• As you progress in business, you'll encounter more people who make logical decisions.
• Helping prospects make rational decisions is important in sales.
• People want to believe you, but you must help their logical brains justify the decision.

Beliefs About Selling

• Selling happens before you ask for the sale.
• Expect and plan for rejection.
• It's easier to handle obstacles than objections.
• If you didn't get a gasp from a price tag, you didn't go high enough.
• Selling properly is the first step in becoming a coach.
• Selling is helping prospects make decisions for themselves.

The Importance of Price Anchoring

• If you're not getting gasps, you're not going high enough with your prices.
• Train your team to be comfortable with rejection and to go for the gasp.
• Price anchoring can be used to your advantage.

The Relationship Between Selling and Coaching

• Selling is the first step in coaching.
• Your first impressions and the expectations you set dictate the relationship.
• Using logic in the sale sets you and your client up for long-term success.
• Selling is about helping prospects make decisions for themselves.

Understanding the Prospect

• Help the prospect help themselves.
• Keep the prospect, not the sale, as the priority.
• Vanish in the sale and magnify the prospect.
• Seek to understand, not to argue.
• Maintain childlike curiosity in conversations.

The Art of Closing

• Closing is a dance, not a fight.
• The goal is to sell from your back foot and help the prospect.
• Selling is a transference of belief over a bridge of trust.
• Belief and trust are a continuum, not binaries.
• Closers ask hard questions because they genuinely care.

The Power of Conviction

• Conviction is one of the easiest and best ways to increase closing percentage.
• You can only build trust if you genuinely want to help.
• Belief and trust are required to make the transfer of sales.
• The person who cares the most about the prospect wins the sale.
• Report all your sales to analyze and improve your performance.

The Skill of Influence

• Power is the ability to direct or influence people.
• Understanding this skill is essential to becoming powerful.
• Selling happens throughout the entire sales process, not just at the close.

The Importance of Closing

• Closing has one of the highest predictors of success in business.
• Analogy: Top five red zone offenses in the NFL made the playoffs 90% of the time.
• If you can close, it will make up for deficiencies in other areas of your business.
• It's difficult to grow in business if you can't close, especially in the beginning.
• 10% of people will always buy, 10% will never buy, and the problem is not knowing which 10%.

The Power of Decision Making

• You're only one decision away from changing your life forever.
• Blaming sources outside of our control makes us weak and powerless.
• Visualize a decision you need to make.
• Understand the logic behind arguments people give for not becoming more powerful.
• Use logic to create an emotion and make people feel more powerful.

The Importance of Understanding the Decision-Making Process

• People make decisions based on emotions, not logic.
• People are afraid of making the wrong decision.
• People are afraid of change and the unknown.
• People are afraid of losing something they already have.
• People are influenced by social proof and what others are doing.

The Decision-Making Framework

• Identify the decision you need to make.
• Identify the potential outcomes of each decision.
• Identify the worst-case scenario of each decision.
• Identify the best-case scenario of each decision.
• Identify the most likely scenario of each decision.
• Make the decision based on the most likely scenario and take action.

The Power of Decision Making

• Maximize the left, minimize the right.
• Deciding to buy the offer makes you feel more certain about your decision.
• Deciding not to buy the offer makes you feel less certain about your decision.
• Undecided? Make a decision that has the highest likelihood of getting you closer to your goal.
• Helping someone make a decision to help themselves does not mean buying from you.

Obstacles vs Objections

• An obstacle is something that blocks progress before the sale.
• An objection is when they disagree with you after the sale.
• It's easier to confront and destroy obstacles before asking for the sale.
• Learning how to talk through high-stakes decisions with yourself or others is the purpose of presentation.
• The person must really want the goal and believe three things: the product will get them the goal, the way they want to get there, and that it will work for them.

Sales Ethics

• Helping someone make a decision to help themselves does not mean buying from you.
• Keep their goals at the center of the decision.
• Shift your focus from the sale to the person.
• Be happy when someone decides to own the power and not work with you.
• Pay attention to the person, not yourself.

High-Stakes Decisions

• Make high-stakes decisions to help your prospects in order to best serve them.
• Shift your focus from the sale to the person.
• Change the metric you're measuring yourself by.
• Win every sale by caring about the person, not the sale.
• People pay for you to pay attention to them, not talk about yourself.

Providing Proof for Logical Close

• Provide proof to make it more unreasonable not to believe than to believe.
• Logical close is not an emotional close.
• Ask how many people they need to see to make it more unreasonable not to believe.
• Confront the real reason if they are not sure or do not want to lose weight or make money.
• Expect no at first because people would have already made the decision if they could.

Three Sources of Power

• There are three sources that people cast their power to.
• Dr. Albert Ellis came up with three core distortions of reality.
• The three sources of power are circumstances, others, and self.
• The three core distortions are "I must get what I want when I want it," "Other people must treat me fairly and kindly," and "I must do well or else I am no good."
• Understanding these distortions can help overcome objections in high-stakes conversations.

Onion of Blame

• People start with blaming circumstances, then move on to blaming others, and finally blame themselves.
• Overcoming objections may require peeling back multiple layers of blame.
• The five most common excuses scapegoats are circumstances, others, self, special snowflake, and authority.
• These excuses manifest in multiple ways such as time, value, price, money, and authority.
• Understanding these excuses can help equip you to deal with them for yourself and others.

Richard Feynman's Principles

• Richard Feynman was a brilliant teacher known for understanding, not memorizing.
• Learn principles, not formulas.
• Understanding the principles behind overcoming distortions of reality can help in sales and business.
• Do not take pictures of the slides, be present in the moment to understand the content.
• Understanding the truth behind objections can help in high-stakes conversations.

Understanding the Power of Decision Making

• Avoidance stall is a common problem in sales.
• It is important to go from surface level to core to understand the problem.
• There are different reasons for avoidance, such as lack of time, money, or interest.
• It is important to understand the principles behind these things, not just memorize them.
• By understanding the principles, you can help your clients make better decisions.

Overcoming Time Objections

• There are three main types of time objections: macro, micro, and when-then.
• Macro objections are related to busy seasons or lots of things going on.
• Micro objections are related to not having enough time in the day.
• When-then objections are related to waiting for the perfect time to start.
• It is important to understand the direction you are going in and keep peeling to get to the truth.
• You can use logical arguments to help your clients see the benefits of starting now, even if they are busy.

Overcoming Money Objections

• Money objections are often related to the perceived value of the product or service.
• It is important to understand the client's perspective and show them the benefits of investing in your product or service.
• You can use social proof, testimonials, and case studies to demonstrate the value of your product or service.
• You can also offer payment plans or discounts to make it more affordable for the client.
• It is important to focus on the long-term benefits of the product or service, not just the short-term cost.

Overcoming Interest Objections

• Interest objections are often related to the client's perception of the product or service.
• It is important to understand the client's objections and address them directly.
• You can use storytelling, humor, and emotion to engage the client and make the product or service more interesting.
• You can also offer a free trial or demo to give the client a taste of what the product or service is like.
• It is important to focus on the benefits of the product or service, not just the features.

Understanding the Power of Decision Making

• Empathize with the prospect's situation and step into their shoes.
• Don't attack them, but walk them through the epiphany you experienced.
• Logical fallacy called the "one then fallacy" where people say "when I have X, then I will do Y."
• Examples of this fallacy include "I'll pay for the program that'll make me more money when I have more money."
• Goal of high-stakes conversations is to show people that you're not attacking them, but helping them.

Overcoming Objections About Price

• Four frameworks to overcome objections about price: why a lot is good, why is this not a lot, do you believe me, and comparison.
• If someone thinks the price is a lot, ask them if it's a lot for them.
• If they say yes, explain that it's a good thing because it means they'll try hard.
• Relative amount of the price is very little if it adds $10,000 a month to their income.
• Goal is to get the person to confront reality, not a distortion they've created.
• Use comparison to price anchor and show the value of the product or service.

Attacking Time from Three Angles

• Three angles to attack time: time is not real, time is a choice, and time is a skill.
• Time is not real because it's a man-made construct.
• Time is a choice because people choose how they spend their time.
• Time is a skill because people can learn to manage their time better.
• Goal is to show people that they have control over their time and can make better choices.
