 Speaker 1: years down the line when you don't solve the issue. 1410 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 1: So you said your business is bleeding fifteen thousand dollars 1411 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,959 Speaker 1: a month revenue, right, so you don't just like walk 1412 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,920 Speaker 1: away and just you know, pay nothing. It's actually comparing 1413 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, a five thousand dollars solution to your problem 1414 01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,480 Speaker 1: versus a cost of you know, sixty grand down the 1415 01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:00,800 Speaker 1: line over a couple of months. So which one are 1416 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:02,880 Speaker 1: you more comfortable paying the price for the cost? 1417 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:04,040 Speaker 2: Right? Yeah? 1418 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 1: You just reframe it. 1419 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and it is good because half the time 1420 01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:11,720 Speaker 2: that passion hasn't done that reframe either. All right, I 1421 01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 2: need some time to think about it. 1422 01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 1: Do you need quantity of time or quality of time? 1423 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,400 Speaker 2: Quality? It's like I really need to like digest what 1424 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:20,000 Speaker 2: you've told me to. 1425 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:21,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you said that. A lot of people 1426 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,920 Speaker 1: think they just need quantity of time, which is, you know, 1427 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:27,680 Speaker 1: a couple of days, weeks, whatever, But few people actually understand, 1428 01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,720 Speaker 1: which I'm glad you do that you need quality time, 1429 01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,800 Speaker 1: which is the quality of information that's in front of you, 1430 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 1: but also quality time to sit down and make a 1431 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,680 Speaker 1: well thought out decision. Right, I'm literally the same way. 1432 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 1: But like I said, we have twenty minutes left of 1433 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,120 Speaker 1: intentional time on this call. You're busy, I know as 1434 01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:44,800 Speaker 1: soon as you shut this laptop off. It's like you 1435 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:46,480 Speaker 1: got kids, you got to run the business all the things. 1436 01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,320 Speaker 1: So we have twenty minutes left of intentional time, and 1437 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,919 Speaker 1: I've got all of the information right here in front 1438 01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 1: of us. In order to make a well decision, I 1439 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,120 Speaker 1: need to check with my wife, and you will. You're 1440 01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,240 Speaker 1: either going to come to her though, with a problem 1441 01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 1: or a solution, you know, a problem of Hey honey, 1442 01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 1: I really want to do this, but I don't know 1443 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,000 Speaker 1: if I should and da da da, or hey honey, 1444 01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,120 Speaker 1: I found somebody that can really help me solve my 1445 01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 1: problem that I've been wanting. I really trust it, and 1446 01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:11,840 Speaker 1: I thank you for your support. Which one do you 1447 01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 1: think would go over better with your wife? Probably the 1448 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 1: solution right. Also another one I love for that and 1449 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:21,600 Speaker 1: I've never talked about this either, is the flip flop. So, 1450 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:23,599 Speaker 1: for example, if somebody tells me, you know, I need 1451 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,479 Speaker 1: to talk to my husband or my wife, I'd just 1452 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,639 Speaker 1: be like, no problem. Can I challenge that? Yeah? Okay, awesome. 1453 01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:32,479 Speaker 1: So if instead instead of it being me and you talking, 1454 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:34,800 Speaker 1: what if it was me and your wife, you know, 1455 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:36,800 Speaker 1: and she came to me and she's saying, I'm going 1456 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,960 Speaker 1: through this, this and that, and I finally found someone 1457 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 1: that I think can solve my problem, and I really 1458 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:43,400 Speaker 1: want to do it, but I want to check with 1459 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:47,000 Speaker 1: my husband first. Would you support her in making that decision, 1460 01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:49,240 Speaker 1: you probably would write, So is it fair to say 1461 01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:50,720 Speaker 1: that she'd probably support you in the same way that 1462 01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 1: you support her? And this works really well if you're 1463 01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,560 Speaker 1: talking to a woman, if you instead of saying the 1464 01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,080 Speaker 1: husband thing, because she'll be like, why i'd want him 1465 01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 1: to talk to me? You know, it works really well. 1466 01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,040 Speaker 1: But if you flip it and you're like, let's say 1467 01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,840 Speaker 1: it's your best friend, you know, and she's sitting here 1468 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 1: going through this, going through the same thoughts, would you 1469 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,720 Speaker 1: tell her to do it? You know probably would, right, well, 1470 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,400 Speaker 1: is it fair to say other people would probably tell 1471 01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,680 Speaker 1: you to do it too? So putting people kind of 1472 01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:17,360 Speaker 1: like outside of themselves and looking at the situation from 1473 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,800 Speaker 1: an unbiased third party perspective and being like, what would 1474 01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,920 Speaker 1: you tell that person to do right now? Because you're 1475 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:23,559 Speaker 1: saying to me that you really want to do it, 1476 01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 1: you'd probably say to do it right, let's do it. So, yeah, 1477 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:28,200 Speaker 1: I give you two on that one. 1478 01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I appreciate it. And now it's not a 1479 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:31,599 Speaker 2: good time. 1480 01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:35,799 Speaker 1: For to talk or to make a decision about something. 1481 01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,160 Speaker 2: I've just got so much going on, Like I've got 1482 01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,479 Speaker 2: family stuff. I'm like exhausted. I just I just don't 1483 01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:42,320 Speaker 2: think that was a good time. 1484 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:43,360 Speaker 1: Can I challenge that? 1485 01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:45,760 Speaker 2: I don't know? I just I don't know if I 1486 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 2: have the bandwidth for you right now? 1487 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,920 Speaker 1: No, for sure. And I'll just make it easier for you, 1488 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,120 Speaker 1: because you know, the bandwidth to think about things over 1489 01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,160 Speaker 1: a long period of time by yourself. It just that's 1490 01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,559 Speaker 1: how stress gets created, right, So I'll just clear that 1491 01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,040 Speaker 1: up for you. So when you say you don't have 1492 01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,000 Speaker 1: the time, you know to think about it and to 1493 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 1: process the bandwidth. A lot of people think that they 1494 01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:06,840 Speaker 1: need to be in a situation where they have every 1495 01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,679 Speaker 1: single ounce of intentional time, But in fact, the best 1496 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,080 Speaker 1: decisions are made in the gray area. Some of the 1497 01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:14,880 Speaker 1: best companies were started in the recession. It's because while 1498 01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,280 Speaker 1: everybody else is moving forward, you need to be the 1499 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,799 Speaker 1: person that maybe takes a step back. But while everybody 1500 01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:21,479 Speaker 1: else is sleeping, you need to be the person that 1501 01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:23,760 Speaker 1: makes a decision in order to get better. So what 1502 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,000 Speaker 1: do you want to be right now? Someone that just 1503 01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:27,360 Speaker 1: follows along with what everybody else is doing, or someone 1504 01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,439 Speaker 1: that actually moves forward when everybody else is kind of 1505 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,840 Speaker 1: just moving along, Because are you going to wait for 1506 01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 1: life to happen to you, or a you're going to 1507 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:35,639 Speaker 1: make your life happen for you right now. 1508 01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,840 Speaker 2: And sometimes people may even take them but like I 1509 01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:42,600 Speaker 2: still need time, but you've helped them think about it 1510 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:43,559 Speaker 2: in a different way. 1511 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,760 Speaker 1: So I always start every objection with I hear you, 1512 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 1: can I challenge that thought? Because it allows you to 1513 01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:53,439 Speaker 1: separate the objection from you. I'm not saying can I 1514 01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 1: challenge you? You know, it's not me versus you. It's like, hey, 1515 01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 1: can I challenge that thinking for a second? And it's 1516 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,040 Speaker 1: like a lot of people think, but it's actually, this 1517 01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,080 Speaker 1: will help you get one step closer to your goal. 1518 01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. These were some other things that 1519 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,760 Speaker 2: came in from social of people of things they're struggling with. 1520 01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:11,800 Speaker 2: So how should this we're moving away from the objections, 1521 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,519 Speaker 2: how should someone approach a conversation to ask for a raise? 1522 01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:18,000 Speaker 1: Ooh, so step number one is you have to have 1523 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,880 Speaker 1: some sort of experience behind you in some sort of 1524 01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:23,080 Speaker 1: numbers in order to deserve a raise. You can't just 1525 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,200 Speaker 1: get hired the first day and ask for a raise, 1526 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,479 Speaker 1: or you can't be the worst employee ever and ask 1527 01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,080 Speaker 1: for a race. So you have to have a reason 1528 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 1: to ask for a raise, so that means be the 1529 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,519 Speaker 1: best at your job, right, have some sort of reason 1530 01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,320 Speaker 1: in order to ask for a race. Then when you 1531 01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:40,559 Speaker 1: ask for a raise, have other competitors' datas in order 1532 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:42,960 Speaker 1: to compare to. So, for example, if I want to 1533 01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,800 Speaker 1: ask for a race from you, I would go to 1534 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,720 Speaker 1: one of your competitors and say, Hey, I've been working 1535 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:49,760 Speaker 1: for Jayshetty for a while. We've done X amount of 1536 01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,080 Speaker 1: revenue with him. What is the offer that you have 1537 01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:53,560 Speaker 1: for me. Then I would take it back to you 1538 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,200 Speaker 1: and I would say, hey, Jay, I love working for 1539 01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,400 Speaker 1: you and I'm really sold on the long game with you. 1540 01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:01,320 Speaker 1: Like I want to grow with this company and I 1541 01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,439 Speaker 1: want to stay here, but I need to make it 1542 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,679 Speaker 1: make sense for me just on a monetary standpoint, because 1543 01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,439 Speaker 1: I have other competitors such as this guy and this 1544 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:12,240 Speaker 1: guy offering me a little bit more. So I want 1545 01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:13,559 Speaker 1: to stay with you. That's why I want to have 1546 01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:17,400 Speaker 1: this conversation be you know, grounded with it. But I 1547 01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 1: just need it to make a little bit more sense 1548 01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,080 Speaker 1: on the financial side in order to grow with you 1549 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 1: long term. So even if you don't believe that you're 1550 01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,960 Speaker 1: going to be with this company long term. You need 1551 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,439 Speaker 1: to sell the long game and sell the vision to 1552 01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:31,639 Speaker 1: your employer because, like you said, that's the leverage point 1553 01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:34,040 Speaker 1: that an employer has is they want to invest in 1554 01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,160 Speaker 1: people for the long game. So, Hey, I want to 1555 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,760 Speaker 1: be here for a long time. But in order for 1556 01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,600 Speaker 1: me to put all my resources here, I need a 1557 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,320 Speaker 1: little bit back because other people are recognizing my value 1558 01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying you don't, but I need it 1559 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:48,640 Speaker 1: to make it make a little bit more sense for me. 1560 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,640 Speaker 2: What about if someone's if someone's going to interview with 1561 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,080 Speaker 2: the company, what are the top three things they need 1562 01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 2: to show? 1563 01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 1: Numbers what you've done for the company. I would say, 1564 01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:02,520 Speaker 1: audit what you you can do better and have a mathematical, 1565 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:04,760 Speaker 1: easy game plan way to show what you can do 1566 01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,640 Speaker 1: with the company given the raise. So you can't just 1567 01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,679 Speaker 1: ask for a raise just because you deserve it. Corporate 1568 01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:15,000 Speaker 1: America does not like entitlement, right, But people will pay 1569 01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,200 Speaker 1: you if they think there's an upside. So this is 1570 01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:19,679 Speaker 1: creating value, right. It's Hey, if you pay me twenty 1571 01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,479 Speaker 1: thousand dollars more, I'm going to generate eight hundred thousand 1572 01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,280 Speaker 1: dollars a year more for the company and I'm willing 1573 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,559 Speaker 1: to do this, this, and this for it. It's just 1574 01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,280 Speaker 1: like in sales, you can't drop the price when negotiating 1575 01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,200 Speaker 1: with someone for no reason, right. You need to actually 1576 01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,639 Speaker 1: have a reason and justify a price drop in order 1577 01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,639 Speaker 1: to not sound sales y. Right, So data and then 1578 01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:41,559 Speaker 1: also like have a clear game plan and you want 1579 01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:43,599 Speaker 1: to make it super easy for someone to say yes 1580 01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,760 Speaker 1: to you and say, hey, if I give this girl 1581 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:47,519 Speaker 1: a promotion, this is exactly what we're going to get 1582 01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,200 Speaker 1: for her. Okay, awesome, let's do it. 1583 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:51,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you deal with it when you don't 1584 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,320 Speaker 2: get what you want? And what's the right response? 1585 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,960 Speaker 1: Never burn the bridge. That's a very good question that 1586 01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,519 Speaker 1: not a lot of people talk about. You never burn 1587 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,200 Speaker 1: the bridge because a no isn't a no forever. It 1588 01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 1: could be just maybe later, it could be you know 1589 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of insight to where you need to 1590 01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,080 Speaker 1: improve a couple of things and then reask again when 1591 01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:12,840 Speaker 1: you have more leverage there. So just know that a 1592 01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 1: no isn't forever, it's just not right now. 1593 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think yeah, I think it comes back to 1594 01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:19,840 Speaker 2: what we've been talking about this whole conversation, where it's 1595 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:23,160 Speaker 2: like when you deal with rejection badly. It starts to 1596 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,280 Speaker 2: affect everything because then you're like, you know, it could 1597 01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,439 Speaker 2: go in multiple ways. You're like shrinking yourself. Your mood's 1598 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 2: a bit dull, you're not walking in with that smile 1599 01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:33,920 Speaker 2: and with that confidence that you had, and all of 1600 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 2: a sudden, it's affecting everything. Yeah, for sure, It's crazy 1601 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,480 Speaker 2: how quickly we kind of shut the door on ourselves. 1602 01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:42,479 Speaker 2: What about if you're going to interview for a job 1603 01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 2: for the first time, So what an interview is looking 1604 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:47,240 Speaker 2: for when you're interviewing for a job. 1605 01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:49,320 Speaker 1: Right, So they're looking for people that are boughten on 1606 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,360 Speaker 1: the long term vision exactly. But also they're looking for 1607 01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:55,640 Speaker 1: people that ask really good questions that show that you 1608 01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:57,960 Speaker 1: kind of know what you're doing through the questions that 1609 01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,880 Speaker 1: you ask. So, for example, if you want to be 1610 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,680 Speaker 1: a remote closer and you get on an interview with 1611 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,160 Speaker 1: someone and they're like, so what made you apply, and 1612 01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:08,160 Speaker 1: you're like, I just really want to make more money. 1613 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,120 Speaker 1: I just want sales experience. What is that that's all 1614 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:14,720 Speaker 1: about me? Nobody cares about what you want, right, They 1615 01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:16,400 Speaker 1: care about what you can do for them in the 1616 01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:20,800 Speaker 1: context of the situation. So it's you know, instead of Oh, 1617 01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:22,800 Speaker 1: I really want to make money blah blah blah, it's hey, 1618 01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 1: I've been following X creator, X mentor for so long. 1619 01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,680 Speaker 1: I have this sales background, and I would I've been 1620 01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:30,920 Speaker 1: closing for other offers, right, but I would love to 1621 01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 1: close for her offer because I have true conviction what 1622 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,040 Speaker 1: she's selling and I want to help you guys grow 1623 01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:39,479 Speaker 1: your business. So it's all about making the game plan clear, 1624 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,880 Speaker 1: but also using the leverage points of the other person, 1625 01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:42,720 Speaker 1: not yourself. 1626 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I think the amount of people that interview 1627 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,040 Speaker 2: these days and they don't have that entitlement, it's it's 1628 01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:53,120 Speaker 2: it's yeah. The answer is just it shocks you sometimes, 1629 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:56,280 Speaker 2: you like, like someone, I've interviewed people and they've said 1630 01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 2: things to me like yeah, I just didn't like what 1631 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:04,080 Speaker 2: I was doing right, And it's like, cool, that's fair. 1632 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,599 Speaker 2: I get it. I've not liked sating jobs that I have, right, 1633 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:08,960 Speaker 2: But like, you don't want to be here. 1634 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:12,200 Speaker 1: You want to come off as someone that is ready 1635 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:14,719 Speaker 1: to do the most, ready to go above and beyond, 1636 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 1: and doesn't just see it as a position. Because from 1637 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,760 Speaker 1: an employer's perspective, we don't want someone who just wants 1638 01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:21,920 Speaker 1: to show up and do the bare minimum. We want 1639 01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,760 Speaker 1: someone who sees the value so much in themselves and 1640 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,880 Speaker 1: takes pride in their work and is boughten on the 1641 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,360 Speaker 1: long term vision. So if you embody that you should 1642 01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,240 Speaker 1: be good to go for an interview and asking questions 1643 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,240 Speaker 1: that relate to you know, the business, you know, what's 1644 01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,360 Speaker 1: your guys's close rate, what's your guys's lead flow, like, 1645 01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,320 Speaker 1: tell me about the offer. When you make the interviewer 1646 01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:45,120 Speaker 1: sell themselves on why you should work for them, you 1647 01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:49,320 Speaker 1: want in that sales it's taking a step back and saying, well, 1648 01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:51,479 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm interviewing for a few positions, but I 1649 01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,200 Speaker 1: just wanted to know a little bit more about how 1650 01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:55,400 Speaker 1: you guys do this, what your process is like, what 1651 01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:56,880 Speaker 1: it would look like if I did get hired, what 1652 01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:58,439 Speaker 1: your salary is like, and then I can come back 1653 01:16:58,479 --> 01:16:59,240 Speaker 1: to you with the decision. 1654 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:00,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think I think there's a lot of 1655 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:04,200 Speaker 2: test of your worth too, Like, for example, if you're 1656 01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:06,040 Speaker 2: going to be confident enough to say I've got these 1657 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,639 Speaker 2: offices and I'm doing that, you better back it up 1658 01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:11,280 Speaker 2: because that person may also just go, yeah, good for you, 1659 01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:13,479 Speaker 2: like we don't need you either. And I feel like 1660 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:17,080 Speaker 2: sometimes it's if it's all a story, then it doesn't 1661 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,680 Speaker 2: always play well. Like I find like even like I 1662 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,200 Speaker 2: do a lot of corporate coaching work. That's that's where 1663 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 2: most of our coaching is in me working with large organizations. 1664 01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,240 Speaker 2: And I have there's a few experiences that I had 1665 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:30,719 Speaker 2: the first time I had an experience when I first 1666 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,479 Speaker 2: began this was like maybe I don't know, like ten 1667 01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 2: years ago, maybe even twelve years ago before before the brand, 1668 01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,080 Speaker 2: and so maybe even longer. And I remember being in 1669 01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:43,519 Speaker 2: an office and I asked all the questions, and before 1670 01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:45,519 Speaker 2: I was about to give my solution to their problem, 1671 01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:49,000 Speaker 2: I realized that my solution did solve their problem. And 1672 01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:53,439 Speaker 2: so I'm just going, yeah, all right, great, thank you, 1673 01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,680 Speaker 2: And I walked down, thank you so much, like I 1674 01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 2: just want to be honest with you. I don't think 1675 01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 2: I have what you need, but really grateful and I 1676 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:02,840 Speaker 2: hope you can get this conversation open. Fast forward five 1677 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,000 Speaker 2: years from that point, I went back and started a 1678 01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,200 Speaker 2: really great contract to this client. There is because they 1679 01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,479 Speaker 2: can see the honesty too. Like when I was I 1680 01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:10,720 Speaker 2: was happy to be like, guys, you know what, I 1681 01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:12,639 Speaker 2: actually I don't have anything you need, but I will 1682 01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:13,800 Speaker 2: come back exactly. 1683 01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,800 Speaker 1: And that's ethical sales because you can sell someone and 1684 01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,400 Speaker 1: then walk away from the conversation and both of you 1685 01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,240 Speaker 1: guys don't feel good about it, and that doesn't do 1686 01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,599 Speaker 1: any good at all. So it's like, when you sell 1687 01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,760 Speaker 1: someone or when you apply for an interview and you 1688 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,519 Speaker 1: are really trying to sell yourself, do you genuinely believe 1689 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 1: that you can provide this business value? Because that doesn't 1690 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:33,800 Speaker 1: just come off in the words that you say. That 1691 01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:35,840 Speaker 1: comes off in your energy. And I'm sure you could 1692 01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:37,760 Speaker 1: feel like when you kind of felt like, oh I 1693 01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 1: might not be ready for this right now, your energy 1694 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:42,760 Speaker 1: was probably like, oh way, I don't know what I 1695 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:45,680 Speaker 1: got reselved into. But that's why you really need to 1696 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,400 Speaker 1: build the data points in order to have conviction yourself 1697 01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:50,920 Speaker 1: or whatever you're selling, in order to show up that 1698 01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:54,120 Speaker 1: way and like energetically be like I'm here, I deserve this, 1699 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,920 Speaker 1: Like let's go cancel all the other interviews because I'm 1700 01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,559 Speaker 1: your person. And until then, I like how you just 1701 01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:02,880 Speaker 1: kept the bridge open, you didn't burn it. 1702 01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:05,280 Speaker 2: And it worked out. And I've had that with so 1703 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,800 Speaker 2: many things that we're doing right now where I got 1704 01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:11,000 Speaker 2: rejected from something seven years ago and this year it 1705 01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,880 Speaker 2: will become one of the most exciting parts of our business. 1706 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,160 Speaker 2: And it's like there's just seven years of relearning patients 1707 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,479 Speaker 2: figuring it out, for developing new skills. And I just 1708 01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 2: think that long game is so healthy for everyone to 1709 01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:26,479 Speaker 2: always play, because your current employer may write your reference 1710 01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,160 Speaker 2: one day. Your current employer maybe end up being one 1711 01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:31,559 Speaker 2: of your biggest clients for sure, Like you just have 1712 01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,879 Speaker 2: no idea, Like I worked at a company called Accentua, 1713 01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:36,680 Speaker 2: and Accentua was a place that invited me back to 1714 01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 2: do so many keynotes when my career took off. But 1715 01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,200 Speaker 2: if I hadn't had a good relationship with them, sure 1716 01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:44,880 Speaker 2: were left on good terms to your point of burning again, Well, 1717 01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:47,120 Speaker 2: then that wouldn't have been the case exactly. And I 1718 01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 2: feel like there's too much shortsightedness now because we think 1719 01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,439 Speaker 2: there's lots of opportunities, but at the top, everyone knows 1720 01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:53,720 Speaker 2: each other exactly. 1721 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,000 Speaker 1: But I think what you're saying is exactly what someone 1722 01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:58,439 Speaker 1: listening should take away from it, which is it's not 1723 01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,679 Speaker 1: a yes or no, it's a yes or a lesson. 1724 01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:04,479 Speaker 1: And so sometimes the lessons are more valuable than if 1725 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,320 Speaker 1: you got that contractor you got that client years ago 1726 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,200 Speaker 1: because the lesson taught you to never walk into a 1727 01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,320 Speaker 1: situation like that again. And so sometimes that lesson can 1728 01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:15,320 Speaker 1: be way more valuable than getting what you want in 1729 01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:15,719 Speaker 1: the moment. 1730 01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:33,880 Speaker 2: A couple more of these before we get to the 1731 01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,519 Speaker 2: final five. This one's great. What's the right way to 1732 01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:40,200 Speaker 2: talk about your strengths without over selling or apologizing? 1733 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,840 Speaker 1: So I like to sprinkle in You can call them 1734 01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:47,679 Speaker 1: testimonials or like subtle ways to flex. Right, I subtly 1735 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,320 Speaker 1: threw it in there, but then extrapolated a lesson from 1736 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:53,679 Speaker 1: it that pertains to the other person. Because people don't 1737 01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:56,160 Speaker 1: care about your flex, they care about what your flex 1738 01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,559 Speaker 1: can do for them, So you can use it, but 1739 01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:01,360 Speaker 1: use it as a lesson in order to provide value 1740 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:02,160 Speaker 1: to somebody else. 1741 01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:06,160 Speaker 2: Ego just always is such a turn off. Like I 1742 01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:09,360 Speaker 2: don't know, I generally just I struggle so much when 1743 01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:12,160 Speaker 2: someone I feel is egotistical. And the way I think 1744 01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 2: about the difference between confidence and ego is evidence and reflection. 1745 01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,360 Speaker 2: So it's like, if someone can give me evidence and 1746 01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,639 Speaker 2: they can reflect on the evidence to prove that it's 1747 01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,479 Speaker 2: real experience, Now it doesn't feel like a name drop 1748 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,439 Speaker 2: it doesn't feel like a number drop, which just feels 1749 01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:29,519 Speaker 2: like it's big dissasiyay. 1750 01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:31,760 Speaker 1: When people name drop, it's my least favorite thing. When 1751 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:35,719 Speaker 1: somebody name drops or says, you know all these different numbers, 1752 01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:39,080 Speaker 1: it is a literal indicator that they probably don't have 1753 01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:40,760 Speaker 1: the skills in order to do what I need them 1754 01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:43,280 Speaker 1: to do because they feel like they have to name 1755 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:44,920 Speaker 1: drop or they feel like they have to, you know, 1756 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,439 Speaker 1: show their numbers. I would also challenge that though, because 1757 01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:51,920 Speaker 1: it is a very fine line with when you're new 1758 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,439 Speaker 1: to a space, there's a lot of people that might 1759 01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:57,120 Speaker 1: not know who you are. So sometimes you know, the 1760 01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,760 Speaker 1: numbers that you've done for a company, or your experience 1761 01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:05,280 Speaker 1: will speak volumes and so nobody's gonna you know, sell 1762 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,639 Speaker 1: yourself like you will. So sometimes it's a fine line 1763 01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:10,519 Speaker 1: of not having ego, but it's also a line of 1764 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:14,320 Speaker 1: like being loud about your accomplishments when they are valid, 1765 01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:17,799 Speaker 1: and like shouting it from the rooftops because you deserved 1766 01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:19,360 Speaker 1: it if you worked for it. But it is a 1767 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:20,360 Speaker 1: very fine line. 1768 01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:25,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, which sales call or sales deal challenged you the most? 1769 01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:31,360 Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great question. Okay, So I was talking 1770 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:36,599 Speaker 1: to I was talking to a gay guy. Okay, love 1771 01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 1: talking to gay guys. So fun like it was very girls, 1772 01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:43,639 Speaker 1: girl of vibe energy. He was awesome, Okay. He keeps 1773 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,280 Speaker 1: giving me the spouse objection. I keep rolling it. Blah 1774 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:50,320 Speaker 1: blah blah. Keeps giving me the spouse objection. I'm like, okay, fine, 1775 01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,599 Speaker 1: we keep rolling it. Then his spouse walks in the frame, 1776 01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,599 Speaker 1: sits down. I'm talking to spouse and spouse again, okay. 1777 01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:58,599 Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, awesome. Now I know the other 1778 01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 1: spouse is the decision maker. Kind of turn the attention 1779 01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:03,879 Speaker 1: of the sale towards him because I know the decision 1780 01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:05,840 Speaker 1: lies in his hands, right, that's what you need to do. 1781 01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:08,880 Speaker 1: Then I'm talking to him. He goes, I need to 1782 01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:12,000 Speaker 1: talk to my husband.

Like what's 1786 01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,679 Speaker 1: the issue. And so I, you know, direct to him. 1787 01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,840 Speaker 1: He says, I need to talk to my husband. I 1788 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,720 Speaker 1: redirect to him. He goes, no, I really need to 1789 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:30,040 Speaker 1: talk to my husband.

But let me tell you the 1792 01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,880 Speaker 1: way that I closed the deal, I sincere close them 1793 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:45,120 Speaker 1: and I go, you, guys, this is one for the books. 1794 01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,760 Speaker 1: I was like, I've never been in this situation, and 1795 01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:50,160 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna use someone probably the next person 1796 01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:51,559 Speaker 1: that comes up. You're gonna have to buy something at 1797 01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:53,800 Speaker 1: some point because you do have some issues. I want 1798 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:56,160 Speaker 1: that person to be me. I've never sold a throuble 1799 01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,800 Speaker 1: before in my life. Like, I would die to be 1800 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,439 Speaker 1: able to go tell my bost my coworkers that I 1801 01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,760 Speaker 1: just had this experience. Would you guys please allow me 1802 01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,519 Speaker 1: just the glory of having, you know, my first thrup 1803 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:08,640 Speaker 1: will sale. And they still send me Christmas cards to 1804 01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:12,519 Speaker 1: this Day's kind of a funny sale. But I was 1805 01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,040 Speaker 1: so backwards. I was mad at them because I was like, 1806 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,000 Speaker 1: I thought you were the decision, but it's you, But 1807 01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:19,600 Speaker 1: it's you, but it's you. Wait, they're not here with 1808 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 1: that incredible It was pretty creative. I was actually speechless. 1809 01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:28,519 Speaker 2: You're pretty much prepared, like because obviously that's something you'd 1810 01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:32,559 Speaker 2: never be careful. You're pretty much prepared, oh yeah, for 1811 01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:34,800 Speaker 2: any direction it can go. And when you're training people. 1812 01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 2: You're training them in sales, training for every scenario possible. 1813 01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,720 Speaker 1: That yeah, so you have to train like things are 1814 01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:42,919 Speaker 1: going to go wrong. You have to train for payments 1815 01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,680 Speaker 1: link payment links not working, you have to train for 1816 01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,360 Speaker 1: your zoom maybe crashing. You have to train for different objections, 1817 01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:53,360 Speaker 1: different scenarios, if they need to call their bank, like 1818 01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,080 Speaker 1: different things. You just need to preempt them rather than 1819 01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:59,040 Speaker 1: waiting for some monstrosity to happen and then you attack it. 1820 01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 1: Then in there like you always need to preempt every 1821 01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,760 Speaker 1: sort of objection, and so then the follow up question 1822 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:08,640 Speaker 1: is probably like how do you preempt objections? Well, you 1823 01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 1: kind of get key indicators from someone you're talking about. 1824 01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:13,400 Speaker 1: So if I'm talking to a girl, we'll call her Stacy, 1825 01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:15,960 Speaker 1: and Stacy's wearing like a fat rock on her finger. 1826 01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 1: I know Stacy's married, right, So later on into the call, 1827 01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,760 Speaker 1: she might give me the spouse objection, or she might 1828 01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:27,920 Speaker 1: be saying words like we when we did this us Okay, 1829 01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,080 Speaker 1: there's probably someone else in the picture that's not on 1830 01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,200 Speaker 1: the call. I might ask Stacy like, have you ever 1831 01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:35,360 Speaker 1: signed up for something like this in the past, And 1832 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,160 Speaker 1: if she did, okay, were you the one that made 1833 01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:38,960 Speaker 1: the decision or is there anyone else you know in 1834 01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,240 Speaker 1: the picture for that. If there is anyone else in 1835 01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:42,679 Speaker 1: the picture, you got to get them on the call. 1836 01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:46,240 Speaker 1: But if not easy, you just preempted the objection. So 1837 01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:50,080 Speaker 1: you always plan for things. And that's just that's how 1838 01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:52,920 Speaker 1: a well funneled sale works. Everybody thinks that sales is 1839 01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:56,000 Speaker 1: overcoming every objection in the book ten times over with 1840 01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:59,880 Speaker 1: every client. It's not. It's just creating a trusted by 1841 01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:04,120 Speaker 1: atmosphere and true rapport with someone and just a good 1842 01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:07,120 Speaker 1: energy around the sale that makes it so easy for 1843 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:08,200 Speaker 1: someone to say. 1844 01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:11,240 Speaker 2: Us, Yeah, why do you think we're all so like 1845 01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:14,960 Speaker 2: ready to save up for a month to buy a bag, 1846 01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:18,200 Speaker 2: but struggle to invest in ourselves. 1847 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,960 Speaker 1: Right, it's because you're worried about what everybody else thinks. 1848 01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:25,240 Speaker 1: You're shifting perception from how do I feel about myself 1849 01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:28,439 Speaker 1: to how do other people feel about me? Because buying 1850 01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:30,240 Speaker 1: a bag, I mean, if you want to buy a bag, 1851 01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:32,080 Speaker 1: you can do that, right, like if it makes you 1852 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,200 Speaker 1: feel good, like I love buying designer, like if it 1853 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,599 Speaker 1: makes you feel good. But buying it just for other 1854 01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,400 Speaker 1: people when you have other priorities is where it becomes 1855 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:42,559 Speaker 1: an issue, like I never bought designer until maybe like 1856 01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,559 Speaker 1: a year ago, even though I could. It's just I 1857 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,439 Speaker 1: had so many other things I wanted to check off. 1858 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:51,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to do rental properties, networking events, hire mentors, 1859 01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,639 Speaker 1: move like. There were so many other things that mattered 1860 01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:58,160 Speaker 1: to me more than just worrying about other people's perceptions. 1861 01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:02,080 Speaker 1: Because nobody's really thinking about you as much as you think. 1862 01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:06,080 Speaker 1: It's a there's a metaphor. It's called like the invisible 1863 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:07,960 Speaker 1: guest at a wedding. Like you show up to a 1864 01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:09,720 Speaker 1: wedding and you want your hair to be perfect. You're 1865 01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:11,640 Speaker 1: worried about what dress to wear, You're worried about the 1866 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:15,519 Speaker 1: conversations that you're having with people when everybody's thinking that, yeah, 1867 01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:17,479 Speaker 1: and you'll probably never see a lot of these people again. 1868 01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,559 Speaker 1: So you're so in your head, but so is everybody else, 1869 01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:24,640 Speaker 1: And so in somebody else's perception, you are just the 1870 01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:28,479 Speaker 1: invisible wedding guest. They won't remember you, So why worry 1871 01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:31,000 Speaker 1: about If every single word is going to be perfect, 1872 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:34,519 Speaker 1: and you can carry that into everything In sales, nobody 1873 01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,200 Speaker 1: knows what you're supposed to say. They don't know your script. 1874 01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,040 Speaker 1: If you mess up, you just roll with it. You 1875 01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:42,320 Speaker 1: keep going like this podcast, I don't want to be perfect. 1876 01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:44,680 Speaker 1: If I was perfect, I would be AI and I 1877 01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:47,439 Speaker 1: wouldn't be relatable to people. So just know that, you 1878 01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:50,760 Speaker 1: know some sort of respect of I don't have to 1879 01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:53,800 Speaker 1: be perfect. In fact, it's better if I'm not perfect. 1880 01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:56,160 Speaker 1: That is what makes you human, and that is what 1881 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,479 Speaker 1: makes your story so amazing to inspire other people. 1882 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:02,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely absolute. And also I just feel like, I 1883 01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:04,920 Speaker 2: guess what I was getting at was this idea of 1884 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:08,600 Speaker 2: we don't even know we're being sold by most of 1885 01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:11,599 Speaker 2: the people that are selling to us, Like there are 1886 01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:15,120 Speaker 2: just certain life choices we feel we made independently, but 1887 01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:17,400 Speaker 2: we were all sold on what it meant. 1888 01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:18,160 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. 1889 01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:21,439 Speaker 2: And but when it comes to investing in ourselves, building 1890 01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:25,639 Speaker 2: our skills, learning, it's almost like we're scared to part 1891 01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:28,240 Speaker 2: with our hard end money because it feels in some 1892 01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:29,479 Speaker 2: way like we're being sold to. 1893 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,880 Speaker 1: Well, investing into yourself is one of the most freeing 1894 01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:34,679 Speaker 1: things that you can do if it's something that will 1895 01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:36,639 Speaker 1: give you an ROI. There's obviously a lot of things 1896 01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:39,479 Speaker 1: that you probably shouldn't invest into, but if you have 1897 01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:42,879 Speaker 1: a clear goal, you should feel super confident in investing 1898 01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:46,879 Speaker 1: in yourself if it qualifies for ROI return on investment, 1899 01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,840 Speaker 1: if you can be super clear about if I put 1900 01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,679 Speaker 1: this amount of money in, what will I get out 1901 01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:55,160 Speaker 1: and what doors will that unlock for me? If you 1902 01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:58,280 Speaker 1: can feel good about that give and take, then you 1903 01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,000 Speaker 1: should make the decision for yourself. And I think the 1904 01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:03,240 Speaker 1: tables are kind of turning in a lot of ways 1905 01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:06,080 Speaker 1: with younger people because I think a lot of people 1906 01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:09,120 Speaker 1: love investing in themselves. They love buying an outfit to 1907 01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:10,880 Speaker 1: wear to an interview because it makes them feel a 1908 01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,439 Speaker 1: little bit more confident. Like I think we're kind of 1909 01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:16,800 Speaker 1: shifting away from, you know, the stigma around oh, you 1910 01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:20,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't spend money on yourself, right, I think we're shifting 1911 01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:22,200 Speaker 1: away from that. So I'm very happy for that era. 1912 01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:25,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Shelby, You're awesome. This is so much fun. 1913 01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,880 Speaker 2: I learned so much. I think my audience learned so much. 1914 01:29:28,920 --> 01:29:31,080 Speaker 2: And I know, like you just said, you just recorded 1915 01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 2: a six hour sales training for free for YouTube. So 1916 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,519 Speaker 2: I'm excited for people to go subscribe to you channels, 1917 01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:39,840 Speaker 2: follow you on Instagram, on YouTube, everywhere else. We end 1918 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,320 Speaker 2: every episode of On Purpose with a final five. These 1919 01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:45,719 Speaker 2: have to be answered in one word or one sentence maximum. Okay, 1920 01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 2: so Shelby, these are your final five. Question Number one, 1921 01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:52,160 Speaker 2: what is the best advice you've ever heard or received? 1922 01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:55,880 Speaker 1: To go as fast as possible, never slow down. 1923 01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:58,040 Speaker 2: I like that. No one's ever said that. 1924 01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:03,439 Speaker 1: I can't elaborate, you can go. Everybody always says, you know, 1925 01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:09,000 Speaker 1: take it slow, you have time, you deserve a break, 1926 01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:14,160 Speaker 1: like just chill, when in reality you don't. You literally 1927 01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:18,160 Speaker 1: have no time. There is urgency. You need to use 1928 01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:22,479 Speaker 1: every single waking moment to strategize what you want out 1929 01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:24,599 Speaker 1: of this life, and then as soon as you're clear 1930 01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:27,960 Speaker 1: on it, work yourself backwards. And the cool thing is 1931 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,640 Speaker 1: when you're clear on your goal, that urgency does kick in. 1932 01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:32,479 Speaker 1: If you're like, I don't have the urgency. When you 1933 01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:35,160 Speaker 1: know exactly what you want, the urgency kicks in because 1934 01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:37,640 Speaker 1: you're like, well, how fast can I get there? And 1935 01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:40,679 Speaker 1: don't go with other people's timelines. Just because some people 1936 01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:43,160 Speaker 1: have what you want by forty five doesn't mean you 1937 01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:44,599 Speaker 1: have to wait till you're forty five to have it. 1938 01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:46,920 Speaker 1: You can literally give it to yourself now if you 1939 01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,000 Speaker 1: just work really hard and go fast. 1940 01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,679 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, said, uh, yeah, I feel like that idea 1941 01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:56,320 Speaker 2: of moving fast you will break things, but if you 1942 01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:58,320 Speaker 2: didn't move fast, you wouldn't have had the progress and 1943 01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:00,680 Speaker 2: the growth. And I can relate that I was. I 1944 01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:02,400 Speaker 2: was twenty eight when I started all of this, and 1945 01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:06,120 Speaker 2: we moved extremely fast in the last ten years. And 1946 01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:07,280 Speaker 2: when you're doing that. 1947 01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:10,280 Speaker 1: Chaotic and it's messy, but you learn as you go 1948 01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:11,439 Speaker 1: absolutely way to do it. 1949 01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:13,400 Speaker 2: Truly, and I think if we tried to go any slower, 1950 01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:17,120 Speaker 2: we wouldn't exist exactly. Yeah, I love that. 1951 01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,639 Speaker 1: I find the same for myself. In college, everybody told 1952 01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:21,760 Speaker 1: me to slow down or why are you doing this? 1953 01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:25,760 Speaker 1: And that, Like I got an accelerated master's degree and 1954 01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:29,040 Speaker 1: an honors finance degree, which don't use either of those. 1955 01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:31,880 Speaker 1: But again, like every single ounce of hard work that 1956 01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:34,320 Speaker 1: you put into yourself never goes to waste, right, I 1957 01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:37,640 Speaker 1: learned work ethic and whatever. But every summer that I 1958 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:40,759 Speaker 1: was doing that, I was knocking doors selling pest control 1959 01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:43,800 Speaker 1: in Minnesota heat to strangers. So it's like I was 1960 01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:46,400 Speaker 1: going so fast. I never had a second that I 1961 01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:49,960 Speaker 1: was just bored. And maybe that comes from trauma or whatever, 1962 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,640 Speaker 1: but I think that also just builds some sort of 1963 01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:55,280 Speaker 1: work ethic where you're like, there's so much urgency, like 1964 01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,400 Speaker 1: I need to go, Like there is nobody else that's 1965 01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:00,640 Speaker 1: going to save me right now. Nobody's gonna come in 1966 01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,639 Speaker 1: and build your life for you. You need to go, 1967 01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:06,920 Speaker 1: and everybody in your life is gonna tell you slow down, 1968 01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,960 Speaker 1: take a break. Oh you're doing so good. Why don't 1969 01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:13,360 Speaker 1: you just be happy here? It's because your speed and 1970 01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:16,479 Speaker 1: your growth makes their lack of growth and lack of 1971 01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:19,880 Speaker 1: speed feel inferior. That's the only thing it means. And 1972 01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:22,160 Speaker 1: so you're making them feel uncomfortable because of how much 1973 01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:23,960 Speaker 1: you're doing in such a short amount of time. So 1974 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:25,960 Speaker 1: you need to be able to filter out, like what 1975 01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,160 Speaker 1: other people are saying about you and why they're saying that. 1976 01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:30,240 Speaker 1: Take it for face value, you know, you don't need 1977 01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:32,960 Speaker 1: to attack it, but just know, if you have goals 1978 01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:37,479 Speaker 1: and priorities, why have it take ten years, If you 1979 01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:41,160 Speaker 1: could have a take two literally, why you might as 1980 01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:44,759 Speaker 1: well do it now. And especially if like a woman's 1981 01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:49,000 Speaker 1: watching this that doesn't have kids yet, you need to 1982 01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:53,680 Speaker 1: go now. Your day is all about you, you know, 1983 01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:56,639 Speaker 1: if you don't have other kids, other people in your 1984 01:32:56,680 --> 01:33:00,000 Speaker 1: life to tend to you, have so much free time, 1985 01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:04,240 Speaker 1: time that you can put into yourself and go as 1986 01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:07,639 Speaker 1: fast as possible in speed run it because as soon 1987 01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:09,599 Speaker 1: as like, if you want to grow a family one day, 1988 01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:12,040 Speaker 1: you've got a lot of other stuff to do and 1989 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:14,439 Speaker 1: you're probably gonna be like, damn, why didn't I do 1990 01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:16,680 Speaker 1: all this side hustle things or extra learning on the 1991 01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:19,520 Speaker 1: side when I had the free time to do so. 1992 01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:21,400 Speaker 1: So it's a very finite amount of time where you 1993 01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:24,439 Speaker 1: can go fast and you need to take advantage of it. 1994 01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:28,840 Speaker 2: Absolutely. Wow, that was That was a very motivational thank you. 1995 01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:30,120 Speaker 1: You're like, what am I going to do? Yeah? 1996 01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:34,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not even a woman, and that was I was. 1997 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:35,599 Speaker 2: I got me right though. 1998 01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:39,040 Speaker 1: Men and women, Yeah, I know you yeah yeah. 1999 01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:43,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree. I agree. My mentor who I 2000 01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:46,160 Speaker 2: forget how old he is now, but he was like 2001 01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:50,120 Speaker 2: good no, no, no, no, no, no, like that I 2002 01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:53,400 Speaker 2: was when I was twenty eight, he was like fifty five. 2003 01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:55,960 Speaker 2: So I'm ten years old. So he's like sixty five 2004 01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:58,519 Speaker 2: and he'st always told me. He was like, Jay, before 2005 01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:01,960 Speaker 2: you have kids, you can move two hundred for sure. 2006 01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,960 Speaker 2: Put your foot down on the pedal, like, do everything 2007 01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:08,320 Speaker 2: for sure. And he was absolutely right, Like, he's absolutely right, 2008 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,760 Speaker 2: Like it was just for the past ten years, I've 2009 01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:12,880 Speaker 2: had my foot down on the gas. Yeah, I don't 2010 01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:14,080 Speaker 2: regret a second exactly. 2011 01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:16,720 Speaker 1: The best things you've built a foundation. You built more 2012 01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:19,280 Speaker 1: than just a foundation, but it's right you built it. 2013 01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:21,840 Speaker 1: And so now like when you are able to have kids, 2014 01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:24,280 Speaker 1: you can like enjoy that and be a little bit 2015 01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,880 Speaker 1: more present and not have to work out of survival. 2016 01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:30,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Question number two, what is the worst advice you 2017 01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:31,639 Speaker 2: ever had or received? 2018 01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:36,920 Speaker 1: Finish your master's program? Yeah, I got a master's degree 2019 01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:37,599 Speaker 1: by twenty two. 2020 01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:38,439 Speaker 2: What was your muster? 2021 01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:39,280 Speaker 1: Is it business? 2022 01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:39,719 Speaker 2: Wow? 2023 01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:42,759 Speaker 1: Yeah? So it was in business development, but it didn't 2024 01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:45,360 Speaker 1: really do much. We had a teacher. It was like 2025 01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:47,599 Speaker 1: you have four different types of teachers for the four 2026 01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:50,280 Speaker 1: different types of business. One of them was sales and negotiation. 2027 01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:52,639 Speaker 1: And I was in door to door sales, like making 2028 01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:55,200 Speaker 1: a ton of money, like loved it. And this professor 2029 01:34:55,280 --> 01:35:00,000 Speaker 1: was teaching the most menial like kindergarten level sales tax 2030 01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:03,400 Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is what people are teaching you. Like, 2031 01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,760 Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said when you are 2032 01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:09,640 Speaker 1: someone that is in a situation, whether that be a 2033 01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:13,200 Speaker 1: job or school or a program, and you kind of 2034 01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:16,080 Speaker 1: look around and you don't feel like you belong, but 2035 01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:19,240 Speaker 1: in a good way. I think it's good to notice that, 2036 01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:21,880 Speaker 1: acknowledge it, and like if you still want to finish it, 2037 01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:23,200 Speaker 1: just to be able to say you did, like, I 2038 01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:27,000 Speaker 1: think that's important. But it's also like, don't follow that 2039 01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,879 Speaker 1: path then if you know that you're better than everybody 2040 01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:32,880 Speaker 1: else around you in a non egotistical way, but you 2041 01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:36,120 Speaker 1: just know you're special, you know you're destined for more 2042 01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:39,400 Speaker 1: than what you're doing right now, that that's okay. And 2043 01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the people when they told me, 2044 01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, just do things the normal way, why are 2045 01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:47,760 Speaker 1: you trying so hard? It's like those people now are 2046 01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:50,920 Speaker 1: in a position where they're asking me for advice, and 2047 01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,639 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, there's not really much advice to give 2048 01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:56,639 Speaker 1: because we both started off at the same exact playing field. 2049 01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,400 Speaker 1: It's just some people go really fricking fast and try 2050 01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:03,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of different things out and not everything worked out, 2051 01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:06,120 Speaker 1: and I had to sacrifice nights, I had to sacrifice friendships, 2052 01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:08,040 Speaker 1: I had to sacrifice you know, going out or whatever. 2053 01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:13,200 Speaker 1: But it's worth it, so yeah, I wouldn't have finished 2054 01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:14,880 Speaker 1: my master's program. If I know what I know now, 2055 01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:16,240 Speaker 1: but I mean, god, I did it. 2056 01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:22,080 Speaker 2: That's cool question. I'm befoll Can everyone be good at 2057 01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:25,200 Speaker 2: sales or are certain people just not meant for it? 2058 01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:27,960 Speaker 1: Everybody thinks you need to be extroverted in order to 2059 01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:30,320 Speaker 1: be good at sales, and that's actually false. And I'm 2060 01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:32,760 Speaker 1: not saying introverts are better than extroverts, even though a 2061 01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:35,000 Speaker 1: lot of introverts do do well in sales because you 2062 01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:38,000 Speaker 1: can build that empathy. But it all comes down to 2063 01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:42,479 Speaker 1: internal motivation of I will do what I need to 2064 01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:46,000 Speaker 1: do right now, even if nobody's watching, which means on 2065 01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:48,519 Speaker 1: a sales call, people are going to tell you no, 2066 01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,040 Speaker 1: Are you going to sit there and roll a couple 2067 01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:53,120 Speaker 1: objections with them? Are you going to sit there and 2068 01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,000 Speaker 1: even though it's a little uncomfy, are you going to 2069 01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:56,639 Speaker 1: do what you need to do in order to move 2070 01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:59,479 Speaker 1: the conversation forward? Or at the end of your day, 2071 01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:01,880 Speaker 1: are you satisfied or are you going to send out 2072 01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:03,800 Speaker 1: some follow up emails? Are you going to text a 2073 01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:05,559 Speaker 1: couple of clients from the day before to make sure 2074 01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,160 Speaker 1: you pick up every single deal that you possibly can. 2075 01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:11,880 Speaker 1: And those people, I would boil it down into one word, 2076 01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:17,559 Speaker 1: and that's hunger. You need to be hungry, like you 2077 01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:22,959 Speaker 1: need to be maniacal in your work, ethic and gritty. 2078 01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:26,880 Speaker 1: That's who succeeds in sales is who wants it the 2079 01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:29,320 Speaker 1: most and who does the most in order to get it. 2080 01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:32,280 Speaker 2: What do people do when they just feel lazy stuck? 2081 01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:35,400 Speaker 2: Maybe they've just wasted a bit of time and they've 2082 01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:36,759 Speaker 2: kind of developed bad habits. 2083 01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:40,960 Speaker 1: I always ask her, what's your morning routine? What are 2084 01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:43,640 Speaker 1: you doing today? What did you do before? Did you 2085 01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:46,800 Speaker 1: stop doing the things outside of your sales job that 2086 01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:49,519 Speaker 1: made you so great to where you got a little 2087 01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:51,960 Speaker 1: too cocky, to where you say you thought to yourself, 2088 01:37:52,200 --> 01:37:54,160 Speaker 1: I don't need to show up to these trainings. I 2089 01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:57,479 Speaker 1: could skip a workout if I need. I don't need to, 2090 01:37:57,840 --> 01:37:59,559 Speaker 1: you know, get a little bit of extra advice about this. 2091 01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:01,640 Speaker 1: I don't need to rewatch my sales calls because I 2092 01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:04,920 Speaker 1: close everyone. But money is a lagging indicator. So if 2093 01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:06,720 Speaker 1: you stop doing the things that got you to be 2094 01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:09,240 Speaker 1: so great, it might not affect you that day, but 2095 01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,880 Speaker 1: it'll affect you in two months, and then you'll wake 2096 01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:13,400 Speaker 1: up one day and be like, weir, did it all 2097 01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:16,360 Speaker 1: go well? Because two months ago you stopped doing the 2098 01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:19,360 Speaker 1: things that made you great in the first place. So 2099 01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:23,120 Speaker 1: sales is all about being the best, Yes, But staying 2100 01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,920 Speaker 1: at the top is a big stressor as well, because 2101 01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:28,519 Speaker 1: you have to keep up with that level of pressure 2102 01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:31,120 Speaker 1: where everybody's looking at you and saying you're the best 2103 01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:34,040 Speaker 1: closer on our team, like what's your secrets? Blah blah blah, 2104 01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:38,000 Speaker 1: But also being humble enough to know that you could 2105 01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:40,519 Speaker 1: go down the line at any point in time, so 2106 01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:42,559 Speaker 1: you need to keep doing the things that got you there. 2107 01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:46,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. Good advice, Good advice. Fifth and final question, we 2108 01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:49,160 Speaker 2: asked this to every guest who's ever been on the show, Shelby. 2109 01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:51,559 Speaker 2: If you could create one law that everyone in the 2110 01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:53,280 Speaker 2: world had to follow, what would it be? 2111 01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:57,840 Speaker 1: The law that you have to use the cards that 2112 01:38:57,840 --> 01:38:59,920 Speaker 1: you were dealt. A lot of the times I see 2113 01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:04,320 Speaker 1: women specifically feel bad about an unfair advantage that they've 2114 01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:06,200 Speaker 1: been dealt, Like everybody has a deck of cards, right, 2115 01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:09,360 Speaker 1: and maybe one of your cards is you have family money, 2116 01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:11,519 Speaker 1: Like you've got daddy's money, Daddy did very well for 2117 01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:15,160 Speaker 1: himself and you are financially set. Okay, use that card 2118 01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:17,599 Speaker 1: and don't feel bad about it. Maybe one of your 2119 01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:21,400 Speaker 1: cards is you're really good at talking to people. Don't 2120 01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:23,880 Speaker 1: hump try to humble yourself by doing something outside of 2121 01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,920 Speaker 1: your skill set, Like take that unfair advantage and use it. 2122 01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:31,320 Speaker 1: Or maybe you're gorgeous, go model, Go put yourself in 2123 01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:34,080 Speaker 1: front of a camera and go viral, Like, use every 2124 01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:38,880 Speaker 1: single unfair advantage and don't ever feel bad about doing so. 2125 01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:41,559 Speaker 1: So the law would be, I guess, just yeah, you know, 2126 01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:43,639 Speaker 1: using all of the cards that you were dealt and 2127 01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:48,000 Speaker 1: not faking humility in order to, you know, play it fair. 2128 01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:49,960 Speaker 1: You don't have to play fair. Nobody else is playing fair, 2129 01:39:50,040 --> 01:39:52,040 Speaker 1: So do what you can to get ahead with the 2130 01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:52,960 Speaker 1: cards that you were dealt. 2131 01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:55,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well said Yeah, I think there's so many 2132 01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:59,280 Speaker 2: of us that totally do the opposite. Yeah, absolutely right, Well. 2133 01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:02,160 Speaker 1: I see a And I think it's cool too, though 2134 01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,240 Speaker 1: on one hand, because it's like, oh, you have family money, 2135 01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:05,519 Speaker 1: but you want to go make a name for yourself 2136 01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:08,599 Speaker 1: in a completely different facet like great. But also it's 2137 01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:12,320 Speaker 1: like a lot of people have so many advantages in 2138 01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:15,360 Speaker 1: their book and they don't realize that they have them. Yeah, yeah, 2139 01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:17,720 Speaker 1: you know, and it's like you do, you're just not 2140 01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,400 Speaker 1: focusing on it, or you're focusing on what's in somebody 2141 01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:23,120 Speaker 1: else's deck and you're not looking at yours, and you're 2142 01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:24,840 Speaker 1: not doing things in order to get more cards in 2143 01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:29,080 Speaker 1: your deck. Again, building these skills, building experience for yourself 2144 01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,479 Speaker 1: in order to have more cards that you can be dealt. 2145 01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:35,120 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of people just don't play 2146 01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:37,599 Speaker 1: the game of life to the full advantage that they could. 2147 01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:41,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, all said Shelby, thank you so much.
