Bonus notes from Eric Lofholm's presentation by Arlene Gray AG Consulting
There is nothing more powerful than a good idea whose time has come.
For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards. - Jim Rohn
What is the value of 1 sale? what is the lifetime value of a customer? (repeat sales and referrals
3 Golden Nuggets
1. Mind Movie (dream board of what I want to create in my life) - use PowerPoint, automate it, add music
2. Train the Trainer - apply it, then teach it to someone else
3. Best Ideas (create a word file and just list any best idea)
4. Email Swipe File - build your list - label a folder called "swipe file". when i receive an email with great wording or an idea, save it on the "swipe file"
Dr. Donald Moine (Eric's mentor)
Selling is a learned skill
look for people who are experts in the areas you want to learn and hang around them
inner game & outer game
we become what we think about - Earl Nightingale
when 2 ppl meet, the most certain (in most cases) will influence the other person
certainty and confidence are key
most people wing their presentations - they get wing-it results. prepare in advance, role-play the presentation
prediction is a form of power
write down your "close" word for word then ask if this is the most powerful way to close keep reviewing and rewriting it
Focus on Revenue Producing Activities
- use leading language - tell them what they're going to say, then lead them to say it
Fear, panic & worry do not produce revenue. - Eric Lofholm
3 Ways to Elevate your Sales Results
1. Inner game - mind set
2. Outer game - "how to's of selling"
3. Action - see more people
have a track to run on - what is the sales activity of your business - get clear on your plan to stay focused. it can be activity based or results based (Ben Feldman - sell 3 policies per week)
3 Key Systems to Grow Any Business
1. Lead Generation
2. Appointment setting
3. Lead conversion
Embracing Sales Conversation
- goal is to achieve your ultimate financial goal
- selling is just a skill set
- closing is asking for a commitment
- change begins in language - things only have the meaning we give them
- selling = Service
- sell from honesty, integrity and compassion
- selling is about leading
