The Money Podcast Asking for Money (& Getting Over Yourself)
Have you ever had any problems asking for money? Or have you ever asked for too little, when you wanted to get more? Tune in today, to the Money Podcast with finance raising expert Rob Moore to hear why you should never be afraid of asking for money.
Discover how to reverse sell anything and ask for money, without de-positioning yourself or actually asking for the money upfront or directly. Learn how to network and build relationships with people on a business and personal level. Build trust and rapport and naturally, you will come to a deal and begin talking money.
If you’re looking to get a pay rise, wanting you to earn more money in your business or simply seeking joint-venture finance, this episode is for you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Ask yourself, why are YOU uncomfortable asking for money? Or is asking for money, not an issue and you’re not getting it anyway?
- Always have a testing mentality and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. See everything as a test instead of an absolute decision and as a result, you will take the pressure off of yourself and begin making binary choices. Either A or B or black or white. If you don’t test and take action you’ll never know what could have been. How will you feel in five or ten years time when your business hasn’t progressed because you didn’t ask for the money?
- Always consider, what is the bigger pain and the make the decision that’s best for you. What’s worse, not getting any money? Or not asking for any money?
- Never fall into desperation and ask for money for your needs. Always pitch for money with the investors needs first. Remember the benefits and solution you’re offering the investor.
- When you’re looking to raise finance don’t only ask for the deposit. As investors, we assume we’re asking for too much. This is because that ‘too much’ figure is relative to what you deem to be expensive. It’s better to ask for more and get less than to ask for what you need and not get it all.
What are your problems asking for money?
- People might perceive you as greedy and money hungry
- Maybe you fear rejection or ridicule
- Perhaps you don’t have the credibility to ask for money
