The CFO Report

101. The 2 MOST Effective Ways To Get A Know-It-All Client To Listen

I love working with super smart clients, especially those who understand numbers. 

We can typically make progress more quickly when the client comes in with a fundamental understanding of how numbers work. 

But the reality is that it can be really challenging to sell to leads who have a fundamental understanding of numbers, particularly people like engineers or people with MBAs and degrees like that. 

But you still have to sell to them. 

In today's episode of the CFO Report, I'm going to walk you through exactly how I sell to people 

that are already strong with numbers, and I will give you some specific guidance on how to do it when working with confident alpha males. 

Let's dive in.
