"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Communicating properly and clearly is essential to being a good salesman. That being said I don't have any clue what you are asking.

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

As far as the "feeling against being sold" everyone has that. That's why a good salesman doesn't make you feel like he's selling you something as much as he is showing you something you like and providing it for you.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

here is how you don't sell lol.

you know it's that time of the year where the police officers around the country start calling random motherfvckers for donations. I am a big hearted guy and I don't have a problem with this and usually do donate. anyway this guy calls me and i already know the deal, but i let him run through his sales pitch. he asks me what donation level i want to give and i ask what are my options. he tells me the three "VIP" packages are gold , 300, silver 200 and bronze 100. 300 bucks is not a lot i can swing that pretty easily, plus it's a tax write off lol. tell him yeah just sendf out whatever the hell you have to send out i will have my wife cut a check no problem. the dude is like "so just to confirm you want to do the gold package". i'm like yeah that's cool. he's like, are you sure... i'm like dude, yeah. send it out. so he goes on again and then like 20 seconds later he's like now are you SURE i'm like dude what you are trying to say lol, do you not want the fvcking money or what. if i did not want to send you anything i would have hung up on you lol. **** dude come on i'm dying over here i got **** to do.

don';t ever give your client a chance to back track/go back. even though i was not, if i was hesitate at all that gave me an out. you don't want to give clients outs. that's like going to buy a car and the car salesman asking "now are you sure you want to buy this car today".

i don't deal directly in sales, i'm an account manager and i work with growing the existing accounts my firm has given to me as well as maintain good relationships with them.

We have to cold call people or get meetings through my existing network at the firm and rule number 1 is, never give them a reason to cancel your meeting. Once i get them to agree to a call, in person meeting at their office, or etc. that's the end of it. I tell them i speak/see them then and never follow-up. A follow-up gives them a chance to cancel.

Sales is a little bit different as you do need to follow-up so its important to build a relationship. you rarely have anyone buy your product without trialing/trying it out. When i won the last firm competition for getting the most trials, i never once mentioned to them anything about price/selling them. I just told them what the product did, how it would benefit them, and if they have a few minutes, i'd be glad to get them setup.

Keep it really short and to the point. Most people are busy and generally don't read past a few lines in an email.
