A force multipler
|
If you're thinking in terms of how to change the game —not just "get better", but to shift how things work— you need a few things. Between a force or a force multiplier*, you'd better take this last one. And one thing that multiplies the force your business is is your thinking. It's how you operate. How you approach things. How you think. To know that in a structured way, you need to articulate it. And to articulate it, you need to think with your fingers. You need to publish. You need to write. That one little thing can change the way your market sees you. And that's your game-changer. *Lioness TV Show —deff worth to watch. :) |

How do you get to the 4 questions to figure out where you are in the mind of your prospect? With an empty mind. Without previous judgement, Without a solution. Without being in solution-mode (ready to fix the problem on the spot). You go in blind, as in a blind-date. To listen. To see if there's a fit. To understand if/how you can help. To say No when it feels like a No. That's your gift: knowing you're in control. To help.
To have advantage in a sales conversation. you'd wanna ask 4 things: What's the new status in the future when everything's going amazing. What's the reason behind the specific solution they're after. What's the urgency of doing it NOW, and not in a year. What's the reason for them to be even talking to you. Getting the answers to these questions will let you know where you stand —in the mind of your decision-maker, in the process, and compared to the alternatives.
To do this, you need to stop thinking inwards. It's got nothing to do with your costs, your efforts, with how much sacrifice you put into. It has nothing to do with how much you think it's worth. It's got nothing to do with your pocket. It's all about your customers. About their situations. What they value. And with their pockets. If it's worth to them, they'll find the way. And it's them who define what expensive is. Not you. :)
