(20:20) Quotable Moments: “You can’t past that next level which is that $750K and towards the $1,000,000 unless you have a system across all of your businesses. And this is not just from the marketing standpoint but you need to develop systems to each of those new levels and new heights.” “I think that’s the way true brilliance and true expertise lie is when you can make things simple to understand and your confident in what you do.” “When people show us funnels and especially when we see their campaigns and stuff, they don’t give people the option to take the next step. Like well if I opt-in for something, generally speaking, I want to get an outcome. I don’t go around opting in just for fun.” “That ‘Thank You’ Page for us is one of the most expensive pieces of real estate to just disregard.” Other Tidbits: There’s more than one way to skin a cat as many of us have all heard, and hopefully don’t have too much personal experience with. This concept really applies to Kim as he came to find out when it came to webinars. He saw that his skill wasn’t selling to people over the video as most extroverted people are. He instead saw that he was best at selling to people over the phone. As he realized this he began to change his model of webinars to get as many people to buy in before the webinar even started.

Why Dave Decided to Talk about Our Vulnerabilities: People buy on emotion. This requires you to connect with your audience. There is no better way than by being vulnerable. But “How Vulnerable”? There is a fine line from being authentically vulnerable and being vulnerable only to sell. People can see right through this and it can hurt you more than help you. Dave reveals an example of where being totally vulnerable actually connected with the audience and helped sell over 50,000 copies of an E-book in less than 5 months. Tips and Tricks for You and Your Business: Natalie, a good friend of Dave’s, is a prime example of using your vulnerabilities in marketing. (1:32) Dave gives us an example of vulnerability from his own life to help us all see how it correlates to our own marketing (7:34) We learn that what you might perceive as a hindrance is an opportunity to explore for others. (11:16) Quotable Moments: “The fascinating thing to me is the massive amount of success she had because she connected so pure, and so raw, and so vulnerable. “ “I see a lot of people who use vulnerability as a power tool to almost take advantage of people. That’s not what I’m talking about here. This vulnerability is how you truly feel” “This wheelchair wasn’t a symbol of limitation. It was a symbol of freedom.” Other Tidbits: Vulnerability lets people know your real, so it better be real. There is nothing that will hurt your business and credibility in the industry than presenting yourself as someone you’re really not. If you truly want to help those in your influence, then you need to show them how the product has helped people like them. That person can potentially even be you. When we allow ourselves to become vulnerable with our audience we build a relationship with them. And what happens when you have a relationship with somebody? They trust you. With this trust your audience will be more willingly to confide in you and trust you with their testimonials.

Why Dave Chose to Interview Linh Trinh: Linh Trinh is a master at selling high ticket products. The best part is he sells them by creating undeniable truth. Basically, he helps the prospect realize what Linh is offering is the best way for them to get the results that they want. If you believe in what you sell you have a moral obligation to be the best and do whatever it takes to help others. Linh reveals his secrets to helping 1,000s of people get what they want and shows you how you can to. Tips and Tricks for You and Your Business: Linh’s weapon of choice is the webinar funnel for his clients, and his delivery system for it had to change. (3:57) Linh has helped us see the importance of proposing “undeniable truths”. (7:26) We can get our customers to see that they are in pain without our solution, the next step is helping them see the possibility of relief we have to give them. (10:00) Once we show our audience their pain and possibility they are ready to remember how no one has helped them yet and that this is their problem. (12:23) DON’T SELL FEATURES TO YOUR AUDIENCE. (14:42) Linh emphatically lets us in on if we want to provide true value to our community we need to charge the price that will allow us to provide it. (17:59) Quotable Moments: “When you offer something for free, people don’t value your time. So, what would happen is I would have 3 or 4 of my coaches just waiting around having appointments booked. And they would sit around all day just waiting for people.” “The really specific questions allow them to visualize the scenario and then allows them to answer the question.” “The whole coaching process begins even before the coaching begins, it begins at the sales call. The sales call in itself is a ‘breakthrough call’.” Other Tidbits: Linh doesn’t sell features that come with his services, his logic is that when you talk about all of the features your product includes it more often causes uncertainty than persuasion.
