Sales scripts often force prospects into a "Yes" or "No" scenario, perpetuating the negative stereotype of a pushy salesperson. This approach can feel unnatural, as you're immediately pitching to someone who doesn’t know you.
My perspective changed completely with the help of Unlock The Game. After a deep dive into their Mastery program materials, I had a revelation: I didn’t need to pressure people into saying "yes." Instead, I needed a genuine approach that emphasized truth and compatibility over a hard sell.
The shift involved focusing on whether there was a genuine fit rather than just pushing for a sale. I realized the importance of gauging a prospect's openness to a new idea before diving into specifics. This meant adopting a humble, conversation-starting approach:
A New Approach
Here's my opening:
"Hi, my name is Ben, and we haven’t met yet."
This simple beginning removes suspicion.
Then I ask, "Are you open to the idea of exploring a different kind of supplemental business opportunity?"
By starting with a question about their openness, I found people were more relaxed and willing to engage. This initial step often leads seamlessly into a natural conversation, rather than a rigid script.
Real Results
Recently, I called a lead using this approach. The conversation was smooth, and the prospect showed interest. Rather than pushing for a close, I remembered the advice of not applying pressure. Instead, I asked, "Where do you think we should go from here?" The prospect suggested scheduling an appointment, which was a refreshing change.
This method allows me to sell without aggression, fostering human connections. Prospects respond to me not as a salesperson, but as a genuine individual. This approach has led to booked appointments, referrals, and a noticeable lack of rejection when there's no interest. My business has grown significantly since adopting this strategy.
Key Takeaways
From Ben's story, here are some crucial pointers to guide you:
- Change your focus from "closing" to "opening" conversations.
- Ditch the rigid sales script and create a natural, pressure-free opening.
- Avoid trying to "close" at the end of your call. Instead, ask, "Where should we go from here?"
- Think of yourself as a problem-solver, not just a salesperson.
- Prioritize creating a two-way dialogue over delivering a pitch.
By shifting your approach, you can foster more genuine and productive sales conversations.
