Ep 320 - How We Can Guarantee 50K-Mo or Better Service Van

What if you could guarantee $50K in sales each month for your service van operation? Welcome to the 320th episode of Electric Preneur Secrets, where we celebrate an incredible journey of daily content creation, amassing over 75,000 downloads, and unveil our bold new offer that does just that.

Electricians face unique challenges compared to other trades like HVAC, particularly when sales pressure and performance metrics come into play. This episode digs deep into why focusing solely on service can dramatically increase sales, and how premium options such as club memberships and maintenance agreements can boost revenue without adding extra labor hours. We explore the structured frameworks we use to train and empower service techs, creating a win-win for both the company and its customers—ensuring everyone thrives in their roles.

Balancing personal and professional success is no easy feat, and Dan's story of impressive invoicing achievements while maintaining personal priorities offers valuable insights.

00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:05.892
Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to yet another episode of Electric Prenuer Secrets.

00:00:05.892 --> 00:00:10.109
Joe, if you can believe this, this is episode 320.

00:00:10.109 --> 00:00:11.473
Oh my gosh.

00:00:13.801 --> 00:00:32.479
It feels so surreal at the same time, because I remember sitting down and being like this is our first episode together, and then going through and being like we're going to do one every day, and then literally did the thing 300 times in a row and I remember almost quitting to feeling like I don't know, man, is this working?

00:00:32.619 --> 00:00:38.460
people really, really want to talk about getting their service van sales up fixing some of these holes.

00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:40.304
It turns out they do.

00:00:40.304 --> 00:00:41.868
At episode 320, I think.

00:00:41.868 --> 00:00:46.579
We're well over 75 000 downloads right now, which is remarkable.

00:00:46.579 --> 00:01:00.362
That's remarkable I I look at downloads as, like every time we've been able to help someone either improve their day, be influenced to do something great, uh, get a big ticket they would have not otherwise had.

00:01:00.442 --> 00:01:21.030
Like these are big things, man it's a really wonderful thing at the same time, like you know, I didn't always have the help, and it feels good to be the someone else's help I like that good perspective, and that's the biggest pause we ever had in an intro, so let me get fired up and let you know where you are.

00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:22.959
You are back on electric printer secrets.

00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:24.603
I'm your host, clay newmeyer.

00:01:24.603 --> 00:01:25.646
With me always.

00:01:25.646 --> 00:01:30.388
My esteemed co-host, joseph Lucani, it's been a while since we called you the sales bot.

00:01:30.388 --> 00:01:43.608
I almost did it, though, and today we get to uncover a little bit more of that with this topic of how we can guarantee 50K a month or better from a service van, and I just want to give this a little bit of setting, if that's okay, by all means.

00:01:43.608 --> 00:01:49.414
So yesterday, you dropped a post on a new offer for our program.

00:01:49.414 --> 00:01:52.176
It was our flagship program, silver package.

00:01:52.176 --> 00:01:53.376
Blah, blah, blah.

00:01:53.376 --> 00:01:54.578
We're not trying to sell you guys.

00:01:54.578 --> 00:02:12.871
We want to give you the insights on why we can make such a bold promise that, for anyone that hasn't hit 50K months yet, that you could take them on and get them to 50K months with a money back guarantee in a period of six months or less 100%.

00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:13.682
And why do you?

00:02:13.763 --> 00:02:14.667
feel so confident in that.

00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:33.406
So we've started learning, like learning from a lot of different inputs that come in, and one of the things that I've learned is that you can make sure that all the assets are in place, but unless you help someone utilize them, it's no different than them not having it in the first place.

00:02:33.406 --> 00:02:36.719
So what we've done is we've developed the assets.

00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:43.264
We have the process, the exact play that I use to run 1.3 million out of my van one service van, right.

00:02:43.264 --> 00:02:45.631
So we have the play that runs that.

00:02:45.631 --> 00:02:50.229
We have the classes that are in place to teach it and make it consistent.

00:02:50.229 --> 00:02:53.884
We made a bite size, follow the bouncing ball program.

00:02:53.884 --> 00:02:56.491
We made an academy that you can access from your phone.

00:02:57.420 --> 00:03:08.812
But even further is that the key things, like the major levers that it takes to hit those numbers we're addressing in force, such as you know what you want to learn how to make your offer the right way Great.

00:03:08.812 --> 00:03:11.824
We have a specialized approach to guarantee their pricing things the right way.

00:03:11.824 --> 00:03:14.972
You're struggling making six options Great.

00:03:14.972 --> 00:03:33.566
I have multiple classes per week and other additional programs that we have, like the option splits, where I will personally build the options with you and teach you how I do it at a very high level and then also the objection handling and the mental conditioning required to serve at a high level consistently.

00:03:33.566 --> 00:03:40.967
So if someone is willing to do these things, I think 50,000 should be the floor of what's capable Like.

00:03:40.967 --> 00:03:42.451
This is not the ceiling.

00:03:42.451 --> 00:03:45.609
This is not like the oh well, only a few will get it.

00:03:45.609 --> 00:03:49.050
It's like you do the effing thing, you will get the result.

00:03:49.532 --> 00:04:00.931
This will happen and I'm willing to put my money on the line I like that and there's a couple things you said there that I think really stand out for me and there's an interesting result that's happening too.

00:04:00.931 --> 00:04:02.040
I'm going to save that for later.

00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:12.262
But uh, you mentioned the offer early on and we've seen.

00:04:12.262 --> 00:04:25.591
If you remember, we interviewed Eric and Mandy back last fall and in five weeks they were able to double their monthly revenue from their kind of sort of stuck mid thirties and, as they came on and shared with us very quickly, after five weeks of training that's not very long they had a month that doubled their monthly revenue.

00:04:25.591 --> 00:04:46.002
They hit 78K and it was no actual surprise that they had just finished offer training and even as we speak, I mean there's just this extra layer and not a lot of trainers or coaches or business people even whatever you want to call it are going to talk about this and address this in the moment.

00:04:46.062 --> 00:05:12.839
So I kind of wanted us to stand out in this particular instance and talk about why, even yesterday, like we don't hit on every action post we do, we don't always get hands up Right, and I can be vulnerable and say that, because marketing is an exercise where we don't have a crystal ball, we do our best to put out the right message to attract the right people to the right offer, and that's full circle back.

00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:25.576
So yesterday I feel like you really nailed this in your post, because I think 22 hands went up in under an hour saying, wow, if you're seriously putting your money where your mouth is, joe, and you're going to guarantee me 50K months, then I'm interested.

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.800
There were also people reaching out beyond just the comments.

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:35.149
It was funny because I was noticing that my inbox was blowing up and I'm like well, why weren't they commenting?

00:05:35.149 --> 00:05:43.754
And I'm realizing that some people may not have felt really comfortable saying that I am not hitting 50K months yet, but wanted to reach out to say I want that.

00:05:43.754 --> 00:05:47.884
Am not hitting 50K months yet, but wanted to reach out to say I want that.

00:05:47.884 --> 00:05:51.291
And that's totally cool because, at the end of the day, why you want to get there is entirely up to you.

00:05:51.291 --> 00:05:54.552
But as long as you're doing it for the right reasons, I want to help you get there.

00:05:54.552 --> 00:05:57.262
I don't care where you're coming from or where you want to go.

00:05:57.262 --> 00:05:59.324
As long as you want to do it for the right reason, I'm your guy.

00:06:00.045 --> 00:06:09.740
Yep, and that in itself, though, is proof that when we tinker with our offer, when we get the offer right, it can really connect to your audience.

00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:15.572
So, you know, it's always interesting talking about us on here, because it's actually about you guys.

00:06:15.572 --> 00:06:17.687
We want to help you with this.

00:06:17.687 --> 00:06:35.290
So back to the Eric and Mandy story and many others who have seen exponential growth very quickly right after the offer training, many others who have seen exponential growth very quickly right after the offer training, like, make no mistake, just how you speak to what you do changes the outcome of the sales at the end of the month, it's massive.

00:06:35.290 --> 00:06:39.163
So that one massive piece there, but you also said something about you know, maybe.

00:06:39.163 --> 00:06:41.848
Maybe someone's embarrassed about not being at 50 K yet.

00:06:41.848 --> 00:06:43.701
Yeah, that I say why.

00:06:45.004 --> 00:07:13.764
So there's a very specific reason that I've come to understand and it's really, I think, from my background in hvac, because I've noticed being exposed to like those type of coaches and styles of training and things like that that it's become almost a vanity metric right, when you're pushing're pushing, I'm constantly pushing 26, 26 seer air conditioning systems and, as a result, I'm constantly hitting well over a hundred a month or that's great, well and done.

00:07:13.764 --> 00:07:20.985
But electricians don't always have that same metric and if it's not the exact same thing.

00:07:20.985 --> 00:07:28.949
Like I remember, when I first started off, I was surrounded by HVAC guys and they were constantly hitting these big, big numbers each week.

00:07:28.949 --> 00:07:34.271
And me, as an electrician yeah, I was selling panels, selling generators, but it wasn't the same as constantly moving units.

00:07:34.271 --> 00:07:46.173
So, long story short, I think that the reason why some people are embarrassed is because the entire trades industry is trying to follow different models that don't always apply to us.

00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:55.103
And as a result, if we're not hitting these high numbers, we feel inferior, even though amongst ourselves we're doing very well.

00:07:56.024 --> 00:07:58.569
Yeah, for sure I can appreciate that.

00:07:58.569 --> 00:08:18.291
And I want to add that I think 50K is a big ceiling for anyone that's selling and installing, or, as we would call it, like the service tech right, the person that's well-rounded, doing everything Now, whether you're the owner or you're working for the owner, and that view, that lay of the land is just kind of well-rounded service techs all the way through.

00:08:18.291 --> 00:08:25.369
At some point that becomes a really difficult recruiting and training challenge, with a bigger gap, a bigger leap of faith.

00:08:25.369 --> 00:08:29.391
But also you just hit a ceiling because if you're installing you're not selling.

00:08:29.391 --> 00:08:31.367
And I mean them's the facts right.

00:08:31.949 --> 00:08:41.192
Yeah, there's also one other factor that I came to learn from personal experience as well, and that was my sales exponentially increased when I got out of the van doing install.

00:08:41.192 --> 00:08:44.254
Like I was still doing service work, but I wasn't doing install.

00:08:44.254 --> 00:08:50.350
And the reason being is to do and be a good installer, it requires a certain mindset.

00:08:50.350 --> 00:08:57.702
It's either not rushing, but you're thinking in logistics, you're thinking in efficiencies, you're thinking in quality control.

00:08:57.702 --> 00:09:02.373
You have a different mindset when it comes to trying to sell a service.

00:09:02.373 --> 00:09:07.985
So when I had to split my focus onto two different things, I was catching none of them.

00:09:07.985 --> 00:09:21.798
But when I started shifting over to I'm just doing service sales, it was so much higher because I knew that I didn't have to carry all the other mental burdens of, oh, I got to cut this in and oh man, how am I going to do?

00:09:21.798 --> 00:09:25.166
How am I going to offer this option if I'm too busy and I'm not going?

00:09:29.721 --> 00:09:35.285
That's a huge point man, that's massive, that's really big and it's a great takeaway.

00:09:35.285 --> 00:10:01.748
And Dan's with us actually in the chat here to the side too, and Dan's saying, hey, it's such a big difference when the numbers stack for material slash unit costs, primarily a labor estimate for electricians, slash plumbers, in comparison to say, if you are, if you're a service tech, if you're that well-rounded service tech and you're really trying to beat that 50, 60 K months, I mean, let's be honest, the service tech doing 50 to 60 K months, you're doing great.

00:10:01.748 --> 00:10:04.556
Like thank you for your service, wonderful job.

00:10:04.556 --> 00:10:10.547
To get above that, it's coming from your pricing or your markup on your pricing right Markup on materials.

00:10:10.586 --> 00:10:12.909
Some guys get into the crazy stuff.

00:10:12.909 --> 00:10:19.980
You've seen 100 to 200 percent material markups just to get that gross profit margin up and just squeeze more from your hours.

00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:25.373
But, like you said, without shedding the hours of install, at some point you're just at the ceiling.

00:10:25.373 --> 00:10:35.260
You need the framework and you need to lay out your training in a way that's conducive to bringing in installers training up to service tech and up to salespeople to really release people.

00:10:35.260 --> 00:10:50.111
I mean Dan, actually having commented here, sorry to put you on the spot, dan, but Dan himself, one of his guys had some big, big weeks here recently because of that framework of being able to release, control and empower your people to sell.

00:10:51.154 --> 00:10:52.076
Yeah, you know.

00:10:52.076 --> 00:11:02.985
It also leads us, I think, into the next topic, which was the actual options themselves, because there's ways that you can make your options better without having to add more hours to install.

00:11:02.985 --> 00:11:03.928
And what?

00:11:03.969 --> 00:11:17.688
I found was really helpful with that was with club memberships, with maintenance agreements and with value enhancements things that you can do for someone that don't necessarily equate to immediate hours but do equate to a long-term service agreement with them.

00:11:17.688 --> 00:11:32.514
Such as if I were to set you up with a generator and I included five years of generator maintenance, that's adding potentially $1,500 to $2,000 on top of your total, without a single hour added in the current moment.

00:11:32.514 --> 00:11:43.782
But it benefits your client because they're paying for today's service or paying for tomorrow's service at today's rate, they're not paying the tax on it and ideally, on top of that, they also know that they have a secure agreement.

00:11:43.782 --> 00:11:45.586
They've paid once and they don't have to pay again.

00:11:45.586 --> 00:11:49.402
So you're serving your clients on an ethical level.

00:11:49.402 --> 00:11:54.428
You're also able to lose more for your company and you don't have to expend more service hours.

00:11:55.250 --> 00:11:56.571
Same with your first class pass.

00:11:56.571 --> 00:12:08.941
If it's offered over the phone and then it's offered at the tech and then it's offered even at the install level, it becomes something that so many people are going to be exposed to that it almost seems foolish for them not to add it onto their agreement.

00:12:08.941 --> 00:12:20.149
And it's going to be offered in so many of your premium options that sure, even if you sell 10 a week, you've added 10 hours, 10 hours that you didn't have to put a single hour into.

00:12:20.149 --> 00:12:23.707
Yet those are future hours you can add to your slow season.

00:12:23.707 --> 00:12:29.991
So it protects you, learning how to scale and create real premium options that make your customers jaw drop.

00:12:30.852 --> 00:12:32.222
Yep, I couldn't agree more man.

00:12:32.222 --> 00:12:40.462
I would argue and not with you, but I would argue with anyone that says they could do better than 60, 70 K months without working on premium options.

00:12:40.462 --> 00:12:43.388
That's what it takes.

00:12:43.388 --> 00:12:51.611
I mean, if you're not offering VIP options to to even the middle-class people that you're serving, then you're missing some huge opportunities.

00:12:52.600 --> 00:13:01.270
And you know I'm also going to challenge that statement, because I feel like there's going to be someone out there that's going to be like well, I can and I want to speak as to what that doesn't need to look like.

00:13:01.270 --> 00:13:08.580
I'm not talking someone going in and selling a rewire once and striking out the rest of the month.

00:13:08.580 --> 00:13:15.854
We're talking about someone consistently closing at a high level and having their customers thanking them for being there.

00:13:15.854 --> 00:13:20.431
That's what's equated to a $50,000 a month at our level.

00:13:20.431 --> 00:13:22.888
This isn't just pushing a box.

00:13:22.888 --> 00:13:31.508
This is really educating your client and serving them truly serving them to where they almost feel bad for not tipping you as you leave.

00:13:31.508 --> 00:13:34.386
That's what we're trying to demonstrate.

00:13:34.386 --> 00:13:48.500
So it's not the number, it's the fact that the number equates to you performing at such a level that we can stand behind it and say if you do this and you do these things, you will succeed or I will pay you.

00:13:49.581 --> 00:13:50.120
Absolutely.

00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.344
And speaking of numbers, I mean that's what this is.

00:13:53.344 --> 00:13:57.807
It is a game of numbers and we're willing to bet that the math is on our side.

00:13:57.807 --> 00:14:18.466
If you run a certain number of calls and you offer a consistent certain number of options and you run that play consistently to talk to that person, build a relationship and just be able to sit with them and help them buy from those options with them and help them buy from those options, then in time I mean we've seen it, I'm where are some of the records?

00:14:18.466 --> 00:14:29.254
I mean quickly, I think, back to the podcast episodes, and I mean 39k platinums, 68k, 89k, I think dan had an 89 years, just one today.

00:14:29.556 --> 00:14:34.308
One today jared just came in and closed a 50 000 rewire plus with a first class pass.

00:14:34.308 --> 00:14:42.148
I mean like the benefit is is that people who've worked with us and who work with us still get the benefit of what we've done.

00:14:42.148 --> 00:14:49.967
So the fact is is that it doesn't matter the total ticket, it matters the consistency in which you deliver that ticket.

00:14:51.351 --> 00:14:51.952
Absolutely.

00:14:51.952 --> 00:14:55.962
It's just a matter of time before another big ticket lands in your lap.

00:14:55.962 --> 00:14:57.509
Exactly Demand call auto.

00:14:58.192 --> 00:14:58.894
Yep, you just gotta.

00:14:58.894 --> 00:15:02.368
You gotta pay to you, gotta play to play or play to win.

00:15:03.009 --> 00:15:04.013
Yep, absolutely.

00:15:04.013 --> 00:15:08.589
I was going through wins earlier and another interview we had was with Zach Bennett earlier.

00:15:08.589 --> 00:15:10.355
Uh, when was that fall?

00:15:10.355 --> 00:15:12.041
And Zach had an amazing quarter.

00:15:12.041 --> 00:15:13.644
He did like 340 K.

00:15:13.644 --> 00:15:19.073
But one of the things I love about Zach is Zach was very selfless in his approach to sales.

00:15:19.073 --> 00:15:21.629
He never hogged it from the team.

00:15:21.629 --> 00:15:23.633
The whole team is contributing to that.

00:15:23.633 --> 00:15:32.956
So when they had 120K a month he was really a third to you know, maybe just a little bit more the bigger contributor to that, but ultimately he was the bigger contributor to that.

00:15:32.956 --> 00:15:35.523
But ultimately he was still taking afternoons.

00:15:35.523 --> 00:15:46.702
If you remember, that's kind of how we talked about Zach was like he did this 120 K month, which was a huge month for for him and the team, but he was also going fishing in the afternoons with his son.

00:15:47.684 --> 00:15:54.561
And, you know, that shows true success, in my opinion, like, the only people that are going to know that we worked late are our kids.

00:15:54.561 --> 00:15:58.879
That's it, and it's one of the reasons why I'm so meticulous about being a good father.

00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:04.393
I will respect good fathers more than I will respect any good businessman.

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.144
You just brushed me back with that.

00:16:07.144 --> 00:16:08.308
Can you say that again?

00:16:08.308 --> 00:16:10.000
Sure so.

00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.222
I heard this quote that shocked me to my core and it made me want to be a better father.

00:16:14.222 --> 00:16:15.062
And that's this.

00:16:15.062 --> 00:16:24.307
The only people who will remember that you worked late are your children, and the sad thing is I remember that as a kid.

00:16:24.307 --> 00:16:26.687
My father's a good person.

00:16:26.687 --> 00:16:27.869
I can say that now.

00:16:27.869 --> 00:16:37.092
I think he's a good person person, but I do remember being a kid and not wanting someone to work two jobs at night.

00:16:37.092 --> 00:16:38.014
You know what I mean.

00:16:38.274 --> 00:16:43.676
I wanted the dad and I understand the reasons why and I can respect it, but as a child I didn't understand it.

00:16:43.676 --> 00:16:47.778
And you don't forget those feelings of why are you leaving?

00:16:47.778 --> 00:16:53.400
You know what I mean.

00:16:53.400 --> 00:17:09.017
So, even if you have the right reasons, even if you can justify it, even if you look back and be like, yeah, it's, it's hard and I want to make a life where my children don't have to worry about that either james says he's going to steal that in the chat on guys, if you're not with us in the facebook live, uh, in the group you could be electric printer secrets, what it's called.

00:17:09.037 --> 00:17:10.863
If you're just listening, join us there.

00:17:10.863 --> 00:17:12.005
Dan's correcting me.

00:17:12.005 --> 00:17:14.932
He says that actually ended at a 91K platinum.

00:17:14.932 --> 00:17:15.272
For that.

00:17:15.272 --> 00:17:20.904
I tell you it was a 91,000, right, dan could have slept in.

00:17:20.904 --> 00:17:31.614
He could have got drunk the night before, slept in, not saying you're a drinker, dan, just giving the absolute take it to the ridiculous opposite of how sales can really go right.

00:17:31.614 --> 00:17:38.867
We've got this choice to wake up today with confidence, put a smile on her face and rest assured we're gonna go serve someone at the highest level.

00:17:38.867 --> 00:17:47.487
And things like this just happen when we're in that right mindset and we're equipped with the right tools and we're just ready to be there at the highest level.

00:17:48.288 --> 00:17:48.650
I agree.

00:17:48.650 --> 00:17:58.563
I mean like it's literally once again bringing it back to parents, like I wake up early at 4.30 every morning so I can have time for prayer, so I can have time for workout One to make me better.

00:17:58.563 --> 00:18:02.211
But mostly the main driving force is when my kids get up.

00:18:02.211 --> 00:18:08.891
I want to be the best version of a dad I can be for them, and I can't do that unless I've got that kind of head start and prime for the morning.

00:18:08.891 --> 00:18:11.182
And I think the same applies to sales.

00:18:11.182 --> 00:18:14.627
Because once again, dan, you have my undying respect.

00:18:14.627 --> 00:18:18.753
You're an amazing human being and I loved working with you one-on-one on a consistent basis.

00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:27.005
The thing that we have to focus on is that you chose to operate at the high level.

00:18:27.005 --> 00:18:28.208
That operational high level is a consistent activity.

00:18:28.208 --> 00:18:31.624
You can't just wake up and say I'm doing this once and then going back.

00:18:31.624 --> 00:18:41.505
It's a scale that continually climbs and as you keep doing that, your level of skill exponentially grows with your dedication and consistency to that skill.

00:18:41.505 --> 00:18:43.894
So keep on the same path, man.

00:18:43.894 --> 00:18:45.441
You're really going to blow everyone out of the water.

00:18:46.103 --> 00:18:49.451
Yeah, when you think about that effort over time, man, it's sky's the limit.

00:18:49.451 --> 00:18:50.602
Right, it really is.

00:18:50.602 --> 00:18:52.266
I just want to.

00:18:52.266 --> 00:18:56.788
I want to take a moment here with Dustin, because he said you know, damn, the American dream got us.

00:18:56.788 --> 00:19:00.343
My dad got me as a workaholic and now, with kids, I've opened my eyes to it.

00:19:00.343 --> 00:19:03.049
You don't notice until you're too old, dustin.

00:19:03.049 --> 00:19:06.855
I just want to say I share that with you, brother, and I really want to point this out.

00:19:06.855 --> 00:19:16.728
I love the turn we're taking here, because anytime we talk about revenue or revenue goals, we get these priorities mixed up and I want you guys to make no mistake.

00:19:16.728 --> 00:19:24.929
Both Joe and I are proud fathers to two daughters apiece, and I've made my overworking mistakes.

00:19:24.929 --> 00:19:26.441
Joe's made his Like.

00:19:26.441 --> 00:19:32.672
We're with you on this and in no way, shape or form do we ever put business ahead of health and family.

00:19:32.672 --> 00:19:33.461
It is health family.

00:19:33.461 --> 00:19:34.326
It is health family.

00:19:34.326 --> 00:19:35.107
Then business.

00:19:35.921 --> 00:20:01.465
the best thing about this is we can actually learn to do this thing without working crazy, crazy hours, without losing your weekends, without losing that time with your family you know, one of my close friends, josh lupo, told me something that stuck out and I don't know if he came up with it or if you heard it, but it was an amazing quote and it's America doesn't run on Duncan, america runs on consumer debt.

00:20:01.465 --> 00:20:06.832
The American dream is an interesting thing, but it's a path to debt.

00:20:06.832 --> 00:20:13.887
Buying more things and doing the things and having the car and having the house isn't as important as having a home.

00:20:13.887 --> 00:20:19.913
A home is the thing, inside of it, the family, the house is just the thing.

00:20:19.913 --> 00:20:26.763
So it's so crazy where, dan, you're right, you're right, man, the thing is-.

00:20:26.804 --> 00:20:27.044
It was.

00:20:27.064 --> 00:20:27.424
Dustin.

00:20:27.424 --> 00:20:28.951
Sorry, dustin, forgive me.

00:20:28.951 --> 00:20:30.155
Dustin, forgive me, you're right.

00:20:30.155 --> 00:20:41.678
You have this situation where you're like the American dream tricks you and we're doing all we can to put a lens on that and say you can work hard and you can strive for an income.

00:20:41.678 --> 00:20:47.672
But if you're just trying to do it so you can hoard your wealth like a dragon and sleep on it, you're probably doing it for the wrong reasons.

00:20:47.672 --> 00:20:53.840
If you're doing it to build generational wealth and really change the world with your wealth, I want to rally behind that kind of person.

00:20:54.784 --> 00:20:55.386
Absolutely.

00:20:55.386 --> 00:20:58.834
That's really well said, joe.

00:20:58.834 --> 00:21:01.577
Dan gave us one little more nugget here that I just want to share.

00:21:01.577 --> 00:21:05.784
So Dan said he's invoiced $212,000 so far this month.

00:21:05.784 --> 00:21:06.786
Congratulations, dan.

00:21:06.786 --> 00:21:09.798
But he's only estimated one of those projects.

00:21:09.798 --> 00:21:15.642
This is the important piece when we're talking about being home for the family, prioritizing health.

00:21:15.642 --> 00:21:23.641
Really big congratulations to you, dan, for being able to step back and still have significant months in your business.

00:21:23.641 --> 00:21:24.953
Sky's the limit for you guys.

00:21:24.953 --> 00:21:25.536
Really proud.

00:21:25.536 --> 00:21:26.920
You guys, really proud.

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:33.038
There's one more thing I wanted to cover here, joe, on this, and we've got to be mindful of the time, of course, today.

00:21:33.038 --> 00:21:52.193
But there's been a few people that have reached out for this specific 50K offer that are already doing 60K, plus One person reached out, I think just an hour or two ago, already doing 146k this month in sales.

00:21:52.193 --> 00:21:54.482
Why do you think that person reaches out or these types of people would reach out, even with the 50k offer?

00:21:54.482 --> 00:21:55.506
What do you think is happening there?

00:21:56.170 --> 00:22:02.259
So I can only take my own personal assumptions, and it's never meant to almost devalue anyone.

00:22:02.259 --> 00:22:08.096
But what the offer represents is it shows different people different things.

00:22:08.096 --> 00:22:14.036
For those who are under 50K, it shows that that number is possible and consistently doable.

00:22:14.036 --> 00:22:23.317
For those that are over it, it shows that we're capable of having a process in place that will help them break through whatever ceiling they're going through.

00:22:23.317 --> 00:22:30.435
The fact that we're so confident that literally we're like I'll pay for it, I don't care if you lose, it's on me.

00:22:30.435 --> 00:22:36.154
If we're willing to make that kind of guarantee, then there's something that we can teach those people too.

00:22:36.154 --> 00:22:48.737
Whether they recognize it or not, it's very clear that they're coming because they realize that we have something that's going to help them break through whatever ceiling they have, whether it's 100, whether it's 150, whether it's 200.

00:22:48.737 --> 00:22:53.240
There are things that we know that we'll be able to tweak, even ever so slightly.

00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.712
That'll get the game changed for them, and I'm excited for the challenge.

00:22:56.712 --> 00:22:57.915
I really am.

00:23:00.080 --> 00:23:06.734
Me too, man, me too I appreciate that point of view and I would agree it must be right, because I mean other than the vote of confidence.

00:23:06.734 --> 00:23:12.278
You see other people enjoying the offer and really, really, you know, putting hands up to at least hear more about it.

00:23:12.278 --> 00:23:31.252
Um goes to says a lot about the offer, says a lot about the community that we're in, but it also says a lot about you know what we know about the serious salesperson, the person that really is on a mission to take it to the their absolute apex, and they know that it's just these consistent little things.

00:23:31.252 --> 00:23:33.020
It reminds me of warren buffett, actually.

00:23:33.020 --> 00:23:34.287
You ever heard this?

00:23:34.346 --> 00:23:34.970
before talk about.

00:23:34.970 --> 00:23:38.174
Why does warren buffett read 80 of his days?

00:23:38.174 --> 00:23:41.660
Well, from what I think, that's correct?

00:23:42.201 --> 00:23:56.222
yeah, from what I understand, he's learned that there are some activities that he needs to do and there's other activities that he can delegate to others, but that the constant accumulation of knowledge leads to the constant accumulation of wealth.

00:23:56.222 --> 00:24:02.223
The more you know, the better you can do with it let me go a bit deeper with that.

00:24:02.724 --> 00:24:03.066
Go for it.

00:24:03.066 --> 00:24:20.279
He's looking for one thing, one thing, because when you're managing what is he at, five billion in assets or whatever the heck it is, all you need is one little thing to get another billion in the door.

00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:45.643
The higher you get with this monthly sales endeavor, the more minute the change required to see the lever push you up another 10, 20, 30, 40, 50k a month and before you know it, to someone who's doing 140K a month, before you know it, one little change could be what takes you to 200k a month.

00:24:45.643 --> 00:24:53.615
And then you just never look back and you become the warren buffett in that situation, looking for that next linchpin.

00:24:53.615 --> 00:24:55.078
What's this next little thing?

00:24:55.078 --> 00:24:58.755
I just need to tweak yeah, I remember that I.

00:24:59.036 --> 00:25:01.019
It's really cool when you see it in perspective.

00:25:01.019 --> 00:25:02.181
I like that a lot.

00:25:10.490 --> 00:25:11.432
What would you credit for your sales success?

00:25:11.432 --> 00:25:13.396
Like the thing that you would credit like if you had to choose one thing.

00:25:13.396 --> 00:25:16.103
What's the reason you were able to get to 1.3 Joe in a year?

00:25:18.810 --> 00:25:20.635
You're asking for one thing off the spot.

00:25:20.635 --> 00:25:22.882
There's two things that come to mind.

00:25:23.411 --> 00:25:24.534
That's fair, I'll take it.

00:25:24.854 --> 00:25:31.178
Yeah, the first thing is more of a sad story that it's the grow or die mentality.

00:25:31.178 --> 00:25:40.882
Right, I trained to such a depth that was practically obsessive, compulsive, because I thought that if I didn't I would take my own life.

00:25:40.882 --> 00:25:57.039
And I was training to such an extent because I was truly afraid that I was going to do that and I figured that if I was going to succeed I had to do it, because succeeding meant life and failure meant I was going to end it.

00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:08.116
And that kind of intensity pushed me to do things that I don't know the average person would want to do or feel capable of doing, and I got them done.

00:26:08.116 --> 00:26:13.000
It's a hard thing to talk about, but it's definitely something that I did.

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.200
The second was I invested in training.

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:32.032
I invested in training anywhere I can find it, and when I found trainers that I thought could teach me things, I didn't question it and I pushed every dollar I had into learning more, because that training also led me to believe that I could stay alive one day longer.

00:26:32.835 --> 00:26:35.640
Hmm, powerful, powerful.

00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:38.833
Now, guys, that is not a shameless plug.

00:26:38.833 --> 00:26:41.161
No one's asking you to invest every every dollar here.

00:26:41.161 --> 00:26:41.362
No one's.

00:26:41.362 --> 00:26:42.506
No one's asking you to invest every every dollar here.

00:26:42.506 --> 00:26:42.707
No one's.

00:26:42.707 --> 00:26:43.789
No one's saying that at all.

00:26:43.789 --> 00:26:45.836
Those are simply joe's truths.

00:26:45.836 --> 00:26:49.946
Um, I would point something else out about you, though.

00:26:49.946 --> 00:26:54.482
I got one more thing to add to this list okay, I'm open to learn about me what's up now?

00:26:54.864 --> 00:26:57.892
it it's got to be driven from this same place, I'm sure.

00:26:57.892 --> 00:27:11.299
But you are like so consistent, my brother, you're the most consistent person Like you just keep showing up and doing the thing like crazy amounts.

00:27:11.299 --> 00:27:18.938
And to me, when I look around a room, I'm the guy that sees potential to a fault.

00:27:18.938 --> 00:27:26.951
I can look around a room Like if I could see everyone listening, watching, hearing this right now, I bet you 90 out of a hundred of them.

00:27:26.951 --> 00:27:34.539
I could see their potential and motivate the hell out of them, because I truly believe that they can do this too.

00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:38.400
I truly believe that I believe in you too.

00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:43.337
The only place that ever falls short is in the next activity.

00:27:43.337 --> 00:27:47.372
It's the next thing that we're meant to do.

00:27:47.372 --> 00:27:48.434
That doesn't get done.

00:27:48.434 --> 00:27:55.856
That robs us of that potential, because I don't think I'm actually wrong, does that?

00:27:55.896 --> 00:27:56.317
make sense.

00:27:56.317 --> 00:27:58.523
Yeah, unfortunately, you're right.

00:27:58.523 --> 00:28:05.577
It's like and this also is another plug, I mean I'm speaking to all the people who grew up being told that they were gifted.

00:28:05.577 --> 00:28:11.436
Like I'm an autistic individual and I was told as a child, when I didn't know it at the time, that I was gifted.

00:28:12.278 --> 00:28:32.351
And the thing about being gifted is that you're told that you have this immense potential, but because you're told that so many people have this almost this complex that gets developed around it to where they feel they should have achieved more at a certain time and that fear keeps them from doing the thing, because they feel like they actually won't live up to the thing that everyone told them they could do.

00:28:32.351 --> 00:28:44.261
And it's so interesting to think about because really, you're right, clay, it's not what someone tells you you can do, it's what you're willing to show up and shovel to do.

00:28:44.261 --> 00:28:51.843
I'm willing to pick up the shovel each day until my hands are blistered, because I know that if I don't do the next thing, I don't know if I'm going to wake up.

00:28:51.843 --> 00:28:56.101
So I'm going to keep doing the thing because I believe that my family is worth surviving for.

00:28:57.490 --> 00:29:01.582
And now I'm going to run us right into the next options specialist clinic.

00:29:01.582 --> 00:29:06.290
Here it starts at eight minutes.

00:29:06.290 --> 00:29:16.680
But here's the thing I want to say to that it's one thing to say we're going to, we're going to shovel right now, but what happens when you wake up tomorrow and you have a migraine?

00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:22.221
Or you wake up tomorrow and your daughter has a cold, or you know she didn't sleep tonight, or the dog got sick, or you know what I mean?

00:29:22.221 --> 00:29:27.242
Like it's the emotional aspect of humans that truly limits us from our potential.

00:29:27.242 --> 00:29:34.471
And it's the emotional aspect of humans I know I'm a hard on my sleep guy that really shows us our potential.

00:29:35.153 --> 00:29:40.351
The problem is we're not fully in control of the emotions and so the activity gets hindered.

00:29:40.351 --> 00:29:42.315
And unfortunately I didn't go to the gym in the morning, but I'll go tomorrow.

00:29:42.315 --> 00:29:42.633
And so the activity gets hindered.

00:29:42.633 --> 00:29:43.555
And unfortunately I didn't go to the gym in the morning.

00:29:43.555 --> 00:29:45.057
Um, but I'll go tomorrow.

00:29:45.057 --> 00:29:50.117
And if I don't go tomorrow, all of a sudden my whole slump just starts Right and I won't go for a month.

00:29:50.117 --> 00:30:06.086
And I think so many people can relate to this, because the truth is a to B is easy to see and it's really fucking hard to do is really hard to do and you, my brother, do that really well I really appreciate that man.

00:30:06.145 --> 00:30:06.526
It's um.

00:30:06.526 --> 00:30:08.717
I hold your, your opinion in very high regard.

00:30:08.717 --> 00:30:09.961
It means a lot that you'd say that.

00:30:10.201 --> 00:30:13.035
So thank you, clay let me ask you a question.

00:30:13.035 --> 00:30:29.700
Okay, you tell me if it's offside kind of unplanned here, but we haven't really got into this before but the, the making of you as a coach, the making of you to the $1.3 million sales tech, was it as consistent then?

00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:32.157
Is that like the real secret behind this?

00:30:33.631 --> 00:30:35.298
I'm not quite sure I understand the question.

00:30:35.298 --> 00:30:36.695
Do you mind rephrasing it differently?

00:30:37.030 --> 00:30:39.499
Has your consistency grown to this point?

00:30:39.499 --> 00:30:45.407
Or like when you were coming up and becoming the 1.3 uh sales robot?

00:30:45.407 --> 00:30:46.892
I'm gonna stop calling you robot.

00:30:46.892 --> 00:30:51.403
I'm sorry, brother, but like in this instance, it's all good action of it.

00:30:51.403 --> 00:30:54.634
Were you as consistent at that time?

00:30:56.637 --> 00:30:58.059
yes, but for the wrong reasons.

00:30:58.059 --> 00:31:08.221
Okay, and it is going to be a long topic to get into, but I can touch on it and we can always continue on with the next episode if that's okay, but amen yeah, you're willing to go into it.

00:31:08.582 --> 00:31:09.511
yeah, I'm willing to get into it.

00:31:09.511 --> 00:31:13.040
For a little bit I was a monster.

00:31:13.040 --> 00:31:20.277
The thing was is that I had learned what it took to survive and I was willing to do anything it took to get there.

00:31:20.277 --> 00:31:22.300
But my focus was wrong.

00:31:22.300 --> 00:31:30.281
When I was younger, I thought that wealth and power and success and lusts being fulfilled.

00:31:30.281 --> 00:31:40.576
I thought that was success and, as a result, everything that I took I rallied towards that and though I was consistent in getting there, my motivations were wrong.

00:31:40.576 --> 00:31:47.115
So I was really good at what I was doing, but I wasn't doing it for the right reasons.

00:31:48.778 --> 00:32:00.434
When I started getting a better focus on life and really understanding myself better and learning that when I had my daughter, it changed my life.

00:32:00.434 --> 00:32:03.342
When I learned that I was autistic, it changed my life.

00:32:03.342 --> 00:32:14.800
I was doing consistency because I was so immersed in my own self-loathing that I could have done anything in the world, because I was willing to burn myself at both ends to get it done.

00:32:14.800 --> 00:32:29.953
Now I'm more consistent than then, not because I'm willing to put more effort into it, but I'm willing to know when to stop and I'm willing to know when to pick back up, because I'm willing to run the endurance race the marathon, not the sprint.

00:32:29.953 --> 00:32:36.451
I was holding fire in my hand and I was using it like a tool, but not realizing it was scorching my palms.

00:32:36.451 --> 00:32:48.645
So it's a hard question to answer, but I would say that the consistency comes from the motivation.

00:32:48.645 --> 00:32:59.800
My why became so big after the years that the why not just disappeared, and now I have only one direction, and that's forward or die.

00:33:01.550 --> 00:33:25.438
So at one point I think I heard this, or you told me, or somehow I have this knowledge is it true that you attended seven years straight the same event, total immersion, that's, that's true, yeah every year that is true, we're gonna run out of time, but like I'm kind of itching to know why you would go to the same event year after year after year.

00:33:27.691 --> 00:33:28.795
The short answer I can give you.

00:33:28.795 --> 00:33:50.133
Okay, the short answer is that I'm a man who's willing to learn from anyone, and when there are certain concepts that you find resonate with you, it's important to truly understand them in every possible aspect that you can.

00:33:50.133 --> 00:34:07.231
I needed to know certain things because I could not talk to people, so I was willing to learn from anyone, and by doing so I figured if I learned and can study it enough, I could be happy.

00:34:07.231 --> 00:34:19.885
It wasn't the sale, it was just a means to get to happiness for me, and I factored that if I could learn the basics enough, I could become consistent enough that the feeling of happiness would remain.

00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:29.590
And that's why I kept going Wild.

00:34:29.590 --> 00:34:29.670
Man.

00:34:29.670 --> 00:34:30.411
Well, I certainly don't regret it.

00:34:30.411 --> 00:34:30.974
Happy to have you here.

00:34:30.974 --> 00:34:31.655
We are absolutely out of time.

00:34:31.655 --> 00:34:32.317
We took this to the last minute.

00:34:32.317 --> 00:34:33.579
You guys, I drilled into Joe a bit.

00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:35.632
I don't think you saw that one coming on this one.

00:34:35.632 --> 00:34:39.730
But, joe, why don't we go a bit deeper on this next time, if you're comfortable with it?

00:34:39.730 --> 00:34:41.251
I'm looking forward to it, man.

00:34:41.630 --> 00:34:43.431
It's good to people Keeper on this next time if you're comfortable with it.

00:34:43.431 --> 00:34:45.552
I'm looking forward to it, man, it's good to people know.

00:34:45.552 --> 00:35:09.920
All right, you guys, I'm feeling an urge here to change our sign off a little bit and just let you know that we're going to be back next week with more for you in this effort to not only help you master your sales, simplify your pricing and deliver premium level service, but to help you get towards your million dollar sales van, if that's what you're after, to help you get to that level of service that you desire.

00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:11.641
That's what we're really here for.

00:35:11.641 --> 00:35:13.521
Thanks for joining us, you guys.

00:35:13.521 --> 00:35:14.722
We'll see you again next week.

00:35:14.722 --> 00:35:16.182

00:35:16.182 --> 00:35:18.041
I look forward to seeing you soon.
