It's amazing to me how people go through life and don't talk this way. Somebody comes into your mechanic shop with a car, and the car is broken, and you know how to fix it. It's one screw. And they say, can you fix it? And you say, yeah, it's a screw. I'll fix it. Or you can say, I know what it is. I've seen this before. I'm pretty sure I can fix it quickly for you. We're totally full, but I'm gonna try and fix it now just so you don't have to wait now. When you fix it quickly, they're like, this mechanic is the. You need to go to my guy. He's the best. He knew exactly what it was. He put me ahead of the line. You now have a for life that.
Is sales top g while I'm drinking my sparkling water watching this. But this is absolutely true. Life and sales just comes down to how do you frame things? So we all have strengths, we all have weaknesses. A lot of what people perceive of you is just what you choose to highlight. And this is especially important in a sales situation because there are pluses and minuses, really, in any aspect of. Of what you're selling and what you have or what position in life you're in. Like, for example, if you're talking to somebody who has a ton of results, what's the plus to that? Like, hey, it's proven. What's the minus of that? If they have ton of results, they probably have a ton of customers, which means you probably get less attention on the other end. You don't have a ton of results. What's the minus? It's not proven, but what's the plus? Probably don't have a lot of people you're working with, so you can give much more detailed focus to the people that you're working with. So a lot of framing just comes down to. And a lot of sales just comes down to how do you actually frame things. So it just comes down to highlighting the strengths, minimizing the weaknesses, or just not talking about the weaknesses. This will come across more convincing because, like, I know for me growing up in the Midwest, you're always just taught to be as humble as possible. But the thing is, if you always present yourself as unimpressing, people will start to believe you.
