For you and your Team 
12 Week Sales Plan to GET TO YES FASTER®
Week Three focus on MOTION with your Clients.
 
YESCALATE® Tip # 17
YESCALATE® Tip # 17 “A Thing in Motion…?”
We know from science that:
A thing in motion tends to stay in motion.
This holds true with decision-making:
A decision made is likely to be continued.
Because people feel pressure to be
consistent with decisions they make.
Small decisions feel safer than big decisions.
And breaking the commitment into
a series of smaller commitments
is a best practice.
This has been referred to as
creating a YES momentum.
What series of commitments can
you structure for clients?
How small can they start to get moving?

DEAN: 

“Joey, THAT’S the title of your book.”

 

Yesterday, my mentor Joe and I were on the phone
sharing our learning’s from the past week
and Joe said the most amazing thing:
“Clarity comes from Curiosity.”

Whoooaaaaa… 
That moment when you hear Truth.

As Joe and I talked more we realized that 

every top salesperson we know 
every wildly successful entrepreneur we know
have one thing in common–
they are incredibly Curious.

They are driven to seek the answers 
to an unending series of 
“Why…?” and “How…?”  and “What if…” questions.

 
Here are 4 Best Practices you can use 
to apply curiosity to generate higher sales volumes 
and make more of a difference for your customers:

That’s the best part about having
Vistage Speakers, Members and Chairs 
as friends …
We can respectfully disagree…
… and both learn from the dialogue.
