Short coaching video by Matt Dart advising fitness/business professionals to establish authority before sales calls. The speaker warns that prospects can decide to decline in the first five minutes and recommends pre-call positioning (renaming and setting expectations for the consult/health assessment) so prospects lower their guard and are more likely to convert.

So why authority matters? So you could lose a sale in the first five minutes. So if you're not having authority, people will leave the conversation with, I'll think about it. If you have authority, they'll have trust, they'll like you, and the conversion will most likely happen. So there's one thing that you can do, like the pre call positioning. So after you book in the consult, we call them a health assessment. You can call them a, I don't know, you can call it consult, whatever. What you're going to do, you're going to basically set the expectation for what you're going to do in that session. Everyone knows that they're going to be sold to. Okay. But once they kind of know how it's going to run, they're going to bring their walls down a little bit.
