A Deep Dive Into The Book (3:03)
The first chapter of the book is about the fact that you are the one who is hurting your profit. Discounts are given because the sales person, entrepreneur or business owner fails to believe in their own price. When you discount your price you are leaving all that extra profit on the table.
In chapter two I talk about how profit is not a dirty word. This chapter gets you thinking that profit is a beautiful word because it really allows you to do your business that much better which then allows you to serve your customers that much better.
Chapter three I discuss how to use needs and benefits to command a higher price. You position your price differently when you are focusing on the customers outcomes.
In chapter four tells you how to create real value by using your price point. If you position your price right it will work to your advantage.
Chapter five is about prospecting that works. I walk people through in terms how to call that prospecting list quickly.
Chapter six is about selling more by talking less. I show people exactly how they can dial down their conversation to get the customers to engage more. You are positioning yourself and if you position yourself right you create that level of confidence with the customer.
Chapter Seven I discuss how to skip the sales presentation. I believe that the most profitable sales, transaction and customer relationships are the ones that are gained with no sales presentation.
Toward the end of the book I talk about how to handle price objections, executing a price increase and leveraging knowledge to the fullest.
