00:00:01.542 --> 00:00:06.592
Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to another episode of Electric Pneur Secrets.

00:00:06.592 --> 00:00:14.445
I think I've got the number right when I say this is episode 195, Joe, the science of success and the art of fulfillment.

00:00:14.445 --> 00:00:27.949
I can't wait to get into that and just how it's going to help you, Mr Electric Pneur, or Mrs, Could be a Mrs Electric Pneur out there mastering your sales, simplifying your pricing and delivering premium level electrical service.

00:00:27.949 --> 00:00:32.229
This is always with me is my esteemed co-host, Joseph the Salesbot, Luke Canny.

00:00:32.229 --> 00:00:33.825
Joe, how are you doing today, my brother?

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.866
All things considered, I think it's a great day.

00:00:36.866 --> 00:00:41.890
I want to just give a credit for something here, because you know how you mentioned.

00:00:41.890 --> 00:00:43.685
First thing, you're like Mr Actually misses.

00:00:43.685 --> 00:00:45.161
I love that.

00:00:45.161 --> 00:00:48.130
It's a he she they support in our community.

00:00:48.130 --> 00:00:53.985
No matter what you identify with, no matter where you are, no matter what your background is, there's a place for you here.

00:00:53.985 --> 00:00:55.805
You're welcome and accepted.

00:00:55.805 --> 00:00:57.423
I love that we bring that energy.

00:00:57.966 --> 00:00:58.206
Nice.

00:00:58.206 --> 00:01:00.603
Well, I am the pleasant peasant, this is.

00:01:00.603 --> 00:01:09.629
Canada up in this territory that I roam in these winter months, when I choose to go outside and roam it in the rain, I wouldn't want to go and roam it in the rain.

00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.144
I remember you were telling me you're going for a walk and you're like yeah, when it's not raining, you got to go outside.

00:01:13.144 --> 00:01:15.858
I'm like God, yeah.

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.403
Well, here's the, the stark reality.

00:01:17.403 --> 00:01:18.927
Joe, 75 E heart.

00:01:18.927 --> 00:01:21.319
I had to get up, I had to do my exercise.

00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:33.846
There happens to be a Coliseum, a skating rink, a hockey rink and a hockey team here and there's like seven sets of of like three story stairs, concrete stairs that you can go up and down to get into this building.

00:01:33.846 --> 00:01:38.971
So I like walk and jog up the stairs, that do some like lunge steps up them.

00:01:38.971 --> 00:01:47.951
But also I heard this study recently that one of the first deteriorations deteriorations, deteriorations.

00:01:48.111 --> 00:01:50.015
I'm not sure I'm sorry, thank you.

00:01:50.719 --> 00:02:14.826
So I'm going to talk about the deteriorations of our muscle mass as we age is actually this kind of tier two muscle the guy called it where he's talking about your, your ability to withstand impact, your ability to walk downhill, hence why a lot of older people break their hips, et cetera, like there's a large portion of people that aren't actually equipped to even walk on a decline at this point.

00:02:14.826 --> 00:02:31.188
I didn't realize that, but there's some reflex muscles in there and stabilizer muscles that are really, really, really important and because they deteriorate first, stairs are actually a really powerful thing to continue to exercise on and do so.

00:02:31.188 --> 00:02:34.758
I did that and went for a jog, you're right, and I made class.

00:02:34.758 --> 00:02:35.600
It was good morning.

00:02:36.082 --> 00:02:36.804
It really was.

00:02:36.804 --> 00:02:41.735
I always love seeing you in class and you know it's interesting how people say like that the muscles deteriorate over time.

00:02:41.735 --> 00:02:45.048
But technically that's the same with everything Like.

00:02:45.048 --> 00:02:48.939
I'm sure the electricians out there that are listening are like well, has this applied to me?

00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:55.962
It applies to you in the way that if you don't practice your sales muscles, they will deteriorate.

00:02:55.962 --> 00:03:00.198
If you don't practice your service muscles, they deteriorate.

00:03:00.198 --> 00:03:06.479
So the fact is is that if you take a piece of metal, you drop it in water, within eight hours it's gonna come up.

00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:07.342
It's gonna come up rusty.

00:03:07.342 --> 00:03:12.397
Are you practicing that often so that your edge is always sharp?

00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:14.361
100%.

00:03:14.361 --> 00:03:19.338
It's Action Wednesday, but I'm always pulled to this mindset thing and it's such a big topic.

00:03:19.338 --> 00:03:28.665
But as you speak to that, I can't help but reflect on this study I actually read about recently where there was two sets of maids hotel maids.

00:03:28.665 --> 00:03:33.884
They clean rooms and they asked everyone well, how often do you exercise?

00:03:33.884 --> 00:03:42.298
And almost all of them and said, well, we don't really, we don't have time, we got families to take care of, we got to go home after work, we got to do all this stuff.

00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:49.584
They split the group in two and then they told one group that actually you're getting exercise in your work.

00:03:49.584 --> 00:03:55.001
Right now, in this eight hour job, monday to Friday, you're getting exercise.

00:03:55.001 --> 00:03:58.189
And what happened was actually remarkable.

00:03:58.189 --> 00:04:12.828
The people they told that to actually had more intention in their work and took that and realized, oh wow, I can be healthier through my work and so they would clean with a little more vigor, vigor, vigor.

00:04:12.828 --> 00:04:16.843
I wasn't going to call you on, I was not going to call you on no due to boot.

00:04:16.843 --> 00:04:24.665
So they do this and what happened is over over.

00:04:24.665 --> 00:04:26.250
I think it was 60 day period.

00:04:26.250 --> 00:04:36.062
There was a measurable difference in muscle mass from those that knew they were getting exercise at work versus those that didn't have that little incentivized, little mindset difference.

00:04:36.062 --> 00:04:38.088
Isn't that remarkable?

00:04:38.855 --> 00:04:41.363
You know, I actually try to do something similar as well.

00:04:41.363 --> 00:04:50.105
So I found that getting up and working on is hard right, but what I found is that I have two young kids under four.

00:04:50.105 --> 00:04:59.937
So when it comes to play, I actively try to do overheads, I try to do swings, I try to do one arm climbs, and the fun thing is like what's up.

00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:00.699
Timeout.

00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:06.377
Are you openly admitting to using your children as physical weights to exercise with?

00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:07.341
Of course.

00:05:07.341 --> 00:05:11.875
But the benefit is this is that they're playing you know what I mean.

00:05:11.875 --> 00:05:19.404
Like you take the little baby and you want them to bounce on the bed, but I'm taking a 30 pound weight and I'm doing overhead lists with them.

00:05:19.404 --> 00:05:25.026
They're bouncing on the bed, they're giggling like crazy, but I'm getting something in the background you know why?

00:05:25.086 --> 00:05:26.252
not Absolutely.

00:05:26.252 --> 00:05:30.610
And here I was at your house thinking you were doing all that for the joy of fatherhood.

00:05:30.610 --> 00:05:36.927
Big smiles, I'm kind of in the vibe brother Joe's in his prime and I'm like where is he getting all this energy from?

00:05:36.927 --> 00:05:38.276
These kids are flying.

00:05:38.276 --> 00:05:41.223
That's it.

00:05:41.223 --> 00:05:41.904
That's your secret.

00:05:41.904 --> 00:05:43.548
Turn your kids into exercise, folks.

00:05:43.548 --> 00:05:44.656
Mic drop.

00:05:44.656 --> 00:05:47.305
Action item launched Talk to y'all later.

00:05:47.666 --> 00:05:48.651
Oh boy, no.

00:05:48.651 --> 00:06:05.158
This ties in perfectly with the topic today and it's a realization that I had to again come back to yesterday, which makes it relevant, because we're running a business, you're running a business and sometimes we're maybe missing our targets.

00:06:05.158 --> 00:06:10.338
Maybe it's a sales goal we have and we're not quite hitting it For a lot of people.

00:06:10.338 --> 00:06:13.529
I hear a couple of numbers that happen quite frequently.

00:06:13.529 --> 00:06:19.189
One is 2000 a day per van and the other is we've got to break through a million dollars this year.

00:06:19.189 --> 00:06:21.598
Sounds familiar, right?

00:06:21.598 --> 00:06:23.286
A couple different reasons for those.

00:06:23.286 --> 00:06:26.740
The two grand a day per van is a more accurate, more commonly accepted one.

00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:37.237
The million dollars is actually more popular and if you walk down the road and ask people how much they need to retire, like 80% of people will still say a million dollars.

00:06:37.237 --> 00:06:47.007
A million dollars arbitrarily, with no plan for that million and no idea how short they would come if only they had a million dollars and retired at 60 or 65.

00:06:48.035 --> 00:06:48.435
It's really.

00:06:48.435 --> 00:06:49.278
It's such a shame.

00:06:49.278 --> 00:06:55.331
You know, and I remember when I was talking to my financial advisor, I actually came up with that same number when I was first doing it.

00:06:55.331 --> 00:06:56.415
I was like, yeah, about a million dollars.

00:06:56.415 --> 00:06:58.601
He's like, well, you need at least three.

00:06:59.603 --> 00:07:00.867
And I'm like oh fuck.

00:07:00.867 --> 00:07:02.576
Very cool.

00:07:02.576 --> 00:07:03.559
We're in trouble here.

00:07:04.562 --> 00:07:06.105
Now we're making sure I'm not worried about it.

00:07:06.314 --> 00:07:08.620
It's contextual, but let's bring this back to electrical.

00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:24.007
So science of success is hey, if I run three calls a day on average and I close 80% and our average ticket is a thousand dollars or more, we're all right and we set these standards and we set these targets.

00:07:24.007 --> 00:07:26.420
But what about when we don't live up to them?

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:29.447
This is where things get a little bit tricky.

00:07:29.447 --> 00:07:32.420
What about when you're not hitting your targets?

00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:41.165
You can extract and look at the information and look at it from different angles and go okay, well, the conversion rate just dropped.

00:07:41.165 --> 00:07:44.769
Okay, well, demand calls aren't doing as good as opportunity calls.

00:07:44.769 --> 00:07:46.197
We're not getting any demand calls.

00:07:46.197 --> 00:07:51.497
Suddenly we're getting less calls a day, more opportunities, more to call closes, more time spent, less conversion.

00:07:51.497 --> 00:07:54.625
There's all these little factors that weigh into this.

00:07:54.625 --> 00:07:59.343
But what do you yourself do to correct these things?

00:07:59.343 --> 00:08:02.353
So I love this.

00:08:02.985 --> 00:08:04.512
I think the topic right comes in place.

00:08:04.644 --> 00:08:06.050
You can tell hands start rubbing together.

00:08:06.050 --> 00:08:06.572
I'm excited.

00:08:07.105 --> 00:08:07.848
James is with us.

00:08:07.848 --> 00:08:10.571
He says guilty, you got it, james.

00:08:10.571 --> 00:08:11.829
Let's unpack it just a bit.

00:08:12.451 --> 00:08:12.672
Okay.

00:08:12.672 --> 00:08:21.435
So one of the things that I run into whenever I needed to figure out where my sales were going south, everyone looks at it like, oh, there's these big levers.

00:08:21.435 --> 00:08:22.769
You need to change your process.

00:08:22.769 --> 00:08:28.014
No, I love fundamental basic sales training.

00:08:28.014 --> 00:08:37.296
The reason being is that I found the more I focused on the core of what I was trying to do, the more I would see the gaps of what I wasn't doing.

00:08:38.186 --> 00:08:43.196
When you're like okay, I know, a value exchange happens when I come in as a 10.

00:08:43.196 --> 00:08:48.337
What have I done in the pre-arrival process that I'm missing?

00:08:48.337 --> 00:08:51.008
That is making me not show up as a 10?

00:08:51.008 --> 00:08:54.125
And, believe it or not, you'll often find multiple levers.

00:08:54.125 --> 00:09:01.072
Be like oh, I'm not memorizing the customer's name, I'm not looking up the house in advance, I am diagnosing before I get there.

00:09:01.072 --> 00:09:06.847
And then you're like oh, because you're diagnosing in advance, you already have preconception of how the call is going to go.

00:09:06.847 --> 00:09:08.312
And then you fumble it.

00:09:08.312 --> 00:09:12.601
Or you're not going through the FOIA report properly and getting the.

00:09:12.601 --> 00:09:14.168
What are we hoping to accomplish today?

00:09:14.168 --> 00:09:16.350
You're not getting your multiple commitments.

00:09:16.350 --> 00:09:26.370
So instead of fancifying it which is a word I just made up I'm looking and saying what in the core of what we teach?

00:09:26.370 --> 00:09:29.475
Am I not doing to its best ability?

00:09:30.918 --> 00:09:36.634
I love that and James is with us, live in the Facebook group, as I mentioned, and James says vulnerably I love that.

00:09:36.634 --> 00:09:39.149
James, thanks for joining us and just keep hoping.

00:09:39.149 --> 00:09:41.331
Sometimes Now it's time to be more proactive.

00:09:41.331 --> 00:09:43.109
So James is clearly trying to take steps.

00:09:43.109 --> 00:09:47.791
Brother, thanks for joining us, thanks for taking those steps, but more importantly that, keep hoping.

00:09:47.791 --> 00:09:48.131
Part.

00:09:49.705 --> 00:09:51.610
This is where the art of fulfillment ties in.

00:09:51.610 --> 00:09:54.568
Hope is a beggar.

00:09:54.568 --> 00:10:01.528
Faith walks through the fire, knowing that everything's okay and everything you need is on the other side.

00:10:01.528 --> 00:10:06.955
The art and the science are necessary in the correction of these things.

00:10:06.955 --> 00:10:17.092
Forgive me if I'm going in the foo foo space a little bit, but think of it like this for a second Do you really want to hit the 2k a day mark?

00:10:17.092 --> 00:10:20.731
Do you really want to hit your KPI?

00:10:20.731 --> 00:10:29.472
Because after the science is done, after we do the math, it's time to show the work and, like Joe's saying, getting back to the basics.

00:10:29.472 --> 00:10:31.230
I mean that's the basics.

00:10:31.230 --> 00:10:33.211
That's not looking for a new strategy.

00:10:33.211 --> 00:10:38.576
That's searching deeper, digging deeper in yourself to make more of the same strategy.

00:10:38.576 --> 00:10:40.490
We understand the difference there, right?

00:10:40.490 --> 00:10:41.052
Go ahead, joe.

00:10:41.825 --> 00:11:00.793
I was going to say and I want to give James a shout out here, because being vulnerable is actually essential to understanding the basics the reason being is that when your ego gets in the way, you find that you'll always look to blame someone else, but when you're willing to say how am I fucking this up?

00:11:00.793 --> 00:11:02.788
What part of this is me?

00:11:02.788 --> 00:11:14.216
Because clearly I've gone on 10 calls and I've been on all 10 of them, but I've dealt with 10 completely different customers, but the end result has been the same on every one of them.

00:11:14.216 --> 00:11:18.153
I wonder what the common denominator is here.

00:11:18.153 --> 00:11:26.335
People blame the economy, they blame the season, they blame the holiday, but they very rarely blame themselves.

00:11:26.335 --> 00:11:33.597
I came from a place of constant self-loathing which meant that I was already comfortable blaming myself for something.

00:11:33.597 --> 00:11:38.505
It doesn't mean it's nice, but it's true, because I was able to get better because of it.

00:11:38.505 --> 00:11:47.409
Focus on what you yourself can control, and even the slightest lever will create a bigger impact on the calls you go on.

00:11:49.970 --> 00:11:55.570
Here's where we err on the side of the art, of this art of fulfillment, because there's an art to this.

00:11:55.570 --> 00:12:01.177
This is a bit of a dance and we're not just dancing with others in an exchange and trying to close.

00:12:01.177 --> 00:12:07.969
You're dancing with yourself, with your ego, with your mindset, with your 75e hard, your consistency ability.

00:12:07.969 --> 00:12:15.788
Here's what it looks like when someone who's more art than science steps up to the plate and starts seeing trouble.

00:12:15.788 --> 00:12:29.356
This is the person that maybe in high season, realized they are as good as they thought they might be, someone that feels they've got that charismatic step that you can even hear in the bead.

00:12:29.356 --> 00:12:30.359
You know what I mean.

00:12:30.359 --> 00:12:32.211
They just feel like they're on step.

00:12:32.211 --> 00:12:34.392
They've got this natural gift.

00:12:34.392 --> 00:12:46.803
They were born in a light of charisma and just the ability to sweep people off their feet and for lack of a better expression selling ice cream on a hot day.

00:12:46.844 --> 00:12:48.008
We can't all do it right.

00:12:48.008 --> 00:12:58.510
That art-seen-ness, that self-knowing and being so full of yourself is so egotistical that it actually defeats us.

00:12:58.510 --> 00:13:01.312
It defeats the science.

00:13:01.312 --> 00:13:07.115
Without both, you can't really master this process.

00:13:07.115 --> 00:13:09.847
This ability Tables are bigger than that.

00:13:09.847 --> 00:13:11.514
Ever seen that, joe?

00:13:11.514 --> 00:13:12.969
You ever seen someone too art-heavy?

00:13:12.969 --> 00:13:17.192
Maybe not weighing in on the process side and getting consistent?

00:13:18.664 --> 00:13:22.674
I have an analogy for this exact scenario that I think would help give some perspective to it.

00:13:22.674 --> 00:13:28.089
If I were to say you or the customer, who should have the spotlight on them?

00:13:28.089 --> 00:13:35.315
Customer, 100% percent, right, but imagine when your ego takes over.

00:13:35.315 --> 00:13:36.677
What is your ego's say?

00:13:36.677 --> 00:13:37.419
Should have the spotlight?

00:13:37.419 --> 00:13:39.712
You yourself.

00:13:39.712 --> 00:13:43.018
And now can there be two spotlights on one stage?

00:13:44.692 --> 00:13:46.336
No, I believe in this metaphor.

00:13:46.336 --> 00:13:47.379
No, correct.

00:13:47.730 --> 00:13:48.130
So your so.

00:13:48.130 --> 00:13:54.294
And the benefit is is that the more light you cast on your customer, the brighter the customer shines.

00:13:54.294 --> 00:13:56.774
The more light you shine on yourself.

00:13:56.774 --> 00:14:01.495
It takes away from the customer's light and the customer needs to win.

00:14:01.495 --> 00:14:05.096
They need to feel important, they need to have their esteem raised.

00:14:05.096 --> 00:14:11.937
They need to know that you're here to meet their needs, to solve their problem and do it in a way that they can understand and respect.

00:14:11.937 --> 00:14:17.740
When you take away from that, you're actually lowering the value exchange.

00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:30.812
You make yourself feel better, but by not sticking to the process which is I'm here to wholeheartedly serve to the best of my ability, that is where the magic lies.

00:14:32.258 --> 00:14:32.759
I love that.

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:42.201
I love that, man, even speaking through personal experience here more recently, knowing what your goals are, knowing what you want, having it articulated.

00:14:42.201 --> 00:15:05.494
As you know, I've been deep diving on our own information, doing the post call evaluations as part of the 75 E hard challenge, and so I've been fulfilling my obligation to do so too, and through that I've been able to recognize, okay, what archetypes of potential avatars are experiencing, what pain points, what are their desires.

00:15:05.494 --> 00:15:08.818
And when I say archetypes, this might lose some of you.

00:15:08.818 --> 00:15:11.697
So let me bring you up to speed if you're not quite with me on this.

00:15:12.870 --> 00:15:18.894
We offer six options, just like today's Action Wednesday six options secrets, the value piece for giving away.

00:15:18.894 --> 00:15:26.740
You can put your hand up here in the chat with us or anywhere on our group or on our post that you'll see come out this afternoon if you want a copy of that.

00:15:26.740 --> 00:15:32.354
But one of the biggest secrets of the six options really is that you're dealing with the three archetypes.

00:15:32.354 --> 00:15:35.154
Can you tell us a bit about those three archetypes?

00:15:35.154 --> 00:15:36.639
We're serving with six options, joe.

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:37.652
I would love that.

00:15:38.153 --> 00:15:38.315
Okay.

00:15:38.315 --> 00:15:43.900
So we believe that there are three distinct individuals that purchase your services.

00:15:43.900 --> 00:15:56.682
Those that operate in the premium category, which are I'm looking for the finest, or I'm looking for the most term key, or I'm looking to pay you so that I do nothing here.

00:15:56.682 --> 00:16:00.740
They either want the best, they want the most convenience, or they want the most service.

00:16:00.740 --> 00:16:02.696
Those are the premium categories.

00:16:02.696 --> 00:16:12.719
Your mid-range categories are those who are like I don't go cheap, I don't blow my budget, I want good service at a good price.

00:16:12.719 --> 00:16:15.741
I'm willing to invest in better things if they make sense to me.

00:16:15.741 --> 00:16:17.671
There's your mid-range people.

00:16:17.671 --> 00:16:19.410
A lot of us fall in that category.

00:16:20.424 --> 00:16:22.966
Then there's economy, economical buyers.

00:16:22.966 --> 00:16:23.789
There's no shame to them.

00:16:23.789 --> 00:16:28.043
They're the people who want to see the breakdowns.

00:16:28.043 --> 00:16:39.152
They're the people who, even if they don't care about what the prime materials are, they're like I expected this, I budgeted for this, I'm not going to buy more than this.

00:16:39.152 --> 00:16:45.330
Like the kind of person that goes to the grocery store with a list and won't buy anything that's not on that list.

00:16:45.330 --> 00:16:47.009
That's an economy buyer.

00:16:47.009 --> 00:16:50.774
The person that walks into the grocery store and says you know what?

00:16:50.774 --> 00:16:55.249
I don't have a list, but I'm willing to buy more, that's a mid-range buyer.

00:16:55.249 --> 00:16:57.831
The person who walks in and says you know what?

00:16:57.831 --> 00:16:59.596
I'm not even going to go.

00:16:59.596 --> 00:17:01.351
I'm going to pay someone to shop for me.

00:17:01.351 --> 00:17:04.614
If they need to get alternative, there's no problem, I'll pay the dealer fee, go for it.

00:17:04.614 --> 00:17:06.147
I love this.

00:17:06.147 --> 00:17:12.730
All three people are going to the same grocery store and that same grocery store has been customized to serve every one of them.

00:17:13.686 --> 00:17:21.451
They all have a slightly different experience and slightly different pain points and slightly different objections that you'll face.

00:17:21.451 --> 00:17:45.190
When you really collect the data and the science of this and, succeeding with each of those archetypes, you can actually begin to pinpoint exactly where those critical points are in the process of serving them, in the critical points of the offer, and what they're really anticipating, expecting or needing and desiring for their lives and the quality of their lives and safety of their systems.

00:17:45.190 --> 00:17:49.258
Just the same, we're able to extract this and I've been doing that.

00:17:49.258 --> 00:17:56.570
But it comes to this point where it's like, okay, we've got all the information, we've got these data sets, we've got all the science laid out.

00:17:56.570 --> 00:18:02.857
I know exact conversion percent from the first to the second call of a two-call close.

00:18:02.857 --> 00:18:07.395
I know every conversion percent on the demand calls of the varying job types.

00:18:07.395 --> 00:18:16.292
You can have all that laid out, but the art still comes to the fulfillment of that goal that you aim to use this information to achieve.

00:18:17.625 --> 00:18:20.334
I had this epiphany last night and it wasn't alone.

00:18:20.334 --> 00:18:21.588
Our coach had to help me.

00:18:21.588 --> 00:18:24.751
He mentioned the art of fulfillment again.

00:18:24.751 --> 00:18:27.693
He said man, I appreciate all the data you've presented.

00:18:27.693 --> 00:18:28.968
You can have it all.

00:18:28.968 --> 00:18:38.116
All the data in the world, all the data sets, but at the end of the day, it's how you're going to get creative to use that in your process.

00:18:38.116 --> 00:18:41.952
That's this part where we've got to dig a little bit deeper.

00:18:41.952 --> 00:18:50.289
I know that that's speaking to everyone who's in sales in any capacity, because it doesn't always go to the math, does it?

00:18:52.224 --> 00:18:56.208
It's funny how you say that, because I've always believed I trust numbers more than I trust people.

00:18:56.208 --> 00:19:02.548
Because people can embellish things, People can tell things that aren't entirely true, they can make things seem better than they are.

00:19:02.548 --> 00:19:03.530
But numbers?

00:19:03.530 --> 00:19:08.171
God, give me a physics calculation and let me decide how it's going to go.

00:19:08.171 --> 00:19:10.551
I love the numbers.

00:19:10.551 --> 00:19:12.567
So I'm right there with you, brother.

00:19:13.490 --> 00:19:13.972
Exactly.

00:19:13.972 --> 00:19:17.472
Are you okay with me being transparent on the call with one of our numbers?

00:19:17.472 --> 00:19:19.529
I kind of wish you were with that.

00:19:19.704 --> 00:19:19.986
Go for it.

00:19:20.904 --> 00:19:32.535
So on average right now, in the last 60 days, what we came up with is for every 2.2 people that get on the Discovery Code learn more about our program, they also become clients of some capacity.

00:19:32.535 --> 00:19:40.438
It's valuable knowing that because it helps you set a target for how many discovery calls need to book.

00:19:40.438 --> 00:19:45.057
The same would be for you in your sales process and setting up client calls.

00:19:45.057 --> 00:19:48.912
When you know your conversion percentage, it's easy to lay out the goal.

00:19:48.912 --> 00:19:51.971
But now the creative part is okay.

00:19:51.971 --> 00:19:58.317
To drive to this goal, we need to get this many people, and the answer isn't so cut and dry.

00:19:58.317 --> 00:20:18.099
It's a blend of several things and it's a commitment to yourself that in this art, I understand that everything that I want I will either have or I will not have, based on my commitment to following the activity towards that that I want.

00:20:18.099 --> 00:20:24.125
Is there any deeper truth we've ever discussed on this podcast?

00:20:24.125 --> 00:20:27.474
If you want it, you will fucking have it.

00:20:27.474 --> 00:20:30.585
If you don't, you're gonna prove that to yourself.

00:20:30.585 --> 00:20:32.251
It's one or the other.

00:20:33.744 --> 00:20:45.717
I love this and I feel like, honestly, this podcast could be a live session that we throw on, like literally like a live workshop, just on this one topic, because too often we defeat ourselves before we even show up.

00:20:45.717 --> 00:20:50.935
Can I kind of touch on how this mindset could defeat you in a real electrical service?

00:20:50.955 --> 00:20:51.538
call situation.

00:20:52.105 --> 00:20:56.265
Okay, we believe that what we want we can achieve right.

00:20:56.265 --> 00:21:01.085
But often you set what you want too low on certain calls.

00:21:01.085 --> 00:21:14.996
So imagine you're going onto a call and you look at your work order and it says customer is selling home and they have a tripped GFI or they need a GFI replace because that's what the home inspection report said.

00:21:14.996 --> 00:21:21.141
What you want on that type of call is for the customer to not argue.

00:21:21.141 --> 00:21:25.659
Your bottom price for a GFI one placement You're not even thinking about.

00:21:25.659 --> 00:21:26.765
I'm gonna go in there and offer them replacements.

00:21:26.765 --> 00:21:28.765
I'm gonna talk about a redevice.

00:21:28.765 --> 00:21:30.744
I'm gonna look at their main electrical systems.

00:21:30.744 --> 00:21:37.920
Your bar of what you want is so much lower because you've mentally conditioned yourself to assume that's the box.

00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:53.473
I have gone on calls where they say I just need a cover on a junction box and we're selling the home and the home is in contract and had customers take high options and I asked why.

00:21:53.473 --> 00:21:56.244
And they're like well, I didn't want to leave the next person in a shitty situation.

00:21:56.244 --> 00:21:59.244
They were good people out there.

00:21:59.945 --> 00:22:04.714
But because, you don't believe that there's any value in this call.

00:22:04.714 --> 00:22:07.159
Your want is so much low.

00:22:07.159 --> 00:22:17.244
And because you believe that the want is low, the result is equally low, Because you achieve what you want to get, but what you want is too low.

00:22:18.788 --> 00:22:18.970
Man.

00:22:18.970 --> 00:22:20.875
There's some deep truths here in this one.

00:22:20.875 --> 00:22:26.175
I would like to say that I consider myself one of those people, but that's what makes it okay.

00:22:26.175 --> 00:22:30.453
I would never offer something that I wouldn't buy myself.

00:22:30.453 --> 00:22:39.224
The fact that you offered it, the fact that you can find a problem, gives you the credit and the permission to be able to solve it.

00:22:39.224 --> 00:22:45.178
The fact that you would offer a solution gives you permission to sell that solution.

00:22:46.448 --> 00:22:46.709
You know.

00:22:46.709 --> 00:22:49.034
There's actually a little secret that I want to give away here.

00:22:49.034 --> 00:22:52.232
Sure, I am a premium buyer.

00:22:52.232 --> 00:22:57.917
Because I'm a premium buyer, I'm able to think of solutions in a premium buyer's mindset.

00:22:57.917 --> 00:23:07.598
When you find what archetype you are, you'll realize what solutions you've packaged the way you would buy.

00:23:07.598 --> 00:23:20.255
So when you find that you're always selling economy solutions, look inwardly and say am I an economy buyer and am I subconsciously suggesting that this is the choice it should take?

00:23:21.696 --> 00:23:23.039
Wow, we've gone deep here.

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:27.715
That might be the greatest piece of truth that's ever been repeated on this podcast.

00:23:27.715 --> 00:23:32.773
Wouldn't be the first time, and would it be wrong of us to start there for an action item today, joe.

00:23:33.095 --> 00:23:34.037
I can't wait, let's do it.

00:23:34.758 --> 00:23:34.978
Okay.

00:23:34.978 --> 00:23:38.914
So I just want to repeat what you said, or give you credit for that first one.

00:23:38.914 --> 00:23:44.244
If you truly want to offer premium service, you should try buying it sometime.

00:23:44.244 --> 00:23:49.917
You might learn something about that service, that of which you're trying to provide.

00:23:49.917 --> 00:23:53.009
Wouldn't that be useful to see it demonstrated?

00:23:53.009 --> 00:24:01.934
Pay attention, take notes, be able to have feedback, comment, get their opinions, even the service provider, ask them how they feel about serving at that level.

00:24:01.934 --> 00:24:09.224
There's so much information in that, if you continue to buy at the bottom level, what experience are you going to get?

00:24:10.166 --> 00:24:15.698
You're going to constantly get exposed to bad service and, as a result, you're going to keep thinking that that's the standard.

00:24:16.567 --> 00:24:18.244
Yikes, Sounds dangerous.

00:24:18.244 --> 00:24:22.224
Now, I kind of trampled over that and gave an awesome action as just a base.

00:24:22.224 --> 00:24:24.134
Do you have an All-Star in mind?

00:24:24.134 --> 00:24:25.339
Are we coming up with another one Now?

00:24:25.339 --> 00:24:25.421
We?

00:24:25.843 --> 00:24:26.244
can go with it.

00:24:26.244 --> 00:24:32.717
One of the things that I want to go into is you suggested that you should buy the service.

00:24:32.717 --> 00:24:36.613
The All-Star is understanding why you should buy the service.

00:24:36.613 --> 00:24:42.436
A lot of us won't make that purchase because we think it's a frivolous purchase.

00:24:42.436 --> 00:24:48.894
We look at it like oh, I don't need all the bells and whistles, I don't need all the levels of service, I don't need these things.

00:24:48.894 --> 00:24:51.894
As a result, I'm going to go to the mid-range or I'm going to go to the economy.

00:24:52.865 --> 00:25:08.244
The All-Star action is saying that you can actually write this off as a personal development investment, because your goal as a premium service provider is to understand what your customer feels like when they make that premium purchase.

00:25:08.244 --> 00:25:12.789
But how could you possibly convey something that you've never experienced?

00:25:12.789 --> 00:25:14.334
It wouldn't be possible.

00:25:14.334 --> 00:25:24.479
So if you ever feel like I don't want to make that purchase because I think it's frivolous, change your perspective of I'm going to swipe this card.

00:25:24.479 --> 00:25:32.019
I know this is more than I normally buy, but I'm doing so with the thought of I'm going to write this off because this is a personal development.

00:25:33.032 --> 00:25:33.715
I love that man.

00:25:33.715 --> 00:25:35.598
Great tidbits there.

00:25:35.598 --> 00:25:38.154
Oh my gosh, this has been a huge episode.

00:25:38.154 --> 00:25:44.655
Again, I feel the need to stack a second all star action just because we didn't even speak to the title of this thing.

00:25:44.655 --> 00:25:45.634
Go for it, guys.

00:25:45.634 --> 00:26:01.594
Let me just say this you can take action if you don't have the science of this figured out, if you don't have the data and you're thinking, maybe salivating a bit holy cow, I could be making real decisions based on how the people in my pipeline have already responded, reacted, given objections.

00:26:01.594 --> 00:26:08.257
All of the above Get creative, take advantage of the art, find some data and just start now.

00:26:08.257 --> 00:26:17.978
Just start there, just start putting this formula together and setting some goals and tracking your KPI, because if you can measure it, you can manage it.

00:26:17.978 --> 00:26:21.674
That actually happens naturally, it happens organically.

00:26:21.674 --> 00:26:24.497
If you measure every day, wouldn't you be insane to look the other way?

00:26:26.450 --> 00:26:44.792
It's funny that you say that, because people do look the other way and it's such a shame, because it's one thing to not have the data and then say, oh, I'm not going to take action on it, compared to I have exact knowledge of what I'm supposed to do and I'm willfully looking the other way.

00:26:46.490 --> 00:26:50.397
Here's the data point for you 26 minutes and 50 seconds.

00:26:50.397 --> 00:26:53.459
We have trouble keeping these at 20 minutes or less.

00:26:53.459 --> 00:27:01.176
