The Approach for Clients to Hand Over Referrals

June 14, 2018 By Mike Kaselnak Leave a Comment

I’ve read over a dozen books touting that they had cracked the code on how to get referrals and hundreds of articles claiming the same thing. They are all the same drivel, repackaged. Worthless advice that does not … [Read more...]

Arouse Emtoions, Don't Sell Logic

What two crises does every sale have? Objections and “the close”. It's at these two places that the success or the failure of your sale teeters on the edge. What if you actually used these two crisis moments to create deeper rapport with your prospect instead of the stress they normally create? When you learn to do this, you'll see an immediate doubling of your income. Am I making wild claims about income? Award-winning research scientist Dr. William R.

Three Ways to Have Better Conversations With Your Prospects or Clients

November 2, 2017 By Mike Kaselnak Leave a Comment

For years we have assumed that extroverts were better salespeople. Extroverts rule the room. They have no problems meeting new people. They are naturally gifted people in social situations. But what does the science teach us? There have been many studies over the past ten years that evaluated this myth… 35 studies to be exact. The verdict? What they found may surprise you. Let’s take a recent study done by professor Adam Grant at the Wharton School of Management. His team examined the … [Read more...]

How to Write the Perfect Whitepaper for Your Business

September 21, 2017 By Mike Kaselnak 2 Comments

Even with a very targeted list, only 10% of people will see an immediate need for what you offer. The other 90% may have a future need, but not right now.  So, how do you make sure they are thinking about you when the need does come up? To stay front and center in the mind of a prospect, you need to do two things. First, make sure you have a good drip program and touch them with helpful contacts on a regular basis.

Excellent Way of Handling the “I Need to Think About it” Objection

June 16, 2017 By Mike Kaselnak Leave a Comment

You should expect objections and you should not be surprised by them! Of course, people are going to have some questions (objections) before they purchase or invest with you. So don’t get defensive, instead welcome the question or objection as your prospects desire to move the process forward. If they didn’t want to work with you they would just quit the process straight out. I’ve never heard an objection that wasn’t valid when looked at from the prospect’s perspective. So, instead of getting … [Read more...]

How Providing Exact Information Can Lead to More Clients

October 25, 2016 By Mike Kaselnak Leave a Comment

In our business it is easy to be viewed as a commodity.  We all sell, promise and offer pretty much the same as our competitors…at least that’s the case if you ask the general public.  So, I think it is worth taking a look at why and when people are willing to pay for information.
