Key Takeaways:
~ Hard work and perseverance are what will get you ahead in life; problem solvers rule the world. Golden Rule: treat people the way you want to be treated. Platinum Rule: If you treat people better than they expected you to treat them, it will not only benefit them, but it will also benefit you along the way. ~ [05:08]
~ When we show up in conversations because our brains are wired for self-preservation, we communicate from our highest training, knowledge and experience because we don’t want to come across as not credible. So, we tap into the things we think we’re the smartest and most knowledgable about, which tend to be the things that are us-driven and our agenda. In sales, these tend to be the things we’ve been training the most on, which are our product facts, features, figures and benefits. They activate the analytical network of the person receiving the information, which triggers the evaluation, comparison, analysis, skepticism, judgement and reverence, which puts us in a defensive posture. You’ve to bypass the analytical network to activate the emotional network to build things like personal trust, authenticity, honesty, vulnerability and all the things that connect us as humans. Once that is established in the brain, it opens up the analytical network to think about what we’re saying in a different lens, look for reasons to support what we’re saying and do business with us. ~ [16:59]
It is about what they care about, not what you care about. ~ [32:31]
~You don’t have to be right; you just have to be prepared… Give your prospect a story and ask them to react, give them a problem and ask them to react. ~ [37:50]
