1
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.920
Welcome to the Impact Sales Podcast. I'm your host, Joe Beck,

2
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.039
the founder of The Sales Activist, and I am thrilled

3
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.920
to be with you here today Today we're going to

4
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.359
be talking about one of my favorite topics, and that

5
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.039
topic is how you can crush your sales goals. That's right,

6
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:40.039
crush your sales goals even without doing that much selling.

7
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.640
So before we get into that, let's talk about a

8
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.000
little bit about where we are this time of year.

9
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.320
So right around the time that this episode drops, we're

10
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.320
going to be about halfway through the month of January,

11
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.479
and I have one question for you. How is your

12
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.000
year starting out? Are you off to a fast start?

13
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.439
Are you struggling? Things happening quickly for you? You're having

14
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.079
a difficult time getting out of the gate this year. Well,

24
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.319
we jump in, we're going to take a quick break.

25
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:38.840
We'll be right back. Hi. This is Joe Beck with

26
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.959
the Sales Activist. Are you a coach, consultant, or entrepreneur

27
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.799
selling high ticket products or services and struggling to meet

28
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.439
your sales objectives? Does your calendar look like a barren

29
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.599
wasteland with little to no activity and even less in

30
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.480
your sales pipeline. Well, this sounds like you. I'd like

31
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.799
to help. For well over thirty four years and after

32
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.519
tens of thousands of live sales interactions and hundreds of

33
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:07.840
millions of dollars of closed sales transactions, I've developed a

34
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.599
proprietary sales system, the ISM System, and the ISM system

35
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.719
can show you how to triple your sales results in

36
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.199
six months or less, all without spending a single extra

37
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.080
dollar on advertising. To get the details, just text the

38
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.840
word sales to the number four oh nine five nine

39
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.759
seven three five five and you can jump on a

40
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.560
complimentary consultation where we'll talk all about sales and exactly

41
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.960

42
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.680
is Joe Beck with the Sales Activist. You don't have

43
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.280
to settle for average sales results. We'll talk to you soon,

44
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.520
oh Rid, and we're back with the Impact Sales Podcast.

45
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.400
I'm your host, Joe Beck, and we've got a great

46
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.639
one in store for you today. I mentioned it just

47
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.919
a minute ago, how you can crush your sales goals

48
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.759
even without doing a lot of selling. I get asked

49
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:09.000
by a lot of people about professional selling, meeting, reaching

50
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.840
and exceeding your sales goals, and how do you go

51
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:16.039
about doing that? And obviously that's a long winded answer,

52
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:17.319
the type of thing that you're not just going to

53
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:21.879
cover in one podcast episode or one small snippet of information.

54
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.919
But we're going to do our best today over the

55
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.439
next few minutes to kind of give you some really

56
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:32.120
high level, bulleted direction on how you can completely crush

57
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.680
your sales goals even if you don't do a lot

58
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.039
of selling, even if you don't feel your grade at selling,

59
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.400
even if you don't feel that you're a sales person. Right,

60
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.400
we're going to talk all about meeting and exceeding your

61
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.879
sales goals and crushing them for your benefits. So let's

62
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.080
first start with the basics. Let's just dig into something

63
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.280
that I think people really need to understand. I know

64
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.120
people have heard this, I've shared and I know many

65
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.840
people share this. There are really two facets to selling

66
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.120
that you really need to understand right. The first is

67
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.840
the art of selling. There's communication, there's personality, there's positioning.

68
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.719
There's this art to what you do as a salesperson.

69
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.319
No matter who you are, no matter what you sell,

70
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.480
there is an art component, and that's something that you

71
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.800
continually need to work on and refine and improve as

72
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.959
you go along. That's the art side. But the other

73
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.639
side of the equation, decide that a lot of people

74
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.959
either discount or don't pay enough attention to, is what

75
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.759
we call the science of selling. Now, the science of

76
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.279
selling are the numbers, the metrics, all the things that

77
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.720
you need to do to create opportunity for yourself when

78
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:48.040
you're selling and see to really be successful, to be elite,

79
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:52.720
to truly be elite, you need to master both. But

80
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.800
for you to get a fast start, for you to

81
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:59.680
really crush your sales goals, you absolutely positively need to

82
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.839
mask story. To control the science of selling, you need

83
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.480
to understand everything about your numbers. You need to understand

84
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.879
everything about all of your metrics, your conversion ratios, what

85
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.560
percentage of people that you do close or not close.

86
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.040
You need to understand those things inside and out if

87
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.319
you really want to crush your sales goals. See, the

88
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.240
more you master this science is selling, the more prospects

89
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.120
you have, the more leads you have, the more opportunities

90
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.040
you have, the easier it becomes to sell. Now, it

91
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.959
doesn't mean that these people are just all automatically going

92
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.000
to be clients, of course not. But you give yourself

93
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.360
more opportunity, you give yourself more of a chance. You

94
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:43.560
give yourself truly a greater opportunity to build momentum when

95
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:48.399
you have many more opportunities to win new business. And

96
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.800
to do that you really need to focus on a

97
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:52.439
couple of things. So today we're going to break what

98
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.079
those things down are really and focus on what you

99
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.519
need to be managing so you can start to build

100
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:05.279
story of the science side of your selling. So let's

101
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.720
break those things down. Now. How you do that, Number

102
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:12.519
one is by breaking things into smaller manageable elements. You

103
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.519
don't just think of the whole picture of the science

104
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.759
side of selling. You need to break it down into

105
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:25.360
individual elements, individual activity elements, things like emails, phone calls, messages, ads,

106
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.959
discovery calls, proposals, all the different moving parts that go

107
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:33.079
into selling closing opportunities. Right, you have to figure out

108
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.680
what all those pieces are, and they may look a

109
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.399
little different depending upon who you are and what you

110
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.160
do and what your specialty is or what your business is,

111
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.040
but you really need to break it down and look

112
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.720
at every single individual component. If you want to crush

113
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.360
your sales results, you need to look at all those

114
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.639
individual components and figure out what the things are that

115
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.120
you need to be doing. And you need to make

116
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.360
sure to really crush your goals that you break them

117
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:04.639
down into manageable elements so they're easier to understand, easier

118
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.399
to track, easier to stay on top of, and most importantly,

119
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.759
easier to analyze the trend that you're currently experiencing. So

120
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:14.560
you know, the bottom line is, if you have a

121
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.839
really big goal or sales objective for yourself, it's so

122
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.120
much easier for you if you chop that goal up

123
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:26.360
into smaller pieces, you know, daily or weekly pieces, so

124
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.560
you know exactly what it is that you need to do.

125
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.839
If you know based upon your experience that you need

126
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:37.600
to have ten meetings to generate three legitimate prospects to

127
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:42.240
generate one client, which is a very typical average. Okay,

128
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.720
whatever typical is very typical average. You know, ten opportunities,

129
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.639
three legitimate prospects, one of them becoming a client. Well,

130
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.600
then you can start to build an activity plan that's

131
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.920
going to get you where you need to go and

132
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.639
for you to be able to crush your goals. Man,

133
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:02.319
you better understand your numbers, better understand your metrics. You

134
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.319
better understand all the things that you need to do.

135
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.800
So before we start talking about how you do it,

136
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.079
which we're going to get into in a minute, I

137
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.360
thought it was important to start with you need to

138
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:19.439
master this science now. Over time, the art of selling,

139
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:24.959
your communication skills, your communication pattern, how you position things,

140
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.279
how you close will improve over time with repetition. It

141
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.799
will improve over time with practice and investing in yourself

142
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.399
and learning more about how to get better at what

143
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.799
you do. The more you do something, like with anything,

144
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.799
the more it becomes a habit, the more comfortable it

145
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:46.600
becomes for you, and ultimately the more successful that you

146
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.080
can become in it. The less you do it, the

147
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.320
harder it is for you to create that habit. And

148
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.639
that's why mastering the science the activity is really an

149
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.720
important step because you could be the best communicator in

150
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.360
the world world, or the best salesperson in the world.

151
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.000
If you don't master the number side of the business,

152
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.080
the science, and you don't get enough opportunities to close,

153
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.519
you're not going to win a lot of new business.

154
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:16.120
So mastering the science is absolutely required if you want

155
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.639
to crush your sales objectives, no matter what your sales

156
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.639
background is. If you have so many opportunities, so many leads,

157
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.120
so many prospects, so many appointments, you can't help but

158
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.240
win business. You can't help but close business if you

159
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:34.919
just know how to communicate at a very basic level. Now,

160
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.600
where it becomes harder is when you start dealing in

161
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:45.720
much more advanced sales situations, bigger ticket selling, larger transactions,

162
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:50.000
more complicated sales and sales processes. That's when it becomes

163
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.320
a lot more important that your art side of the

164
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.080
business is worked on. But if you're going to start anywhere,

165
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.279
I would say, master the science, get your activities down

166
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.840
as you go. If you're not quite there yet. The

167
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.720
fact is, no matter who you are, no matter what

168
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:10.840
your sales background is. I promise you there isn't a

169
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:16.000
single sales professional out there that knows everything everything about

170
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.759
professional selling. Okay, you're always going to be learning something new,

171
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.480
You're always going to be developing and honing and perfecting

172
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.519
your craft if you're going to be selling. So take

173
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.279
the pressure off yourself. Take those bricks off your shoulders.

174
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.639
Don't feel like you have to carry this burden because

175
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.240
you struggle with selling. Everybody is a student of selling,

176
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.799
no matter what their background is, no matter how much

177
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.200
production they've generated. I've generated a lot of business in

178
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.919
my day, and I'm still to this day a student

179
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.919
of selling. I continue to study it, and I encourage

180
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:52.080
anybody that's serious about it to continue to work on

181
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.240
perfecting their craft. But to crush your goals, you have

182
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.639
to have opportunity. You have to create opportunities. So let's

183
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.600
get into some other elements that I think are really

184
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.240
really important if you want to crush your goals. And

185
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.120
that's what I call the three elements of success. And

186
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.840
you can refer to these elements. I've shared them before.

187
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:11.639
I think it's really really important. It doesn't matter whether

188
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.759
you're talking about selling, whether you're talking about business in general,

189
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:19.399
whether you're talking about life in general. These three elements

190
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:23.679
of success play a role in everybody's lives, and we're

191
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.279
going to talk about what those three things are right now.

192
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.399
The first is you have to have the right mindset.

193
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.519
Your head needs to be on straight. You need to

194
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:35.240
be thinking the right way about whatever it is that

195
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.080
you're doing. In selling. You need to have the right

196
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.279
sales success mindset. You need to understand that rejection is

197
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.759
part of the process. You need to understand that you're

198
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.320
going to face some obstacles, but you're going to be

199
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.480
committed to your success. And your sales success mindset is

200
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.000
one of service and the intention of helping as many people,

201
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.480
realizing that the more people that you help, the closer

202
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:04.799
you get to your objective. Sales is not difficult. It's

203
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.559
made up of a lot of little things that you

204
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.159
need to do well to really master it, but it's

205
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:14.080
not a difficult process. Reach out to people, connect with people,

206
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.080
provide solutions, solve problems, and you'll ultimately get to where

207
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.720
you want to go. But your mindset needs to be

208
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.960
one of that of service. You need to be thinking

209
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.879
about how you're going to be able to help people

210
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.279
you can't be thinking about, Oh, I've got to close

211
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.360
this deal, I've got to generate more revenue, I've got

212
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.159
to make more money. Those are all realities. But I

213
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.519
promise you, if you focus on service, if you focus

214
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:40.399
on solving problems and helping people reach what they're looking for,

215
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.559
all those other things will happen as you go through

216
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.480
that process. So your right sales mindset is focused around service.

217
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.279
It's also focused on this element, which I think is

218
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.840
a common denominator for most people that are out there,

219
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:59.879
especially if you're selling successfully, you have a deep seated commitment,

220
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.200
almost a deep seated drive that's made up of what

221
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:08.440
I call your RTF, your refusal to fail. You just

222
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.879
are not going to accept failure. You're gonna dig in.

223
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.799
You're gonna do whatever is necessary. If it means more calls,

224
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.519
if it means more emails, if it means more strategic relationships, whatever,

225
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.039
You're gonna figure it out. You're gonna make it work.

226
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.039
It's OURTF refusal to fail. It's one of the common

227
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.919
denominators that I think all sales successful people have, even

228
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.720
if they haven't tapped into it completely, even if they

229
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:36.399
haven't identified it or even explored it, you're gonna find

230
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.399
if you dig a little deeper, you're gonna find out

231
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:40.919
they all have this refusal to fail. They do what's

232
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.919
necessary to go out there and be successful. Why are

233
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.480
certain people elite? Why do people certain people perform at

234
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.200
a much higher level and generate more sales and more

235
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:55.519
revenue and more success. It's usually what that RTF is,

236
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:59.720
that refusal to fail. There's something inside a drive, something

237
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.840
based upon their why they do it that keeps them

238
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:06.159
moving forward. And it's that refusal to fail. And that's

239
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:08.919
the first thing you need to have. The second and

240
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.519
this is one of these elements of success points that

241
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.200
you just can't ever forget. You know, you need to

242
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:19.200
develop people. You need to create alignment with other people. Okay,

243
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.600
no matter who you are, no matter what you do

244
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.480
or offer, you are not alone in the world. You

245
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.279
need other people to interact with, You need other people

246
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.559
to do business with, to rely on, perhaps for parts

247
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:35.240
of your business. You need to develop strong relationships with people,

248
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.200
and that includes how you work with them, how you

249
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:41.559
come alongside them, how you support them, how you leverage

250
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.639
their relationships and vice versa. Mastering working with people is

251
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.600
one of the critical elements of your success. It's a

252
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.360
piece that is absolutely going to make all the difference

253
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.279
in the world for you. When you get really good

254
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.159
at working with other people leveraging relationships, you start to

255
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:02.960
do things that other people struggle to do. You generate

256
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.879
more referrals or what I like to call warm and

257
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.559
friendly introductions. You start to feel a momentum of growth.

258
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.279
You feel better about what you do. When you know

259
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.519
you're impacting a lot of people, you feel great about it. Right.

260
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:19.120
It fires you up when you're helping people. That is

261
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:22.639
a major element of success. So you have your mindset

262
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.440
as that first element. Your second element is people, you know,

263
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.679
nurturing and developing people around you. And the third element

264
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:31.679
of success, and this is what helps you crush your

265
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.519
sales goals. Without question. You better have the right systems

266
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:40.879
in place. You better have what I call very specific

267
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.879
systems in place to be able to help you be successful.

268
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.159
Now we're going to unpack that for the remainder of

269
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.679
our time Today. We're going to be digging into the

270
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:53.120
system side, because the system side are the things that

271
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:56.000
are really required if you really want to crush your

272
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.639
sales goals. So let's talk about what the two most

273
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.440
important systems are that you need to have. Okay, and

274
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:05.480
it doesn't matter whether this is a formal system. It

275
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.720
doesn't matter whether this is kind of informal that you

276
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.360
kind of drag it along manually. You know, whatever you

277
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.039
do and how you do it technically is a system.

278
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.360
Now is it the best system? I don't know. That's

279
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.240
a question you would have to ask yourself. We're going

280
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.559
to talk today for the remainder of our time about

281
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.240
two critical systems that you need to have to crush

282
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.840
your sales goals. The first at the top of the list,

283
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.879
after your mindset and the importance of mindset and dealing

284
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.440
with people. The first at the top of the systems

285
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:40.639
list is you need to have a duplicatable and scalable

286
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:49.000
client acquisition system. Okay, you need a way to acquire clients, leads, prospects.

287
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:52.480
You need something that's out there working on your behalf

288
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.759
to be able to acquire opportunities to feed the system,

289
00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.679
to kind of feed the monster. Right, if you want

290
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.960
to match or the science as selling, you need to

291
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.400
feed that monster. You need a scalable and duplicatable client

292
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.640
acquisition system. Now, your client acquisition system may be you

293
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:16.079
picking up the phone and reaching out to people. It

294
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.240
may only be scalable if you have other people doing

295
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.960
it for you so you can spend time doing other things.

296
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:27.640
Your client acquisition system may be working with a marketing

297
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:32.880
agency that generates leads. Maybe it's you generating themselves, or

298
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:37.599
you're generating them for yourself using social media tools, using LinkedIn,

299
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.000
using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, whatever it is you're doing

300
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.759
to generate leads, but you're doing something by way of

301
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:53.240
that system to attract and acquire leads, prospects, opportunities. Okay,

302
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:57.079
you need a client acquisition system. It should be duplicatable

303
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:02.640
and scalable. Now why duplicatable and scalable. Well, it's really simple.

304
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.759
You need it to be duplicatable. So it's something that

305
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:08.960
you can just repeat, rinse, repeat, and do it again

306
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.599
over and over and over again. If it's working and

307
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.480
it's generating the results that you want or need, and

308
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.960
it's resulting in you generating new business, you want it

309
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.519
to be duplicatable. It needs to be something that you

310
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:23.319
can do over and over again. It can't be a single,

311
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:25.960
one time thing, or else you're going to be starting

312
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.000
over each time. It's something that you need to be

313
00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:31.680
able to duplicate. You want it to be scalable, something

314
00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:35.880
that you can do at an increase level, or do

315
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:39.240
more of, or kind of throw gasoline on the fire

316
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.240
and get more and more out of it. Because as

317
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:46.319
your needs increase, as your objectives increase, as your goals

318
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:50.079
and your sales results increase, if you want to continue

319
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:54.680
to advance and develop those numbers and improve them, well,

320
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.319
your client acquisition system needs to be a little evergreen

321
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:01.960
where it can grow with your needs. If your needs

322
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:05.680
have expanded, if your objectives have increased, well, then you

323
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:09.680
need whatever your client acquisition system is to be able

324
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.519
to do the same, to match you, to give you

325
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.519
enough leads, enough opportunity to feed that monster with enough

326
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:23.359
opportunity right now. It doesn't mean that whatever your client

327
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.400
acquisition system is has to do at all. It may

328
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:33.119
be one component piece. You may have multiple client acquisition systems,

329
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.119
and maybe one element of your system generates seventy percent

330
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:38.960
of what you need and the other one that generates

331
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:42.720
twenty and a third generates ten and it gets you

332
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.680
to one hundred percent of what you need. Whatever your

333
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.759
system is, though you do want it to be duplicateable

334
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.319
and scalable. And I encourage you to recognize one of

335
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:57.519
the challenges in that rest solely on your shoulders, rest

336
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:01.079
solely on your back. You're going to put all of

337
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:03.839
that on you to generate. If you're trying to do

338
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.519
that all yourself, you have to realize that there's a

339
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.359
trade off of time, and your time may not be

340
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.440
able to be spent in the other aspect or the

341
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.839
other system that is critical to your success. If you

342
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.880
really want to crush your sales results, well, then you

343
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.839
better have This is the second system that you need

344
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:28.200
to have. You better have a bullet proof, easy to

345
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:32.880
follow sales process. Your sales process should be what I

346
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:37.960
call bulletproof, easy to follow, really really simple to follow

347
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:41.400
over and over again. Now why is that so important?

348
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:46.160
Well as it relates to your client acquisition system. If

349
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:51.240
your sales process is a jumble and it's not organized,

350
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:55.359
and it's not bulletproof as far as the process and

351
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.039
the way it goes, you're going to find that you're

352
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:00.000
going to waste a lot of time spinning your wheel.

353
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.839
If it's not easy to follow, you're going to find

354
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.680
yourself jumping around and not being as productive as you

355
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.160
could be in a sales environment. Look, if you're gonna

356
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:14.160
crush your sales goals, man, that sales process needs to

357
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.759
be tight. It needs to be tight and bulletproof for

358
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.279
your success. But along the way, certain things will change that.

359
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.839
And the reason why it's important having an easy to

360
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:28.039
follow sales process is sometimes you get thrown for a

361
00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:33.000
loop or for a curve. It's really really important to

362
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.480
make sure that your sales process is critical. The reason

363
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:41.680
why mastery of both of those systems is super critical

364
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:46.079
to your success is your sales process does not matter

365
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:50.440
if you don't have leads to run through it, and

366
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:55.160
your client acquisition system won't be around long if you

367
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:59.200
don't convert some of those clients to new business and

368
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:03.680
new revenue. So there's this symbiotic relationship between the two

369
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:09.319
client acquisition system sales process. If one is broken, the

370
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:13.720
other one will just have little to no effectiveness for you.

371
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.720
They work hand in hand. When I'm asked to look

372
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.319
at what somebody is doing as far as their sales effort,

373
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.160
or when I'm brought into a company to look at

374
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:28.359
what they're doing as a team as a small business,

375
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:32.359
as a company towards generating sales success. I always look

376
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:36.480
at their client acquisition systems or system, and I look

377
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:39.400
at their sales process, and you're going to, you know,

378
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:43.400
probably not be surprised to realize that the majority of

379
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:49.000
the time, when there is something broken in their sales success,

380
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:53.440
it's usually tied to one of those two areas. So

381
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:56.319
if you really really want to crush your sales results, man,

382
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:01.079
you better develop a duplicatable and scalable client acquisition system

383
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:04.559
and you want to create a bulletproof, easy to follow

384
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:08.359
sales process. And I've developed proprietary systems like this my

385
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:12.079
entire career, and I've dialed them in for my own business.

386
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.720
And I think it's one of those things that every coach, consultant,

387
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.039
or entrepreneur out there has to master. They have to

388
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:20.720
figure out to do it. If you're struggling to figure

389
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:22.279
that out, reach out to me. I'll be happy to

390
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:24.920
help you figure it out. But you have to master

391
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:28.599
those things if you want to crush your sales results.

392
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:32.720
Now part of the reason why these things are so

393
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:34.960
so critical, and it goes back to the title of

394
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.960
this episode. If your sales skills, if your art side

395
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:42.319
of the business isn't super strong. If you struggle a

396
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.240
little bit with how you communicate and how you sell,

397
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:50.200
the better those two elements of your system are that

398
00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:55.359
the stronger they are, the less reliant upon your salesmanship

399
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.480
you will become. And the reason that I tell people

400
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:04.920
this constantly is because some people carry this burden of

401
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:07.839
thinking that they have to be this super salesperson. They

402
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.240
have to be able to communicate in a way that

403
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:13.759
other people can't communicate. They think that there's some magic pill,

404
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:16.839
and it doesn't exist. There are certain things that you

405
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.240
can do. There are certain communication patterns, there are certain

406
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.960
questioning patterns. We teach a lot of that with our company,

407
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:26.839
the sales activists. But a large piece of sales success

408
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:31.799
comes with mastering that science and even more importantly, drilling

409
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:37.680
down to that client acquisition system and that bulletproof, easy

410
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.440
to follow sales process. You know, when you reach out

411
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:44.400
to our company for help, when we talk with people

412
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.319
about sales, we always spend time talking about those things.

413
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.000
How are you acquiring your clients? What's your client acquisition

414
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:55.200
system look like? Tell me about your sales process, What

415
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.519
do your calls look like? How do you organize them? Like?

416
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:02.119
All these things play a role even more than what

417
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:05.240
you say and how you say it. And I know,

418
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.720
for those of you out there that struggle with salesmanship

419
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.960
or communication in general, if you're those natural introverts, I'm

420
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.160
going to tell you that you can be who you

421
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.880
are and still be wildly successful in sales. You don't

422
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:24.359
have to become this super outspoken, outgoing, great communicator. I've

423
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:26.279
known a lot of people that are introverts that are

424
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.119
master sales professionals, and the reason is they've mastered the

425
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.720
other elements of their success. They've mastered the science. They

426
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.960
have a scalable and duplicatable client acquisition system, they have

427
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:42.000
an easy to follow sales process, and things flow much

428
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:46.000
more naturally as a result of it. So when you're

429
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:48.200
looking at trying to crush your sales goals and you

430
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:50.920
want to do it without really being strong and selling,

431
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:55.319
you need to double down and master the science of sales.

432
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:58.039
And that goes all the way back to what I

433
00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:00.880
said at the beginning. You know, you're going to need

434
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.359
to break things down into smaller metrics. You're going to

435
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:06.559
need to manage them in smaller pieces. You want to,

436
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:10.359
you know, create a massive sales result. Break it down

437
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:13.880
into small elements that are easy to manage, easy to track,

438
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:18.519
and even more importantly, easy to attain. To build some momentum,

439
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:23.000
to build some excitement, to get excited about the progress

440
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.920
and the tracking that you're currently doing, start with smaller numbers.

441
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:29.079
Don't stare at that huge number all the time because

442
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:32.759
you're going to find that it becomes overwhelming, sometimes adding

443
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:36.039
to your stress and burden. But if you want to

444
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:40.920
crush those sales goals and do it consistently, you know,

445
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.440
follow what I've talked about in today's episode break down,

446
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:48.920
specifically all the things that you're doing and the mastery

447
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.759
of the science of selling, and you will find yourself

448
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:57.519
well on the way to being successful. I want to

449
00:26:57.519 --> 00:26:59.480

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.319
the Sales Activist. Are you struggling to meet and exceed

459
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.240
the sales objectives you have for yourself and your business? Well,

460
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:36.920
if you are, I'd like to help. For well, over

461
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:39.319
thirty four years and after tens of thousands of live

462
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:42.759
sales interactions and hundreds of millions of dollars of closed

463
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:47.200
sales transactions, I've developed a proprietary sales system, the ISM

464
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:49.880
Sales System, and this system can show you how to

465
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.680
triple your sales results in six months or less, guaranteed,

466
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:57.960
all without spending a single extra dollar on advertise. To

467
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:01.519
get the details, just text word sales to the number

468
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:05.160
four oh nine five oh nine seven three five five.

469
00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:08.759
That's sales to four oh nine five oh nine seven

470
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.519
three five five, and you could schedule a complimentary consultation

471
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.480
where we'll talk all about ISM and exactly what it

472
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:17.960
can do to help you and your business. This is

473
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:20.599
Joe Beck with the Sales Activist. You don't have to

474
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:23.880
settle for average sales results. I'll talk to you soon
