QUOTE:  "The biggest rookie mistake in sales is working hard to finally get to a point where you can ask for the sale...only to blow it with a one-dimensional pitch!" - Scott Cooksey

SUMMARY:

When the pressure to create income is high, it is easy to let emotion take over...only to sabotage your success with a one-dimensional pitch.  In this episode, Host Scott Cooksey shares techniques you can apply immediately to shift the conversation with prospects and clients from "Do you want to buy this product/service from me today?" to "Here are some options for how we could best work together as we move forward."

In 2001, Darren LaCroix outlasted over 20,000 competitors from around the globe to become the World Champion of Public Speaking. In Toastmasters circles, Darren's story is quite well known.  In this interview, however, Scott Cooksey asks Darren, one of his earliest mentors in the business of speaking to pull back the curtains not on how he achieved his climb to the top, but the grit it takes to stay there.  Add in just a dash of what YOU can do to become your own champion of fulfilling success on your terms (Hint: It involves finding a mentor)..because the road to authenticity is not an easy one to navigate alone.

 

QUOTE:  "A little bit of effort in the right direction will outperform a lot of effort in the wrong direction." - Darren LaCroix

TAKE AWAYS:

  • Darren's Math to Mastery Equation states "Effort X Direction = Mastery"
  • There are two kinds of feedback,
    • Anyone can share how a story or action made them think or feel,but
    • Not everyone is qualified to provide coaching to improve.
  • Why there is no substitute for "stage time" in your chosen pursuit
  • Worse than taking no advice, is taking advice from people who are only 1/2 step ahead of you.
