WEBVTT

00:00:02.383 --> 00:00:04.548
Hello, hello, hello, welcome back.

00:00:04.548 --> 00:00:07.432
It's another fantastic Friday, joe.

00:00:07.432 --> 00:00:08.675
I am pumped to be here.

00:00:08.675 --> 00:00:22.269
Just a couple of master electricians with business addictions coming here to help you Five days a week, master your sales, simplify your pricing and deliver premium-level electrical service on the Electricpreneur Secrets podcast.

00:00:22.269 --> 00:00:26.804
I am so pumped and there's something that keeps happening, joe, I need to share with you.

00:00:26.804 --> 00:00:28.583
Just quick, bile me, go ahead.

00:00:28.583 --> 00:00:32.218
You know how sometimes we say there's going to be a test.

00:00:32.218 --> 00:00:34.506
We're going to ask you what I say on every episode.

00:00:34.506 --> 00:00:42.128
Sometimes it feels like I'm failing that test, but recently there's been an answer on that test that makes me laugh every time.

00:00:42.890 --> 00:00:43.792
Oh, please tell me, what is it.

00:00:44.261 --> 00:00:45.728
I ask them you know what I say?

00:00:45.728 --> 00:00:48.159
Do you remember what I say at the beginning of every episode?

00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.024
And they go hello, hello, hello.

00:00:53.048 --> 00:00:55.334
Oh my God, You're kidding me, that's the thing that sticks.

00:00:55.334 --> 00:00:57.569
That's what sticks?

00:00:57.569 --> 00:00:58.713
I guess that's the thing.

00:00:58.732 --> 00:01:01.826
That's the first thing you hear when you listen, and so it's really echoing.

00:01:01.826 --> 00:01:07.310
I'm hoping people aren't hearing that when they wake up first thing in the morning, but hey, I can't control that.

00:01:07.671 --> 00:01:09.359
Wakey, wakey Eggs and bakey Got no problem.

00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:10.281
Let's rock and roll.

00:01:11.004 --> 00:01:16.587
Oh, man, and as the weekend's coming up, I mean we've kind of covered this TGIF problem before.

00:01:16.587 --> 00:01:23.225
I try to appreciate every day, but we were just talking about some stuff behind the scenes that I felt warranted being talked about.

00:01:23.225 --> 00:01:30.647
Live as well, and that's your pure enjoyment of the back country, right?

00:01:31.129 --> 00:01:34.483
Yeah, I was going to say surprising that some people, you know, didn't know that about me.

00:01:34.483 --> 00:01:46.525
But I really really really like just being dropped off in the woods, like it's a weird thing, but like I grew up in a little bit more rural, it's like it wasn't rural but at the time it wasn't developed.

00:01:46.525 --> 00:01:58.209
So there was all this like like private reserve property and state land and as a kid I would just go, I would just literally just go out into the woods until my parents would eventually call.

00:01:59.293 --> 00:02:00.576
But like different world.

00:02:00.576 --> 00:02:01.659
Now right, Different world?

00:02:01.659 --> 00:02:02.242
Yeah, it's.

00:02:02.242 --> 00:02:04.087
You know, I've been in the 90s Like what are you going to do?

00:02:04.128 --> 00:02:09.510
But like I love it, I love it and I can't wait to come up to Canada and just be just out there with you.

00:02:09.510 --> 00:02:10.424
Man, it's going to be great.

00:02:10.705 --> 00:02:12.776
Oh man, we got some stuff that will blow your top off.

00:02:12.776 --> 00:02:14.783
I'm the same way as you can imagine.

00:02:14.783 --> 00:02:25.981
There's Canadians who aren't I don't really understand it, but there's a lot of people who do not get this whole thing that we're like a mass of land mass with a pretty small population.

00:02:25.981 --> 00:02:35.508
Really, I think every Canadian's got something like we measure in kilometers here, but probably something like two square miles per person in this country.

00:02:35.508 --> 00:02:36.371
It's crazy.

00:02:36.820 --> 00:02:37.563
That's a good, solid deal.

00:02:37.563 --> 00:02:43.930
I mean I would love to not be around as many people, so like if there was a way that we could have more land and less people with it.

00:02:43.930 --> 00:02:46.606
Oh, like that's the dream Cause I can imagine.

00:02:46.606 --> 00:02:49.497
It's quiet, it's serene, it's not trashed.

00:02:49.497 --> 00:02:51.603
You know, people take care of the property.

00:02:51.603 --> 00:02:57.044
That's nothing's worse than going to beautiful land and seeing a scenic waterfall.

00:02:57.044 --> 00:03:00.336
And like going deep into the woods and then find like an old car.

00:03:00.336 --> 00:03:02.525
You're like come on, who did this?

00:03:03.668 --> 00:03:10.266
Well, if we had a country with just electricians in it, it would probably have a pretty low GDP because of these price objections.

00:03:11.991 --> 00:03:12.932
You're setting me up on this one.

00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:14.322
Beat down.

00:03:14.322 --> 00:03:23.072
I do want to say man, I love the bad country and, quite honestly, as business owners we tend to neglect those needs, but I consider it a need.

00:03:23.072 --> 00:03:28.152
In fact, the other day I even had an epiphany that was like it might be time to go to the ocean again.

00:03:28.152 --> 00:03:29.658
It's just been a, it's been a minute.

00:03:29.658 --> 00:03:30.561
You know what I mean.

00:03:30.561 --> 00:03:35.991
There's something soothing about just the endless tide and the horizon out there.

00:03:35.991 --> 00:03:36.973
You ever feel that way.

00:03:37.721 --> 00:03:42.032
Actually, yeah, I was very specific view about the ocean, if you don't mind me touching on it quick.

00:03:42.032 --> 00:03:48.438
The ocean is healing, the ocean is constant, the ocean is stable.

00:03:48.438 --> 00:03:50.766
I Go to the ocean to center.

00:03:50.766 --> 00:03:53.479
Hmm, I love doing yoga on the beach.

00:03:53.479 --> 00:04:01.567
I love waking up and doing morning meditations and doing prayer at the beach and like really just Acknowledging what's there and it's a beautiful thing.

00:04:01.567 --> 00:04:05.313
But also the salt water itself is very healing for the body.

00:04:05.313 --> 00:04:18.483
So, like I, I love going and just submersing in the water, just sitting there and knowing that any kind of ailments I have, like cuts and bruises and scrapes, are gonna get healed up and Antibacterial features as well.

00:04:18.483 --> 00:04:19.125
It's really cool.

00:04:19.125 --> 00:04:20.690
It's just the oceans an amazing thing.

00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:21.940
Absolutely.

00:04:21.940 --> 00:04:25.994
Man Couldn't agree more, and I love the river and stream fishing.

00:04:25.994 --> 00:04:29.908
That's my, that's my jam right there, but it's been years since I've really gone and done it.

00:04:29.908 --> 00:04:33.548
So, tisk-tisk, I got a shape up and get that going.

00:04:33.548 --> 00:04:34.771
We were talking a bit about that.

00:04:34.771 --> 00:04:41.961
What would be wrong of us to share that with all of our viewers and listeners, to maybe encourage them to go and do a bit of the same by all?

00:04:42.002 --> 00:04:45.271
means I mean, hey, and we get more people in the bush, I can't see it being a problem.

00:04:45.271 --> 00:04:47.913
I mean, right now I'm just happy because I can see now.

00:04:47.913 --> 00:04:48.980
So I'm just happy, man.

00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:50.184
I had the new glasses.

00:04:50.184 --> 00:04:52.110
Looking fresh, brother, looking fresh.

00:04:52.110 --> 00:04:54.540
Thank you, you're not crying, I.

00:04:55.682 --> 00:04:59.235
Know right, it's like one of those crazy things or people like why are you tearing up?

00:04:59.235 --> 00:05:02.266
It's like I swear to God I'm not being emotional.

00:05:02.266 --> 00:05:06.206
I am emotional, but it's that literally the way my eyes are set up.

00:05:06.206 --> 00:05:07.891
If I stare at a screen too long, my eyes water.

00:05:07.891 --> 00:05:14.151
But now I've got, like these, superglasses that'll filter everything out and can actually see the way I need to see.

00:05:14.151 --> 00:05:14.913
So it's great.

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:20.720
Well, brother, I gotta let you know Gary Fan is with us, live in the Electripreneur's Secrets Group.

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.630
He says we should stop bragging about Canada and how beautiful it is.

00:05:24.630 --> 00:05:31.600
So we're gonna go ahead and do that and move on to the topic a little more price objection beat down today, joe.

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:44.771
I think it's important to finish the week pretty strong, because we've talked pretty deep on a lot of the pieces but we haven't really been able to bring it all together Like the value piece that we started putting out there on Wednesday.

00:05:44.771 --> 00:05:46.596
Guys, today's your final call.

00:05:46.637 --> 00:05:51.009

00:05:51.009 --> 00:05:55.389
You can reach us there or on our Facebook groups the best place to grab that.

00:05:55.389 --> 00:06:00.067
It may even be emailed to our Fan club on the emails.

00:06:00.067 --> 00:06:02.980
So if that's something you guys want to be a part of, absolutely reach out.

00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:07.740
We're gonna help you with this, all of that and more, and continue to do this week after week.

00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:09.105
So get in touch.

00:06:09.105 --> 00:06:16.319
We're here to serve you and, again, help you master sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium level electrical service.

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.728
Joe, can we just role play this and then break it up?

00:06:20.470 --> 00:06:20.911
Sure good.

00:06:21.552 --> 00:06:23.161
All right, man Listen.

00:06:23.161 --> 00:06:30.374
Joe, I appreciate that you have all the options and everything you've done here, but I just called for this ceiling fan.

00:06:30.374 --> 00:06:31.096
It does.

00:06:31.096 --> 00:06:31.779
It's not working.

00:06:31.779 --> 00:06:44.339
There's something wrong with the switch and I just him having trouble is understanding why that is gonna cost me, at the lowest option you've presented, $350.

00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:45.382
I completely understand.

00:06:45.382 --> 00:07:03.908
We are coming from clay, and the first thing I just want to address is that if I've given you the impression that you're just paying for that particular device, then I've let you down, because a hundred percent of what you're paying for is our service, and that service comes before, during and after every time we serve you.

00:07:03.908 --> 00:07:06.447
Can I explain a little more of what that actually means?

00:07:07.380 --> 00:07:12.913
Or would like to know or would like to know why so many other customers still choose to use us, even if we're more of an investment.

00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:14.903
Yeah, please do Okay.

00:07:15.685 --> 00:07:19.613
So let's talk about the first time you ever gave us a call, when you called us.

00:07:19.613 --> 00:07:22.163
What was that experience like talking to the office?

00:07:22.966 --> 00:07:24.668
It was pleasant, it was good, they were nice.

00:07:25.350 --> 00:07:25.610
Awesome.

00:07:25.610 --> 00:07:42.293
Well, let's talk about the reason why what we do is, rather than hire some high school kid or someone who doesn't have a ton of customer service experience, or even get an automated robot service, we have a trained professional behind the phone who knows how to connect you with the proper schedule and with the right technician.

00:07:42.293 --> 00:07:48.834
We have opened in the later hours to where we can make sure that you're not waiting on standby or constantly on hold.

00:07:48.834 --> 00:07:54.762
Now, obviously, it would cost less if we didn't provide you that service the first off.

00:07:54.762 --> 00:07:57.810
Is it wrong for us to want to provide you a better level experience?

00:07:59.201 --> 00:08:08.872
Well, no, I mean the other companies I called didn't call back or didn't answer or put me on hold, and and definitely so it was helpful to be able to get to talk to someone.

00:08:09.452 --> 00:08:11.197
I get that so that's the first thing.

00:08:11.197 --> 00:08:14.228
Obviously, you know you're getting a better front end experience from beginning to end.

00:08:14.228 --> 00:08:16.824
The second thing then is the during.

00:08:16.824 --> 00:08:21.113
We came here and we didn't just focus on the one thing you called us for.

00:08:21.113 --> 00:08:24.742
We focused on the entire system Infrastructureally as a whole.

00:08:24.742 --> 00:08:32.440
Because if you think about it, you want your fan installed right, but if I were to connect to something that had a safety concern down the line, would it be wrong?

00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:33.711
We don't at least want to tell you about it.

00:08:33.731 --> 00:08:41.032
I no, and ultimately I don't want to have to have you back or have the same problem again.

00:08:41.673 --> 00:08:41.993
Correct.

00:08:41.993 --> 00:08:48.686
So what we did when we were here was we looked at everything as a whole, not only what you asked for, but what directly connects to it.

00:08:48.686 --> 00:08:53.389
That way, when we actually give you a price, we can stand behind it and guarantee it.

00:08:53.389 --> 00:08:56.788
But even more so, we didn't just give you a price.

00:08:56.788 --> 00:09:03.505
We sat down and engineered a complete range of options, from the finest money can buy to the most bare bones you can possibly have.

00:09:03.505 --> 00:09:08.831
We did this so you can have more control and better availability on what you have.

00:09:08.831 --> 00:09:11.184
Was it wrong of me to want to give you that kind of control?

00:09:12.128 --> 00:09:15.028
No, no, like I said, we did appreciate the options.

00:09:15.028 --> 00:09:20.442
Again, it was just the bottom price that was shocking to us, and definitely more than we anticipated.

00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:21.841
And I hear you.

00:09:21.841 --> 00:09:24.225
The thing is, it goes even beyond that.

00:09:24.225 --> 00:09:27.908
While we're working together, it's not just what we're doing now.

00:09:27.908 --> 00:09:34.407
We also serve you after we've worked together, meaning after we've installed the ceiling fan for you and we put everything into what you want.

00:09:34.407 --> 00:09:38.509
If there was ever a problem, would you want to have to pay again for us to come back out?

00:09:39.981 --> 00:09:42.288
No, definitely not, with work that you provided.

00:09:42.307 --> 00:09:42.909
Yeah.

00:09:42.909 --> 00:10:00.000
So the thing is, we actually go and offer a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee, meaning that what we're going to do is I am so confident in the workmanship that we're going to put in that you'll never have to call me back, and if there was ever an opportunity that I had to, we would 100% cover what the thing was.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.783
That's because we are known to be trained at the highest level, and that's the exact level we want to serve you at.

00:10:06.783 --> 00:10:12.529
So, realistically, what you're paying for isn't just that.

00:10:12.529 --> 00:10:19.306
You're paying for the experience before, during and after, because we refuse to cut corners on quality, reliability and customer service.

00:10:19.306 --> 00:10:30.311
So, to sum all this up, what I'm trying to ask is this Because we wanted to offer you this level of service, we felt that you deserved it.

00:10:30.311 --> 00:10:38.849
Because we felt you deserved it, there has to be a certain price point to deliver that service, and that means there's more of an investment than someone who's willing to cut those corners.

00:10:38.849 --> 00:10:41.866
Was it wrong for us to not be willing to cut those corners?

00:10:43.201 --> 00:10:45.287
No, no, I get what you're trying to do here, Joe.

00:10:46.049 --> 00:10:48.116
Okay, so how would you like to proceed?

00:10:49.361 --> 00:10:52.789
Well, you're here and maybe I'll take the.

00:10:52.789 --> 00:10:53.692
I guess.

00:10:55.624 --> 00:10:56.967
I'll choose you.

00:10:56.967 --> 00:10:58.283
Okay, you're going to try and say, I guess.

00:10:58.283 --> 00:11:06.725
Well, clay, I really appreciate you saying that and, trust me, I am honored to work with you, but I do have one concern with us, and that is you said I guess I'll work with you.

00:11:06.725 --> 00:11:22.548
I don't want to have a relationship with someone who's not fully committed to having a relationship with me, and what that means is this is that if you feel like you can only guess about working with us, then we probably shouldn't be working together, because I only want to work with someone who's 100% satisfied with what we're doing.

00:11:22.548 --> 00:11:31.767
So let's figure this out Either A can we discuss what it's going to take to make you 100% satisfied, or can we discuss on how we should part as friends.

00:11:33.504 --> 00:11:34.668
No, you were actually right, Joe.

00:11:34.668 --> 00:11:38.428
I was using loose language, but I do want to use you.

00:11:39.230 --> 00:11:42.448
Okay, now, if you don't mind me asking, why are you so interested in using us?

00:11:42.448 --> 00:11:45.427
I mean, when we first started talking, you were telling us that you were worried about the price.

00:11:45.427 --> 00:11:46.650
What's changed since then?

00:11:47.442 --> 00:11:48.024
Well, I definitely.

00:11:48.024 --> 00:11:55.606
Since you explained it, I do feel like I'm going to get everything we need here and without any problems, and that's pretty important to me because I'm a busy person.

00:11:56.349 --> 00:11:59.967
And you know what I want to design options to make sure we respect that time as well.

00:11:59.967 --> 00:12:01.802
So which one of these choices did you want to do?

00:12:02.883 --> 00:12:03.543
Just the basic.

00:12:03.543 --> 00:12:04.405
Let's stay small.

00:12:04.927 --> 00:12:05.567
That's a great choice.

00:12:05.567 --> 00:12:06.629
It's a great choice.

00:12:06.629 --> 00:12:07.450
I'm happy to help you with that.

00:12:07.450 --> 00:12:09.173
Let's see what we can do to get this taken care of for you, okay.

00:12:09.673 --> 00:12:09.933
All right.

00:12:09.933 --> 00:12:14.328
So out of character, I know we did a, we did a curveball there.

00:12:15.009 --> 00:12:16.604
Yeah, you just really jumped right into it.

00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:21.250
Wednesday I was trying to be an asshole, but today I really wanted to hit the I guess as well.

00:12:21.250 --> 00:12:23.908
Can we just talk about that and break out the I guess first?

00:12:23.908 --> 00:12:30.532
We'll start at the end and why that was so important for you not to just take at that point and do the exchange.

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:31.260
Okay.

00:12:31.260 --> 00:12:38.861
The reason why I guess is so dangerous is because what if you really look at the words and you understand?

00:12:38.861 --> 00:12:47.386
It's not just what your client is telling you, it's what are they really saying when someone says I guess I have to do this?

00:12:47.386 --> 00:12:53.649
They don't say that from a volition point, like that's not like a oh, I am so excited to work with you.

00:12:53.649 --> 00:12:56.427
It's like a if, I guess I have to work with you.

00:12:57.580 --> 00:13:15.469
Now, if someone feels like they're compelled to the point where they have to, like they don't have another choice, but they're not comfortable, they don't really want to, but this is the choice, they'll say something like I guess, but that same person, if given the opportunity to cancel with you to go with someone else that they do, like we'll do so.

00:13:15.469 --> 00:13:24.604
So the I guess is an indicator that they're truly not convinced and that you don't really have the sale, even if they're swiping their card.

00:13:24.604 --> 00:13:36.011
So I used it more as a way of saying that's a flag here, like there's a problem that they're trying to communicate, even if they don't realize they're communicating it.

00:13:36.011 --> 00:13:39.389
So what I like to do is back it up and say, well, hold on for a second.

00:13:39.389 --> 00:13:41.770
I just want to make sure we're on the same page.

00:13:41.770 --> 00:13:43.611
You had said I guess I'll work with you.

00:13:43.611 --> 00:13:46.551
I don't want to work with someone unless they're fully committed working with us.

00:13:46.551 --> 00:13:49.994
You know, and you can even go, depending on how they say it.

00:13:49.994 --> 00:13:53.010
You can be like can you explain a little bit more of what your hesitation might be?

00:13:53.010 --> 00:14:02.190
Because I don't want to take your money and make you feel like you're just making an unequal exchange, like I want you to be happy with what we're doing, otherwise you probably shouldn't do it.

00:14:03.825 --> 00:14:06.011
The benefit of that is it's actually a pull.

00:14:06.011 --> 00:14:12.511
You're telling the customer that I want to work with you but I'm not going to if you're not fully satisfied.

00:14:12.511 --> 00:14:17.868
Either A they'll change their tone and be like no, no, no, I'm happy, I want this.

00:14:17.868 --> 00:14:23.854
I was just I misspoke, I'm sorry or they'll specify what's going on.

00:14:23.854 --> 00:14:27.067
Well, you know, joe, I want to work with you, but it's still a lot more than I thought it was going to be.

00:14:27.086 --> 00:14:32.149
Like $400 for a fan, like I just I didn't think it was going to be that the fan was 200 bucks.

00:14:32.149 --> 00:14:33.549
I was told double that it should be.

00:14:33.549 --> 00:14:36.090
You know, okay, I thought it was $400 in total.

00:14:36.090 --> 00:14:47.230
I don't have $600 for this, like okay, well, let's come up with a more economical option, because if I do this for you and you're not happy before it's even installed, what if the odd job would be happy when it's done?

00:14:47.230 --> 00:14:49.970
What if the odd job would be happening when you're handing me the check at the end?

00:14:49.970 --> 00:14:53.292
Is it wrong for me to want to prioritize your happiness in this?

00:14:53.292 --> 00:15:01.374
That's the real angle to go for, and I think your customer would see it as well.

00:15:03.745 --> 00:15:04.649
It became a commitment.

00:15:04.649 --> 00:15:14.230
It was a half-ass commitment and you forced it back into I shouldn't say forced, but you didn't settle for a half-ass commitment.

00:15:14.230 --> 00:15:28.892
You sat there in the ridiculous, as we've said so many times, to make sure this went to the place, that they were making a decision and you weren't forcing their hand in any way, shape or form, and that they still have the options.

00:15:28.892 --> 00:15:39.712
The power here, though, still kind of ties to that value driver equation, and this originally came from, essentially, alex Hormozzi's book, $100 million offers.

00:15:39.712 --> 00:15:42.869
But I love this equation and it's something that we reference often.

00:15:42.869 --> 00:15:51.456
It's on the bottom side of this equation are two things that we're trying to reduce at all times, and that's time, delay and effort and sacrifice.

00:15:51.456 --> 00:16:03.552
So, while I can even appreciate that, absolutely your basic option is often much bigger than they were imagining, especially on a demand call, call out.

00:16:04.284 --> 00:16:09.173
Yeah, very rarely is someone saying like, yeah, you have one GFI that's tripped in my bathroom.

00:16:09.173 --> 00:16:09.746
That just you know.

00:16:09.746 --> 00:16:10.409
It's just weird.

00:16:10.409 --> 00:16:11.448
It just doesn't want to reset.

00:16:11.448 --> 00:16:16.893
They're not expecting a $600 bill Like there's no way they were expecting that.

00:16:16.893 --> 00:16:25.447
But at the same time, when you communicate why it is what it is, as well as what they're really gonna receive from it, that's great.

00:16:25.447 --> 00:16:29.226
But we can't settle Like you're right.

00:16:29.226 --> 00:16:32.273
You have to stretch it to the ridiculous and be like this is what you want.

00:16:32.273 --> 00:16:36.830
I want to help you get there, but I don't want to take your money.

00:16:37.471 --> 00:16:39.616
If you feel like this is an unequal exchange right now.

00:16:40.684 --> 00:16:43.711
Absolutely, and we haven't really said it enough this week.

00:16:43.711 --> 00:16:46.938
But also, like STYO, stick to your offer.

00:16:46.938 --> 00:16:48.991
You can't settle either.

00:16:50.745 --> 00:16:52.830
Discounting this call is not appropriate.

00:16:52.850 --> 00:17:03.676
That's not a solution that's long-term and sustainable, and that's why this week has been maybe one of the most important weeks We've ever done on this podcast to really try to help electricians with this.

00:17:03.676 --> 00:17:22.585
Because if that's the common case on a demand call and your priced right and your offer set up right, then you're going to be more expensive than they think and that means likely you're gonna face this very objection 10 plus times a week and if your team's larger, maybe two, three, four times that.

00:17:22.585 --> 00:17:28.877
So shouldn't we have this on on autopilot, on speed dial dial?

00:17:28.877 --> 00:18:00.644
Then shouldn't we be saying this to ourselves every day in the van On the way to the customer's house, reviewing the offer, knowing it, checking your team on it, just throwing out objections to your team at random several times a week to make sure that not just the sales team Gets it but even the office administration gets it, so that when someone calls and has a price objection, even on the phone, you can start to, as a team, be unified in your solution or your articulation of that value?

00:18:01.607 --> 00:18:04.757
I love that and I we think we can even stretch it even further.

00:18:05.246 --> 00:18:07.414
Let's because this is one of the ridiculous.

00:18:07.876 --> 00:18:12.419
I know right well, if you think about this, you mentioned, like this, something that their team should know about.

00:18:12.419 --> 00:18:21.615
You should continually drill it, and I think the thing that should be said is we want to serve our clients before, during and after in every possible interaction.

00:18:21.615 --> 00:18:34.237
Because, if you think about it, if they're not served before, the technician shows up less than a 10 out of 10, because they are thinking of the company as a whole, not the individual components of it.

00:18:34.237 --> 00:18:40.278
So if your office didn't give them the best service at the beginning, there's marks off the technician.

00:18:40.278 --> 00:18:44.224
So instead of showing up as a 10 out of 10, the technician shows up as a 7 out of 10.

00:18:44.224 --> 00:18:47.976
Yeah, now they've got to build 10 out of 10 value.

00:18:47.976 --> 00:18:54.646
So they actually have to build more value just to get to an even playing field Compared to.

00:18:54.686 --> 00:19:07.237
If the office had delivered that amazing experience, they might have been boosted up from what they thought the company would have been verse lowering it and Then later down the line once the technician delivers his value.

00:19:07.237 --> 00:19:17.798
We need the installers to also be just as communicative, because no one wants the sales guy to come up and then be like, hey, I got the sale, you never see me again.

00:19:17.798 --> 00:19:29.750
The installer should continue that same relationship, and that's what completes the cycle is where the salesperson then comes back and reviews it, as I'm so happy there's a lifetime warranty.

00:19:29.750 --> 00:19:33.343
Those things are just essential to taking it to that ridiculous level.

00:19:33.824 --> 00:19:41.395
Yeah, that's on point for sure, man, and and each of those, you kind of average out your overall score of the customer experience.

00:19:41.876 --> 00:19:41.997
Mm-hmm.

00:19:42.285 --> 00:19:52.795
And I just want to, I'm reminded of and I want to bring forward again like people do do business With people they know like and trust.

00:19:53.726 --> 00:19:53.865
Mm-hmm.

00:19:54.446 --> 00:19:54.748
I agree.

00:19:54.748 --> 00:20:07.916
So if, if on that journey they encounter three different people in this operation and that experience and Person one and three they don't actually have any rapport or trust with, that's a problem.

00:20:09.006 --> 00:20:09.125
Mm-hmm.

00:20:09.727 --> 00:20:23.491
That's a price of which you get it off all three need to be in sync, congruent with your offer, right, and if you guys, again, if you don't have the value piece, you got to grab this thing, that value, offer, price, objection beat down.

00:20:23.491 --> 00:20:29.838
We started giving it away Wednesday, we're finishing giving it away today, but that's gonna help you understand.

00:20:29.838 --> 00:20:50.080
We're giving you away our SOP for objection handling, level one how to Really differentiate the objection from a reaction, because there's differences there that are pointed out, right, very much so, very, very much so how to build an irresistible offer that you and your team can get behind in every case.

00:20:50.641 --> 00:20:57.805
And, finally, how to articulate this, just like Joe just did, so that it's not so much word for word.

00:20:57.805 --> 00:21:12.584
I'm just gonna memorize this line and say it and orchestrate another slimy deal where someone felt tricked into paying our price, but where you and your team actually believe in what you're doing and have annihilated this, obliterated this objection once and for all.

00:21:12.604 --> 00:21:15.112
I Mean can't do better than that.

00:21:15.112 --> 00:21:17.280
That sounds like a straight-up golden platter right there.

00:21:17.923 --> 00:21:21.279
All right, brother, we're actually out of time already, if you can believe that.

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:26.996
Oh wow, cool, we got to come up with a couple action items and actually try to finish this week strong.

00:21:26.996 --> 00:21:27.817
Big Friday.

00:21:27.817 --> 00:21:35.244
I'm wishing everyone an awesome Afternoon and an awesome weekend, but what do you think for a couple action items on this one, joe?

00:21:35.705 --> 00:21:36.951
I'd be happy to take him if you're willing.

00:21:37.532 --> 00:21:38.154
Let's do it, man.

00:21:38.576 --> 00:21:38.856
Okay.

00:21:38.856 --> 00:21:41.224
So we've gone through a lot of different ways.

00:21:41.224 --> 00:21:43.442
We've gone through a lot of different objection handle techniques.

00:21:43.442 --> 00:21:45.792
This week I want to try and give you something that we haven't before.

00:21:45.792 --> 00:21:53.800
So the most basic that I can possibly suggest is do you know which objections are stumping you Right?

00:21:53.800 --> 00:22:00.301
The very bare minimum is I know that when I get this objection, I fold.

00:22:00.301 --> 00:22:04.230
Or when I get this objection, I feel like a balloon that's been deflated.

00:22:04.230 --> 00:22:07.049
I'm like oh, they just want me to email it over.

00:22:07.049 --> 00:22:09.019
Oh, they want to talk to their spouse.

00:22:09.019 --> 00:22:11.928
Oh, whatever it is, you have to know what that list is.

00:22:11.928 --> 00:22:22.148
So the bare Bearest minimum is can you at least produce a list that if you had a coach or trainer like ourselves, you could say this is what's stumping me?

00:22:22.148 --> 00:22:24.923
That's level one, mm-hmm.

00:22:24.923 --> 00:22:32.970
Now level two is not only just understanding what objection, but why and how it makes you feel.

00:22:34.260 --> 00:22:38.071
Now, the reason why I want to ask the feel into it is, clay, let me ask you a question.

00:22:38.071 --> 00:22:38.902
Go ahead.

00:22:38.902 --> 00:22:43.903
If I were to come to you and say that we were expensive, right, like would you?

00:22:43.903 --> 00:22:45.166
You and I run electricity.

00:22:45.166 --> 00:22:48.884
We're both running an electrical company, yep, and we had it set up.

00:22:48.884 --> 00:22:49.486
Where what?

00:22:49.486 --> 00:22:53.433
I'm your technician and I tell you that we're expensive.

00:22:53.433 --> 00:22:55.526
What does that say about me as the?

00:22:55.526 --> 00:22:56.910
What does that show about my beliefs?

00:22:58.340 --> 00:23:05.548
That you don't believe in the value we provide or understand the pricing Structure and why we're priced that way.

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:11.553
Correct the offer the third thing could be because people are telling me that we're expensive.

00:23:11.553 --> 00:23:16.065
Yes yes, yeah perspective shift.

00:23:16.605 --> 00:23:16.807
Yeah.

00:23:16.807 --> 00:23:21.788
So now we're going into this and saying, well, why do I feel like I can't handle this objection?

00:23:21.788 --> 00:23:27.732
The times that we feel we can't handle an objection is usually when we actually believe the objections truth.

00:23:27.732 --> 00:23:34.991
If you believe your client, you're not going to argue with them because you're both on the same page.

00:23:34.991 --> 00:23:41.839
But if you don't believe your client, it's almost intrinsic that you'd be like wait a second, let's time out here wait.

00:23:42.300 --> 00:23:42.742
Hold on.

00:23:42.742 --> 00:23:45.832
Did I give you the impression you're paying for parts like that?

00:23:45.832 --> 00:23:47.076
I wait a second.

00:23:47.076 --> 00:23:55.313
I Must have dropped the ball here, because you see how that just comes naturally out like because I believe that I'm not charging you for parts.

00:23:55.313 --> 00:24:01.686
Yeah, I believe that even if I was $500 an hour, I'm going to find a way to make it valuable at that level.

00:24:01.686 --> 00:24:03.833
I believe in what we're doing.

00:24:03.833 --> 00:24:08.588
So the objections is that or the assignment is this bare minimum.

00:24:08.588 --> 00:24:10.573
What objections are you facing?

00:24:10.573 --> 00:24:12.267
Apex level.

00:24:12.267 --> 00:24:17.549
What are you feeling when the client tells you this and let's try to explore?

00:24:17.549 --> 00:24:18.792
Why are you feeling it?

00:24:20.582 --> 00:24:25.703
Nice and that's going to lead you to some big root cause shit there, man, and that's going to help massive.

00:24:25.703 --> 00:24:28.852
So I can't blame you for for dropping those ones.

00:24:28.852 --> 00:24:30.565
Awesome, awesome, awesome.

00:24:30.565 --> 00:24:39.332
And of course, grabbing that value piece is going to help you guys even further and with that last piece you mentioned on that, perspective shift is absolutely critical.

00:24:39.332 --> 00:24:43.460
We can't start to believe this stuff, guys, but here's what I do believe.

00:24:43.460 --> 00:24:54.001
I believe each and every one of you are going to have a fantastic weekend and come back even stronger Next week than you were this week, joe, absolutely.

00:24:54.001 --> 00:24:58.960
Thank you again, man, and let's have a great weekend and we'll see you next week truly my pleasure.

00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.989
I can't wait to see you guys have a wonderful weekend.

00:25:01.652 --> 00:25:01.932
Cheers.

00:25:02.394 --> 00:25:02.535
Bye.
