| 0:00.0 | Real quick, guys, if you can think about how you found this podcast, somebody probably |
| 0:03.8 | tweeted it, told you about it, shared it on Instagram, or something like that. |
| 0:07.5 | The only way this grows is through word of mouth. And so I don't run ads, I don't do sponsorships, |
| 0:12.2 | I don't sell anything. My only ask is that you continue to pay it forward, do whoever showed you, |
| 0:16.4 | or however you found out about this podcast that you do the exact same thing. So if it was a review, |
| 0:21.0 | if it was a post, if you do that, it would mean the world to me and you'll throw some good comment |
| 0:24.3 | out there for another entrepreneur. Coming from downtown Austin. I am... I've been... |
| 0:29.9 | Sort of like this content piece has been bogged, you know, ping ponging in my head for a while, |
| 0:37.4 | and either it's going to turn out really, really epic, or it will be really not epic, but hopefully |
| 0:42.2 | it's epic. So I'm calling this the three horsemen of the sales apocalypse, which are the only three |
| 0:47.0 | obstacles that you will ever need to overcome. Now, I contemplated making this super super, super, |
| 0:53.9 | super tactical, but like I have probably 20 overcomes for each one of these things that are like, |
| 0:59.0 | here's a paragraph, and this is the line of reasoning behind it, but I thought it might be more |
| 1:02.6 | valuable for you to kind of understand the theory behind each one of them, because once you |
| 1:05.6 | understand the theory behind each obstacle and what you're really overcoming, then it's the |
| 1:11.2 | difference between executing, you know, cooking a recipe and being a chef, right? Like a line cook |
| 1:17.2 | just follows the steps and the recipe, and then they can reproduce what the chef is making. |
| 1:20.8 | So if you were trying to be a chef of sales, then understanding these three things at a theoretical |
| 1:26.6 | level will help you continue to develop new things, new overcomes that are specific to how you talk |
| 1:32.4 | and your personality and your facility trainers, etc. Okay? So for those of you who don't know, |
| 1:38.0 | the three main obstacles that you have to overcome in any sale, not overcome, but that can come up |
| 1:43.4 | in a sale. And this is typically when someone, when you have not provided a sufficient gap, |
