How To Grow And Sustain Your Business?

Sales is a crucial element for any business to grow and sustain in the long run. Every business owner needs to have the right strategy for sales in their mind. Alex Schlinsky from Prospecting on Demand shares how he coaches people to be confident when it comes to selling their goods and services.

His tips helped many people improve their sales skills and enjoyed rapid growth in a short period of time. Find out more about what Alex has to say about sales in the video below.

Video Script:

Hello. We’re at the DMC Partner Training in Austin and I’ve got Alex with me. He just had a great day, a full day of training. So I’m just going to have a quick few words with Alex. He presented how to do sales, especially objection handling. So Alex introduced to everybody who you are, and what you do. First of all, sure, absolutely. My name is Alex Schlinsky. I run and operate Prospecting On Demand membership and marketing community for agency owners, coaches, and consultants. And mostly what I coach myself on is business development and scaling and of course, sales. So how did you find this day? First of all, great day. It was a lot of fun. I really wanted to come out and speak at a DigitalMarketer event. It was one of my goals. Got the opportunity to speak at Mark’s podcast and then he asked me to come out.

So it’s a lot of fun. Had a great time. I totally enjoyed your presentation. And we just like to go through a couple of tips for our viewers and audience. Absolutely. What’s the most asked question you get when people are trying to sell or can’t sell your services or products? I think the most common question that we get in selling services or products is simply how to get people to be confident to pay you. A lot of people get ghosted on sales calls, so they’ll get like, maybe let me talk to my partner about it. And the biggest thing that I try to tell anyone that I work with is just simply telling people to make the decision, not asking. A lot of people end sales calls with the idea like, what do you think? Do you want this? Do you think we should work together? How are you feeling? Do you want to work together? What’s the next step? Instead of, you needing this, this is right for you. It’s exactly why you got on this call.

It’s exactly why you’re here today so I can achieve this result for you and overcome this obstacle. We should do this. People are afraid to kind of step overboard and become too aggressive. But what I found is when you’re worried about whether am I coming off as confident or am I coming off arrogant? Really what you’re doing are two things. One, you’re seeding doubt for yourself because you’re unsure. So your tonality will iterate basically like, is he confident? Is he arrogant? What’s going on? Is he doubtful? And any doubt that you have is like poison to a prospect. They could smell like blood in the water for a shark and they will not work with you. And then the second element is forgetting what perception, really we have. We don’t control someone else’s perception. It’s why politics are so, like, huge and people have such different opinions of the same speech. Right? You have one person say a speech and there’s an entire group of people that are like, that’s incredible, amazing.

And then there’s an entire group of people that are like, that person is the worst ever. How could you listen to them? The speech was no different. It was the exact same person, the same speech, everything was exactly the same. But the perception is different for each person. So when you think you control perception, you lose sight of what you’re really capable of. So my biggest recommendation for everyone that I work with, any tip on sales is confident and authentic with conviction. Telling people to make the investment, not asking them, it’s really important. And also, I’m not sure that you get the same thing, but what I also find is a lot of people are too scared and shy to ask for the sale. 100%. If you’re shy in sales, you’re in the wrong business. What else is there to say? I mean, if you’re worried about getting to the point of sale and asking for a sale and thinking that a prospect is going to buy from you, you’re misunderstanding how sales are.

Sales as a service where they have a problem, you have a solution, and there’s a gap between their problem and solution. You’re the one that’s bridging that gap. If you do not feel confident telling someone that I can bridge the gap for you, you can’t sell. And here’s the thing that’s really important. If you find yourself watching this video and you think, Oh, that’s definitely me, there are two things you have to come to a realization on. One, do you need to hire a salesperson yesterday? Or two, are you willing to simply step up, recognize your greatness, understand the value that your offer brings, and start telling people to do it rather than being scared? I said something in the speech here, but sales happen in the uncomfortable. If you are uncomfortable asking, then you should step into that. The more uncomfortable you are, the more comfortable you become. So lastly, what would be your top or your best tip for somebody who wants to increase sales or conversion rates? Sure. So outside of the telling tip, that’s definitely number one. I always say in my speech, that the framework of the second thing you say on your calls, is understanding how time is the most valuable asset we have. Anyone watching this video will agree that time is the only non-renewable resource that we can’t buy.

Everyone wants more time. Everyone. Now, people buy time through products that save them time. But more important is understanding your prospecting calls and your sales conversations. The time that your prospect is giving you for $0 is actually more valuable than their credit card, and you have to convince them that way, because a lot of people get on calls, especially a prospect, and they’re thinking, my credit card is the most valuable asset that Uzair wants, that Alex wants. It’s not the case. It’s not. It’s the time that you’re already giving them. So when you frame the call by asking, why are you on this call? But with the appropriate frame, something like this, like, Hey, Farzana, I appreciate you jumping on this call with me. I really want to utilize this time appropriately. The time you’re spending with me is the time you’re not spending with your clients or your friends or your family or catching up on Game of Thrones.

You’re here with me today. I want to make sure I deliver for you. Why are you on this call? So I can deliver for the time that you’re giving me. Now, in their mind, they’re thinking, oh, wow. I was kind of willy-nilly with my time, which most people are. That’s how human beings are now. They have to consider, well, because I’m here because I have this problem, and I want you to solve it. If you can do that, well, those are really solid tips. Brilliant. Thank you so much for your tips and types. And last one, where can anyone find you? Yeah. ProspectingOnDemand.com. Probably. Be the easiest place to find me. That’s my website. Or find me on Facebook.com/schlinsky got the little blue check, mark. I’m special. Thanks, Alex.

Google Ads Hacks: What The Pros Don’t Want You To Know

Ever felt like Google Ads is a hack club with a bouncer named “Algorithm” and you’re stuck outside, peering through the velvet rope? You’re not alone. Many businesses, big and small, grapple with the complexities of Google Ads, often feeling like they’re pouring money into a black hole. The “pros” – those agencies and consultants who manage huge budgets – often talk a good game, but some of their “hacks” aren’t hacks at all, just common-sense practices they’ve refined. But what if I told you there are some things the pros might not explicitly tell you, not because they’re malicious, but because it challenges the mystique they’ve built around their expertise?
