Welcome to Entrepreneur Secrets, the electric podcast.

00:00:03.130 --> 00:00:09.092
I'm your host, clay Neumeier, with my esteemed co-host, joseph Lucani, the sales bot Lucani.

00:00:09.092 --> 00:00:10.961
Throw that in there, guys.

00:00:10.961 --> 00:00:24.411
We're back today, live in the group, the Entrepreneur's Group, and we're here on the podcast with you to do part two of nonverbal cues, and we had a lot of good feedback on the part one, which launched on Friday, I believe last week.

00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.491
We put it out, but we did this, oh no, this one never actually went live in the group, so if no, friday we streamed it.

00:00:34.491 --> 00:00:34.954
I've confused myself.

00:00:34.973 --> 00:00:36.238
I think we streamed it's all good, we streamed it.

00:00:36.238 --> 00:00:37.180
Yeah, I just got off a plane.

00:00:37.180 --> 00:00:41.710
You guys, I'll give you that warning right now, um, but yeah, okay.

00:00:41.710 --> 00:00:45.659
So this is part two, and these non-verbal cues are just so important.

00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:55.454
I wanted to give a quick shout out to Brian in the group, who says you know what he's had a productive start to the week game planning, organic lead generation, thanks to the two of us.

00:00:55.454 --> 00:00:58.723
Thank you for that, and that's a huge compliment.

00:00:58.723 --> 00:01:09.909
And my post today was on organic lead gen and how important it is to get that machine nice and well oiled so it can run with you, without you, and get some autonomy in that business.

00:01:09.909 --> 00:01:16.834
Systemize this stuff so that when you put coins in that marketing machine, you're making the most of everyone.

00:01:16.834 --> 00:01:21.423
Joseph, okay, how we doing today I'm feeling great.

00:01:21.603 --> 00:01:30.036
I was gonna say, um, there's a lot of really cool stuff that I want to talk about, because I feel like it actually ties into what I posted about this morning.

00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:32.382
Now you have to learn, like.

00:01:32.382 --> 00:01:40.254
I realized that I've gone down a bunch of really weird paths, whether they're good or bad.

00:01:40.254 --> 00:01:48.546
But instead of feeling bad about them, I'm instead going to focus on using all those negative experiences to keep other people from making the same bad choices.

00:01:48.546 --> 00:01:53.686
So I'm able to now teach nonverbal cues that I had to learn just to keep alive.

00:01:53.686 --> 00:01:54.808
So it's great.

00:01:55.790 --> 00:02:03.486
And these are the kind of things that they take a lot of time, a lot of practice, right, especially if you're on your own, guys, and maybe you've heard Joseph's story's story.

00:02:03.486 --> 00:02:14.977
Maybe you know us a bit by now or maybe this is your first time, but a lot of the stuff we're talking about is over a decade of experience both joseph's decade and then mine as well, with different backgrounds.

00:02:14.977 --> 00:02:20.670
So the stuff we're bringing to you is not something you could really just read and and and learn that quickly.

00:02:20.670 --> 00:02:27.806
You get that accelerated approach anytime you're able to take the wisdom or experience of someone else and learn from that.

00:02:27.806 --> 00:02:32.183
So what do we need to know about these nonverbal cues and how can that set us apart?

00:02:32.884 --> 00:02:33.126
All right.

00:02:33.126 --> 00:02:39.645
The thing about part one was that's the things you're trying to do before the sale is made right.

00:02:39.645 --> 00:02:44.275
Part two is how can we prevent buyer's remorse?

00:02:44.275 --> 00:02:50.710
Because that was one of the biggest blows to the knees I ever got, where you would do everything right.

00:02:50.710 --> 00:03:04.743
So you thought you followed the process, you lined yourself up, you were successful, they gave you the deposit, and then you're driving back to the shop and then suddenly you get the call of oh, sorry, there's a family emergency.

00:03:04.743 --> 00:03:06.881
Oh, we need to hold off on this.

00:03:06.881 --> 00:03:08.405
Oh, can you send us a breakdown?

00:03:08.405 --> 00:03:11.012
And from experience, does that ever feel fun?

00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:12.522
No, not at all.

00:03:12.522 --> 00:03:14.027
And can I throw one nugget in there?

00:03:14.027 --> 00:03:22.484
Sure, I know the example you're using is very immediate, but buyer's remorse statistically happens within 72 hours of the purchase.

00:03:22.484 --> 00:03:25.211
So there's actually a bit of a journey in here.

00:03:25.211 --> 00:03:26.272
To continue.

00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:27.241
Correct.

00:03:27.241 --> 00:03:31.342
Yeah, no, I mean, it could be one of those things where you just get back to the office.

00:03:31.342 --> 00:03:35.061
It could be something where three days later they're like hey, I've been thinking about this.

00:03:35.061 --> 00:03:36.706
Do you mind sending me a breakdown on the job?

00:03:36.706 --> 00:03:38.883
I just want to make sure that it's the way I want it to be.

00:03:38.883 --> 00:03:43.054
Or some people might be like, oh, just for my own records, do you mind sending me a breakdown?

00:03:43.054 --> 00:03:46.122
Yeah, yeah, so it sounds that same part.

00:03:46.122 --> 00:03:51.925
So this, primarily, is something that you're going to do when you're selling to two different people.

00:03:51.925 --> 00:03:59.890
So either you know a spouse, two spouses or two partners doesn't matter, as long as there's two people that are both emotionally engaged in the situation.

00:03:59.890 --> 00:04:06.133
Now remember when we talked and we were sitting at the kitchen table, that we want to be side by side with someone.

00:04:06.133 --> 00:04:08.227
What was the main reason for that?

00:04:09.881 --> 00:04:18.119
We wanted to know that really we're on the same side of the line in partnership, looking towards a solution 100%, 100%.

00:04:18.821 --> 00:04:28.685
The thing is is that most of us, once we feel like we're already engaged with both, most of us, once we feel like we're already engaged with both we will tend on shifting our focus to one or the other.

00:04:28.685 --> 00:04:37.952
Whoever we feel is the primary person that's running this call Whether that means, let's say, it could be one of the partners says you know what?

00:04:37.952 --> 00:04:39.884
I'm the one who wants to get this done.

00:04:39.884 --> 00:04:57.750
So you start to shift and you start talking to one person and you've got to be aware of what's going on with the other, Because if you ever had a situation where you're talking to someone, they're both engaged and then just one person gets up and walks away, or they're like you know what, I'm paying attention, I'm just going to go, I got to check something quick.

00:04:57.750 --> 00:05:01.148
How many people walk through that yellow light?

00:05:01.148 --> 00:05:03.728
What do you think is being communicated from that?

00:05:05.420 --> 00:05:07.761
You're going to have to fill me in man, no worries.

00:05:08.101 --> 00:05:36.125
So the thing is is that if you get into a situation where someone gets up and walks away, they're trying to tell you one of two things it either means A they don't want to make a purchase, whether it's because they're confused or they're overwhelmed, and if they can be distant enough, they then can use the excuse of well, my husband wasn't available to listen to this, my wife wasn't available, my partner wasn't available.

00:05:36.125 --> 00:05:38.245
We need to discuss this later together.

00:05:38.245 --> 00:05:39.548
Becomes a wedge.

00:05:39.548 --> 00:05:41.000
It does so.

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.125
It's a first intentional move.

00:05:42.125 --> 00:05:51.916
The second thing that's communicating is, if they were truly interested in what we had to say, would doing the dishes be very interesting?

00:05:51.916 --> 00:05:54.281
Would doing the laundry take precedence?

00:05:55.363 --> 00:05:58.088
No, no, laser focused on us.

00:05:58.810 --> 00:05:59.812
Exactly so.

00:05:59.812 --> 00:06:09.810
The thing is is that when you have someone that's willing to walk away, that's a real problem we have to address and it has to be answered almost immediately.

00:06:09.810 --> 00:06:12.860
So it depends on how they introduce it.

00:06:12.860 --> 00:06:23.588
The first is if someone comes to you and says oh, I'm just going to get up for a second, I'm listening, but I'm just going to go be over here, are they really going to be listening if they're on the other side of the room?

00:06:23.588 --> 00:06:24.851
No, not at all.

00:06:24.851 --> 00:06:25.120
No.

00:06:25.802 --> 00:06:32.288
So you'd say well, I think that's great and I can imagine that whatever you're doing is definitely going to take priority, like whatever it is that they're doing.

00:06:32.288 --> 00:06:50.089
I can understand why you'd want to get that done, but my greatest fear, or what I don't want to happen, is, if I go through this and I describe it and you don't have your full attention, you may have questions afterwards and the last thing I want you to do is have to feel like you had to take notes or that you weren't able to figure it out while I was here together.

00:06:50.089 --> 00:06:52.045
So why don't we figure this out together?

00:06:52.045 --> 00:06:55.105
Let's sit back down, let's go through it and I can review anything you want to know.

00:06:55.105 --> 00:06:57.665
Did you have any specific questions before we moved on.

00:06:58.870 --> 00:06:59.310
I like that.

00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.557
You're re-engaging them, them to say I understand, I know what you're trying to do, it's all right, I know you're trying to get the dishes done, and I can see that that would be important.

00:07:10.557 --> 00:07:14.266
But and then you can interject why you don't want them to walk away.

00:07:14.266 --> 00:07:20.829
You don't want to say something like I don't want you to go because I don't want to have to repeat myself it's.

00:07:20.829 --> 00:07:30.149
I don't want you to go because I'm afraid that if you don't have your full attention to this, there could be things that are missed Because, granted, I designed six very different options.

00:07:30.149 --> 00:07:33.670
It wouldn't be fair for you to have to remember all these things.

00:07:33.670 --> 00:07:43.033
So you can point it back out when someone does that, it's very hard for someone to walk away a second time.

00:07:43.033 --> 00:07:45.987
Can you imagine how awkward that would be?

00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.064
Yeah, you got to be some sort of dick, right.

00:07:48.807 --> 00:07:54.283
Yeah, when they're just like nah, I'm going to get them to walk away, and though that might happen, that's actually a separate thing we could talk about.

00:07:54.283 --> 00:08:07.740
The second thing about bi-referred remorse and non-verbal cues is have you ever noticed that in different spousal relationships, someone usually takes primary and someone usually takes secondary?

00:08:09.704 --> 00:08:13.392
I usually claim that in mine, but there's an argument in house over here.

00:08:14.841 --> 00:08:15.543
I know I get it.

00:08:15.543 --> 00:08:22.365
I was going to say the thing is, it doesn't matter who's primary and who's secondary, because I consider both people equal members of the family.

00:08:23.247 --> 00:08:32.749
So the thing that we have to remember though is, if one person isn't being served emotionally, they will then give in to the other person.

00:08:32.749 --> 00:08:50.663
The problem is is that if you have one person who's super sold and you have one that's not really engaged, once the big ticket numbers come out, they may say listen, if you want to get this done, then that's what we're going to do, but do you think they're going to be just as cool with the price when you walk out of the room?

00:08:51.785 --> 00:08:54.712
No, you're tying this back into remorse now.

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.586
Exactly, because that's the thing.

00:08:57.586 --> 00:09:02.644
A lot of times, when it's happening, these non-verbals always come back to the buyer's remorse.

00:09:02.644 --> 00:09:16.312
So when you have someone who says you go to give them a price and you're working through it with them and they say something like well, I guess that's the one we're going to have to do, you guess, if you were really certain, would it be a guess?

00:09:16.312 --> 00:09:18.442
No, it wouldn't be.

00:09:18.442 --> 00:09:27.672
So someone, when they're trying to shift over to let someone else do something, they'll often change where they're looking and where they're facing.

00:09:27.672 --> 00:09:33.407
So let's say you're on the same line, I'm looking at the solution and two people looking at the solutions with me.

00:09:33.407 --> 00:09:41.768
You'll see the phone come out or you'll see someone looking up or you'll see them turning side to side.

00:09:42.422 --> 00:09:50.011
When you ask them a question, you can actually tell whether they're focused or not by asking them things like so what are your thoughts on that?

00:09:50.011 --> 00:09:52.924
Do you feel like that's necessary?

00:09:52.924 --> 00:09:54.509
Do you have anything to add to this?

00:09:54.509 --> 00:09:56.273
Do you feel like this is even important?

00:09:56.273 --> 00:10:05.091
You can bring them back in, but the way you can tell whether it's nonverbal or not is where their eyes are placed when they're actually responding to you.

00:10:05.091 --> 00:10:13.190
Because if I've noticed when someone is looking down, like I could be looking right at the screen right now, but if you asked me a question I wasn't fully engaged.

00:10:13.190 --> 00:10:20.749
I'm going to look top left, because that means that I'm looking usually for something internal and I'm trying to find the answer within myself.

00:10:20.749 --> 00:10:25.091
If someone's looking for the answer in themselves, were they actually paying attention?

00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:32.120
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.005
If someone's looking for the answer in themselves, were they actually paying attention?

00:10:34.005 --> 00:10:35.770
Yeah, yeah, definitely, and we talked a bit about this actually in rss the other day.

00:10:35.791 --> 00:10:44.409
up is actually associated with a visual uh referential system, lead reference system whereas side to side could be actually auditory and downward tends to be kinetic.

00:10:44.409 --> 00:10:53.104
So depending on the style of learning that they prefer style of communicating or remembering a lead referential system, they'll look different ways.

00:10:53.104 --> 00:10:55.129
But that doesn't necessarily mean distracted.

00:10:55.129 --> 00:10:58.764
So I love that you tied that in In the moment in response.

00:10:58.764 --> 00:11:00.831
It's a great thing when you cause that.

00:11:00.831 --> 00:11:04.570
It's also something that you can recognize and speak to.

00:11:04.570 --> 00:11:24.309
If you saw someone look up and then you know their lead reference system is visual, then you could actually this is expert level now say something like oh well, this is where I liked when I saw this, or exactly, you know, I like the way this looks, those being, of course, uh, visually cued statements.

00:11:25.110 --> 00:11:30.520
You're right, that's actually it Now.

00:11:30.520 --> 00:11:37.710
In addition, now we're going to shift a little bit away from buyer's remorse and then go into something that a lot of contractors hate, and that comes down to where are you doing your presentation?

00:11:37.710 --> 00:11:40.706
So many people will say I'm going to do it in the van.

00:11:40.706 --> 00:11:41.808
Why?

00:11:41.808 --> 00:11:42.871
Why are we doing in the van?

00:11:42.871 --> 00:11:53.904
Usually it's because they say I don't want the customer looking over my shoulder while I'm writing everything, but that itself is actually the nonverbal cue that we're going to talk about.

00:11:53.904 --> 00:11:54.808
Perfect.

00:11:54.808 --> 00:12:04.866
So let's say that you are getting ready to design your solutions and you're at the kitchen table, right, and you have all your notes spread out and your iPad and you're working.

00:12:04.866 --> 00:12:08.193
You're tipping away and the customer comes behind you and they look over.

00:12:08.193 --> 00:12:11.186
What is it do you think they're looking for?

00:12:12.789 --> 00:12:13.251
The numbers.

00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.666
That's what they're looking for Primarily.

00:12:17.666 --> 00:12:25.870
What that's saying is there's no possible way that they could be reading in a glance what the overall solution is going to be.

00:12:25.870 --> 00:12:26.893
It's not possible.

00:12:26.893 --> 00:12:33.450
If you have a whole list of six options and you're just working them out and you've got all your numbers in front of you, what could they really be looking for?

00:12:33.450 --> 00:12:46.168
What that's telling you is that they believe that the answer lies in the price, and when they think the answer lies in the price, that's all they're going to be focused on at the end think the answer lies in the price.

00:12:46.168 --> 00:12:47.349
That's all they're going to be focused on at the end.

00:12:47.369 --> 00:12:58.701
So, instead of you actually leaning in and trying to cover up your numbers which a lot of people do like, give you another verbal visual again.

00:12:58.701 --> 00:12:59.423
I'm writing my solutions.

00:12:59.423 --> 00:13:01.027
I have my iPad in front of me and I see the customer come behind me.

00:13:01.027 --> 00:13:04.760
I may actually shift in, and what does that tell the customer?

00:13:04.760 --> 00:13:07.068
If they see me trying to cover up my numbers?

00:13:07.068 --> 00:13:13.990
You don't want them to see the numbers, and is that dangerous in the customer's mind when all they want to do is look at the numbers?

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:16.067
You might as well be in the van hiding stuff.

00:13:16.580 --> 00:13:17.706
You might as well be in the van.

00:13:17.706 --> 00:13:26.431
That's why, instead, when you see them looking behind you, you can actually interject and be like hey, I'm just letting you know I've got about 15 minutes while I'm working on.

00:13:26.431 --> 00:13:33.105
Just ask, just be like is there anything you want to know before we keep going with it.

00:13:33.105 --> 00:13:47.416
Because if you don't address it and you do it subconsciously where you try to lean forward, they will pick up on that and when they do, you are doing the exact same thing as you just being in the van.

00:13:47.416 --> 00:13:51.687
It probably even works, because in the van they assume that you're hiding something.

00:13:51.687 --> 00:13:59.562
But if you're leaning forward or you're like trying to make it seem like you don't want to be bothered, they will most certainly think that you're hiding something.

00:13:59.562 --> 00:14:00.304
Make sense.

00:14:00.885 --> 00:14:03.980
It does, man it does, so what's the right thing to do?

00:14:04.975 --> 00:14:17.019
So the right thing to do when you have that situation is I always liked to have a single place of where you're positioning yourself, so it's hard to do it on the camera, but let's say that everything's in front of you.

00:14:17.662 --> 00:14:20.250
I always had one dominant left arm.

00:14:20.250 --> 00:14:23.118
I would always lean forward and I would write with my right arm.

00:14:23.118 --> 00:14:28.635
That way, I could always keep my eyes to what is going on in my peripheral.

00:14:28.635 --> 00:14:32.041
So, in other words, I would position myself closer to this way.

00:14:32.041 --> 00:14:47.846
So I knew that if the customer was going to try to see my numbers, they would have to come this way, which meant that I could always turn towards them and address them once again as people, rather than leaning forward and trying to keep them off my numbers.

00:14:47.846 --> 00:14:58.927
So when they're coming to me, instead now I'm turning to them and saying ah, this is the emotion, this is where the solution is, rather than this is where the solution is.

00:14:58.927 --> 00:15:06.076
So it's a simple measure of placing yourself to say I know where they're going to come if they were going to look, and I'm prepared for it.

00:15:06.576 --> 00:15:14.345
Yeah, so you're preparing for an engagement instead of preparing for an awkward huddle over your plate like it's a prison meal.

00:15:15.195 --> 00:15:16.259
Oh my God, that's a good reference.

00:15:17.402 --> 00:15:18.214
It just came to me.

00:15:18.414 --> 00:15:21.181
It just came to me yeah, it's all that stuff.

00:15:21.181 --> 00:15:31.206
So at the end of the day, we're always trying to solve an emotional concern and the customers are not always going to tell us exactly what's on their mind.

00:15:31.206 --> 00:15:37.421
So when we start to pick up on these little cues, we realize where they're at in the process.

00:15:37.421 --> 00:15:39.626
So now let's do a quick little recap.

00:15:39.626 --> 00:15:51.197
So, going forward, if someone were to come by and they just get up and they said that I need to do, I'm listening, but I'm just going to go do something we're recognizing, they're emotionally disengaging, that's what it is.

00:15:51.197 --> 00:15:57.581
They may say I'm listening, I'm going to pay attention, but they're not and there's a reason for that.

00:15:57.581 --> 00:16:02.645
And if we don't find that reason, we will not be successful on this call.

00:16:02.645 --> 00:16:11.011
In addition, when they come around, we're always engaging and saying what is the emotional connection, where is it at?

00:16:11.011 --> 00:16:19.707
So everything I'm going to always bring back to always says how can you better bond with someone and what can you do to recognize what they're really thinking?

00:16:20.375 --> 00:16:20.837
I love that.

00:16:20.837 --> 00:16:23.448
I love that you use the word reason, big capital, r.

00:16:23.448 --> 00:16:47.784
I mean there's so many powerful things, but of all of this it's so important to recognize the misconception even between objection and reason and how we tend to disconnect the two and we feel like an objection is a missile that we need to dodge and and solve before it blows up somewhere where it's just trying to find the reason behind it, trying to find the root cause of what's in the way here.

00:16:48.956 --> 00:16:55.441
If this is the right thing, truly, and you know it's the right thing, and I know it's the right thing, and what's the reason that we don't do it?

00:16:57.625 --> 00:16:58.024
I agree.

00:16:58.024 --> 00:17:05.490
I would say another way of looking at that, in a similar parallel, is did you go door to door or did they call you?

00:17:05.490 --> 00:17:13.467
They've obviously called you for something, but so many people feel awkward when they have someone else in their home.

00:17:13.467 --> 00:17:14.729
I mean, I know I would.

00:17:14.729 --> 00:17:19.916
If I don't know you and you're a stranger, I'm going to probably act a little bit differently than if I was a friend.

00:17:19.916 --> 00:17:32.509
So knowing these little cues to pick up on allow you to better bond with someone, not just so you can sell them on something Sell isn't the right word, it's.

00:17:32.509 --> 00:17:40.141
I'm simply assisting them in a way that they may not realize that they need at this point, and that's why these nonverbals are so important.

00:17:41.022 --> 00:17:42.065
Yeah, love it.

00:17:42.065 --> 00:17:45.623
Okay, do we have any other ones for the show today, or is that it?

00:17:46.395 --> 00:17:56.106
I would say these are the top three that came to mind, because once again, we're just running right off of it, but I would say I definitely think we could probably come with a part three if we needed to.

00:17:56.576 --> 00:18:08.748
I mean, each of these really could be drilled down into and spend 15, 20 minutes on all of them, and, of course, giving you guys exercise actionable items, a task to do from that and make the most of it.

00:18:08.748 --> 00:18:12.463
Repetition is the father of learning, can't say it enough.

00:18:12.463 --> 00:18:19.465
Another one I've used over and over repetitively, pun intended learn, do teach, learn, do teach.

00:18:19.465 --> 00:18:32.000
If this is the first time you've heard this stuff, guys, now go do it, go pay attention to it and then teach it to your helper, teach it to your partner, teach it to other people you work with, and that will stick, it will cement within your being.

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.125
So that's some of the best advice I can give.

00:18:34.125 --> 00:18:36.842
Honestly, what do we have for an action item on this stuff?

00:18:37.855 --> 00:18:43.167
So the minimum action item I would say like the bare minimum is only doing one of three.

00:18:43.167 --> 00:19:03.188
The minimum action item is do not lean forward and do not turn off your iPad when the customer comes to you, because the thing is is that if they believe that the number is where everything is and you're looking to hide said number, that is going to be a big red flag in their opinion.

00:19:03.188 --> 00:19:09.897
So if you were going to do nothing other than those three things, just do that and you'll still find you'll have a better relationship with people.

00:19:10.660 --> 00:19:11.102
I love that.

00:19:11.102 --> 00:19:19.786
And just quick, what would you say to someone that is in the closed position mistakenly and doesn't realize it until they're getting someone over the shoulder?

00:19:19.786 --> 00:19:26.076
What's the quick pivot out of this, then, and out of that awkwardness that causes you to want to lean over and crowd the plate?

00:19:26.679 --> 00:19:37.320
So, just so I understand the question correctly, do you mean like you like knee jerk, lean in, and then you're saying what do I do to like get out of that, or how do you prevent yourself from ever leaning in?

00:19:37.580 --> 00:19:47.636
yeah, I think we talked about prevention because you said, hey, I want to put myself in a position to welcome that engagement but say someone's gone too far already, and now they're.

00:19:47.636 --> 00:19:56.077
They're recalling the lesson and saying, oh darn, I'm about to do this thing and I'm feeling that reaction of hey, hey, I want to close this off so they can't see it.

00:19:56.077 --> 00:19:58.705
Is there something you would pivot and say maybe?

00:19:59.855 --> 00:20:23.336
That's actually a good question, I would say in that circumstance, if you could not avoid and you found yourself in that situation, the best thing to do is just to be open about it with the customer and say you can at least be like hey, sorry, I didn't expect to see you here, I was really just dialed into my numbers, forgive me for turning away from you and then go and say hey, would you like to sit down and?

00:20:23.376 --> 00:20:23.517
join me.

00:20:23.517 --> 00:20:28.161
I'd love to have you included in this Love that, allowing them to come back in and say, like you know, I'm sorry, I just need your reaction.

00:20:28.161 --> 00:20:30.182
I wasn't expecting to see you here, come join me.

00:20:30.182 --> 00:20:31.904
I'd be happy to have your opinion on what we're doing.

00:20:32.286 --> 00:20:36.190
Yeah, yeah and taking this back to the 30,000 foot view.

00:20:36.190 --> 00:20:38.051
I mean, this stuff is simple.

00:20:38.051 --> 00:20:45.720
Right, we're trying to stay on the same side of the line, remaining a partner in this with the homeowner and working towards a solution.

00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.607
So anytime we crowd, block, say what are you doing?

00:20:49.607 --> 00:20:53.603
Any of that kind of stuff puts us back opposite sides of the problem.

00:20:54.284 --> 00:20:54.565
Mm-hmm.

00:20:54.964 --> 00:20:58.532
That fair to say and any of that kind of stuff puts us back opposite sides of the problem.

00:20:58.532 --> 00:21:06.502
That, fair to say, yeah, it's no different than when the customer is standing behind you at the panel and the typical contractor says like I'm just going to keep quiet until the guy walks away.

00:21:06.502 --> 00:21:09.022
It's like, yeah, that's a nonverbal cue.

00:21:09.022 --> 00:21:11.434
You know, what we're doing is the exact opposite.

00:21:11.434 --> 00:21:19.707
We're saying I recognize that you want to be involved and don't know how to properly ask, but your body language is communicating that you do.

00:21:19.707 --> 00:21:36.440
So I'm going to be setting up with as many opportunities to feel involved as I possibly can and as a result of those actions, we will have a better relationship at the end and when I want to ask for the business, I'll be able to do so from the position of someone you like trust and respect.

00:21:37.142 --> 00:21:38.265
Love it, love it, love it, love it.

00:21:38.265 --> 00:21:40.058
Okay, all-star action and we'll finish up.

00:21:41.503 --> 00:21:42.246
All-star action.

00:21:42.246 --> 00:22:02.496
The all-star action is probably going to be a little bit harder because I would say I would want you to listen to part one and part two multiple times, because these cues are not easy to master and they're not easy to pick up on, but the first step you have to do is to be able to recognize that they exist.

00:22:02.496 --> 00:22:09.357
So part one is to say I need you to listen to episode one and two continuously, Keep mindful of those episodes.

00:22:09.357 --> 00:22:18.280
Then part two, or step two, is recognize and start writing down the cues and saying all right, when they look up, what does that say?

00:22:18.280 --> 00:22:20.707
When they look side to side, what does that say?

00:22:20.707 --> 00:22:26.528
When they look down, when they come behind me, when they're at the panel, what is that saying?

00:22:27.576 --> 00:22:31.627
From there, I'd say the next step is start to practice.

00:22:31.627 --> 00:22:50.125
I would literally have someone like whether it's your spouse or friend or coworker or anyone that you work with and have them actually include that in the role play when, if you're sitting down at the table just fake table have someone come behind you, practice saying hey, sorry, I didn't see you there, Please pull up a chair.

00:22:50.125 --> 00:22:54.063
I'd love to have you involved and just make sure it comes off as natural as possible.

00:22:54.063 --> 00:23:00.137
That is going to separate the all-stars from the typical person who wants to succeed in this Role.

00:23:00.137 --> 00:23:03.084
Play, master, practice repeat.

00:23:03.885 --> 00:23:04.928
I love that, I love that.

00:23:04.928 --> 00:23:07.117
And that word master comes up again.

00:23:07.117 --> 00:23:28.736
Right, we are trying to master communication, master partnership, and when you're able to take this stuff and use it for you, then you can ultimately and effectively lead that relationship to a successful outcome where there is no remorse, where you have an open communication in that relationship so that you can control the aftermath.

00:23:28.736 --> 00:23:34.909
And when I say that again, it's it's their house, our clinic, right?

00:23:34.909 --> 00:23:40.008
And this all ties back to that organic process, guys, having that well-oiled machine.

00:23:40.008 --> 00:23:56.864
We just love this stuff and we want you to have that so that it's scalable, saleable, something that you can walk away from, no matter if you need to take a week, two, three or a month maybe it's two months in your future, three or a month, maybe it's two months in your future a business that you can step back from.

00:23:56.864 --> 00:24:09.663
That represents all the autonomy and all the processes that you've worked yes, I said processes, the canadian way, the accent up here a okay, guys, we're here five days a week to help you master sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium level service.

00:24:09.962 --> 00:24:10.625
I'm clay newmeyer.

00:24:10.625 --> 00:24:11.227
This is my host.

00:24:11.227 --> 00:24:13.220

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:17.500

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:18.384
