You can give away $6,000 of your best thinking on a sales call and it ends with a polite "we'll be in touch".

I've been in sales for years, and the first call is for finding out whether there's a deal. If the buyer knows nothing about how you think, you spend the hour proving yourself by solving their problem for free, and they go off and do it themselves.

Put out one sharp piece on the problem you fix so buyers read it before they book, and the call goes on price and start date instead.

@willbakerships Got to roll the dice surely 😅

@XCSme The chemical supermarket food bit is spot on. I need proper meat or I feel useless by the afternoon 😂

@tiagopita @levelsio Bloody hope not 😂

[James @ljamest92]

@Gustav_Joubert Not ideal haha especially with replies not counting towards your total.

Try a few formats and then dial in on what works 💪🏻

@Gustav_Joubert Standard practice for some 👀

@GRMDAILY That Danny Dyer as D Double one has to be the best yet

@TheGlasnerEra_ I love all of these. The EastEnders ones are crazy 😂

@ChadAppDev This strategy is referred to as risk mitigation

@KhalijahRoaw Pick a skill people pay for, then offer five businesses a quick win on their biggest problem.

Referrals are a brilliant way to run a consulting business, right up until the month they stop.

A freelance marketing consultant can coast for years on word of mouth, then one client cuts their budget and another brings the work in house, and suddenly the person who was turning down projects in spring is refreshing their inbox in autumn.

Their skill never changed. Their pipeline just lived entirely in other people's hands, and other people have their own priorities.

A list of 300 relevant people who have already read your thinking is worth more than 3,000 followers who scroll past you.

@DenisCerednice1 Certainly feels like it a lot of the time! NPC's are everywhere haha

@IAmAaronWill Likes ain't cash - @OneJKMolina

@thedankoe Sales rewards exactly this. Two years of obsessing over one skill, like discovery calls, will put you ahead of reps who have coasted through ten years of the same pitch.

[James @ljamest92]

@dickiebush Same goes for selling. The best pitches I've written started on a call, when a buyer asked a question I couldn't answer well and I had to go and fix it.

@danmartell The 1000th video only pays your bills if each one taught you something the last one didn't, otherwise it's just video three on repeat.
