β€” SAMPLE EMAIL TO EXPENSE THE COURSE

MGR,

Β 

I have been listening to the brutal truth about sales podcast for X months and it speaks to the issues we face.

Β 

They currently offer a course that includes video instruction, group Q&A and One-on-One coaching. I'm committed to my own personal development and

would like your help in expensing the course.

Β 

It would pay for itself if I closed only one new deal of $X value.

Β 

Please let me know by Friday if I can move forward with this 1 year course.

Β 

Thanks,

ME

And sales, we're all want to develop and perfect our superpower.

0:06.1

Now, what superpower would you like in sales?

0:09.5

Most people would probably think it's charm where people come to you.

0:13.4

That'd be nice.

0:14.8

But if you can't have that, what else would you like?

0:18.3

How about the ability to read someone else's mind, to connect with

0:24.0

somebody else, to be empathetic, to understand where they are, what they're up against, what they're

0:31.4

facing, what problems they have and what they want to solve? Instead of expecting people to come to us, that'd be nice,

0:41.0

but that's becoming increasingly harder. What we do have control over is meeting people where

0:48.4

they are, what they're going through, what they're facing and what they want to solve And that's what we're going to be talking about today.

0:56.3

Empathy is that ability.

1:00.0

And I think it's a skill that is advanced because we're not born with it.

1:27.3

is a reaction. We want something, we ask for it. But that's not

1:32.4

what selling is. That's trying to get people to come to us. And so many people out there try

1:37.7

and scream louder and louder. Look at me. Instead of, how can I help you? How can I give to you? And we tend to think that we'll do

1:50.6

that after someone gives to us, but that's not how the world works because everybody's at

1:57.1

that. It's a stalemate. Everybody's waiting for somebody else to give. Nobody gives, nothing gets done.

2:04.8

Today's interview, I think you're really going to enjoy it. Be open-minded. Ask yourself,

2:10.0

how can I apply this to what I do? How can I learn how to do it? How can I become better at it? It is what I teach in a step-by-step
