Summary

Too many people are messing up their sales by being sneaky instead of direct. In this masterclass, I break down what “sneaking up on the sale” means and why it’s a bad strategy. I share real experiences—pushy appointment setters, conference sales pitches, and those “let’s help each other” messages—that prove why this approach doesn’t work. If you want to sell effectively, you need to stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point. Let’s talk about how to do it the right way. Show Notes: [09:40]#1 When someone starts a conversation without telling you they're selling something, then suddenly tries to pitch you. [23:56]#2 When you're talking to someone who may not even understand what you're selling, but is persuaded into something they don’t really want.  [28:40]#3 When I sell, I make it clear from the start.

When you're selling something to someone who is not interested in buying, which means you are simply trying to sell them, you are not giving them the opportunity to buy.

0:09.2

There is a big difference between selling someone on a thing and giving them the opportunity to buy.

Work on your game. And I would highly recommend it to anybody that's trying to work on their game. Work on your fucking game. I think it's a good approach. It's a different approach, too. Hey, you, work on your game. Gave me something really good. Work on your game. Tryolday.com. And his philosophy makes a lot sense. Not only work on your game, perfect your craft. Work on your game. He knows how to communicate in such a fabulous way. I can't say it enough. Work on your game. You are now tuned into the show where you learned the discipline to show up day after day to do the work, the confidence to put yourself out there, boldly and authentically, and the mental

1:12.8

toughness to continue showing up, doing the work, putting yourself out there even when the success you've expected to achieve has yet to be achieved. And on top of all this, you get a huge dose of personal initiative. Dre, what is personal initiative? That is the go-getter energy that moves any one of us, including yourself, to go and make things happen instead of waiting for things

1:10.2

to happen. Then we put all this together into a series of frameworks, approaches, insights, strategies and techniques on underneath the umbrella of one unifying philosophy. And we call that philosophy, work on your game. My name is Drey Baldwin, also known as Dre All Day. And welcome to the show. And today's topic is, stop sneaking up on the sale. We're going to go right

1:45.1

into the material here. I think I'm going to keep trying. We did this for a little while. Then I stopped doing it. And I think we're going to go back to it going right into the content, without me giving the other commercial pieces. You want to learn more about what we're doing and how to get involved. Just go down to the description, wherever you'll listen to this and you can get all the information you need. And you will hear the ads in the midst of this episode. So all that,

1:45.1

let's get

2:04.8

right to it stop sneaking up on the sale now i may explain to you what sneaking up on the sale means

2:08.9

and this is something that actually i had several other topics several other episodes that i was planning

2:14.9

to record here for the work on your game masterclass and i just record them basically in order in which I come up with them. I actually came up with this one, this morning, the day that I'm recording it, not the same day that you're listening to it. And I bumped it to the top of the list because it's something that is fresh on my mind. And I want to talk about this one immediately because I see so many people violating this rule and it's really starting to get on my damn nerves. So I need to really bring this up and point it out. So we're going to address this one first and we get to other topics in subsequent days. I mean, you know, the show comes out every day so you all know the deal. I just want to move this one up because I'm thinking about it right now. What got me thinking about this was actually two or three things that have happened

2:51.4

over the last few days over the last couple weeks, as a matter of fact, I'll say. So one of them

2:57.4

was a company reached out to me offering some possible business financing. I'm open to business

3:03.3

financing. And they sent me an email saying, we need you to send us this and this some information. I sent them the information. Then the person who had reached out to me, I guess they're just like the person who is just like the appointment setter on the sales world. They called this person the setter. I guess they were the setter. They replied and said, thanks for this information, I'm going to have my colleague, this other person, different name, but the same email domain. I'm going to have them follow up with you and we scheduled you for a call tomorrow at 1230. That was the response from this person. This person sent me a pretty much a cold email. I'd had some communication with them back months ago, but it pretty much died up, dried up. They reached out to me pretty much cold and said, hey, we got some new options, et cetera, et cetera. Send us this. I sent them that they responded with a person C-Ced and said, we got to schedule for a call tomorrow with 1230. Well, first of all, I didn't even say that I wanted to do anything. I don't even know what they're offering me. And based on what I know about business financing, and you don't really need to have a conversation. I've secured tens of thousand dollars in business finance without even having a conversation with a human being multiple times.
