Your prospect won’t allow you into their world unless they perceive you as being selfless in your intentions.

But unless your advisory practice is a non-profit entity, being selfless in your intentions is completely at odds with your need to make the sale.

How do you reconcile this paradox?

Many advisors have been conditioned to believe that their prospects must like them first before they’re willing to become a paying client.

If you eavesdropped inside a typical initial conversation

between an advisor and their prospect, you’d probably hear a lot of chit-chat about trivial things, that may not relate to their challenges.

The problem with rapport-building on its own is that your prospects can sense you may have a hidden agenda behind it.

When there is an abundant supply of advisors in your local market, it becomes harder for you to differentiate yourself. As a result, it’s easy to let your guard down and adjust your fees downward (or add more pre-sale “meetings” to your sales process), out of fear you might lose a new client opportunity.

But if you allow yourself to become commoditized in this way, you open yourself up to being “shopped” against other advisors.

In this month’s Stump The Guru show, I spoke about “How To Know If You're Being Shopped?”

The life blood of your practice depends on you bringing in new paying clients, consistently. So, why is it that so many of your new client opportunities end up disappearing on you?

You’ve done everything “by the book”. You’ve built a relationship, provided value, education, and given them plenty of room to make a decision without any pressure…then poof, they’re gone.

Are you overcompensating by going heavy on relationship-building in your sales process?

Building deep trust with your prospects in your sales process does not require you to build a relationship with them.

That's a BOMB in the entire traditional selling industry.

If you have a very clear process on how to create trust in your sales process, based on their deep issues, then you don't have to spend your energy getting them to like you and become their friend first.

Real relationships happen AFTER the sale, not before.

In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I spoke about Why You Should Stop Building Relationships With Your Prospects. I've made it my life’s mission to give you the clarity that you are missing in your sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form.

Let me be blunt ... The number one goal is not to promote your product, brand or solution – but rather focus in on, and understand the problem your prospect is trying to solve. It is only then, when you have demonstrated your genuine concern for the problem your prospect is trying to solve, that you have the trust needed to offer a solution.

Traditional selling methodology suggests a sale is lost at the end of the process. That you didn’t nail your close, or you mishandled an objection. I beg to differ; I believe that in the new economy the sale is not lost at the end of the process but rather at the beginning.

At “Hello”.

And after hello, beginning the conversation acknowledging the problems your prospect is having, peeling back the layers on those problems, and showing empathy for the situation will allow you to begin to talk about the ROI for solving the problem and the impact that NOT solving the problem might have on the business.

In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I spoke about why the sale is lost at the beginning, and not at the end.

You’re coming to the end of an initial conversation with a potential new client, and everything seems to be going well.

You’ve invested time with them to understand their issues and provided information and education to address their needs.

But as the conversation naturally closes, there’s an awkward moment, an empty space, where you and your prospect don’t know what to say next.

They haven’t indicated they want to move forward, and you’re careful not to put pressure on them to make a decision. But at the same time, you don’t want to leave things hanging in limbo.

Are you tired of chasing prospects who seem interested in what you're offering, only to end up going silent or ghosting you altogether? It's a frustrating experience that can leave you feeling burnt out and disheartened.

But here's the thing: what if I told you that some prospects may be giving you a "smoke screen" – a misleading impression that they're interested when, in fact, they're not?

In selling, it’s crucial to be able to recognize these smoke screens and avoid wasting your time and effort on unproductive pursuits.

In this episode of Stump The Guru Podcast, I spoke about Learning How To Recognize A “Smoke Screen” From Your Prospect. I've made it my life’s mission to give you the clarity that you are missing in your sales process, through decades of working with thousands of business owners all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling into a true art form.
