Top 10 Business Secrets from the Roman Empire

1.     Determine the most powerful benefit or advantage you can offer – your unique benefit so that it is irrational for them not to choose you.

2.     Don’t have to change your product – position it as having a unique benefit and communicate this to them that you are now offering this unique advantage.

3.     Eliminate the risk for the client; offer a risk-free opportunity.

4.     Add-on and cross-selling – you have an obligation to demonstrate to them the differences in performance and outcome they can expect to receive and to make them an offer that gives them an incentive for trading up.

5.     Clients stop buying for 3 reasons: out of sight, out of mind, dissatisfied and client’s situation has changed (but still can give you referrals).

6.     Send a sales letter ahead of a phone call can increase the effectiveness of a call by 1,000%. – you are not calling cold, you are calling warm.

7.     Achieve breakthroughs – make twice or 3 times results from the same effort or less.

8.     How to have a soul in your business:

·       Give more value than you take;
·       Become an agent of change;
·       Get involve in the client’s dreams, needs, hopes, complexities, families etc;
·       Be a trusted friend – identify what your client really needs;

9.     Host beneficiary is the most powerful business generator with the least cost.

10. Re-activate old clients and leads – leave your pride at home.  Start with the most recent in-actives.

"Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
