For service professionals who need more clients with less hassle: this classic material – developed by Matthew’s business partner – outlines how to start and grow any service business using counterintuitive and well-proven business practices, running the full spectrum from choosing a target market to sending keep in touch emails that get opened and making offers that get bought.

This exclusive material is for the professional salesperson, entrepreneur or self-employed professional. If you want more people to buy more of your product more frequently, you can’t afford to ignore the fifteen principles of professional persuasion that make more people say “yes” to you
more frequently. You’ll have more fun, more money and more time when you put them to use.

Professional Persuasion Program

Who Is It For?

Is for the self-employed, small business owners, sales managers, business development executives and salespeople who are interested in more professional
success.

It is most suitable for those who enjoy some degree of autonomy in their daily practice, and is therefore not necessarily recommended for people who are trying to work out what they want to do for a living, or call center staff.

It’s designed for the SALES team or organizations or small business owners who are already operational, as it covers the step by step process to follow once the lead has been generated and the conversion process begins.

QUALIFICATION:
How to grade your prospects for maximum projected return on sales effort, looking at Situational, Emotional, Financial and Conditional indicators, and covering how to extract this information during the qualification process

CONNECTION:
How to make yourself the obvious choice of vendor in a competitive marketplace. We’ll look at increasing likeability, manufacturing charisma and magnetism and reinforcing the rules of reciprocity.

CONTROL:
How to lay the right foundation for the relationship with your prospect, so that you are in the driving seat of the sales relationship, always know what and when the next step is and how to have your prospect willingly let you lead the way.

CREDIBILITY
To be seen not only as likeable, but serious, you need credibility. You’ll discover the whats and hows of Expert Endorsement, Authority Signposts and your Circle of Influence to position you as an A-player in the market.

PROBLEM
Your prospect is going to buy from you based on a need they have: the need will be based on a problem. It might be a big one (imminent loss of funds/shelter) or a small one (need a great engagement party gift). How you address it and get your first buy-in from the prospect is critical.

SOLUTION
Presenting what you’ve got: there’s a right way and there’s a dozen wrong ways. When you position your solution as being the ​best choice ​ using the right language (based on the discovery and qualification process we’ve been through earlier), it doesn’t matter if you’re not the only choice or not the cheapest choice.

BENEFITS
Prospects buy for a number of reasons … and a lot of those reasons are subconscious. In this module we dive deep into the specifics of YOUR product and delineate the various financial, psychological and physiological advantages of being a customer of 1. Your product or service and 2. Your firm.

SOCIAL PROOF
The best way to do testimonials — even if you haven’t got any testimonials yet — drawing on social data and existing customer case studies.

PRE-EMPT OBJECTIONS
Poor persuaders and amateur salespeople run from objections: they see them as big bad red flags to be avoided at all costs. Professional Persuaders pro-actively sniff out reasons that their prospects won’t buy, based on research and the particular prospect’s situation. Then they pre-empt them with the right questions, stories and case-studies.

OFFER
Eliminating the awkward moment of switching to the offer. How to present your offer with strength and conviction. How much to charge. How and when to give the prospect a choice between options and how and when to prescribe a single course of action.

LOAD THE OFFER
The “sugar on the top” that nudges the buyer to choose you is used heavily in some industries and largely ignored in others. You’ll learn how to “sweeten the deal” ethically and in a way that doesn’t affect your bottom line … and only makes your customer more committed to doing long-term business.

RISK-REVERSAL
Guarantees, warranties and cooling-off periods. Using them for commercial gain and buyer trust.

SCARCITY
Scarcity works. When the salesperson has the strength to NOT leave the offer on the table until it goes bad, the product or service becomes more compelling. There’s manufactured scarcity and there’s fake scarcity and then there’s the Professional Persuasion option: sincere scarcity.

URGENCY
The “be back bus” never comes. You have a choice as the driver of the sales process about whether you’re going to leave the deal dangling or whether you’re going to enforce some strict deadlines. Urgency is scarcity’s twin, and used together, properly and with sincerity, they’re a powerful tool in your sales shed.

CLOSE
Buttoning up the deal to mutual satisfaction … and the next steps to increase your customer’s lifetime value.
