0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>The first step I need you, guys all to write

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>this down. The first step in the sales process is

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>build rapport and bring down barriers. This is the most

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>important thing and you can't even get to any further

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>process in the sale until this is done. Until you

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 1>build rapport with them, until they like you as a person,

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>as soon as they feel like they can trust you,

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>as soon as they feel like you're not someone that's

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>just trying to take something from them, like they're hard

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>earned money. So that you can make a commission and

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>drive home in a very nice car is the moment

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>that you will get one step closer to the clothes.

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>But building report is the most important thing. And the

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>reason why is this picture right here, Danny DeVito. If

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>you guys have seen this movie Matilda, you know I

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.799
<v Speaker 1>saw this movie younger when I was growing up. And

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>immediately when someone thinks of a salesperson, this is what

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>they think of. This is the picture the sleazy car

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>salesman that's gonna sell me a piece of junk, take

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>my money, and I'll never see them again. Right in

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>their people's minds, right away, this is what salespeople are.

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Salespeople are here to take something away from you. Salespeople

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>are here to steal your money and pull the wool

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>over your eyes. That's not what sales is about, right,

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>But this is what people have in their mind. So

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to break the ice before I can sell

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you on something, before I can close you, before anything

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>I can do, I have to break the ice. And

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I want you to know that me and you are

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>we're on the same level. We're friends. You know, I'm

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>not here trying to sell you anything. I truly am not.

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I just want to educate you on this product and

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to show you how it's changed my life,

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>how I think it could change your life. And listen,

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>if by the time you want to leave, you know

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you want to get something great. But if not, no harm,

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>no foul. Like at least we've I met a great

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>person today and I can have a great conversation. Do

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you mind if I have them moment of your time

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>boom right into it? Breaking ice. One of the easiest

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>ways to break ice is complimenting somebody their shoes, their glasses,

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>a nice time piece, right That's an easy way. Like

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 1>I've seen somebody had a nice ap royal ocon while

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.919
<v Speaker 1>I was out here in Santorini. Right away, that's a

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>beautiful time piece you have there? Is that? Is that

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.479
<v Speaker 1>the blue dial boom right away? Oh yeah, of course.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh you have a good eye. You know, you start

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>having a conversation right away, you know, giving somebody a compliment,

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Just find just pick out one thing on a person,

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Analyze your client before you approach them, and just try

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 1>to start every conversation with a compliment. Something small. It

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>could be their outfit, it could be their shoes, it

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>could be their glasses. And like I said that right

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>there is like Okay, this person's actually a person. Oh

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you know you complimented me. Oh my guard is down.

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>You know. Now I can be sold to because I

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>don't have a wall up and I don't think that

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>you know you're trying to take something away from me.

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 1>You're a great person who just gave me a compliment.

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to be your friend. Thank you so much.

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, so let's go to the next clip. I

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>want to show you guys what people have in their

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 1>mind of their perception of what a salesperson actually looks like.

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:36.719
<v Speaker 1>All right, we can go to the next line. I

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>know we're running a little low on time right now,

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 1>but like I said, breaking down barriers is so important

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>because right away, that's how you're going to be able

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to enter the sale. If somebody thinks you're just trying

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>to take something away from them, the chance of you

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>closing them is going to be very slim to none. Right,

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to tell you guys a quick story, real quick.

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>This is one of my favorite sens that I wear

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and was one time I was walking in a mall

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>up here in Toronto, Canada, and I walked by this

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>this store called hol Renfer. It was similar to sacks

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>where they have you know, Louis Vuitton and Gucci and

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>all the top end brands. And there was a guy

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>selling per fume and I walked by and he said

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:21.559
<v Speaker 1>to me, tom Ford, tuscan leather smelling like a brick.

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>And when he said that to me, I'm just like,

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 1>is he was he just singing the Drake song? Or

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 1>did he Actually? This guy smelt my cologne and he

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>gave me a compliment right away. I was just like,

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>first of all, I'm from Toronto. I'm a Drake fan.

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>You know. I don't know if there was any Kendrick

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.479
<v Speaker 1>fans here in the chat, but we're not taking any

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Drake slander today, all right. But I say that to

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>say when he told me this, when he said this

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>line to me, automatically, my guard was down and I'm like, oh, bro,

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you. Notice that, like woo. And we had

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>a conversation, you know, and bro, he got a sale

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>from me because I actually enjoyed having a conversation with him,

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? And I liked him. And

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>this is somebody that he's my rep till this day.

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>He's somebody that's earned my business seven years ago. That

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I still maintained with today because he done a great

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>job selling me. He made me feel special, he gave

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>me a compliment, he let my guard down, and then

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 1>he showed me some exclusive stuff that I didn't even

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>know existed, right, and then from that moment he had

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>earned my business. Right. So I say that to say

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that when you're breaking down the barriers, you have to

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>understand you can compliment anything, and it doesn't have to

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 1>be a compliment. You could talk about the weather, or

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you could just smile, anything that you could do to

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>show that you're a human being and you're not a

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>vulture looking to take their money. All right, can we

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.239
<v Speaker 1>go to the next line. The second step is getting

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>to know your client. Okay, this is very very important

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of people they don't listen when they're selling.

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 1>They're just telling, oh, all the features, low kilometers, this,

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the house hard with the floor is boom boom boom.

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Like a lot of people are just selling, selling, selling,

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>selling selling selling. But if you don't understand someone's why,

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>if you don't understand their reason, why, how could you

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>sell them to someone? Right? If somebody is looking for

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>some real estate for me, and I know that you know,

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>they're just looking for an investment property. I might present

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>them something that shows that has cash flow every month,

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:38.559
<v Speaker 1>like an Airbnb me trying to sell him a family

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>residence home, you know, for three million dollars. It's not

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 1>going to work because that's not his reason why. He's

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>not looking for some word for to settle with his family.

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>His reason why is I want to make some extra

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>cash flow right now so I can buy a new

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Mercedes for my wife. That's my reason why. Okay, So

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>if I understand your reason why, I know how to

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>sell to you, and that is key. So you have

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>to listen to understand, and in this moment here, you

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>have to properly qualify, so you're asking the right questions. Okay, well,

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, how long have you been in the market

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>for a house? You know you did you get a

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>pre approval yet by any chance? You know, just asking

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>questions to make sure you're actually even talking to somebody

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 1>that's going to buy from you, because a lot of

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>salespeople will spend a lot of time and energy talking

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.959
<v Speaker 1>to people that are not going to ever buy right

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>because you haven't properly qualified somebody. Right, So this sales

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>journey is there's a school bus there for a reason,

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>because you're the bus driver. At the end of the day, right,

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.199
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be stops along the route. But if

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 1>you do your job, you will get from a destination

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>A to destination B and at the end will be

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>a sign, a check, a swipe, an insert, whatever it is.

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>You will close that transaction. So that is very important.

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 1>So as we move along to the next slide, when

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.679
<v Speaker 1>the third step is it's called kiss. It's very simple,

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>keep it super simple, keep it simple, stupid, whatever you

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>want to call it. Kiss. The most systems work best

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>if they are kept simple rather than made complicated. This

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 1>is one of the many reasons that Apple has crushed

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Android and obliterated BlackBerry is because it was simple, right

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's when it came in, it was a simple solution.

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>You paid for your food and you got it in

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>three to four minutes or quicker, sometimes even thirty seconds. Right.

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>But you have to understand in business you're trying to

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.079
<v Speaker 1>solve a problem, but in sales you want to keep

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 1>it as simple as possible. When you're selling and educating

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>a client, you want to do it with as few

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>ast words as possible, and you don't want to confuse people,

0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>because at the end of the day, people have ego, right,

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:04.079
<v Speaker 1>and if somebody doesn't understand something, they might just nod

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and say yeah, but they don't actually understand. And if

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>they don't understand, they're not buying anything from you, right,

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.439
<v Speaker 1>So you have to make sure that when you're communicated,

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>when you're selling, it's something that they can understand.

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 3>An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.439
<v Speaker 3>in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.840
<v Speaker 3>accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 3>filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 3>some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.680
<v Speaker 3>crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 3>one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 3>are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 3>one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 3>never return. But if you register using our CBP home

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.079
<v Speaker 3>app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump America's laws,

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 3>border and families will be protected.
