WEBVTT

00:00:02.205 --> 00:00:06.213
Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to another episode.

00:00:06.213 --> 00:00:08.667
It's Friday, fantastic Friday.

00:00:08.667 --> 00:00:25.332
Another episode of Electricpreneurs Secrets, the Electricians podcast, where we go live five days a week to help electricians everywhere, master sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium level electric, electric or electrical service.

00:00:25.332 --> 00:00:31.429
As you know, we got rid of the fancy shit, so if this is your first time, don't mind me making a little mess up there in the intro.

00:00:31.429 --> 00:00:32.843
We say it every time.

00:00:32.843 --> 00:00:35.981
Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you make a mistake, but I tell you what.

00:00:35.981 --> 00:00:38.509
Either way, it is Friday, it is my day.

00:00:38.509 --> 00:00:41.426
My partner, joseph, the sales bot, luke, can.

00:00:41.426 --> 00:00:42.750
He is still on holidays.

00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:49.103
He'll be back with us Monday, but for today I've got some special things to go through with you guys.

00:00:49.103 --> 00:00:51.627
Just us up, close and intimate.

00:00:51.627 --> 00:00:52.088
Here we go.

00:00:52.088 --> 00:00:55.529
What better way than this to finish the week?

00:00:55.529 --> 00:01:04.694
Guys, if you're with us, live in the Facebook group, then I want to thank you for joining us.

00:01:04.694 --> 00:01:10.951
It's really special to see you guys every single day of the week here with us, engage with us.

00:01:10.951 --> 00:01:12.784
Let us know how has your week been going.

00:01:12.784 --> 00:01:14.840
Let us know your wins, your challenges.

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.248
I would love to talk through some of that with you and let us know this one.

00:01:18.248 --> 00:01:30.689
If you got our value piece this week the niches get riches value piece, with little emoji version, mr T on it Throw your hand up in the chat and let me know if you got some value from that.

00:01:30.689 --> 00:01:33.986
We're actually going to go through a piece of that today.

00:01:33.986 --> 00:01:46.569
The piece is really really refined and important and built around this title today, which is getting a greater response from quality questions.

00:01:46.569 --> 00:02:01.831
You may have heard this from some of the gurus out there, like Tony Robbins himself, which is someone I've followed and said an impact in my life the quality of life is directly proportionate to the quality of questions we ask.

00:02:01.831 --> 00:02:11.046
The quality of our understanding is directly proportionate to the quality of the questions that we ask to understand.

00:02:11.046 --> 00:02:26.028
A piece of this niche marketing, a piece of this value piece, the two-step piece that we gave away at niches get riches was a whole checklist of questions that we should be asking when it comes down to niching in any topic.

00:02:26.028 --> 00:02:29.847
In fact, full transparency, guys.

00:02:29.847 --> 00:02:36.868
We use this same exercise to get the most out of every topic that we focus on all week.

00:02:37.722 --> 00:02:41.544
Would it be wrong of me to want to share that with you, guys?

00:02:41.544 --> 00:02:43.569
If you're with me, I'm looking for a laugh here.

00:02:43.569 --> 00:02:47.270
If you're with me, please let me know what's the funniest thing that happened to you this week.

00:02:47.270 --> 00:02:50.162
Let's do a funny Friday, I know for me.

00:02:50.162 --> 00:02:53.028
I spent a couple of moments out there this week.

00:02:53.028 --> 00:02:57.629
I take a breath, I go out and I water the garden during the day to keep my sanity sometimes.

00:02:57.629 --> 00:03:08.111
Just got to get out of the office, I stumbled across a book that one of my daughters brought home, which is jokes for six-year-olds.

00:03:08.111 --> 00:03:13.870
There's some bad jokes in there, but let's see if I could share one with you.

00:03:13.870 --> 00:03:16.581
Let's see if this gets a rise for you.

00:03:16.581 --> 00:03:20.246
Why did the banana go to the doctor?

00:03:20.246 --> 00:03:23.860
This is not a comedy show, guys.

00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:24.783
I'm going to do my best here.

00:03:24.783 --> 00:03:26.389
Why did the banana go to the doctor?

00:03:26.389 --> 00:03:28.274
He wasn't peeling.

00:03:28.274 --> 00:03:31.280
Well, that's bad.

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.205
That's bad, but feel free to give me a little laugh.

00:03:34.205 --> 00:03:37.693
If you got any amount of chuckle out of that, all right.

00:03:37.693 --> 00:03:39.397
So back to these questions, guys.

00:03:39.397 --> 00:03:41.743
Fantastic Friday questions.

00:03:42.786 --> 00:03:48.841
When it comes to picking a niche, when it comes to even niche marketing, I want to help with this understanding.

00:03:48.841 --> 00:03:51.627
This can develop over time.

00:03:51.627 --> 00:03:54.112
I think we may have talked about this earlier in the week already.

00:03:54.112 --> 00:03:57.019
You don't have to just dive in.

00:03:57.019 --> 00:03:59.843
This doesn't have to be the head first.

00:03:59.843 --> 00:04:06.080
Okay, I'm going all in on generators right now, just because I decided arbitrarily.

00:04:07.322 --> 00:04:08.963
A niche is something that grows.

00:04:08.963 --> 00:04:12.414
A niche is something that we get momentum on and develop.

00:04:12.414 --> 00:04:20.555
The nice thing about what we shared in this value piece this week is that it helps you develop through niche marketing.

00:04:20.555 --> 00:04:23.720
It helps us develop through niche messaging.

00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:38.879
It helps us take what we already know about our business, that are well-rounded business, and focus on some of the points we may not have spent adequate time really thinking through before, like those early questions in the value piece about.

00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:45.134
You know what do we do most, what do we enjoy doing most and what's most profitable for us.

00:04:45.134 --> 00:04:55.439
By looking at those elements, all of a sudden, we're outside of just like the plain revenue per week or the plain revenue goals per month or the revenue year.

00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.225
To date, that tends to be what we focus on right.

00:04:58.225 --> 00:05:01.293
What about driving that revenue?

00:05:01.293 --> 00:05:08.451
What about this focus of getting that niche messaging right and creating more opportunities, creating longer relationships?

00:05:08.451 --> 00:05:10.574
That's what this week's been about.

00:05:10.714 --> 00:05:18.074
So I really, really want to invite you to take that opportunity to grab this value piece If you haven't got it yet.

00:05:18.074 --> 00:05:19.418
It's as simple as this.

00:05:19.418 --> 00:05:28.661
Just type niche is get riches anywhere in this group, and we're going to know what you're after and we're going to send that over to you, this specialist checklist, okay, to help you with that.

00:05:28.661 --> 00:05:39.110
So as we get deeper and back to my circling, back to the point here is we can just focus on the messaging to make sure that this is a fit for us.

00:05:39.110 --> 00:05:52.778
If we have answered those first three questions about what we like doing, what's most profitable, what's in demand, right, you might find that 30% of your revenue is based off LED retrofits.

00:05:52.778 --> 00:05:54.860
You might find that it is already generators.

00:05:54.860 --> 00:06:09.014
You might find that it is older character homes, and you've become a bit of a specialist in the eyes of your market for revitalizing those homes and restoring them back to their character condition.

00:06:09.014 --> 00:06:17.812
There's so many ways to cut this up and dice it and speak to a specific need, guys, and that's what these questions are about.

00:06:17.831 --> 00:06:21.759
So now, with that in mind, with that context, let's go through these questions.

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:28.357
So, right from this value piece that we gave away, I'm going to answer this question right off the bat.

00:06:28.357 --> 00:06:39.036
When thinking of this specific pain point, need, desire or a problem for your target clients, why is this so important?

00:06:39.036 --> 00:06:42.120
Why?

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.762
Why do they want this thing?

00:06:44.762 --> 00:06:55.952
The obvious one for a generator would be well, if there's blackouts happening, if the utilities not very dependable, there's storms in the area, they don't want to be reliant on that.

00:06:55.952 --> 00:07:00.161
Maybe there's medical equipment involved, maybe it's electric vehicles.

00:07:00.161 --> 00:07:06.557
Now we need backup power to make sure we're charged so in the event of utility dropout, we're going to be able to travel still.

00:07:06.557 --> 00:07:09.723
So why is this important?

00:07:11.269 --> 00:07:18.821
Question number two what's the new opportunity for them here With your niche service?

00:07:18.821 --> 00:07:20.423
What's their new opportunity?

00:07:20.423 --> 00:07:22.992
What do they gain from this?

00:07:22.992 --> 00:07:26.903
What's that quality of life improvement that they could be experiencing?

00:07:26.903 --> 00:07:31.579
What is their desire?

00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:34.533
Next question what is their desire?

00:07:35.970 --> 00:07:40.141
And just as a pre-frame guys, these are intended to have some repeats and overlap.

00:07:40.141 --> 00:07:50.331
These are powerful questions to dig deep and really look for the overlapping areas, just like with those earlier few questions about what we should niche in, what makes sense for us.

00:07:50.331 --> 00:07:52.117
We're looking for the overlap.

00:07:52.117 --> 00:08:17.598
So it's good to have overlap, it's good to be repetitive and it's good to use their language to answer these questions as much as possible and to come up with new words and new context, new perspectives on it, because what we do with this niche messaging after all these questions are answered is we're going to craft several messages, several ads, if you would, and I'll go through how to make that powerful for you guys.

00:08:19.009 --> 00:08:26.516
What are the new mechanisms with this solution, with this service that you could provide, this installation that you could do?

00:08:26.516 --> 00:08:28.134
What are the new mechanisms?

00:08:28.134 --> 00:08:33.038
How is it different than anything else?

00:08:33.038 --> 00:08:34.937
How is it different than what they had?

00:08:34.937 --> 00:08:40.041
How is it different than what they will or could have from other solutions in the market?

00:08:40.041 --> 00:08:42.354
What's in it for them?

00:08:42.354 --> 00:08:46.557
You might start to see some overlap now in the new opportunities.

00:08:46.557 --> 00:08:49.196
Why it's important, but what's really in it for them?

00:08:50.730 --> 00:09:00.333
Keep in mind, there's some big motivators for people, but they usually come down to health love and social Health love and social right.

00:09:00.333 --> 00:09:03.693
How do they know this is real?

00:09:03.693 --> 00:09:08.479
Now that comes back to that trust list we talked about yesterday.

00:09:08.479 --> 00:09:09.975
How do they know this is real?

00:09:09.975 --> 00:09:12.914
Are they able to trust you?

00:09:12.914 --> 00:09:13.736
Are you an authority?

00:09:13.736 --> 00:09:14.820
Are there facts to see?

00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:15.682
Are there reviews?

00:09:15.682 --> 00:09:21.221
Is there other places they get to see that this is real, reputable business?

00:09:21.221 --> 00:09:22.754
What's holding them back?

00:09:22.754 --> 00:09:24.732
This is the good stuff, guys.

00:09:24.732 --> 00:09:26.379
You do not want to overlook this one.

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:29.216
What's holding them back from making this decision?

00:09:29.216 --> 00:09:35.794
Identifying the things that are in the way will not only help you with the offer, but also help you with the objections.

00:09:37.990 --> 00:09:40.177
Sometimes what's necessary is to cause a belief shift.

00:09:40.177 --> 00:09:42.494
Here's a fine example.

00:09:42.494 --> 00:09:53.260
We know that what we do full time, our responsibility as a training and coaching for electricians provider, is not actually to grow a business for you.

00:09:53.260 --> 00:09:58.957
It's to help you grow so that your business reflects that and grows with you.

00:09:58.957 --> 00:10:02.157
Ah, a little mind tweak there, right?

00:10:02.157 --> 00:10:05.355
Who and what is to blame?

00:10:05.355 --> 00:10:17.001
If you answered this question, you'd be well on your way to helping these people, because there could be that belief shift required sometimes to get on the same team as someone.

00:10:17.001 --> 00:10:18.812
We've addressed this before.

00:10:18.852 --> 00:10:23.052
When you first arrive in a relationship, it's like the problem is in the middle.

00:10:23.052 --> 00:10:30.551
You're on one side, your client or prospects on the other, and they're thinking please don't sell me shit, please don't sell me shit, please don't sell me shit.

00:10:30.551 --> 00:10:32.738
And you're thinking please don't see me as a salesperson.

00:10:32.738 --> 00:10:33.821
I'm more than a salesperson.

00:10:33.821 --> 00:10:34.793
I really want to help you.

00:10:34.793 --> 00:11:00.322
By knowing who and what is to blame, we can help transition to the other side of the line and get shoulder to shoulder, looking at the sunset together, looking together in unison, working towards a common goal, as Russell Brunson said, click funnels, even throwing rocks at your enemies who and what is to blame and getting there with them and actually condemning what is in the way.

00:11:01.870 --> 00:11:02.674
Here's a good one.

00:11:02.674 --> 00:11:03.457
Why now?

00:11:03.457 --> 00:11:05.475
Why do they need this?

00:11:05.475 --> 00:11:11.341
Now, guys, they want help, need desire problem.

00:11:11.341 --> 00:11:14.273
Why now, though?

00:11:14.273 --> 00:11:16.217
How does this improve their life?

00:11:16.217 --> 00:11:18.482
Why should they not wait any longer?

00:11:18.482 --> 00:11:32.682
Why trust you back to another, trust one, building up on why it's valuable from you, why there's less risk if you do it, why the probability of success is higher if you do this.

00:11:32.682 --> 00:11:33.423
Take care of this.

00:11:33.423 --> 00:11:34.163
Need solution.

00:11:34.163 --> 00:11:36.376
Need desire problem for them.

00:11:36.376 --> 00:11:38.355
How does it work?

00:11:38.355 --> 00:11:40.659
There's an education component here.

00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:55.524
If we can be simple and Succinct and explaining and showing people simple frameworks for how things work, how it helps them To simplify, that will help them in this transition from a prospect to a buyer.

00:11:57.052 --> 00:11:58.196
How can they get started?

00:11:58.196 --> 00:12:10.546
You know so many of us actually struggle from really just not being well articulated in even what we do specifically or how to get started with us specifically.

00:12:10.546 --> 00:12:15.017
What do they have to lose?

00:12:15.017 --> 00:12:15.991
Now?

00:12:15.991 --> 00:12:17.034
They're good focus area.

00:12:17.034 --> 00:12:18.177
That's a great question.

00:12:18.177 --> 00:12:19.601
What do they have to lose?

00:12:19.601 --> 00:12:25.994
If you're focusing here, then you're really thinking through them With empathy.

00:12:25.994 --> 00:12:30.188
You're really addressing their needs, concerns and their risk.

00:12:30.188 --> 00:12:42.549
And Any offer addressed without risk management is probably a waste of time, because risk is a huge piece, right, that probability of success or risk reversal, as it were.

00:12:42.549 --> 00:12:47.950
And lastly, here's a great one what happens if they don't?

00:12:50.196 --> 00:12:58.201
Many of you have received our demand call process, demand call Lotto or our Sales sanity value pieces now, and we've been putting out some fire.

00:12:58.201 --> 00:13:00.736
We're getting tons of positive feedback, guys.

00:13:00.736 --> 00:13:10.669
We'd love to help, we'd love to see you use our strategies and go out and get wins, just like Matthew reported yesterday, a $6,000 platinum sale couldn't have done it without us.

00:13:10.669 --> 00:13:14.438
I love that to hear that, guys.

00:13:14.438 --> 00:13:15.501
I love that feedback.

00:13:15.501 --> 00:13:17.125
I'm so proud of you, matthew, for that one.

00:13:17.125 --> 00:13:21.827
What we haven't given away is our opportunity call process.

00:13:21.827 --> 00:13:33.649
Not at this point, right, you guys have the framework for the demand call, but in our opportunity call, where we're maybe up against other estimates, we actually ask this question in the process what happens if you don't?

00:13:33.649 --> 00:13:35.669
What happens if they don't?

00:13:35.669 --> 00:13:44.388
And we allow them to actually answer that question because it's very powerful to look at the other perspective what if we don't do this?

00:13:44.388 --> 00:13:46.181
Where does that leave us?

00:13:46.181 --> 00:13:56.629
So, guys, there's about 20 questions from our own niches, get riches, that specialist checklist to help you dig deeper with this niche market messaging.

00:13:57.773 --> 00:13:58.642
Now here's how you use this.

00:13:58.642 --> 00:14:05.350
One of the beautiful things when you begin this journey is you can do it just like us, which I mean organically.

00:14:05.350 --> 00:14:07.916
You can use this organically.

00:14:07.916 --> 00:14:15.759
Take all these answers that you've just come up with and this is when your action items by the way, action item is to answer the question.

00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:20.620
All star action is going to be to actually build some messaging and test it organically, just to get that out of the way, guys.

00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:50.298
So by taking these answers and looking for the overlap and building combinations, building combinations of these answers, we can actually build out little organic drips, little organic messages, little organic ads, if you would, little organic offers, like the second bucket of NDP that we talked about this week, and you'll get people to volunteer to receive more information.

00:14:50.298 --> 00:14:52.951
You'll get people's hands up Now.

00:14:52.991 --> 00:15:00.129
I will add that call us now is one of the biggest calls to action that anyone can use these days, and that's why we don't use it.

00:15:00.129 --> 00:15:06.659
You will not see in any of our advertising, any of our organic marketing that we do, guys.

00:15:06.659 --> 00:15:13.129
You will never see us say call now or book a call now, because it's a huge step.

00:15:13.129 --> 00:15:17.090
People don't want to just book a call now.

00:15:17.090 --> 00:15:27.129
They want a chunk of value to ensure the things you're saying are real, to ensure they can trust you, to ensure your authority, to ensure those facts, to ensure that trust.

00:15:27.129 --> 00:15:35.922
And so, at the bare minimum, people just want to touch, they just want to feel the value and then be engaged in conversation.

00:15:35.922 --> 00:15:39.129
The call now is a massive, massive call to action.

00:15:39.951 --> 00:15:45.964
So I urge you to follow a similar strategy that we use and just survey interest.

00:15:45.964 --> 00:15:57.110
See, by taking a combination of those answers and putting a post out that interrupts, engages with them, educates them a bit and makes an offer to help them out.

00:15:57.110 --> 00:16:11.885
If they just reach out for more information, if they just reach out to grab this value piece, like we do, like we offer with this specialist checklist, then you'll know you've hit home with a lead because they could not resist saying something.

00:16:11.885 --> 00:16:14.754
So you'll know what their problem is and what that means is.

00:16:14.754 --> 00:16:22.065
You can continually to talk about it, continue to approach them, continue to discuss it with them when they make a buying decision.

00:16:22.065 --> 00:16:25.740
You'll be the only person they trust with that decision.

00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:28.129
Hey, but don't listen to what we say.

00:16:28.129 --> 00:16:30.572
Just watch what we do, right?

00:16:32.289 --> 00:16:42.129
The nice thing about using this stuff organically, guys, to finish this off for the week is that you get to see the proof of what works first, and that's everything that we do.

00:16:42.129 --> 00:17:02.506
We invest time in our messaging and making sure that it connects with people so that when we're ready to spend money, to put a coin in this machine, I know for a fact what produces a result in the minds of the buyer that I'm targeting with the problem need or desire that we're targeting.

00:17:02.506 --> 00:17:12.284
Once you have those proven results, then you get to go deeper with this niche, like we said, then it goes from just a niche message to a niche investment.

00:17:12.284 --> 00:17:22.605
Then you can go to add signage, vanrabs every door, direct mailers, networking, networking and speaking, invest in it on your website and your Google my Business profile.

00:17:22.605 --> 00:17:37.405
Now you know you've got a proven niche that you can speak to, that you continually collect words using our post call facts, collecting the language that they use about a problem, so you can continue to talk to other people that are having the same problem.

00:17:37.405 --> 00:17:44.073
Oh, my goodness, guys, I hope you saw incredible value this week.

00:17:44.073 --> 00:17:55.746
In fact I know you did, and if you took action this week, then you are many steps closer, many steps closer to speaking to the real needs, desires and problems in your target market.

00:17:56.190 --> 00:17:58.478
Guys, I'm wishing you the absolute best weekend.
