I said free twice there for some reason, but welcome to the admission.

00:00:45.215 --> 00:00:46.098
Twice is actually nice.

00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.363

Get all the value pieces that we offer here today.

00:01:08.131 --> 00:01:11.320
In fact, we've got some great stuff to offer, joseph.

00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:12.986
How the hell are you, my friend?

00:01:13.748 --> 00:01:14.710
I'm feeling a lot better.

00:01:14.710 --> 00:01:21.947
It's one of those things where I've been pretty rough the past few days, mentally and emotionally, but it's starting to really start to click together.

00:01:21.947 --> 00:01:25.689
My faith has been a phenomenal thing to guide me back in.

00:01:25.689 --> 00:01:26.823
My wife has been wonderful.

00:01:26.823 --> 00:01:27.802
We've been wonderful.

00:01:27.802 --> 00:01:34.763
I'm very grateful to be where I am and I'm grateful that I can continue blessing others through the knowledge we have.

00:01:35.465 --> 00:01:37.590
Appreciate it, man Are we in the same way.

00:01:38.302 --> 00:01:39.186
Yeah, I feel in the same way.

00:01:39.186 --> 00:01:40.082
It's a big movement.

00:01:40.082 --> 00:01:43.790
We're finishing up and closing out January already.

00:01:43.790 --> 00:01:46.268
I can't believe we're going into month two of 2024.

00:01:46.268 --> 00:01:50.549
I feel like I'm still writing and typing 2023 on half of the shit I do.

00:01:50.549 --> 00:01:56.210
We're going to get that fixed, but not before jumping into some objections here today.

00:01:56.210 --> 00:01:59.608
Excuse me, I just about choked on this mic.

00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:08.871
The last two episodes we've been talking about converting at a premium level presentation success, especially with the partners dealing with some anxiety.

00:02:08.871 --> 00:02:10.626
I'm still choking, partly, forgive me.

00:02:10.626 --> 00:02:20.570
Today we're following this up, but what we just talked through really was what we call a two-call close, which is something that we utilize on opportunity calls.

00:02:20.570 --> 00:02:24.657
I know for one, we're already going to see some objections out there.

00:02:24.657 --> 00:02:27.425
People listening thinking why the hell would you go back again?

00:02:27.425 --> 00:02:32.109
There's some really good feedback that I want to encourage from you.

00:02:32.109 --> 00:02:36.133
Then even go into a pre-objection to that process.

00:02:36.133 --> 00:02:41.829
If we could with a client or maybe they don't want you to do a second visit and presentation live.

00:02:41.829 --> 00:02:42.872
That sounds fair.

00:02:42.872 --> 00:02:45.926
First question why the hell would we go back?

00:02:45.926 --> 00:02:51.683
By the way, not charging for this, we do this free.

00:02:52.447 --> 00:03:01.286
Yeah, this is actually a massive benefit to the customer, but it's also significantly more effective and efficient for us.

00:03:01.286 --> 00:03:06.550
If you follow the logistics of things, think about how much it costs to acquire the lead.

00:03:06.550 --> 00:03:13.887
You literally had to say the lead had to come in, you had to pay for it, your CSR had to answer for it, you had to dispatch ever and go out there.

00:03:13.887 --> 00:03:18.090
Right now your costs are already sank in this particular investment.

00:03:18.090 --> 00:03:22.508
The only way you actually get a return on your investment is if they buy.

00:03:22.508 --> 00:03:32.006
Would it make sense that the best way to recoup the previous investments is to capitalize as much as possible on the call you're already on?

00:03:33.401 --> 00:03:34.144
I agree with you.

00:03:34.144 --> 00:03:39.692
I know there's a pool of people out there that are thinking well, I'll just qualify them over the phone.

00:03:39.692 --> 00:03:41.807
We've spoken to this in the podcast before.

00:03:41.807 --> 00:03:46.247
I'll qualify them using price over the phone, Then I'll get to know if they're a serious buyer or not.

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.169
That's the thing is that people think you can call over the phone, and I'm guilty of it as well.

00:03:51.169 --> 00:03:51.890
I used to do that.

00:03:51.890 --> 00:03:57.229
The concern is that the only real metrics of qualification is price.

00:03:57.229 --> 00:04:05.620
There are times that I've gone into homes where people I'm like there's no way they got $500 and they're putting $35,000 down.

00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:14.188
One of my favorite calls where I was called out for two GFIs and if I had price conditioned it it would have been like well, listen, how much it cost to change two of GFIs?

00:04:14.188 --> 00:04:24.687
I don't know how much it costs $500, but we ended up doing once again another high $30,000 job where it ended up being a rewire and most of the Tesla installations.

00:04:24.687 --> 00:04:26.331
You don't know.

00:04:26.331 --> 00:04:28.927
You don't know what opportunities are there.

00:04:28.927 --> 00:04:40.709
The only thing you're qualifying is your preconceived notions of who can buy your services, not who can, who you think can buy your services.

00:04:40.709 --> 00:04:42.204
That's an extremely limiting thought.

00:04:42.204 --> 00:04:43.644
That's a problem for sure.

00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:50.291
I've been known people have seen us say this online go ahead and pre-qualify with prices.

00:04:50.291 --> 00:05:00.612
Our electric printers are going to follow that up and close 80% of those with one of the six options that they're offering, from the finest money could buy to that most economical that they could provide.

00:05:00.612 --> 00:05:15.911
If you're providing that choice for everyone, what are the chances that 80% are going to convert, even in those situations where someone else disqualified In fact, the $35,000 example you mentioned likely was disqualified by someone else.

00:05:16.661 --> 00:05:17.505
It very likely was.

00:05:17.505 --> 00:05:21.531
In fact, they actually told me that they had someone else that wanted to come out and do jobs for them.

00:05:21.531 --> 00:05:37.295
It was one of the only female electricians I knew in my area but from what I understand, she was supposed to go and quote on this, but it was too small of a job and said give me a call when you've got other things going on and I'll take care of it all at once Wasn't over.

00:05:37.295 --> 00:05:44.699
Instead they called someone else and I came in and we were changing panels and we were putting in new lighting and we were adding a new circuit.

00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:49.531
It was a great job with long lifetime, continuous work with them.

00:05:49.531 --> 00:05:52.706
I'd say we easily got the six figures with them over time.

00:05:52.706 --> 00:05:59.069
The fact was is that those two GFIs that would have been disqualified actually qualified me in.

00:05:59.069 --> 00:06:03.129
Now there's one last thing, and I know we're speed running this thing.

00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:06.005
The other day we talked about an endurance race.

00:06:06.005 --> 00:06:13.464
Right Now, when you're getting ready to run long distance, you know that you've got to keep a pace and you've got to keep going.

00:06:13.464 --> 00:06:23.048
But when you're on that final lap and you're towards the finish line gas is out of the tank you're going Like I'm just like everything I've got, I'm sprinting out to this finish line.

00:06:23.048 --> 00:06:26.706
When would it be best to get into a sprint?

00:06:26.706 --> 00:06:31.947
When you're able to take a step back and rest, or after running two, three miles already?

00:06:31.947 --> 00:06:36.124
It's when you get that breast right.

00:06:36.124 --> 00:06:37.869
Yeah, you're going to be more effective.

00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:39.906
So two factors are being considered.

00:06:39.906 --> 00:06:47.026
One you're probably doing a diagnostic or an opportunity call, meaning you've been there for about an hour to an hour and a half.

00:06:47.026 --> 00:06:49.766
You've bonded, you've connected, you've evaluated.

00:06:49.766 --> 00:06:55.108
Now you're going to have to design the solutions, which for some people can take as much as 30 minutes.

00:06:55.108 --> 00:06:56.211
So now you're two hours in.

00:06:56.211 --> 00:06:59.942
Then you're going to go to a presentation the presentation.

00:06:59.942 --> 00:07:02.790
In some situations, if you really want to stretch, it could be an hour and a half.

00:07:02.790 --> 00:07:06.267
So now you're in this customer's home for four hours.

00:07:06.267 --> 00:07:09.925
What are the odds that they've got the attention span for four hours?

00:07:10.908 --> 00:07:11.449
Not likely.

00:07:12.151 --> 00:07:12.572
Not likely.

00:07:12.572 --> 00:07:21.464
So you taking a step back actually benefits them because they're able to prevent information overload Like huh man.

00:07:21.464 --> 00:07:22.608
Josie is like a really nice guy.

00:07:22.608 --> 00:07:24.045
I wonder what he was saying.

00:07:24.045 --> 00:07:26.065
He made some weird noises when he was looking at the panel.

00:07:26.065 --> 00:07:30.464
Whatever, we'll talk to him when he gets back to it and then, coming back, the lights flicker.

00:07:31.221 --> 00:07:32.987
I can't wait to figure out what he said when he's coming back.

00:07:32.987 --> 00:07:37.029
And now I show back and I'm going through all the pre-politication questions.

00:07:37.029 --> 00:07:38.543
Has anything changed?

00:07:38.543 --> 00:07:41.988
What new is exciting Talking to your spouse.

00:07:41.988 --> 00:07:43.579
Has anything changed here?

00:07:43.579 --> 00:07:44.745
Are our needs the same?

00:07:44.745 --> 00:07:47.468
So now I have two fresh people.

00:07:47.468 --> 00:07:48.843
I'm fresh.

00:07:48.843 --> 00:07:51.386
My presentation has been mentally rehearsed.

00:07:51.386 --> 00:07:53.091
I was an anal person.

00:07:53.091 --> 00:07:54.906
I rehearsed every presentation before I did them.

00:07:54.906 --> 00:07:59.408
And then now I'm in presentation with someone with fresh ears.

00:07:59.408 --> 00:08:09.586
I am far more likely to get that call, because the right presentation to the right people at the right time equals a sale.

00:08:10.348 --> 00:08:10.589
Nice.

00:08:10.939 --> 00:08:17.007
So even if I had all the information right and I was doing a one-legged call, it would make sense that they'd say email it over.

00:08:17.007 --> 00:08:20.807
But in this situation we can handle the email it over.

00:08:21.730 --> 00:08:26.410
Yeah, I like to look at this like I'm trying to get to the value price objection.

00:08:26.410 --> 00:08:32.951
Yes To me, when I get that on a call, I'm like, hey, we're in the right place because I am at a premium.

00:08:32.951 --> 00:08:45.546
It means they're really considering us and everything that we have to offer here, and it likely means that what they want is above the budget that they had set expectations around and that's the perfect place to be.

00:08:45.546 --> 00:08:54.961
In fact, I would encourage everyone to get comfortable in that place, because, as a premium service provider, we should just assume we're going to meet that place many times every week.

00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:57.807
If you got great at that, what would stop you then?

00:08:57.807 --> 00:08:59.605
And that's what we're talking about today.

00:08:59.605 --> 00:09:18.270
So let me back up a moment and ask you this then For the clients that simply just want a piece of paper with a number on it so they can make their own decision without you, that was the expectation they have and they really don't want to oblige a second visit in person anyway.

00:09:18.270 --> 00:09:19.894
What do you say to them, joe?

00:09:19.894 --> 00:09:22.648
That's sort of pre-objection to your process in the first place.

00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:24.884
So it depends on their reasoning.

00:09:25.460 --> 00:09:43.210
If they were to say well, I am someone who's completely out of state and I am a doctor who works multiple 12-hour shifts and I'm always on call and there are considerations we can make, such as I'm going to have an in-person with one and I'm going to have a phone with another, or I'm going to have a Zoom presentation with both people, those are options to consider.

00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:50.878
But at the same time, if someone's truly so busy, do they want the thing or do they not want the thing?

00:09:50.878 --> 00:09:53.437
You called me for a service that you're going to provide.

00:09:53.437 --> 00:10:07.076
Is it wrong of me to want to make sure that I can be sure you're here so that, if you have any questions, I can walk you through exactly what I'm seeing, how I'm seeing it, and describe it in ways that you'll understand?

00:10:07.076 --> 00:10:12.279
Otherwise, I give you a piece of paper with all my engineering notes.

00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:21.017
You, as a doctor, now need to translate and become an electrician, or get outside help, or follow up with me again for clarification.

00:10:21.017 --> 00:10:25.393
For the sake of all of our times, would it be wrong of me to want to make sure we're doing it all together?

00:10:26.532 --> 00:10:33.601
No, not wrong of you, Joe, I just we do have a busy schedule and we really didn't expect to have to have another visit with you.

00:10:34.552 --> 00:10:35.394
I completely understand.

00:10:35.394 --> 00:10:45.356
So if you don't want me asking, no matter what I was going to offer you today, is it safe to say, like we were just looking into this, there was no checks out, we weren't looking to do this today, right?

00:10:45.576 --> 00:10:45.957
That's right.

00:10:46.538 --> 00:10:47.181
All right, perfect.

00:10:47.181 --> 00:11:01.072
Well, that actually works out perfect, because my goal is to make sure I'm giving you the best pricing possible, and it's going to be anywhere from an hour and a half for me to sit down and do these designs, and the last thing everyone would do is just expect your time just sitting there watching me work.

00:11:01.072 --> 00:11:05.177
Is it wrong of me to want to get this together and then physically explain it to you?

00:11:06.580 --> 00:11:07.142
Not wrong of you.

00:11:07.142 --> 00:11:08.633
What do you say, though?

00:11:08.633 --> 00:11:10.778
Could you just get it together and send it over?

00:11:11.970 --> 00:11:16.475
That would definitely make my job so much easier, and I appreciate you even voicing that.

00:11:16.475 --> 00:11:17.932
But can I ask you a question?

00:11:17.932 --> 00:11:28.677
Sure, if we're going by email and I'm sending six engineered documents over, is it going to be the easiest thing to follow, or do you think it's possible that there's going to be some questions that come up with it?

00:11:29.811 --> 00:11:32.677
No, could be some questions also, more than I expected.

00:11:33.520 --> 00:11:34.250
Yeah, it's a.

00:11:34.250 --> 00:11:42.158
Most times people email a choice over it's because it's one choice and it's already broken down to such an extent that you can see every wire, screw and switch.

00:11:42.158 --> 00:11:46.379
What we do is we focus more on the emotional experience you're going to get from this.

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:57.697
So I've designed choices from truly the most Rolls Royce way of getting it done finest, turnkey, professional and permanent, all the way down to the outside, which this is the most unpermitted.

00:11:57.697 --> 00:11:58.941
Look the other way.

00:11:58.941 --> 00:12:04.817
It's basic and barely minimum standard, but you would at least understand what you're getting for it.

00:12:05.690 --> 00:12:08.759
The reason why we want to come back is so that you have that understanding.

00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.937
Additionally, there's only three outcomes to this call.

00:12:11.937 --> 00:12:22.379
Either a, you love what I have and you're in a position that we don't have to waste more of your time having to come back to do our pictures, deposits and paperwork.

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:35.298
Two, you'd have questions I'm we're talking about, which is great because I'm in person, right in front of your system, to ask them, answer them, or see, I'm just not the right fit for what you're looking for.

00:12:35.298 --> 00:12:40.860
And if I'm not the right fit, then you can simply cancel this appointment and we'll give it to someone who really needs it or wants it.

00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:47.317
So, once again, when could you like me to set a tentative appointment to come back to discuss this with you and Marial?

00:12:48.505 --> 00:12:49.649
Okay, man, sounds fair.

00:12:49.649 --> 00:12:51.995
Do you have any times at XYZ?

00:12:51.995 --> 00:12:55.999
We're gonna pull out a role play on that one, just because the time.

00:12:55.999 --> 00:12:57.504
But also that fed right into.

00:12:57.504 --> 00:13:02.576
I noticed a email objection handle that we're gonna tie into here in a moment anyways.

00:13:02.576 --> 00:13:10.184
So everything you did and what we got to seemed like Did we get to a little poll there actually at the end?

00:13:11.349 --> 00:13:11.909
So there was.

00:13:11.909 --> 00:13:15.221
It was because it was along the lines of like, I'd love to stay and help you.

00:13:15.221 --> 00:13:33.437
If this is not something You're interested in, then now we can gladly part as friends and I'll give that appointment to someone who really needs it or wants it, right so it's a thought of saying like I have other people who could use and want my time, mmm, and if you're not interested in that, I won't have any feelings.

00:13:33.804 --> 00:13:41.416
Part as friends and I'll just serve someone who really needs that and that serves us too, because now we're not going to fight for an appointment that doesn't belong.

00:13:41.416 --> 00:13:42.620
So that poll.

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:43.904
That's why I brought attention to that.

00:13:43.904 --> 00:13:50.924
It seems it feels very important to make sure that again, they have a voluntary commitment to say, no, look, you're still in the right place.

00:13:50.924 --> 00:13:51.768
Let's do this.

00:13:51.768 --> 00:13:54.557
I'm interested, exactly, love that man.

00:13:54.557 --> 00:13:56.825
Okay, so let's say we got through that.

00:13:56.825 --> 00:13:59.534
We got to the second call, or present to the partners.

00:13:59.534 --> 00:14:06.125
There's a few concerns, and these ones are really common and and some people get it right Some people hit it over the park once in a while.

00:14:06.125 --> 00:14:08.336
Many people struggle with these.

00:14:08.336 --> 00:14:09.341
First couple, though.

00:14:09.341 --> 00:14:11.489
The first one, let's just get it out of the way.

00:14:11.489 --> 00:14:12.491
The email it over.

00:14:12.491 --> 00:14:16.153
We just discussed some of that, joe, love that you came back.

00:14:16.153 --> 00:14:18.389
Presentations wonderful man.

00:14:18.389 --> 00:14:21.255
Listen, we're gonna need some time to think about this.

00:14:21.255 --> 00:14:26.802
Still, do you think you could just email a copy of this over and we could discuss that and get back to you?

00:14:27.547 --> 00:14:29.631
I'd be happy to help you with that, so play.

00:14:29.631 --> 00:14:31.456
Which of these options are you looking to have you know more.

00:14:32.508 --> 00:14:34.264
Well, I was really hoping I could just get all of them.

00:14:35.327 --> 00:14:37.953
Okay, and that's definitely something to be taken into consideration.

00:14:37.953 --> 00:14:38.975
But can I ask you a question?

00:14:38.975 --> 00:14:41.413
Sure, we design choices.

00:14:41.413 --> 00:14:43.445
I'm a little confused here, so please help me out.

00:14:43.445 --> 00:15:00.070
Okay, we design choices from like literally the absolute most finest we can do, like we're talking about a full-gut rewire renovation, serious ticket on that, all the way to the bottom end of the spectrum of finding the old ULS did breaker and swapping it out, even though we know it's probably not the best thing to do.

00:15:00.070 --> 00:15:05.998
Do you mean to tell me that every single one of these levels is equally considered at this point?

00:15:07.765 --> 00:15:09.130
Well, no, you got me there, man.

00:15:09.130 --> 00:15:12.865
I think the bottom is definitely, you know, not enough.

00:15:12.865 --> 00:15:15.355
I don't think we even feel safe with that.

00:15:15.355 --> 00:15:17.325
We want something more.

00:15:17.325 --> 00:15:25.419
We're just kind of in the middle on where that is and I think it's fair to say, you know, the top is is more than we want to spend, for sure, okay.

00:15:25.682 --> 00:15:26.384
So how do we do this?

00:15:26.384 --> 00:15:32.188
Let's start eliminating, but you mentioned the bottom wasn't the right fit, so let's get rid of that one and also the top one.

00:15:32.188 --> 00:15:34.876
Is it safe to say it's too much of a premium investment at this time?

00:15:35.527 --> 00:15:39.350
Yeah, we really didn't expect to spend $16,000 today.

00:15:39.855 --> 00:15:40.256
No worries.

00:15:40.256 --> 00:15:40.721
Well at this.

00:15:40.721 --> 00:15:44.038
Remember earlier I said you probably weren't gonna like that anyway because it was gonna cost.

00:15:44.038 --> 00:15:45.485
So you're not hurting my feelings.

00:15:45.485 --> 00:15:46.708
Let's get rid of that one too.

00:15:46.708 --> 00:15:53.716
Now there were four options when it comes to taking care of things, when it comes to quality, reliability or safety, your home and family.

00:15:53.716 --> 00:15:57.076
Do you usually do things more premium, or mid-range, or more economy?

00:15:58.508 --> 00:15:59.653
I'm you know what, joe.

00:15:59.653 --> 00:16:01.845
I hate to say it, but I'm a deal shopper.

00:16:01.845 --> 00:16:07.979
I love to see where the value is for the price point, and that's usually where I put my bets.

00:16:08.806 --> 00:16:11.335
Okay, so, based on these, where do you feel the most value is?

00:16:12.905 --> 00:16:17.514
It's really between, probably, bronze and gold, so somewhere in those three options.

00:16:18.155 --> 00:16:19.418
Okay so we're doing bronze and gold.

00:16:19.418 --> 00:16:20.916
Okay, so let's take a look at that.

00:16:20.916 --> 00:16:22.085
Let's dig into that a little bit further.

00:16:22.085 --> 00:16:23.788
What was it you liked about gold?

00:16:24.850 --> 00:16:27.977
and of course we don't have a specific situation here, but x?

00:16:27.977 --> 00:16:29.947
Yz Really enjoyed that.

00:16:29.947 --> 00:16:39.035
Again, the price is a little more than than what we expected to pay, but I can see why you put it there and I appreciate how you presented it.

00:16:39.745 --> 00:16:42.895
Yeah, well, if the price is more than what you're considering, why don't we remove that option too?

00:16:43.765 --> 00:16:47.437
It's just that we do like the Z factor there.

00:16:48.287 --> 00:16:48.589
Okay.

00:16:48.589 --> 00:16:50.077
So why do you like that so much?

00:16:50.077 --> 00:16:51.024
Why not consider going down?

00:16:51.706 --> 00:16:56.144
It seems important both to our safety, but also that just the convenience of using the system.

00:16:56.144 --> 00:16:57.647
I Agree.

00:16:57.746 --> 00:17:01.339
And additionally, it also still has the electronic safety system that protects everything.

00:17:01.339 --> 00:17:04.269
So, with all that being concerned, I would like to proceed.

00:17:07.041 --> 00:17:09.249
I guess we're kind of between silver and gold, aren't we?

00:17:10.429 --> 00:17:11.357
Well, it's only you can decide.

00:17:11.357 --> 00:17:12.970
That Is that where you feel like you're at.

00:17:12.970 --> 00:17:15.953
I do, I do Okay, so let me help you through this.

00:17:15.953 --> 00:17:23.307
So is it really that we're not sure which of these we're doing, or we're not sure if we're doing any of these?

00:17:25.667 --> 00:17:27.519
No, I think we definitely want to go with you, Joe.

00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:33.519
We were hoping that we'd have a bit of time with these options to really talk through that.

00:17:34.611 --> 00:17:35.519
That makes complete sense.

00:17:35.780 --> 00:17:37.826
And I have a way that I think it can help you without any pressure.

00:17:37.826 --> 00:17:41.146
Okay, so we're torn between the gold and the silver.

00:17:41.146 --> 00:17:45.411
My recommendation is going to sound opposite to someone who does any sales.

00:17:45.411 --> 00:17:48.209
If that I'm going to recommend we go with a more economical package.

00:17:48.209 --> 00:17:50.887
What we can do is we can start with the silver.

00:17:50.887 --> 00:17:59.346
The reason being is I can start the permitting, I can start ordering the materials that's necessary, coordinating with the additional contractors, pulling in utility contacts.

00:17:59.346 --> 00:18:04.448
At the same time, you'll have two weeks to decide whether you want to upgrade to the next level up.

00:18:04.448 --> 00:18:16.189
But you'd know you'd have a date on the calendar, you know that all the material and everything would be set into place and the ball's in motion and then, if you choose to upgrade, I'll give you a call week in advance and we can take it from there.

00:18:16.189 --> 00:18:18.519
So, that being said, how would you like to proceed?

00:18:19.301 --> 00:18:22.308
Well, man really accommodating, I like that Appreciate you.

00:18:23.251 --> 00:18:23.471
Okay.

00:18:23.980 --> 00:18:24.943
But how would you like to proceed?

00:18:24.943 --> 00:18:26.487
Let's go with silver.

00:18:27.470 --> 00:18:28.372
All right, awesome.

00:18:28.372 --> 00:18:30.307
Now there are some cheaper options.

00:18:30.307 --> 00:18:31.904
There were more economical options at the bottom.

00:18:31.904 --> 00:18:34.026
I think we'll get those.

00:18:35.567 --> 00:18:37.358
Are you sure you don't want to rule those out?

00:18:37.358 --> 00:18:39.519
Yeah, I mean, we did kind of cross the bottom one out.

00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.442
We didn't really revisit bronze, but again, some of the features are gold there.

00:18:42.442 --> 00:18:43.326
We just couldn't ignore.

00:18:43.326 --> 00:18:47.527
So I think I like where we ended up between silver and gold.

00:18:48.368 --> 00:18:49.150
Okay, Wonderful.

00:18:49.150 --> 00:18:56.439
So we'll start with the silver and then the benefit is is that I'm also going to put this on the calendar that we're going to talk about an upgrade option.

00:18:56.439 --> 00:18:58.775
If you choose to keep where you're, at no worries.

00:18:58.775 --> 00:19:01.646
If you choose to upgrade, it's only the difference between the two of them.

00:19:01.666 --> 00:19:02.148
Love it, man.

00:19:02.148 --> 00:19:02.770
Thank you.

00:19:03.733 --> 00:19:04.075
I played it.

00:19:04.075 --> 00:19:05.057
That's a nice role play.

00:19:05.721 --> 00:19:12.172
I'm going to jump out of this for a moment and I forget that there's like dual levels because we're role playing on a podcast.

00:19:12.172 --> 00:19:16.909
But I want to talk about the feeling I had and what you did for a moment.

00:19:16.909 --> 00:19:18.992
If that's all right, sure, go for it.

00:19:18.992 --> 00:19:36.130
I had a feeling several times that we were done or ready to be done in that role play and I admire how you kept going and making sure it was a full voluntary commitment and that I was making the decision without being pushy.

00:19:36.963 --> 00:19:38.500
If that makes sense.

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:46.353
That's the 100% goal of what we do and I thank you so much for picking up on it, because all of us hate salespeople.

00:19:46.353 --> 00:20:01.112
We love good salespeople, but the industry standard is that you're some slimy dude flipping a nickel trying to move deals, and if we're going to do it this way, it has to be something that benefits them and that they choose it.

00:20:01.112 --> 00:20:03.846
So there's no buyers, or more than there's no bad reviews.

00:20:05.619 --> 00:20:06.704
Yeah, really good man.

00:20:06.704 --> 00:20:13.048
So we got just enough time to cover another big one and that was the pricing and it's what we led into earlier.

00:20:13.048 --> 00:20:15.537
Nice, value price objection, as we call it.

00:20:15.537 --> 00:20:16.519
There's a value piece on this guy.

00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:25.634
So if you want to comment the value price objection anywhere on this live, you can send that to us in the contact sheet on our website, serviceloopelectricalcom.

00:20:25.634 --> 00:20:28.441
Price going to be similar this time.

00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:36.491
I'm going to take the most basic option and I'm going to have a problem with that one hour charge.

00:20:36.491 --> 00:20:39.155
Sure, let's go for it, okay.

00:20:39.155 --> 00:20:44.432
So, joe, everything is definitely more than we had imagined.

00:20:44.432 --> 00:20:46.271
I appreciate the options and everything.

00:20:46.271 --> 00:20:47.519
Man, it's a lot of effort.

00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:57.519
You came back, you did this whole thing, but you know, honestly, and I guess if for one hour sorry I messed that up this is going to be probably a demand call, really if it's an hour.

00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.006
So I appreciate that you spent the time.

00:21:00.006 --> 00:21:02.392
You made the options, you stuck here with me through this.

00:21:02.392 --> 00:21:09.434
I mean, we spent, you know, this hour plus together, but this really feels more than I expected here today.

00:21:09.434 --> 00:21:09.675
Joe.

00:21:10.577 --> 00:21:15.519
And you know what, clay, I completely understand where you're coming from, because that's something that we hear every now and then.

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:23.134
Being a premium service provider, it comes hand in hand with knowing that you're not going to charge the same as like a handyman or as a semi pro.

00:21:23.134 --> 00:21:30.553
That being said, would you like to know why so many of our customers still choose to use us, even though they know we're more?

00:21:32.261 --> 00:21:33.085
Yes, I do.

00:21:34.048 --> 00:21:46.391
Okay, then from there we would lead in any specific thing that makes us different, whether it's we always offer the lifetime craftsmanship guarantee, meaning we always provide a fully turnkey experience.

00:21:46.391 --> 00:21:56.480
Meaning that we always offer the finance ability of everything we do, meaning you're always having a licensed electrician in your home who is personally background checked and drug tested and all that.

00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:03.446
It could be anything that makes you it could be you serve the church on the weekends, it doesn't matter the thing that makes you unique.

00:22:03.446 --> 00:22:08.519
You bring to the customer's attention because you're not selling the service.

00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:12.840
It's not $300 for the outlet change and not getting it's.

00:22:12.840 --> 00:22:15.869
Why are you worth $300?

00:22:17.082 --> 00:22:19.387
That's the shift that needs to happen.

00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:25.912
Additionally, when we talk about the concern there is, there's even a bottom way out of it.

00:22:25.912 --> 00:22:32.853
So let's say, our bare minimum charge, with our one hourly minimum, is $389 for our GFI change out.

00:22:32.853 --> 00:22:36.503
Yeah, a lot of people might be like that, not going to get that.

00:22:36.503 --> 00:22:39.727
In my area, we have a failsafe for that as well.

00:22:39.727 --> 00:22:45.566
The failsafe is the first class membership, because what someone would say is you know what?

00:22:45.566 --> 00:22:46.628
I want this done.

00:22:46.628 --> 00:22:47.451
I want to work with you guys.

00:22:47.451 --> 00:22:49.507
You seem great, but this just seems more than what I can swing.

00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:53.780
Well, clay, I completely understand where you're coming from, and I do.

00:22:53.780 --> 00:22:54.182
Normally.

00:22:54.182 --> 00:22:59.500
This is where we would be parting his friends, but I do really feel that there's one other area that I can help you with.

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:02.123
Can I take two more minutes and explain how I think I can help?

00:23:02.123 --> 00:23:13.613
Sure, what we do is we actually offer an in-house club membership where you get multiple benefits just by having us do small projects for you.

00:23:13.613 --> 00:23:17.114
What that sounds like is you'd get priorities down us.

00:23:17.114 --> 00:23:19.050
You call me for anything, right to the front of the line.

00:23:19.050 --> 00:23:24.710
You have after hours emergency service, meaning that if anything happens after hours, we take care of you as well.

00:23:25.805 --> 00:23:32.769
Diagnostics, no matter what they involve are completely covered for an entire year, meaning like the thing that we did today where we were looking at this.

00:23:32.769 --> 00:23:35.171
This would have been no charge for us to come out.

00:23:35.171 --> 00:23:52.546
Additionally, we do a total home electrical safety evaluation, where we give you a clean bill of health, as if we were a doctor evaluating your electrical system, and we'll let you know what would likely happen within the next five to 10 years, so you can retroactively take control over Now.

00:23:52.546 --> 00:23:53.509
How that benefits you.

00:23:53.509 --> 00:24:09.332
Here is remember we say that diagnostics are included, so what we do is we sign you up for our club membership, and this call would then be waived, and I'd be happy to take care of that while I'm here as a bonus of being in our membership.

00:24:09.332 --> 00:24:20.190
The membership itself is only 412, a little bit more than what you were thinking, but at the same time, gets it done and also gives you countless other benefits you can take advantage of over the year.

00:24:20.190 --> 00:24:22.470
So, with that being said, how would you like to proceed?

00:24:23.565 --> 00:24:24.569
Yeah, it's a really nice touch.

00:24:24.569 --> 00:24:29.313
I love how, instead of discounting price or even arguing with yourself or others about price.

00:24:29.805 --> 00:24:36.010
you added value and, in fact, increased the investment to your business, which the value is fine.

00:24:36.010 --> 00:24:40.717
I mean, it reminds me of the Starbucks app, right?

00:24:40.717 --> 00:24:42.491
How many people use the Starbucks app?

00:24:42.491 --> 00:24:49.194
And then how many people actually take their good, hard-earned money and put money into their Starbucks wallet?

00:24:49.194 --> 00:24:56.555
You realize that Starbucks floating a billion dollar interest-free loan from all of their patrons worldwide.

00:24:56.555 --> 00:25:08.491
And that's the kind of thing a club membership does, because what you're gonna do in that annual inspection is come back and find more and offer again and create more business again.

00:25:08.491 --> 00:25:11.332
So I really liked the way you handled that.

00:25:11.332 --> 00:25:17.691
This one's getting a bit long, so why don't we crank out a couple of action items quick for people and sign off of this?

00:25:17.691 --> 00:25:18.974
I'd be happy to.

00:25:18.974 --> 00:25:21.297
Would you like basic or all-star?

00:25:21.605 --> 00:25:24.094
You know what I'm gonna take the basic I can take a both of you prefer.

00:25:24.365 --> 00:25:35.294
I'm gonna take the basic today and I already kind of said it before, and it's a really important realization and it's something that actually ties directly into what Dorian said on his interview with us.

00:25:36.224 --> 00:25:43.191
And what we were talking about is how, using organics, using the different lead strategies, he was able to fill his calendar up.

00:25:43.191 --> 00:25:54.992
But in the voids that we're experiencing, we were gonna go against the grain in an effort to actually enhance our value price objections and work on those more and more and get more comfortable.

00:25:54.992 --> 00:26:04.951
So we were actually going to more Angie leads, other lead aggregating services where people say it's all tire kickers and that proves our service.

00:26:04.951 --> 00:26:17.192
But it also proves and improves our ability to speak to that and so, rather than fearing it like it's, you know, hopefully not gonna come and hopefully they don't bad an eye and we all love that experience.

00:26:17.192 --> 00:26:33.890
But I would really encourage electric printers to anticipate the value price objection, to focus on that, because if you could truly offer six options and then answer to the value price objection and come to a clear future every time, how big would your business be then?

00:26:35.065 --> 00:26:36.471
I mean I can't see any limits there.

00:26:36.471 --> 00:26:38.887
I mean you're at the right company with the right amount of fuel.

00:26:39.872 --> 00:26:42.669
Skies are limit, and so that's the basic.

00:26:42.669 --> 00:26:50.971
I know that's heavy, but embracing these couple objections that we've covered today and being able to hold to STYO, stick to your offer, I think, is massive.

00:26:50.971 --> 00:26:51.231
Joe.

00:26:51.231 --> 00:26:53.210
What do you got for an all star for us, brother?

00:26:54.325 --> 00:26:58.550
The all star action is gonna sound a little counterintuitive, but the all star action is actually.

00:26:58.550 --> 00:26:59.951
I want you to chase a no.

00:26:59.951 --> 00:27:05.268
I want you to genuinely try to get the customer to tell you no.

00:27:05.268 --> 00:27:06.392
I don't want that.

00:27:06.392 --> 00:27:11.250
The reason being is that very rarely will someone tell you no.

00:27:11.250 --> 00:27:17.352
They'll tell you things that you equate to no but they are not actually knowns.

00:27:17.984 --> 00:27:20.785
It'll sound like things like yeah, I'm really not sure what we're gonna have to do.

00:27:20.785 --> 00:27:21.990
We're gonna feel back at you on this.

00:27:21.990 --> 00:27:24.652
Yeah, it was just definitely more than what we're gonna do.

00:27:24.652 --> 00:27:26.329
I'm probably gonna have to go somewhere else.

00:27:26.329 --> 00:27:31.034
Probably might have to go somewhere else.

00:27:31.034 --> 00:27:35.090
Well, if I wasn't the right fit, why wouldn't you be certainly going with someone else?

00:27:35.090 --> 00:27:42.053
There are certain words where, if you pick them up, you realize that they're not telling you no.

00:27:42.053 --> 00:27:49.048
They're making usually a defeated statement or trying to have one last ditch of you saying like hey, man, I wanna work with you.

00:27:49.048 --> 00:27:50.875
Is there nothing you can do here?

00:27:50.875 --> 00:28:02.848
So recognize that your clients aren't always telling you no and if you try to pursue a no, you'll find that you have enough staying power in the game to actually get a yes.

00:28:04.644 --> 00:28:05.047
Love it, man.

00:28:05.047 --> 00:28:09.807
This has been episode 252 of Electric Printer Secrets Objection Skills.

00:28:09.807 --> 00:28:14.266
To Pay the Bills, We'll be back with more of this million dollar launch series tomorrow.

00:28:14.266 --> 00:28:15.627
Have a good day.

00:28:15.627 --> 00:28:16.990
Y'all be well.
