I know y'all are here for, we're
here for cold calling live, but
2
:it's even with the twist today.
3
:We're going to tell you what that
twist is, but before we do that,
4
:uh, we're going to talk about Jack,
Jack, introduce yourself to everyone.
5
:Tell us where you're from, what's
up, and we're about to get into it.
6
:Hello, my name is Jack.
7
:I'm from the United Kingdom.
8
:Um, and I am the better half of Jack
and Zach, uh, formerly known as the
9
:artist Wham, AKA we have a meeting.
10
:Um, so we run an agency that helps
their clients, uh, helps our clients
11
:get in front of their dream clients by
using the good old fashioned telephone.
12
:So we are big into our sales
psychology, cold calling all things.
13
:When it comes to cold calling,
I'm usually, um, I'm usually
14
:in a room with Jon Snow.
15
:Jon Snow's not here today.
16
:It's just me and Morgan.
17
:Yeah, just us.
18
:And, uh, I'm your host, Morgan.
19
:Uh, I work with Cognizant as a
creative advisor, but also a content
20
:creator and I founded AMP and we
help With influencer marketing.
21
:And we're here today to talk
about sales, which I have learned
22
:a lot about Jack has as well.
23
:And there's a lot of things
that we're going to talk about.
24
:So what did we learn today?
25
:Tips on the perfect pitch.
26
:What is that ultimate pitching champion?
27
:We're talking about what
that means here in a minute.
28
:And then we'll have obviously live
feedback on cold calls and Q and A.
29
:So first thing I want to
go to is Jack, what's your.
30
:Tips on the perfect pitch, or maybe
there isn't a perfect picture.
31
:Maybe this isn't even really a
thing, but what is your tips on this?
32
:How can someone get better at this?
33
:Can I, can I be a really typical
salesperson for a minute?
34
:You can, you can.
35
:When you, when you say pitch,
what do you mean exactly?
36
:Yeah.
37
:So clarifying question for sure.
38
:So we're talking about.
39
:Someone's like, Hey, what
do you do on a cold call?
40
:And now you have to explain
what you do on that cold call.
41
:And you have to go into your
22nd, 32nd, whatever it is.
42
:Maybe.
43
:Okay.
44
:So what, so like an elevator
pitch, yeah, yeah, cool.
45
:So you're not like, you might, you might
start a call, but you lead with the
46
:problems and they're like, what do you do?
47
:We, we like to make it.
48
:All about the prospects.
49
:Okay.
50
:So like, I think it's easy
to say what not to do.
51
:Don't lead with your rewards.
52
:Don't lead with any buzzwords.
53
:Like it's all about them.
54
:So one of the things we like
to do is called the Ikea curve.
55
:So, you know, are you, are you
familiar with the Ikea curve, Morgan?
56
:I'm actually, I'm actually not.
57
:Are you familiar with Ikea?
58
:I'm familiar with Ikea.
59
:I bet you went there
when you were in Europe.
60
:So the Ikea curve, so it feels
better when the prospect builds it
61
:themselves, you know, at the end when
you've done your, your, your three
62
:piece sofa, you look back and you go.
63
:I did that.
64
:That feels good.
65
:Yeah.
66
:You might've had a big row with your wife.
67
:Yeah.
68
:You might be knackered.
69
:Yeah.
70
:There's seven screws left
over, but it feels good.
71
:So the Ikea curb when it comes to
pitching is, can the prospect to help you?
72
:to pitch it.
73
:So you go, okay, yeah,
what do we do exactly?
74
:Okay.
75
:And then I'd lead with some
of the problems you solve.
76
:So have you ever noticed, I
guess, let's build it together.
77
:Have you ever noticed, I guess,
in your office that you might
78
:see X problem or Y problem?
79
:They go, well, yeah, And they go, and
have you ever noticed that sometimes
80
:X problem could lead to X impact?
81
:Well, yeah, I know that.
82
:And then when that impact happened, have
you ever noticed that it leads to loss of
83
:time, loads of money spent X, Y, and Z?
84
:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
85
:Okay.
86
:So we help people fix that.
87
:And that way it's kind of keeping
them involved in the conversation.
88
:I know it's probably a bit
of a cop out answer, but.
89
:You're going to lose people when
people say, why should I use
90
:you and not your competitor?
91
:And you run in and say, well,
those guys are schmucks.
92
:We're award winning because
we're, we're human beings.
93
:And we're just an amalgamation
of all different biases
94
:on negative bias kicks in.
95
:We're not hearing all the good
things that you're saying.
96
:We're hearing all the bad things.
97
:So it's a case of like, okay, how do we
keep them engaged in the conversation?
98
:Hold their hand, walk them through it.
99
:I make them feel like they're
part of the conversation.
100
:Is that, and when you, when you,
when you do that approach, like how
101
:important, we talked about this last
time, but I want to like reiterate this.
102
:Cause some people definitely need
to just double down on this thought.
103
:How important is the tone, the
inflection, your delivery, when
104
:you're walking people through that?
105
:I feel like the more and more I get
deeper into the world of sales, I just
106
:feel like your tone and your delivery.
107
:Said so much.
108
:It's just everything.
109
:The way that you carry yourself.
110
:It's like people pick up on
energy and it's like, are you
111
:the kind of person that's needy?
112
:Or are you the kind of person
that's like, listen, I'm here.
113
:I always think that humor is not
always, it's not always the best
114
:thing to use depending on the, on
the person you're speaking to, but
115
:if you can get a sprinkle of humor
in, if you can make a prospect laugh,
116
:you're, you're already halfway there.
117
:So your tone, do they
feel relaxed around you?
118
:Do they feel like you're a trustee?
119
:You can't tell somebody you're
a trusted expert, but what does
120
:a trusted expert sound like?
121
:Think about any industry
that you love, right?
122
:So let's take the soccer.
123
:Okay.
124
:Well, who are the experts in that?
125
:We might think Gary Lineker,
David Beckham, Teddy
126
:Sheringham, all of these people.
127
:When they're speaking about football
and they're there on match of the day,
128
:they're talking calmly and they're,
they're not rushing through it.
129
:Like it's, it's, they, they
sound like they belong.
130
:That's the question you
want to ask yourself.
131
:Do you sound like you belong?
132
:You know who I really,
let's just, I love that.
133
:You know who I really
like as a commentator?
134
:Thierry Henry.
135
:He's really good.
136
:It's a great guy.
137
:Nice class.
138
:He's class.
139
:So this is actually a
really good question.
140
:You know, we're going to get into the
live here, but I want to share this.
141
:How do you tackle some of
the larger whales, right?
142
:Enterprise accounts for those of
you for contextual, if you know
143
:that is, uh, it's often difficult
to find the correct contact.
144
:And once you get there, they're
often a close personality.
145
:Are you finding that Jack, or
do you find that this is just so
146
:situational because people are people.
147
:It depends what, what
close personality means.
148
:Because nobody has a closed personality,
because I bet if you take these to
149
:a summer barbecue, stick a load of
Stella Artois down their throat, I bet
150
:they're not a closed off personality.
151
:Take them to the pub,
it changes a little bit.
152
:Exactly.
153
:Yeah.
154
:Like, so.
155
:So when you say a closed personality,
I'd probably like maybe, um,
156
:understand what, what, what
different personality types are.
157
:So if you type in disc personalities
on Google images, there's a great,
158
:like there's a great breakdown of
what the different personalities are.
159
:So what you're probably referring
to is closed off is more.
160
:High D.
161
:Okay, so if they're high
D, what do they like?
162
:They like it direct.
163
:They like to be assertive.
164
:They like to be in control.
165
:They don't like to have their time wasted.
166
:Okay, so how do I approach people that
prefer to be communicated with like that?
167
:How would you tackle a whale?
168
:Well, there's a lot of,
yeah, I think, I think, so
169
:the biggest thing that the key
here is It's like, I forgot which
170
:animals in jungle, so it's not a good
example, but every, everything is
171
:correlated to like how you approach
the situation in terms of your fear.
172
:Right.
173
:So if you come confident that
people will be confident in
174
:what you have to say, right.
175
:If they sense any type of fear that
you're, you are, you are going to close,
176
:close off because they're going to like,
you know what you're talking about.
177
:So I find that if you're
going after a whale, right.
178
:Typically, that's probably a
public account, a public company.
179
:I always like just going to
the 10k report real quick.
180
:Don't read, you don't have
to read the whole thing.
181
:All right.
182
:I don't encourage you to, if you feel
so inclined to do what you got to do.
183
:And I just go to the management's,
uh, comment and analysis section.
184
:And inside that section, they
typically have like, here are
185
:the things that we're focused on.
186
:Here are things that we, uh, God,
that was bad, whatever it may be.
187
:And so what I do from there is I
just read what's going on there.
188
:And now when I come to the conversation,
I can come with some contextual insight.
189
:So that's just like another
way of going about it.
190
:But ultimately what this comes down
to is like your confidence in talking
191
:to that person, because if you do
sound off, they will be like, I don't
192
:know about this person, at least
that's what I've seen from listening
193
:to calls and doing them myself.
194
:I think it's, yeah, that 1 million
percent is so easy to say, like,
195
:how do we tackle these people?
196
:Because they're closed off.
197
:I guess the question to ask yourself
is if I was the CEO of Salesforce.
198
:Would I be interested in what I'm
saying and the way I'm saying it?
199
:Like really think, if you're
like calling people up and pitch
200
:slapping them, would you, would you,
would you want to take that call?
201
:Or are you somebody that's got something
that actually solves a genuine problem
202
:and you can prove it and you, you've
got a reason to be, like you've got
203
:a compelling reason to call them.
204
:Listen, I called you like get there first.
205
:Listen, I appreciate you are the CEO.
206
:You're probably gonna point me in
the right direction, but I just
207
:want to be brave and call you.
208
:Can I tell you why I've called you in
20 seconds and if it's not relevant?
209
:Yeah, you can tell me to go away.
210
:Yeah, go on then.
211
:And then you give a compelling reason.
212
:Well, yeah, we are doing that.
213
:That's a marketing problem.
214
:Here's what we're doing
at the moment to solve it.
215
:Okay.
216
:How against introing me would you be?
217
:So you you, you've gone for this
closed off high D personality.
218
:Yeah.
219
:They may not, they may not be the one
that has a meeting with you, but all
220
:of a sudden you've got a referral,
you've been taken down, now you've
221
:got a new influencer, a new champion.
222
:Then you can work your way back up.
223
:'cause you've already
had that conversation.
224
:It's, it's, yeah.
225
:I love this stuff, Morgan.
226
:I love with you.
227
:I know, I know, I know.
228
:Thank you.
229
:It's, it's fantastic.
230
:It's always a great time.
231
:I was living with you.
232
:So, uh, let us know if that
helps answer your question.
233
:There, James, uh, from our perspective,
we have some more questions rolling in.
234
:I'm going to get two more and then
we're going to get to the actual
235
:cold calling live piece, because
that's what you're here for, but
236
:these aren't such good questions.
237
:I want to make sure that
we could get into this.
238
:So this is this one here.
239
:Okay.
240
:Okay.
241
:So this is, I actually
like this one here, Toby.
242
:Thanks, Toby.
243
:How do you best structure a follow
up message for all the times that you
244
:don't get through to some, someone
to make them warmer towards you?
245
:Once you do get through.
246
:So I'm assuming here, that's
like, Hey, like I reached
247
:out to someone via cold call.
248
:What's a, I guess a voicemail, an
email that you can be sending them.
249
:So when you actually do finally get on
them on the phone, how do you make sure
250
:that it's warm, a warmer conversation?
251
:It's such a, it's such a hard
question to answer, isn't it?
252
:Because it's, it's, it's one of
those, it's like, how do you make
253
:someone, Have you ever seen Bruce
Almighty, the film, Jim Carrey?
254
:Is it, is it, like, how, how, how do I
make you fall in love with me, Morgan?
255
:It's like, you, you,
you, how do I do that?
256
:Like, everybody wants to know how to
win the perfect person of their dreams.
257
:Like, it's, it's like, It's hard.
258
:Can you do certain things?
259
:The issue is depending on your persona,
so like who you're reaching out to, some
260
:people absolutely love if you drop them
an email with something personalized and
261
:some people won't see it and some people
it will frustrate them and annoy them.
262
:So like.
263
:I think it is contextual.
264
:I don't want to, I know it's election
week and all that, but I don't want
265
:to give a politician's answer, but,
but just something short and sweet.
266
:I'll tell you something here.
267
:We will want in, um, I won't say
what we were buying, but we were
268
:once in competition with two big
competitors to buy something.
269
:Okay.
270
:And we sat down with both of these
competitors and one of the guys,
271
:um, threw us into a cadence where we
got an email every couple of days.
272
:Okay.
273
:It did our head in and that was
probably the thing that like said,
274
:actually, we don't want to go with them
because we were just in this ongoing.
275
:So sometimes people love touch points
and sometimes people hate them.
276
:So it's very hard.
277
:Have you got a go to a generic
go to Morgan to try and make
278
:people warmer towards you?
279
:It's very situational.
280
:I think I think this is not a.
281
:I think there are some answers
where it's like, here's the exact
282
:process, you know, go do that.
283
:I think this is more so a
mindset in a psychological piece.
284
:I always tell people, if you think about
the best follow up message is you have to
285
:think about how to interrupt the pattern.
286
:And I just want you to think about that.
287
:Like if I were to reach out to this
person, how can I interrupt their pattern?
288
:So when they do engage or respond or
whatever it may be, it's just something
289
:different that they haven't seen before.
290
:So for example, if you sit, if you do
a, let's say you call someone and then
291
:you, maybe you could do a voicemail
and then say, Hey, you know what?
292
:I'm going to send you a video on LinkedIn.
293
:Right.
294
:So that just, you know, Because
that's different than what
295
:they probably typically get.
296
:And that's going to
create a warmer approach.
297
:So I just think about follow ups
as in how do I do pattern erupts?
298
:That's different.
299
:So they do engage with me.
300
:So that's what I would say there.
301
:Just stand out like the, uh, like the
scarecrow be outstanding in your field.
302
:Okay, cool.
303
:So we're going to, we're going to go
to this and then we're going to go
304
:to some live stuff, Jack, what are
your best phrases and openers that
305
:warm up your prospects with humor?
306
:Have we got Josh Braun in the audience?
307
:No, it's just will with the,
with the, it's just, well, with
308
:the, with the profile picture.
309
:That is a slander.
310
:Josh Braun, no.
311
:It's like, uh, it take a break from
riding his bike to kick your bum.
312
:Um, what are your best phrases and
openers, the warm up your prospect with.
313
:So we're thinking openers.
314
:It's my favorite, but like over, over time
is like, um, I've kind of developed it
315
:a little bit, but it's like, if you hear
someone's driving, so like the classic
316
:is, I'll be honest, it's a sales call.
317
:You can hang up.
318
:Let me have 30 seconds.
319
:Cool.
320
:That is your staple.
321
:Now there's many different,
um, kind of variations.
322
:If someone's driving, I'll say,
Morgan, I'll be very honest.
323
:I've cold called you while you drive in.
324
:I don't know if that makes you want
to throw your phone out the window,
325
:reverse over it, or let me run through
in 30 seconds, completely up to you.
326
:It's just being situational.
327
:I don't know if you want to
slam the phone against the wall.
328
:I don't know if you want to drop kick.
329
:Your phone into next door, into
your next door neighbor's garden.
330
:Or let me have 30 seconds.
331
:Um, it is, I think the humor comes in
with like the adaptability piece, like how
332
:quick are you at thinking on your feet?
333
:So I know that if we'll said
something once where it was like,
334
:I'll give you something to chew on
or something like that, but it's
335
:like, that's the kind of stuff that
you can't, you can't prepare for.
336
:Yeah.
337
:But you can't prepare for it.
338
:It's like you.
339
:If you're the kind of person that needs to
write jokes like there and you don't have
340
:that like quick fire, like if you work in
sales, go to an improvisation class, like
341
:think about how can I think on my feet?
342
:Um, like we've had some bizarre
ones that I probably won't share
343
:because I might get canceled.
344
:and then you'll have Zach back
and I won't be invited next time.
345
:But yeah, I think just like think
on your feet, think about like what,
346
:and like what, what could go wrong?
347
:They might not laugh.
348
:Cool.
349
:They might not have
liked your opener anyway.
350
:No, I think something, uh, to note that's
like really important is when you're
351
:like doing these different things and
thinking about it this is to find What
352
:your pace and style is more than anything.
353
:And to your point, a lot of people
can be situational, like the
354
:delivery of saying outrageous things.
355
:Only certain people can really do that.
356
:Right.
357
:Like I'll say things in a
certain way, but what you said, I
358
:probably couldn't say it at all.
359
:But like, that's just like not
my delivery, but I think everyone
360
:needs to figure out like what your
delivery is and how you go about it.
361
:So it just feels natural.
362
:So people are like, wait,
that doesn't make any sense.
363
:Like.
364
:You got to feel natural with it.
365
:And I think that's what
you have to test yourself.
366
:And most of the time, you know what
that is because instinct, like instinct
367
:wise in the moment when you're doing
something, you know, you should be
368
:saying X or Y or whatever it may be.
369
:And you can easily make that adjustment
and be like, you know, I actually,
370
:you know, I should say it this way.
371
:So these are just all these things that
you could do that leads to success.
372
:You can read people.
373
:Everybody, everybody has walked
into a room before and gone.
374
:It was tense in here.
375
:Doesn't it?
376
:What are people not saying?
377
:What, what are you not hearing?
378
:If some, if, if, if you ring somebody
and they're like, hello, hello.
379
:Yeah.
380
:It was like, Hmm, this person's mood.
381
:I'm going to try it.
382
:Yeah.
383
:They're not laughing.
384
:There's no chocolate.
385
:Yeah.
386
:Go on.
387
:Okay.
388
:It's probably high day.
389
:I need to.
390
:So it's like play a
game that when somebody.
391
:answers the phone, can I, can
I just match them automatically
392
:to, can I sound like their voice?
393
:If they're really loud and bright, yeah,
but if there's quiet and softer, if they
394
:speak very slowly, if they're older,
play that little game with yourself.
395
:For sure.
396
:Frameworks over scripts, prospecting
here, using a script a mile away.
397
:I also agree with that as well.
398
:Frameworks are very, very impactful.
399
:They're very powerful as well.
400
:And I see we have more
questions coming in.
401
:We're going to get to those,
but we're going to, we're
402
:going to have some fun here.
403
:So what's going to happen in this segment.
404
:And if you want to come up by the way and
do a live cool call, you can, but we're
405
:actually going to Jack be the seller.
406
:So he's been giving you all tips.
407
:And now he's got to do it.
408
:He's got to do it now.
409
:He's gonna do it in real action.
410
:And I'm the process.
411
:I didn't know this was the twist.
412
:This is the twist.
413
:You're the rep.
414
:Hey, you just talked about humor.
415
:So now you're gonna use it in real time.
416
:We're going to, we're going
to see now we're going to see
417
:what you were talking about.
418
:So here's the scenario.
419
:Here's the scenario.
420
:All right.
421
:You are going to be selling a webinar
management software to VP of marketing.
422
:I'm the VP of marketing.
423
:So webinar software,
webinar management software.
424
:I'm the VP of marketing.
425
:You're selling to me and you're going to
pitch it in the way that you, whatever
426
:you want to do, you can start the call.
427
:However you want.
428
:The goal is to book a meeting with me.
429
:Uh, and I am the VP of marketing.
430
:And so that's good.
431
:That's going to be the gist.
432
:So you all in the audience can
give comments, ask questions.
433
:We're actually going to
do this in real time.
434
:Uh, so we're going to see, we're
going to see if Jack's funny.
435
:Let's see if I laughed
during this as a prospect.
436
:No, that's, that's not the goal.
437
:You were talking about
making everybody laugh.
438
:That's, is that how you hit the corner?
439
:It's like, I'm not a clown, Morgan.
440
:Funny, huh?
441
:As long as you make them laugh.
442
:Right.
443
:That's how you get meanings.
444
:Is that the next, is that your next post?
445
:Here's how to make your
prospect laugh five ways.
446
:I like that.
447
:I might do it.
448
:That's actually, I
actually might hit that.
449
:Something might, we'll, we'll
actually might take that before you.
450
:Yeah, you will.
451
:Hot dog boy.
452
:Um, can I ask, can I ask a few
questions just before we jump in?
453
:Obviously I don't sell them a webinar
management software yet, but if, if
454
:you were a VP of marketing, what, what
problems typically would you be having?
455
:um, facing when it comes to webinar.
456
:So what, what are the big problems?
457
:Yeah.
458
:Uh, late latency.
459
:So I run a webinar and it lags.
460
:Uh, two is the data's not good analytics.
461
:I don't know what my.
462
:Um, average, I don't know
what my attendance rate is.
463
:My, I don't know what my, my, let's say
registration list, all those things.
464
:I wouldn't know what those were.
465
:My analytics are bad.
466
:Um, the conversion of video to social.
467
:So like we do this right now.
468
:And then if I were to, for example,
export this video and then put it
469
:on social, it would be bad quality.
470
:I think those are
probably the main things.
471
:If I was a VP of marketing,
if I was looking at a webinar.
472
:Platform.
473
:Does it actually record the content and,
and, uh, so I can upload it as an MP4 and
474
:then put it on like YouTube, whatever.
475
:Those are the things I'd be looking at.
476
:Can you just tell the audience?
477
:I didn't, I wasn't briefed about this.
478
:What you're going to
hear is unadulterated.
479
:Oh, okay.
480
:So he says, but no, he doesn't know.
481
:This is a little surprise.
482
:He actually doesn't know.
483
:So this is the surprise.
484
:Okay.
485
:Okay,
486
:cool.
487
:I'm ready.
488
:Could I ask you, on a scale of 1 to
10, how much of a cheeky prospect
489
:are you going to be, Morgan?
490
:Oh, you just got the guess.
491
:You got the efficacy.
492
:Depends on how your intro is.
493
:Depends on how I feel
about how your intro is.
494
:That's how I'm going to respond.
495
:You don't know what type
of person I'm going to be.
496
:And be, and this is a stupid
question, but I've got to ask
497
:you, are you, are you American?
498
:Do you want me to be someone else?
499
:No, but it, but if you're American,
I'm going to do it one way.
500
:If you're British, I'm
going to do it another way.
501
:If you're Norwegian, I'm not going to.
502
:I don't know.
503
:I feel like if I'm American, I'm
just going to like your accent.
504
:And then I might just be looped.
505
:I might be lured in.
506
:You know, so let me, for the, for the
sake of it and to not hurt anyone's
507
:ears of the other accents that I can
go try, let me just be an American.
508
:Okay, cool.
509
:Cool.
510
:Can you make a ringing noise?
511
:Can I hear your best telephone impression?
512
:Ring ring.
513
:That's not Morgan, is it?
514
:Uh, it is.
515
:Morgan, I'll be very honest with you
because we've never spoken before.
516
:Um, it is a sales call, I guess.
517
:Can I run through in 30 seconds
why I've chosen to call you?
518
:And if you think it's a waste of your
time by the end, we can leave it there.
519
:I guess I, I'm not a fan of sales
calls, but I guess you, you, you can go.
520
:Okay.
521
:Well, Morgan, I can run
through it in 30 seconds.
522
:If by the end you think you hate my
British accent and you think I'm wasting
523
:your time, we can leave it there.
524
:Is that fair?
525
:Yeah, sure.
526
:Brilliant.
527
:Um, so Morgan, I'm typically invited
in by, uh, ambitious VPs of marketing.
528
:If they are completely honest,
they might be struggling with one
529
:of the following problems when
it comes to hosting webinars.
530
:So they might recognize that when they
host their webinars, there's like a lag.
531
:It kind of, it drags them.
532
:Which can lead to an
unhappy user experience.
533
:If it's not that it could be like the
analytics don't live up to expectations,
534
:which means it's harder to provide a,
an ROI when feeding back to the CEO.
535
:Or finally, it could be actually when
it, when it's converting the video.
536
:So actually like chopping up those,
uh, those brilliant webinars that you
537
:do and, and pushing them to social,
the conversion rate isn't good enough.
538
:Um, and it leads to poor
quality social media clips.
539
:I have a feeling you're probably
going to tell me you didn't
540
:recognize any of those problems.
541
:Uh, the webinar, webinar software
you use at the moment is perfect and
542
:nothing could be changed in your world.
543
:I mean, nothing's ever,
ever a perfect Jack.
544
:You know that.
545
:I feel like we have a little bit of
Some latency, but we've been set.
546
:We set up this webinar event platform.
547
:We've had it for three years.
548
:We've set it up.
549
:We don't really want to pull it out.
550
:So we appreciate you calling,
but, um, I think we're set.
551
:That's fair.
552
:Can I ask one last question
before I let you go?
553
:Yeah, sure.
554
:You said that you've A little bit of lag,
but it's been like this for three years.
555
:So I guess when you went to the,
the, the management software and
556
:said there is a little bit of
lag, what, what did they tell you?
557
:Uh, yeah, they've made some tweaks and
it gets better for a little bit, but
558
:then it goes back, uh, to the latency.
559
:So we've just dealt with it.
560
:It's been, it is what it is.
561
:We don't really want to make a switch.
562
:So like I said, I think we're set.
563
:Okay.
564
:No, that, that's absolutely fair.
565
:Um, I'm just trying to really understand
your, your kind of world at the moment.
566
:So, so there is a bit of a
lag, but it doesn't seem to
567
:have like a knock on effect.
568
:So I guess when you ask.
569
:The, the customers or the people
that are attending your webinar, like
570
:what, what they thought after it, if
they were to rate it one on 10, what,
571
:what, what do they typically say?
572
:Uh, yeah, it's, we, we
get like an eight to 8.
573
:3, uh, around that, but yeah,
typically sometimes the latency
574
:will have a factor for sure.
575
:Like I said, it doesn't
happen every single time.
576
:Um, but again, we've had it
for a while, so we've set up
577
:a lot of things in the system.
578
:So that's why I'm saying we're set.
579
:Cause it just, it would just, you know, It
is, we don't really want to change it up.
580
:Okay.
581
:So it sounds like it is a problem,
but you're actually happy with it
582
:because it would be too much of
a, uh, a singular thing to change.
583
:Yeah, we just don't feel like changing.
584
:Okay.
585
:Can I, can I ask one more direct question
and then I'm going to let you go Morgan.
586
:Yeah, for sure.
587
:Okay.
588
:If you stay with this company for
the next five years and the lag
589
:continues, I guess what happens for the
business, the users, what, what knock
590
:on effect does it have for marketing?
591
:I might not be in five years, so
I guess, you know, I don't know.
592
:I don't know.
593
:That's a good question.
594
:You might not be here in five years.
595
:Yeah, it's a long time.
596
:Okay.
597
:Where are you going?
598
:Anywhere?
599
:No, I would hope so.
600
:Lifespans are that long?
601
:Five years is a long time, but if
602
:that's the case though, um, you
know, I think that we would be okay.
603
:Uh, okay.
604
:I think that's just where we're at.
605
:Like, I think a switch would cause more
could potentially cause more problems.
606
:And I think that's what
people said internally.
607
:If we get another platform that has the
same latency or the worst latency, we have
608
:to go through all these different changes.
609
:So that's why I said, I think,
I think we're set nothing too
610
:crazy that we want to change here.
611
:Sure.
612
:And out of the three, the
webinar lagging, that was the
613
:only one that stood out to you.
614
:It feels like everything when it comes
to analytics and the conversion in social
615
:media clip, that's all running perfectly.
616
:Yeah.
617
:Those, those work fine.
618
:But again, to, to the latency point
when it does lag, right, the clips
619
:don't sometimes come out, right.
620
:So that it does impact it to a degree.
621
:What do you, sorry, what do you mean?
622
:I don't know.
623
:Yeah.
624
:So, I mean, if it's, if it's,
if the webinar software is
625
:lagging, then the video can come
out a little choppy sometimes.
626
:Okay, but I guess that it doesn't
happen all the time, the lagging.
627
:So it feels like it probably doesn't
have that much of a knock on effect.
628
:Yeah.
629
:Yeah.
630
:It doesn't happen often, but
when it does, yes, it does.
631
:It does impact that for sure.
632
:Okay.
633
:And, and those, those kind of social
clips that you use and what, what
634
:are they typically to, to promote?
635
:Promote on LinkedIn, uh, take
the speaker's stuff and then
636
:we might put it on, uh, Twitter
or X they call it nowadays.
637
:I don't know what's going on over
there, but yeah, that will happen.
638
:Okay.
639
:So it sounds like sometimes it's
lagging when you convert it and
640
:you provide it to the speaker.
641
:They might not have the best quality
in terms of like social media clips.
642
:Yeah.
643
:Sometimes it's, yeah, it's not the best.
644
:Okay.
645
:But it feels like you've never had
any speakers complain that they're
646
:always quite happy with the quality.
647
:We've had one, but you know, okay.
648
:One swallow doesn't make a summer.
649
:Yeah.
650
:That's what I heard.
651
:That's a good night though.
652
:Cool.
653
:But yeah, I mean, like I said, I
think, I think we're all saying,
654
:you're like, if you want to send an
email, we'd have to check it out.
655
:If, if anything changes or any of my
teams, like, Hey, we want to check this
656
:out, but you know, that's the case there.
657
:Yeah.
658
:Can I be really honest with you?
659
:Sure.
660
:You like to be stuff or are you happy to.
661
:Yeah, uh, wrestling now.
662
:Okay, let's leave it there.
663
:Yeah.
664
:Um, cool.
665
:You, uh, you were very
unhelpful as a prospect, Morgan.
666
:That was the attempt.
667
:Was that, was that, was
that the brief that you got?
668
:Cause I didn't know your brief.
669
:Be the, be the most.
670
:Get give a bit, but not much, you
know, see where you went with it.
671
:Um, all right, cool.
672
:Well, you all the chat can give feedback
across the board, uh, and go into it.
673
:Um, but it's not something
you're, you don't sell webinar
674
:platforms every single day.
675
:I don't.
676
:Will you give me some
constructive criticism?
677
:Will you give feed me back?
678
:Uh, yeah, I would have, I think one
thing, and this is, I think it's also
679
:because like, I do a lot of webinars.
680
:contextually, this is probably one I
want to drill that too, is I would have
681
:gone into like, okay, the couple of
times that this went bad, was it like
682
:on a, was it like on like a webinar that
was like a big webinar, like a webinar
683
:that was like a customer webinar and
you had a lot of people and it was,
684
:and it lagged and like, what happened?
685
:I think I actually, if you would
have done that, so it opened up.
686
:Cause then it'd been like,
yeah, we actually had this one
687
:time that it lags really bad.
688
:On this 500 person webinar.
689
:And we had our drop off go for, you know,
we had 500 people in the room, whatever.
690
:And because it lags in the people
couldn't hear it went down to 300 and,
691
:you know, we got bad feedback there.
692
:And that actually lost us like a deal.
693
:Interesting.
694
:I would have very open now.
695
:Yeah.
696
:It's got three minutes.
697
:You didn't ask that you didn't ask it, but
the thing is like, like, if you would have
698
:asked that question, like, I would have
been like, yeah, like that one webinar,
699
:we did that because I look at it as in
like, you were looking at the latency.
700
:But I want to drill into like, okay,
even though there was, let's say there
701
:was three webinars that were latent,
like how big were those webinars, those
702
:three webinars could have been the
biggest webinars that I had, and like,
703
:we just like dealt with it or whatever.
704
:And because the other ones were okay.
705
:But if it was like, Hey, yeah, like the
latency was like really, really bad, like,
706
:and like, this was our biggest webinar.
707
:Then, okay.
708
:That could actually change
the conversation for sure.
709
:Yeah.
710
:Which is the style, really.
711
:I'm surprised myself and not asking,
like, just give me an example, but
712
:I think it was, cause there was
a bit of like a sniffing around.
713
:I tell you why it was like, here's
a, here's a bit of a problem, but I'm
714
:also not really interested in that.
715
:It was like, right, well, let me
get one last question and let me
716
:try and open you up a little bit.
717
:Um, Which was interesting.
718
:What did you just gave me?
719
:The biggest objection of like of
all calls, like of every sales, you
720
:know what the biggest objection Yes,
721
:the chat.
722
:Yeah, to the chat.
723
:What is the biggest objection
that Morgan gave me there?
724
:Let's see.
725
:Which is usually responsible
for the majority of, uh,
726
:like a loss of loss of deals.
727
:Send me an email.
728
:Everybody's going to
say, send me an email.
729
:People think send me an email.
730
:There we go.
731
:What's your name?
732
:Kelly.
733
:Yeah, there we go.
734
:Chain of change.
735
:Change.
736
:Change is the biggest objection, always.
737
:People don't want to change.
738
:Like, I'd rather deal with the problem.
739
:So like, being honest, like, if that
was a real life cold call, I probably
740
:wouldn't have kept pushing that far.
741
:But obviously we're here
for the really, yeah.
742
:Like you just, you, you get to a
point where you just like, yeah,
743
:but I think we're all right.
744
:Okay.
745
:Let me ask another question.
746
:Yeah.
747
:But I think we're all right.
748
:It's like, I dunno.
749
:Okay.
750
:So this is interesting.
751
:So in that scenario, it
depends on their tone for sure.
752
:But in that scenario.
753
:I always like to identify,
754
:was there another time that they
did switch and it went terribly bad.
755
:So now they're just apathetic
to switching at all.
756
:I, I get it, but like, so
yeah, but like for me, for me,
757
:it's all like problem centric.
758
:So it's like, let the problem define it.
759
:So it's like, if the problem
isn't big enough, like if the lag
760
:isn't big enough, it's not that I
was driving it with like impact.
761
:Like, okay, what's the,
what's the problem?
762
:What's, you said we get eight to 8.
763
:3.
764
:Okay.
765
:You're happy with eight to 8.
766
:3.
767
:I could have, I could have asked that
question and you might have said no, but
768
:like, and maybe it's assumptive, but 8.
769
:3 in my head is like, that's a high score.
770
:Okay.
771
:If you'd said seven or
less, we're in territory.
772
:Okay.
773
:Why didn't you say a higher number,
but like you're, you're kind of happy.
774
:Like there's no real problem there.
775
:There, there is a problem, but
there's no motivation to fix it.
776
:So yeah, if you've changed it in the past
and you've had issues, it's Is that going
777
:to drive, drive you to, I don't know.
778
:Yeah.
779
:The jury's out.
780
:I think that I, I actually
was curious on how, let me see
781
:what everyone else is saying.
782
:I'm curious to how
everyone feels about that.
783
:Do you, I guess the chat for everybody
listening in for this conversation, and
784
:I, and I did that on purpose to be like,
let me not give as much information
785
:to see what, let's see what happens.
786
:Would you all continue to push the
conversation or would you, from Jack's
787
:perspective, if this was a normal
call, you're like, Hey, like, I'm good.
788
:I actually see both sides of the coin, but
if I press publish message, will something
789
:come up or am I going to delete the
790
:whole platform?
791
:Just the button is just down.
792
:Uh, press, press publish.
793
:It'll come on the screen.
794
:Okay.
795
:Oh.
796
:So this, this is really
interesting, but it's like, great.
797
:I'm very happy to do that.
798
:What information would you like me
to send you kind of what are you,
799
:what are you most interested in?
800
:I'm happy to do that.
801
:Do you know how difficult
it was to reach you?
802
:Let's keep a record of
our brief conversation.
803
:And I promise you with the conversation,
I'll send you some information.
804
:If you find reason to cancel the
appointment, please feel free to do so.
805
:How does Tuesday at 2 PM suit you?
806
:Like for me, right.
807
:Like I'm just saying that just
feels like shoehorn, like not
808
:all meetings are created equally.
809
:It's like.
810
:You're, you're like assumptively
close in there, which is stuff that
811
:the wall for wall street teaches.
812
:It's like, do they, are they motivated?
813
:Let, let them come to you.
814
:Okay, brilliant.
815
:You've got a problem.
816
:Is there any reason we couldn't sit down?
817
:But like assumptively trying to get it
in there, they weren't emotional enough.
818
:They weren't like, they weren't
talking about their pain points.
819
:It doesn't mean they're
closed off forever.
820
:And like everybody has their own
opinion and obviously people have got
821
:to read, I get it, but it's like, I
would bet money that based on that
822
:conversation, if one of my team booked
that in, they probably wouldn't show.
823
:So then it's like, what game are we in?
824
:Are we in the game of booking meetings or
are we trying to sit down with prospects?
825
:Yeah.
826
:To lead to deals, to lead to revenue.
827
:So like think of the long game, not
just, I need to kiss enough frogs.
828
:Yeah, I know.
829
:I'm just seeing everyone's
comments in here.
830
:It would have stopped a little
while ago at the last question.
831
:Definitely not interested in
this more, more fish to catch.
832
:I think this is a good barometer for
everyone to hear it on this type of
833
:call to see, okay, would you continue?
834
:Would you not, but.
835
:Shout out to Jack for being for being
adamant and consistent for the sake
836
:of live entertainment guys You want
me to do a backflip i'll do a backflip
837
:All right y'all, uh in the q a we're
gonna go back to questions as we have
838
:a couple minutes left here And if you
would like to upvote the questions that
839
:are in here, that would be great And so
everyone's asked for the British version.
840
:I'm actually curious.
841
:Like, what is like, what is the
difference in the British version?
842
:Are you just more brash or
are you just like more cheeky?
843
:Like, what do you do there?
844
:I guess we could run it back.
845
:We could run it back, but
like, is it the same really?
846
:Or like, were you.
847
:Just saying that.
848
:Well, no, I think I actually butchered
the American one a little bit.
849
:So I think I did mess it up, but
like American one is like Morgan.
850
:I'll be very honest.
851
:We'd never spoken before.
852
:Can I run through in 30 seconds?
853
:Why I've chosen to call you.
854
:It's a little bit more chilled American.
855
:I'll be honest.
856
:It's a sales call.
857
:You can hang up or let me have 30 seconds.
858
:Americans, I don't want to say you're
sensitive because you're not, but
859
:sometimes there can be sensitivity,
especially around the word sales call,
860
:because we don't really have that in
the UK, but you guys get people ring
861
:you up saying, can I buy your house?
862
:Which I think is mad.
863
:But like there's a bit
of a wild west on it.
864
:It's like cold calling and real
real estate and stuff like that.
865
:And so I was I was
wondering if it's like Okay.
866
:So is there like a American
version, a British version?
867
:Do you have like a, is
there like a Latin version?
868
:Like how deep does this go?
869
:Now I'm actually very curious.
870
:I mean, there are, there are so many like
different cultural things, you know, like.
871
:Um, I'm trying to think of a
good like, you know, like in
872
:Japan, it's, it's rude to tip.
873
:Okay.
874
:You leave a tip.
875
:It's disrespectful.
876
:And like in, um, in some cultures, if
you say I can't, I can't remember where
877
:it is, but even some cultures, if you
say please, but like you're part of
878
:the family, they find it disrespectful
because you don't need to ask.
879
:You just say pop salt, give me salt.
880
:Because you're like asking, please,
like, why are you being so like up?
881
:Like, I don't know, weird with
us, with family and friends.
882
:Um, there's always going to be cultural
things that I don't understand.
883
:Um, for, for different kinds of locations,
but the psychology is always the same.
884
:We're using some kind
of pattern interrupt.
885
:We're trying to use some kind of mission.
886
:I know that there's sales trainers
out there that say permission based
887
:openers make you look like a beta male.
888
:And they prefer to.
889
:Go in and throw their dominance
around, like, shut up, whatever.
890
:I don't know why people hate on
the permission base opener so much.
891
:I don't know where this
hostility came in the past year.
892
:And I'm like, this still works.
893
:I don't know why we're so bad here.
894
:There's, there's two words, bro.
895
:I'll say to you, the after
hours, the after hours.
896
:Okay.
897
:So let's say, so we were
just talking about this.
898
:So I'm actually going to
bring this up as a question.
899
:When someone says, drop us an email to a
generic email, how do you get around this
900
:to get connected to a decision maker?
901
:And someone says, drop us
an email to a generic email.
902
:Is that, are we talking like an objection?
903
:Yeah.
904
:Like in the, like in the call,
they're like, Hey, send me an email.
905
:And they have, they're just saying
it's generic because obviously, yeah.
906
:Yeah.
907
:Like there's two different things.
908
:Like if they're saying, send
it to info app or hello app
909
:business, that's a generic email,
so that's one way of taking it.
910
:Like you could, um, But, but I guess
it always loops back to problem.
911
:Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
912
:Always accept it.
913
:Yeah, absolutely.
914
:I can send you an email just for
me to make sure it's relevant.
915
:Out of problem A, problem B, and problem
C, what one would you want me to focus on?
916
:Okay, give me an example.
917
:Okay, how do you know that?
918
:And then you're back into territory.
919
:Some people would just
ask for a generic email.
920
:And, and it's your job to call it out.
921
:Can I be really, that's what they meant.
922
:Info at sales at, Oh, okay.
923
:I thought it meant generic info as in
like send an email and it was generic, but
924
:okay, they're talking about the info app.
925
:Okay, cool.
926
:This is where I'd YouTube.
927
:I'd say, can I be really honest?
928
:If I send an, if I send
an email to an info app.
929
:I'm on, I'm on probation.
930
:I'll get sacked or if I, if
I send an email to an info
931
:app, my computer explodes.
932
:My computer won't let me do it.
933
:Apparently it means that people
are trying to waste my time.
934
:I don't feel like this
is going on here, Morgan.
935
:I feel like your, your email is info app.
936
:But typically nine times out of 10,
when people send me, ask me to send
937
:an email to info app, what, what do
you reckon they're trying to tell me?
938
:Yeah, it's trying to be, Yeah.
939
:So don't, okay.
940
:Well, I guess, would it be impossible
to send it to your personal email?
941
:Like, like it's deal with it like
a normal email objection, but
942
:don't be afraid to call it out.
943
:You're not your prospects footstool.
944
:You know what I mean?
945
:50, 50, always baby.
946
:Cool.
947
:Was that helpful Muhammad
to answer your question?
948
:Let us know.
949
:Uh, I think also as well, Lewis, you
had a question around send me something.
950
:I think that could also be
applicable in the same realm.
951
:So we can go into that.
952
:Um, we have a, you know, we've talked
about this quite a bit and I'm going
953
:to bring this up again because your
answer could be similar, but I think
954
:we need to like rehash this because
people have been asking this like
955
:C suite large enterprise companies.
956
:I think we just need to, we think
we need to have like a, a moment
957
:with this and I, you could tell me,
I think that we just over think the
958
:C suite and the large enterprise.
959
:When it's like, you just need
to come prepared as you were, as
960
:you should always come prepared.
961
:Now you can, you can also tell me that
you think differently, but I think
962
:that we also, I think sometimes we
overthink because it's like, it's a C
963
:suite, they're just going to body us.
964
:And they will, if you're not paying
attention, but if you come correct and
965
:you have the right context and you know
what you're saying, and you, and you have
966
:been studying your industry, you could
come credible and be prepared for this.
967
:Because also as well, if
you're cold calling a C suite.
968
:They actually don't get a lot of
cold calls to be fair because a lot
969
:of people are already afraid but I'm
curious about your perspective here.
970
:Yeah I think we just need to get out of
this habit that like c suite are these
971
:big scary people like if you've got that
perspective yeah you will fail like it's
972
:like whether I say I can or I can't uh
you're you're right like if you think
973
:c suite are going to be rude to you and
aren't going to answer your call you've
974
:got to be like I'm the underdog but
yeah I'll go in there fight and I've
975
:got I've got something good to say.
976
:And they respect that.
977
:People, people respect kind
of the, the cojones on it.
978
:So I, I think it's like that.
979
:And, and also like, don't be like, yeah,
you, yeah, you want to like, it's all very
980
:well for, for people to sit here and say
like, yeah, obviously like you want to.
981
:We want to get meetings with c suite.
982
:Yeah, I get it like yeah, that's fine
but also like don't Kind of like just
983
:brush off any of the influencers and
champions because like if it's done,
984
:right They're the people that will help
you get deals across the line They're
985
:people that will help you get in front
of the c suite the reason c suite hires
986
:all these people It's like to manage it.
987
:So it's like, if you've got the VP
of marketing, the CRO and the CTO all
988
:banging on about the same problem and
the solution, what's the CEO going to do?
989
:Well, yeah, get it.
990
:Let's, let's buy it.
991
:So it's like, just do you, do you
research to an element, um, and
992
:make sure you're well equipped.
993
:I think mindset is everything,
especially with C suite.
994
:It is.
995
:It definitely is.
996
:And let us know if that
helps answer your question.
997
:Also, everyone that's still tuned in,
let us know if this has been helpful
998
:for you in the chat, or maybe you had a
good laugh, you know, cause venturing a
999
:little bit, but let us know if this has
been helpful in the chat and yeah, we're
:
00:43:45,220 --> 00:43:48,159
going to answer a couple more and we'll
get out of here for the day, but you
:
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:49,750
know, we hope everyone is enjoying this.
:
00:43:49,750 --> 00:43:53,540
And, um, Jack will most likely be back.
:
00:43:53,700 --> 00:43:54,120
We'll see.
:
00:43:54,450 --> 00:43:58,020
Most likely that I feel
like I won't be now
:
00:44:02,890 --> 00:44:03,890
Morgan I love it.
:
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:04,210
I do.
:
00:44:04,660 --> 00:44:07,070
I mean like I've got a family.
:
00:44:07,150 --> 00:44:11,370
I've got a six month old, baby I'd
rather be here with you talking
:
00:44:11,370 --> 00:44:13,400
about cold calls the whip my family.
:
00:44:14,059 --> 00:44:19,330
Well, so that's what someone has
asked us This is now, this is actually
:
00:44:19,330 --> 00:44:21,050
the most upvoted question here.
:
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,170
And this is Josh, he's back.
:
00:44:25,380 --> 00:44:26,720
He's back with this question.
:
00:44:27,070 --> 00:44:31,979
Uh, and he just wants to know,
how are you leveraging your crying
:
00:44:31,979 --> 00:44:34,710
baby in the background to increase
conversion rates on the phone?
:
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,540
So it's very, I'm like, this
could be the reason why you're
:
00:44:40,540 --> 00:44:42,440
converting and not everyone has this.
:
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:42,760
So.
:
00:44:43,335 --> 00:44:44,035
Please walk us through it.
:
00:44:44,935 --> 00:44:46,825
I mean, I work in an office.
:
00:44:46,895 --> 00:44:51,885
I'm not at home, but if I, if I was at
home and I had a crying baby, I definitely
:
00:44:51,885 --> 00:44:56,685
like, uh, I I'd say I'd ring someone up
and I'd say, I'll be honest with you.
:
00:44:57,054 --> 00:44:59,375
You can probably hear my baby
crying in the background.
:
00:44:59,434 --> 00:45:02,724
I'm not booked any meetings today, which
means I'm not going to hit commission,
:
00:45:02,724 --> 00:45:04,214
which means I can't buy him any more milk.
:
00:45:04,224 --> 00:45:06,635
I 30 seconds while I've got you?
:
00:45:06,645 --> 00:45:10,445
And if it's not relevant by the
end, we'll let the baby stuff.
:
00:45:10,555 --> 00:45:11,285
Is that fair?
:
00:45:11,285 --> 00:45:11,325
Okay.
:
00:45:12,245 --> 00:45:13,805
Let's see what kind of person they are.
:
00:45:17,155 --> 00:45:17,735
Well, there you go.
:
00:45:17,755 --> 00:45:18,145
There you go.
:
00:45:18,145 --> 00:45:21,095
Well, AKA Josh Braun,
maybe it's just screenshot.
:
00:45:21,095 --> 00:45:23,185
Hey, Josh Brown, you're
impersonated today.
:
00:45:23,915 --> 00:45:25,374
Are we going to get him up at one point?
:
00:45:25,405 --> 00:45:25,875
Willie?
:
00:45:27,704 --> 00:45:28,225
Yeah, we will.
:
00:45:28,225 --> 00:45:30,704
He's going to come and
cold call with us one day.
:
00:45:30,755 --> 00:45:31,415
He is.
:
00:45:31,424 --> 00:45:33,365
He is going to, he is going to come
cold with us a hundred percent.
:
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:34,490
That's happening.
:
00:45:35,010 --> 00:45:37,640
Um, we gotta get them involved.
:
00:45:38,340 --> 00:45:38,720
Okay.
:
00:45:38,730 --> 00:45:43,079
So we have a, all different
array of copper questions here.
:
00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:45,619
What actually, you know what, before
I get, find this next question,
:
00:45:45,630 --> 00:45:47,620
cause there actually is a good bit
and we're going to go through as
:
00:45:47,620 --> 00:45:54,309
much as we can, but Jack, like, when
did you feel, when was the moment?
:
00:45:54,350 --> 00:45:55,200
Cause I always ask people this.
:
00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:00,060
When was the moment that you were like,
I feel confident in making a cold call.
:
00:46:00,060 --> 00:46:00,280
Now,
:
00:46:02,410 --> 00:46:03,590
was it a certain call?
:
00:46:03,590 --> 00:46:04,670
Was it an intro?
:
00:46:04,670 --> 00:46:08,120
Was it when you handled an objection,
I'd even ask the audience to like,
:
00:46:08,130 --> 00:46:11,660
everyone has this moment where they
were like, I feel confident in this now.
:
00:46:12,050 --> 00:46:14,339
I'm not saying you're not afraid to make
the call, but you're just confident.
:
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:15,580
Like if I had to do it, I can do it.
:
00:46:17,249 --> 00:46:20,599
I, I feel like confidence is competence.
:
00:46:20,599 --> 00:46:21,064
Isn't it?
:
00:46:21,165 --> 00:46:24,775
So like, yeah, how much, how
much evidence do you have?
:
00:46:25,095 --> 00:46:28,145
So like when you, when you look back,
like, and it's a case of like, right,
:
00:46:28,175 --> 00:46:32,455
I've, I've got so much evidence
now that I've made cold calls to
:
00:46:32,465 --> 00:46:34,015
lots of different types of people.
:
00:46:34,274 --> 00:46:35,505
I booked meetings.
:
00:46:35,545 --> 00:46:37,135
I've had my fair share of rejection.
:
00:46:37,135 --> 00:46:38,005
I've got over it.
:
00:46:38,385 --> 00:46:39,325
X, Y, and Z.
:
00:46:39,345 --> 00:46:41,455
I've, I've, I've coined this phrase.
:
00:46:41,455 --> 00:46:42,835
I call it the evidence shelf.
:
00:46:43,175 --> 00:46:46,165
So behind me there's this
metaphorical evidence shelf and
:
00:46:46,235 --> 00:46:47,645
every time something good happens.
:
00:46:47,655 --> 00:46:50,034
So the first time we do
something like this and I, okay.
:
00:46:50,035 --> 00:46:53,635
Did a live with Morgan and people enjoyed
it and I didn't fluff up my words.
:
00:46:53,945 --> 00:46:55,095
I put it on the evidence shelf.
:
00:46:55,095 --> 00:46:59,235
So the next time I come to one of these
and my, my inner voice says, you're
:
00:46:59,235 --> 00:47:00,774
going to mess up, you're nervous.
:
00:47:00,775 --> 00:47:02,035
You're, you're going to screw it up.
:
00:47:02,055 --> 00:47:05,565
You're going to say some stupid jokes
that are going to get you canceled.
:
00:47:05,995 --> 00:47:07,064
I just look over my shoulder.
:
00:47:07,065 --> 00:47:08,425
I look at the evidence shelf and I go.
:
00:47:08,930 --> 00:47:10,050
I didn't do that last time.
:
00:47:10,050 --> 00:47:11,450
Well, why would I do that this time?
:
00:47:11,780 --> 00:47:13,570
And that's kind of my confidence driver.
:
00:47:13,750 --> 00:47:17,730
So it's like every small win you get,
are you breaking it down into chunks
:
00:47:17,730 --> 00:47:21,479
of evidence that you can put on your
shelf and say, right, going into it.
:
00:47:21,750 --> 00:47:24,299
If you know that you've booked meetings
in the past and you've had good
:
00:47:24,299 --> 00:47:28,930
conversations, like don't rely on feeling.
:
00:47:29,470 --> 00:47:34,100
If it's a case of, I feel motivated
today, I feel this today, it's weak,
:
00:47:34,110 --> 00:47:38,659
like it will never work, you need to
apply, rely on discipline and systems
:
00:47:38,669 --> 00:47:43,490
and processes, um, and that's the way,
so, was there a particular moment?
:
00:47:43,910 --> 00:47:49,690
Probably within the last couple of years,
but I think, like, it's just one of those,
:
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:51,545
like, Yeah, I've got enough evidence.
:
00:47:51,565 --> 00:47:51,885
Now.
:
00:47:51,925 --> 00:47:56,135
I feel like you can, you can like,
like then you put me in that situation.
:
00:47:56,425 --> 00:47:58,824
I wrote a load of notes,
like, and I'm like, right.
:
00:47:58,825 --> 00:47:59,155
Okay.
:
00:47:59,184 --> 00:48:00,305
I do this every single day.
:
00:48:00,305 --> 00:48:02,225
We build scripts for different clients.
:
00:48:02,554 --> 00:48:04,144
The first time I'd have to do that.
:
00:48:04,144 --> 00:48:09,634
I probably would be like, Oh, what's
a webinar management software now?
:
00:48:09,635 --> 00:48:11,485
It's like, well, yeah, you get into it.
:
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,430
Yeah, I love that answer.
:
00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:16,750
Hopefully that was helpful as well.
:
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:17,940
Evidence shelf.
:
00:48:17,970 --> 00:48:19,150
Everyone's loving that one.
:
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,010
Okay, let's go for And continue to up.
:
00:48:23,019 --> 00:48:24,030
But yeah, go ahead jack.
:
00:48:24,180 --> 00:48:24,600
What are you gonna say?
:
00:48:25,550 --> 00:48:26,390
Evidence shelf.
:
00:48:26,430 --> 00:48:27,470
Mine is massive.
:
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:28,440
What about the shelf?
:
00:48:33,650 --> 00:48:34,560
How do you handle?
:
00:48:34,570 --> 00:48:36,050
No, this actually is a good one here.
:
00:48:36,100 --> 00:48:37,130
How do you handle, okay.
:
00:48:37,210 --> 00:48:40,030
How do you handle resource objections?
:
00:48:40,090 --> 00:48:42,470
Uh, this is something that they
don't want to look at, but haven't
:
00:48:42,969 --> 00:48:49,530
gotten time to do so because other
projects are taking over for me.
:
00:48:49,540 --> 00:48:51,680
That's a, uh, you got a problem.
:
00:48:51,770 --> 00:48:52,430
Cool.
:
00:48:52,660 --> 00:48:54,030
There's a lack of motivation.
:
00:48:54,130 --> 00:48:54,750
So why?
:
00:48:55,005 --> 00:48:55,995
So what's the root cause?
:
00:48:56,005 --> 00:48:57,345
How long has that been a problem?
:
00:48:57,345 --> 00:48:58,855
How long have you been thinking about it?
:
00:48:58,865 --> 00:49:01,535
Nobody's had a toothache
for five years, have they?
:
00:49:02,055 --> 00:49:04,445
So it's like, you, you've
not got enough time.
:
00:49:05,315 --> 00:49:08,135
That, that, that's kind of,
for me, that's prior, like
:
00:49:08,555 --> 00:49:10,525
you, you find time in anything.
:
00:49:10,675 --> 00:49:13,745
Like, so if the motivation's
there, it's a big enough problem.
:
00:49:14,165 --> 00:49:17,165
For me, it says it's probably not
a big enough problem to go deeper.
:
00:49:17,595 --> 00:49:17,885
Okay.
:
00:49:17,885 --> 00:49:18,915
What's it impacted?
:
00:49:18,945 --> 00:49:20,625
What's the, what's the
knock on effect of that?
:
00:49:21,070 --> 00:49:22,100
Yeah, just find out.
:
00:49:22,110 --> 00:49:22,930
Just go deeper.
:
00:49:24,930 --> 00:49:25,350
Awesome.
:
00:49:26,180 --> 00:49:32,069
Well, as we wrap up here, y'all,
Jack, where can people find you?
:
00:49:33,689 --> 00:49:34,740
I'm in Manchester.
:
00:49:35,449 --> 00:49:39,590
I'm in the city center, but you meant you
meant on the worldwide web, didn't you?
:
00:49:40,090 --> 00:49:41,860
Um, We've got a podcast.
:
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,550
We've had, we've had some
brilliant guests on the podcast.
:
00:49:44,580 --> 00:49:48,660
We have had Chris Voss,
the King of Negotiation.
:
00:49:48,660 --> 00:49:50,709
We've had some brilliant salespeople.
:
00:49:51,090 --> 00:49:54,220
And I believe, I don't know when
it is, but I think you're coming
:
00:49:54,220 --> 00:49:55,399
on now, aren't you, Morgan?
:
00:49:55,559 --> 00:49:58,600
Yes, I'm, it's in the next, I don't
know exactly what it was, but it's in
:
00:49:58,600 --> 00:49:59,820
the next, in the next couple of weeks.
:
00:50:00,510 --> 00:50:00,870
Do it.
:
00:50:00,910 --> 00:50:04,240
Can we tell people about our awkward
interaction about getting you booked on?
:
00:50:05,900 --> 00:50:06,540
That was on me!
:
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:11,360
That was 100 percent my fault!
:
00:50:12,069 --> 00:50:14,760
I'm gonna, I'm gonna out you here.
:
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,019
That's fine.
:
00:50:17,049 --> 00:50:18,769
Are you coming on the podcast or what?
:
00:50:19,050 --> 00:50:19,840
I messaged him.
:
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,040
They went, when are
you going to invite me?
:
00:50:22,090 --> 00:50:24,340
And I just thought, scroll up.
:
00:50:25,950 --> 00:50:27,240
We'd had the conversation.
:
00:50:27,250 --> 00:50:28,280
Yeah, man, I'll come on.
:
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:29,280
Here's the link.
:
00:50:31,089 --> 00:50:32,819
I totally, I totally forgot.
:
00:50:32,830 --> 00:50:34,279
That was a hundred percent on me.
:
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,349
And I was like, dang, that's just,
well, yeah, guys, sometimes you got
:
00:50:37,349 --> 00:50:40,420
to stroll up y'all before you say
something, but play hard to get.
:
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,479
Um, but we'll have a class.
:
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:44,960
Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
:
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:45,980
We've got a podcast search.
:
00:50:45,980 --> 00:50:47,330
We have a meeting if you want that.
:
00:50:47,630 --> 00:50:49,940
Uh, I'm on LinkedIn, Jack Friston.
:
00:50:50,180 --> 00:50:53,420
Uh, we've got a, a sales
community of people that come
:
00:50:53,420 --> 00:50:55,010
to q and a sessions like this.
:
00:50:55,010 --> 00:50:55,700
It is paid.
:
00:50:55,700 --> 00:50:58,070
Sorry, I'm asking for
your hard earned money.
:
00:50:58,430 --> 00:51:01,160
Um, if, if you don't wanna
invest money, that's fine.
:
00:51:01,710 --> 00:51:03,150
I'll also be your clown for free.
:
00:51:03,510 --> 00:51:07,110
Um, but yeah, check us out if you,
if you are a business that wants
:
00:51:07,110 --> 00:51:08,220
to get in front of new people.
:
00:51:08,220 --> 00:51:10,020
We're working with a lot of
American companies as well.
:
00:51:10,020 --> 00:51:10,500
At the moment.
:
00:51:10,740 --> 00:51:11,760
We have a meeting.
:
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,570
I do loads of stuff.
:
00:51:14,285 --> 00:51:17,155
I'm like that schmuck that will turn
up to the opening of an envelope.
:
00:51:18,715 --> 00:51:19,285
Well, there you go.
:
00:51:19,675 --> 00:51:20,355
Jack's great.
:
00:51:20,405 --> 00:51:21,615
Uh, definitely go find him.
:
00:51:21,625 --> 00:51:22,915
Hopefully you'll enjoy this.
:
00:51:22,935 --> 00:51:25,775
Uh, if you found it helpful, let us
know in the chat and email the team.
:
00:51:26,045 --> 00:51:29,084
Um, but as always, if you've been here
before, uh, we're just here to provide
:
00:51:29,084 --> 00:51:30,524
value and give you those insights.

day and we'll talk to you all soon.
:
00:51:34,514 --> 00:51:34,985
Cheers everybody.
