The things that we picked up that can, you can apply. You know, we, we allow 24 people and they come from all different states in the 24, there were 18 different industries and there were entry level to 36 years salty dog veterans in sales.
[00:00:24] But what I did was I do mutilate. Over the course of those three days, the things that were coming out of her mouth that they needed, they knew they needed to have mastery over. So I get them to fill out a sheet before. What are the things you most want to learn to apply to your business? Now there's 20 of them.
[00:00:44] I want you to get out a pad because we're going to do. We're going to give you the 20, and then you're going to do a, an assessment of where you are with these 20. So we're going to start on the left side. The first one. And here's the, here's the [00:01:00] thing you want to ask yourself when I give this to you?
[00:01:02] When we do the assess, do I have mastery over this? Am I executing this and am I getting results from it? So have I mastered this? Do I consistently execute these things? And is it delivering quantifiable results? Number one. Do I have a complete and clear understanding of my product and or service. Now I'm not talking about the benefits here I'm talking about.
[00:01:28] Do I understand my product, the features of my product? That's number one, if I go too fast, you stop me. Number two, you, I have a complete sales process. So if I was sitting across the table from. If I was sitting across the table from Chris and I handed you a pad and a pen, and I said, draw out your sales process.
[00:01:50] I didn't say marketing. I said, sales number three. Do I have a clear defined target [00:02:00] market for each of my products or services? Number four, do I have a tracking? Am I tracking everything and do I have a way to track everything, every aspect of my business and every aspect of the sales process. Number five, do I have concrete clear value propositions for each of my products and services?
[00:02:28] I'm going to go into depth on each of these, but I want, I want to get this complete thing done. First. Number six. Do I have mastery of all communication skills, whether it's Myers-Briggs animals, colors, disc, am I a master communicator? Number seven, is my messaging clear? Am I posting on social media consistently?
[00:02:56] Number eight, do I have concrete [00:03:00] scripts from web when I'm approaching someone? For example, in our bootcamp, we master out scripts. When you're calling someone how to navigate the gatekeeper, how to get returned phone calls. Okay. I have people come from all over the world for that. And on day three, we make live outbound calls.
[00:03:21] We just finished. We made 400 calls. We had a 70% conversion to. We got through 92% of the gatekeepers. We got 47 returned phone calls, same day, and we closed $200,000 worth of hard money. Very tactical, very scripted, very concise. Next, do I have a complete lead generation program?
