S2 EP34 - Why Electricians Should Stop Forcing Sales on the First Call
Are you still pushing for the close on the first visit? In this episode, we challenge one of the most common sales beliefs electricians hold and reveal why the Two-Call Close might be the highest-leverage shift you can make in your sales process.
Discover why the traditional same-day close often fails and how splitting your sales process into two focused calls can increase your conversion rates, build stronger customer connections, and lead to bigger jobs.
Here's what you'll learn:
• The psychology behind why same-day closes fails more often than you think and how to tap into better customer decision-making.
• The Two-Call Advantage: Learn exactly how splitting the call enhances clarity, builds trust, and ultimately leads to more electrical service sales.
• Objection Handling Mastery: Watch a roleplay demonstrating the best way to handle the common "Can't you just email it?" objection like a seasoned pro!
This one isn’t about sales tactics. It’s about building trust, buying time, and serving at the highest level.
Big Win of the Week:
Charlie closed a $35,000 job even though the competitor was $10K cheaper. Why?
Because he built trust over two calls and served at a higher level. That’s what the Loop Method is all about!

00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:12.313
Hello, hello, hello and welcome to the Million Dollar Electrician podcast where we help home service pros like you supercharge your business and spark up those sales.
00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:20.606
I'm Joseph Lucanie and, together with my co-host, Clay Neumeyer, we're here to share the secrets that have helped electricians sell over a million dollars from a single service van.
00:00:20.786 --> 00:00:40.762
Now it's time for sales, it's time for scale, it's time to become a million dollar electrician! Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to yet another great episode of the Million Dollar Electrician podcast.
00:00:40.762 --> 00:00:42.185
I'm excited for this one, Joseph.
00:00:42.185 --> 00:00:56.337
I want to go in today with you and help, Actually, I want to be the devil's advocate and go against something that we teach just because I want to be the voice for all the people who are against the reason of the two call close.
00:00:56.337 --> 00:00:58.161
Are you into going into that with me today?
00:00:58.783 --> 00:01:13.394
I'm so ready to do that because it's one of those things where it has a lot of stigma around it, where people are saying like, oh, it's inefficient or it's going to take me more time, but the rewards are so substantial that it's worth it and I can prove it, so let's get into it.
00:01:13.996 --> 00:01:14.298
Awesome.
00:01:14.298 --> 00:01:15.602
So we're going to go deep on this.
00:01:15.602 --> 00:01:17.245
We're going to help justify this.
00:01:17.245 --> 00:01:21.882
In fact, rather than justify it for you, I want to help you be able to make that decision.
00:01:21.882 --> 00:01:24.507
We want to help you be able to make that decision for yourself.
00:01:24.507 --> 00:01:31.948
I'll tell you a statistic and a bit of an analysis you can do in your business to help justify this and at least give it a shot and give it its weight.
00:01:31.948 --> 00:01:34.787
To go and give it a try in your business and see if it'll help you.
00:01:34.787 --> 00:01:40.751
On top of that, we've got a great win of the week Can't wait to share and some great big news at the end of this podcast.
00:01:40.751 --> 00:01:46.364
So please stick around and let's jump into it.
00:01:46.364 --> 00:01:49.075
Joe, help us understand once again what's the two call close and what's the point of this thing.
00:01:49.075 --> 00:01:49.900
Why?
00:01:51.325 --> 00:02:06.150
So the two call close is a slightly different approach to what common sales technique usually would tell you, where a lot of times it's present on same day present even if not, that both decision makers are there, email it over, like that's the standard.
00:02:06.150 --> 00:02:06.611
Email it over.
00:02:06.611 --> 00:02:20.590
What we do is what we say is we're going to determine at the beginning of the initial call if this person is the right person to make a presentation to, if this is the right time to make them a presentation and if there's other people that need to be included.
00:02:20.590 --> 00:02:34.592
Once we've come to that conclusion, towards the end of the call, we give the customer pretty much the flexibility to decide is this something they're looking to do today, or is this something they're not looking to do today, If we're going to take it to a two call close?
00:02:34.592 --> 00:02:39.301
They have somehow said we're still getting estimates, we're not looking to bring this to a conclusion.
00:02:39.361 --> 00:02:40.424
This is not a nice thing.
00:02:40.424 --> 00:02:42.427
My spouse isn't here, Great.
00:02:42.427 --> 00:03:06.222
So what we're going to do is then confirm with them that we're going to move this appointment to another time of our mutual choosing where what I'll have the ability of doing is creating some amazing options at my own convenience, at my house or at my office, and the benefit to the customer is I'm going to not only get them some great choices, but it gives me the time to really sharpen my pencil and come as fresh and focused as I possibly can be.
00:03:06.222 --> 00:03:12.423
So the point of the two call close is it substantially increases your chance of closing.
00:03:12.423 --> 00:03:23.701
It increases your connection and delivers a much more effective presentation to the right people at the right time, leading to a far higher closing rate than you would receive on a same day push.
00:03:25.145 --> 00:03:26.989
And I told you I was going to be devil's advocate.
00:03:26.989 --> 00:03:31.905
So I'm going to add a big B-U-T and say but I'd have to go there again, joe.
00:03:32.747 --> 00:03:33.468
That's entirely true.
00:03:33.468 --> 00:03:37.067
It's entirely true, but I can actually say that's a benefit to you.
00:03:37.067 --> 00:03:38.680
Can I explain how Sure?
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.605
First and foremost, what we need to do is?
00:03:41.605 --> 00:03:44.752
We need to create differentiation between ourselves and our competition.
00:03:44.752 --> 00:03:49.121
Like, no matter what we do, if we're all seeing the same, the only difference will be our price.
00:03:49.121 --> 00:03:56.062
So what I've learned is a very effective means of serving people is doing a before, during and after demonstration.
00:03:56.062 --> 00:04:13.088
Now this, this Two-call close, is the before part, because what does it communicate to the client If I'm willing to take time out of my day to make sure they're properly educated and that I made sure they didn't have any questions or any doubts or concerns prior to moving forward and even taking the money?
00:04:13.088 --> 00:04:18.189
What does that show about the level of service I'm going to provide once they decide to hire me?
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:28.069
I would say and this depends, and I don't want to bust your chops too much, but it either means I'm trying to push the sale harder or I'm a better service provider?
00:04:29.351 --> 00:04:29.833
It's possible.
00:04:29.833 --> 00:04:34.009
So just so I understand, you're saying, if I do a presentation same day or I do the two call close.
00:04:34.009 --> 00:04:35.172
I just want to make sure I understand the question.
00:04:35.492 --> 00:04:51.338
Yeah, In some cases, like I can see how people would say well, if I'm, if I'm insisting that I come back to talk through it again, some people might interpret that as sales pressure and me just trying to get them both in the room and talk them into us again.
00:04:52.201 --> 00:04:55.007
And that's true, provided you didn't have the now or later step.
00:04:55.007 --> 00:04:58.482
The benefit of what we do is it's never a push.
00:04:58.482 --> 00:05:03.983
The customer has the complete, willing control of what we're choosing to do based on their timeframe.
00:05:03.983 --> 00:05:12.151
So if they said, no, I'm willing to make a decision today like let's make this happen, then what we do is we'd be able to shift our focus and do a same day presentation.
00:05:12.151 --> 00:05:25.170
But if the customer says, like, listen, I'm just in the guesstimate gathering phase, no matter what you're going to tell me, I'm not going to do anything, you have to ask yourself why would I stay there and still write up a presentation and then deliver it, only to educate my competition?
00:05:25.170 --> 00:05:35.620
So while some could say, yeah, it's perceiving you as a different salesperson, what's worse?
00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:38.346
Having someone trying to close you same day because they don't want to come back and then send you the email?
00:05:38.346 --> 00:05:38.608
it's not fun.
00:05:38.608 --> 00:05:41.122
Not fun for the buyer and it's definitely not fun for the salesperson.
00:05:42.204 --> 00:05:44.630
And you also use the word stay there, and I liked that.
00:05:44.630 --> 00:06:01.240
Actually, I'm seeing this in a whole new light, even just on this podcast, because it sounds like you're suggesting, or implying at least, that if I were to try to present today, this is actually going to be a longer call today, instead of splitting out and doing two more, maybe medium sized calls instead.
00:06:01.541 --> 00:06:03.547
Correct, so like let's take any call.
00:06:04.048 --> 00:06:08.809
I'm sure if you were going to say the trip GFI, it could be a quicker assembly of whether we're going to create options.
00:06:09.339 --> 00:06:15.009
But let's say a customer wants a generator, or they want a service upgrade, or in fact maybe they want a lighting upgrade.
00:06:15.009 --> 00:06:23.442
Well, it would be irresponsible on my end to try to rush the presentation because obviously there is a time window of attention.
00:06:23.442 --> 00:06:35.252
What I found through my studies is 45 minutes is the ideal moment to communicate some sort of solution to your client and once it reaches the hour and a half mark, their attention substantially drops.
00:06:35.252 --> 00:06:46.625
So if you think about how the call is supposed to operate, your first 45 minutes is the bonding, the connecting and the technical exploration.
00:06:46.625 --> 00:06:49.538
You're then in 30 minutes going to construct six options and deliver a full presentation with objection handles.
00:06:49.538 --> 00:06:52.829
It's not likely that you're going to be able to do that unless you're absolutely rocket speeding it.
00:06:52.829 --> 00:07:04.728
And if you are going too fast it's likely you're missing details that would have been the difference between you closing or not, such as the spouse's name, where they're from, what kind of interest they have and how they're going to use this thing most often.
00:07:06.050 --> 00:07:14.692
Right, right, really important stuff and capturing that experience, of course, super important to the presentation of those options to also stand out and be memorable.
00:07:14.692 --> 00:07:18.185
That said, how does this work then?
00:07:18.185 --> 00:07:23.843
Are you suggesting we would leave and build the options away from the house?
00:07:25.427 --> 00:07:27.151
So there's two different schools of thought.
00:07:27.151 --> 00:07:35.670
One is, if I'm called to do a presentation same day and this is I'm moving forward with it then I would go to the kitchen table for the customer to physically see what I'm doing.
00:07:35.670 --> 00:07:39.411
That way they know I'm not just in the van smoking a cigarette and creating a template.
00:07:39.411 --> 00:07:40.781
It's like I'm physically going to design it.
00:07:40.781 --> 00:07:46.572
But on the chance that they don't see us because it's not a same day presentation, I can build it anywhere I want.
00:07:46.572 --> 00:07:55.024
I can go to my office, I can have all my information spread out in front of me, have my lo-fi music in the background, just able to deliver a great presentation because I'm in the zone.
00:07:55.766 --> 00:08:08.463
And the benefit to the customer is that it's a much shorter experience in two sections Instead of 45 minutes and then an hour of creation and then presentation and then objection handling.
00:08:08.463 --> 00:08:18.762
Instead, what it is is it's 45 minutes or even less, maybe as much as 35 to 50 minutes, and then you can mutually pause while energy is still high, rapport is still high.
00:08:18.762 --> 00:08:21.990
No one's tired and say I'm so excited to help you with this.
00:08:21.990 --> 00:08:26.947
What I'm going to do is go back to the shop and design a range of choices that I feel is going to really really help you.
00:08:26.947 --> 00:08:31.346
All I ask is that we can come back in a time when you feel it's most convenient for you.
00:08:33.010 --> 00:08:36.942
And then we just meet them at that time, enthusiastically ready to serve.
00:08:38.272 --> 00:08:39.657
So a couple of questions come to mind.
00:08:39.657 --> 00:08:48.975
One is going to be leading into handling the sometimes objection that I could see homeowners giving there, but also you've talked about, like how this is all.
00:08:48.975 --> 00:09:03.874
Sales service at the highest level is like an endurance race, correct, we're trying to get to this place, but now I'm hearing well, 45 minutes ideal time to present, because that gives you time for presentation and objection handling and there's an endurance within that.
00:09:03.874 --> 00:09:05.818
How is this different?
00:09:05.818 --> 00:09:12.182
What do you think happens if I go two hours or two and a half hours before presenting on a call?
00:09:12.811 --> 00:09:15.037
You're going to have it absolutely exhaust the customer.
00:09:15.037 --> 00:09:19.456
Because, if you think about it, imagine doing two hours of mental strain.
00:09:19.456 --> 00:09:21.461
That's what the customer is going to have to do.
00:09:21.461 --> 00:09:25.383
If you imagine their experience they don't know you.
00:09:25.383 --> 00:09:27.309
They've maybe have never met you before.
00:09:27.309 --> 00:09:36.919
You're a stranger in their home and you've gone from I'm exploring your technical to, maybe they've had to stay around, maybe they haven't, maybe I'm just in their home and they're somewhere else doing something.
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.024
How much real connection is happening?
00:09:39.024 --> 00:09:43.981
Plus, how much strain are they going through maintaining having someone in their home?
00:09:44.770 --> 00:09:49.952
The better thing to do is, if anything, they're probably going to want to email it over because they're so tired.
00:09:49.952 --> 00:09:52.620
They're going to want to sit and think about it because their thoughts aren't clear.
00:09:52.620 --> 00:09:59.033
I mean, I would do the exact same thing If you had me going for two and a half hours and I needed to buy something.
00:09:59.033 --> 00:10:01.861
I'd probably ask to think about it, even if it was the right decision.
00:10:01.861 --> 00:10:15.717
But if I can come back when we're both fresh, I can not only deliver a better presentation with better articulation, but you, the homeowner, can also make sure that you're in the best place to receive the information.
00:10:15.717 --> 00:10:20.298
We actually have a way of introducing the information through our observation section.
00:10:20.298 --> 00:10:29.317
That helps remind the customer the whole reason why they called us and the benefit behind that is if I sent an email, how does that get communicated?
00:10:29.317 --> 00:10:35.211
What we do is we explain the why and then the why immediately ties into the what.
00:10:35.211 --> 00:10:40.442
But without the why properly communicated, you might as well just send it over and walk away.
00:10:42.390 --> 00:10:53.740
Yeah, that's really powerful stuff, Something that I never expected but has come as a result of two call closes within our program and community of people that are doing this and seeing wins from it is.
00:10:53.740 --> 00:11:04.511
I hear a lot of techs say that's their new favorite call, the second call, and so one of the benefits I don't think that you actually attributed in the beginning here was the clearer future piece.
00:11:04.511 --> 00:11:12.138
How does the two call close give us that clearer future and ultimately result in people enjoying this second call more?
00:11:12.438 --> 00:11:27.020
Well, the benefit is is that if you have a customer who you know you're coming back to present to you can instead focus the beginning of the call to building the relationship, instead of trying to fit the technical, the relationship and the process all at once.
00:11:27.549 --> 00:11:28.975
What we're doing is we're saying you know what?
00:11:28.975 --> 00:11:46.330
I know they're not making a decision right now, so I'm going to put down any kind of sales thing I was going to do and I'm just going to connect with this person as a person and now when I take that kind of rapport and I can tie it into, I'm going to come back and present to a friend now that I could step back and apply the technical in a controlled environment.
00:11:46.330 --> 00:11:48.553
It's way more enjoyable.
00:11:48.553 --> 00:11:49.716
One for the tech.
00:11:49.716 --> 00:11:53.984
Two, it has a substantially higher closing ratio.
00:11:53.984 --> 00:12:09.052
So the benefit is is that if your customer confirms that second appointment, you know that you're going to talk to two people, or likely at least the main decision makers are going to be there, they're going to be in the right mindset and they're going to be looking forward to seeing you.
00:12:10.977 --> 00:12:12.802
Yeah, really good, really good stuff.
00:12:12.802 --> 00:12:24.594
I want to get into this objection handle, pretty much the main one we see with this and it's the main reason why electricians tend not to do the two call close outside of the justification of the extra time.
00:12:24.594 --> 00:12:25.996
Extra time, if you will.
00:12:25.996 --> 00:12:35.955
I want to go into both those things, but I think we ought to take a minute to discuss this week's win of the week, because it's a doozy, and I know this one's on the tip of your tongue, joe, so you want to take that.
00:12:36.556 --> 00:12:36.796
Yeah.
00:12:36.796 --> 00:12:41.365
So our client, charlie, is just absolutely killing it.
00:12:41.365 --> 00:12:46.817
And the reason why I specifically thought of him was when we first started working together.
00:12:46.817 --> 00:12:52.018
He was an individual who did not like options at all, like, don't want to do any options.
00:12:52.018 --> 00:12:53.140
All options are salesy.
00:12:53.140 --> 00:12:53.701
I'm not about it.
00:12:53.701 --> 00:12:56.135
And Charlie, you're listening, I love you man, you're a great dude.
00:12:56.135 --> 00:13:08.998
But the thing was is that after working together, I was able to convey that options actually are a better way of serving and he was able to demonstrate it and started getting wins and, as a result, now only does options.
00:13:08.998 --> 00:13:18.400
Now, the win here was that Charlie went out to a call and ended up closing a $35,000 platinum, which sounds great in and of itself.
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:19.744
That's huge.
00:13:19.744 --> 00:13:23.818
But the real win was that he had created six options.
00:13:23.818 --> 00:13:25.182
The customer.
00:13:25.182 --> 00:13:28.791
His next quote was $10,000 less.
00:13:28.791 --> 00:13:44.462
It was in an apples to apples comparison, and the reason why was that they took so much additional time to serve them and they felt that the value they were receiving was so much more based on relationship and service base rather than just technical.
00:13:45.745 --> 00:13:49.119
I love that win and congratulations, Charlie on being win of the week.
00:13:49.119 --> 00:13:50.836
That's a huge accomplishment.
00:13:50.836 --> 00:13:56.962
Nothing says premium service like I took you over your nearest competitor at 10K more.
00:13:56.962 --> 00:14:23.586
And this actually ties perfectly in with today's subject, because I told you guys we'd give you a tool, a way to be able to assess if spending more time with people would be worthwhile for you not just guys like Charlie and I remember Nick we had a similar one not too long ago, but the 10K over top of the nearest generator sale was very similar for adding these little extras, for doing that little bit more for future serviceability.
00:14:23.586 --> 00:14:26.455
That's really what service loop means, that's what it stands for.
00:14:26.455 --> 00:14:28.638
So of course, that's what we swing for here.
00:14:29.570 --> 00:14:34.381
What you guys can do is actually look at a metric called lifetime customer value in your business.
00:14:34.381 --> 00:14:48.296
Customer value in your business, and the very, the most simplest form of this is to say total service sales divided by total number of customers, and you're going to get an average from that, and that is the most basic way to do this.
00:14:48.296 --> 00:15:02.940
But what you can begin to compare that average to are things like your customer acquisition, that cost per acquisition and that can actually give you great information based on your process and your marketing and advertising, to know how fruitful that's being.
00:15:02.940 --> 00:15:11.451
Now, as that metric at an advanced level, we say we're looking for a four to one lifetime value to cost per acquisition.
00:15:11.451 --> 00:15:39.152
But if this truly reduces your first call time, if it truly goes by the customer's choice, whether it's now or later, if it truly takes the ammunition away from the sales pressure on that first call and just says you know what I get to build a relationship here, keep this one short and sweet and serve the customer at the highest level, I mean it's just a win, win, win all around, and people like Charlie are just the ones proving it.
00:15:39.152 --> 00:15:42.440
So I urge you guys to go out and give this a shot yourself.
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:56.813
We also told you we would help you with this in the objection stance, so we're going to run the play here quick, but I also want you guys to know that we just released a value piece on this in April this year, 2025.
00:15:56.894 --> 00:16:13.155
If you're listening to this fresh off the press, wherever you listen to our podcast, and that value piece was an actual class, a recording where we went through with our SIRO AI and a call review, a sales call review where we helped one of our clients, Dorian, get over this exact objection.
00:16:13.155 --> 00:16:17.756
And why it was so amazing is Joe demonstrated it and then Dorian absolutely crushed it after.
00:16:17.756 --> 00:16:17.945
Everyone cheered.
00:16:17.945 --> 00:16:18.015
It was an awesome time.
00:16:18.015 --> 00:16:26.697
And then we talked about having a $2.5 million service tech mindset.
00:16:27.018 --> 00:16:32.121
So there's some absolute nuggets in this and if you want that, all you got to do is send us the keyword "class.
00:16:32.121 --> 00:16:34.250
We'll know exactly what you're talking about.
00:16:34.250 --> 00:16:37.096
To help you with this objection as well, joe, you ready for it?
00:16:37.096 --> 00:16:38.780
Brother, I'm ready for whenever you are.
00:16:38.780 --> 00:16:41.277
Okay, tell me what happens.
00:16:41.277 --> 00:16:51.937
Let's just describe this when you go to offer the second call or to pull away and design options, and then you go to book that number 2 call with them, but they say, well, can't you just email it over?
00:16:53.418 --> 00:16:57.184
Okay, so can I just describe where we're at in the call and then we can create the transition.
00:16:57.184 --> 00:17:05.820
Yep, so at this point we've done everything we need from a technical perspective to have diagnosed the situation.
00:17:05.820 --> 00:17:07.690
So that could have been we've measured out your ceiling for the lighting.
00:17:07.690 --> 00:17:08.231
That could have been.
00:17:08.231 --> 00:17:09.498
We sized your generator.
00:17:09.498 --> 00:17:13.413
We've gone through the panel and figure out your circuitry, whatever the thing was.
00:17:13.413 --> 00:17:16.259
As far as diagnosis goes, that's been complete.
00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:33.180
We've created our relationship, the customer's on the same page with us, and now we're kind of in this like seesaw moment where the customer could choose a same day presentation or they could choose to decide instead to not do it today, and that's where we'd have the two call close.
00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:38.336
So now is when we're going to initiate it, where we have a win-win, regardless of their choice.
00:17:38.336 --> 00:17:41.903
All right, very good, you want to role?
00:17:41.923 --> 00:17:42.203
play this.
00:17:42.809 --> 00:17:46.730
Yeah, so I'm going to initiate it, because that's usually where we'd go, and then you can object or not object to it.
00:17:46.730 --> 00:17:50.681
Sure, okay, all right, clay, so now you're aware of how we work.
00:17:50.681 --> 00:17:54.359
Our goal is to give you complete control of the level of quality and service you're going to be investing in.
00:17:54.359 --> 00:18:03.406
So what we do is we're going to design a range of choices, from the most permanent and the highest quality to the most temporary and economical, and then you're just free to choose whatever you want to think is the best fit.
00:18:03.406 --> 00:18:11.219
But just so you and I are on the exact same page, no matter what I was going to offer you today, we weren't planning on bringing this to inclusion while I'm here today, right?
00:18:11.219 --> 00:18:13.154
No, definitely not today.
00:18:13.194 --> 00:18:14.717
Joe, that's perfect.
00:18:14.717 --> 00:18:16.959
That lines up exactly how we would normally do things.
00:18:16.959 --> 00:18:24.266
So what we're going to do is I'm going to be able to go back to the shop, I'm going to take the time to really make some awesome options for you, and then I'll be able to come back.
00:18:24.266 --> 00:18:36.019
I'll sit down with you and Marielle and we'll figure out the best steps forward, and you're just free to choose whatever one you think is the best fit.
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:39.645
So when Mariel cares about, You just email it over to save us the trip.
00:19:02.611 --> 00:19:02.611
You know, that actually would save us a lot of time.
00:19:02.611 --> 00:19:02.611
And I really really appreciate you thinking about that.
00:19:02.611 --> 00:19:02.611
Trying to make my job easier.
00:19:02.611 --> 00:19:02.611
The thing is, this is actually something you receive as a benefit of working with our company.
00:19:02.611 --> 00:19:02.611
One of the thing is, our striving goal is to serve you before, during and after.
00:19:02.611 --> 00:19:02.611
And if im just willing to email it over, what's going to happen to our service call?
00:19:02.611 --> 00:19:02.611
Im a just going to email our tech as well?
00:19:02.611 --> 00:19:10.721
So the benefit is is that you're going to receive a demonstration of what it's like working with us, where I'll be able to answer any of your questions with absolutely no pressure whatsoever.
00:19:10.721 --> 00:19:13.215
You can even choose at whatever time you think is most convenient.
00:19:13.215 --> 00:19:15.532
So, with that being said, when would be the best time for the three of us to get together?
00:19:22.510 --> 00:19:26.442
Well, without being unprofessional, that is the case, and let me explain why.
00:19:26.442 --> 00:19:35.301
the thing is is that one of the benefits of working with us, in addition to us doing that, is that you have someone physically translating what's happening in the project.
00:19:35.301 --> 00:19:39.951
It wouldn't, it shouldn't be your responsibility to have to know just as much about electrical as I do.
00:19:39.951 --> 00:19:55.434
So what I do is I skip all the training and experience you would need and simply just translate it to exactly what's relevant to you, and I'll be able to do that from the full range, because we're not just, once again, giving one option, we're doing a full spread, and it would not be fair to you to have to figure out which is which.
00:19:55.434 --> 00:19:58.471
So, with that being said, when would be the best time for the three of us to get together?
00:20:00.252 --> 00:20:01.694
Okay, I think I understand.
00:20:02.415 --> 00:20:05.680
Just so I'm clear, though there's no way to get you to change your mind on this?
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:18.476
well, the thing is is that we've committed to serving at the highest level, and we used to actually email it over and what we found was we had more customers being unhappy than customers really saying you know, this is the right way of doing things.
00:20:18.476 --> 00:20:22.814
So was it wrong of us to want to say we want to serve you at the highest level or not at all?
00:20:24.237 --> 00:20:28.571
okay, so say, book a time you come back and I don't like the options you present.
00:20:28.571 --> 00:20:28.972
What then?
00:20:30.135 --> 00:20:32.991
Well, I mean, if you don't like the options, we can actually do something even better for you.
00:20:32.991 --> 00:20:57.676
What I would do is, if I'm not clearly the best fit right Like we've sat down together, I've designed everything and you're like, this is just not a connection point what I'll do is I'll take my presentation physically throw it away In fact, you can even pitch my iPad like a Frisbee across the yard if you want and what we'll do is I'll not only help you find other people that could help you, but I'll also make it a point to be with you to make sure that those designs you get to choose, whichever one is the best one for you.
00:20:57.676 --> 00:21:01.250
My goal is to serve you, even if it means not going with us.
00:21:01.250 --> 00:21:04.192
So, that being said, when would you like to make this happen?
00:21:06.095 --> 00:21:09.218
You know what, If you're willing to help us either way, then I don't see the harm in it.
00:21:09.218 --> 00:21:12.400
So Thursday do you have anything available Thursday evening?
00:21:13.361 --> 00:21:15.281
So what time Thursday evening, are you thinking?
00:21:15.281 --> 00:21:17.483
Because obviously evening could be a wide range.
00:21:17.483 --> 00:21:18.144
What do you have in mind?
00:21:18.144 --> 00:21:19.726
Yeah, four or five.
00:21:19.726 --> 00:21:24.675
Well, let me take a look, let's see what I can do.
00:21:24.675 --> 00:21:26.500
So I would have to move some personal things out of the way.
00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:34.297
But okay, if I was able to move some stuff out of the way on my end in order to be there for you and Marielle, ensure you fully understand everything, what would happen then?
00:21:34.297 --> 00:21:35.220
Would that?
00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:41.232
Would that be something you guys would be comfortable, you know, confirming and not moving that part, cause I'd hate to move things on my end to not happen.
00:21:41.874 --> 00:21:44.999
Yeah, yep, we can commit to a Thursday five.
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.381
Awesome, that's the case.
00:21:46.381 --> 00:21:49.211
I'll put it in pen on my account and I look forward to seeing you at that point.
00:21:49.211 --> 00:21:51.159
Clay, thanks so much for the opportunity to help you today, man.
00:21:51.159 --> 00:21:52.311
Thanks, joseph.
00:21:53.334 --> 00:21:57.051
All right, and there's the endurance race were mentioning guys, so just staying with it.
00:21:57.051 --> 00:22:00.259
There was no other option at that point.
00:22:00.259 --> 00:22:04.114
Your one shorter call in and we're either going two.
00:22:04.114 --> 00:22:08.142
part as friends or I'm going to follow your process.
00:22:08.142 --> 00:22:09.231
That's all there is to it.
00:22:09.231 --> 00:22:22.518
Keep in mind, what you guys experienced was just a short description, but what Joe would have experienced and I would have experienced was roughly 45 minutes of bonding and rapport building and experience and discussions at that point.
00:22:22.518 --> 00:22:27.771
So it's like you're talking to a friend, not some foe that's trying to twist you into something.
00:22:27.771 --> 00:22:28.594
Go ahead, Joe.
00:22:28.855 --> 00:22:31.311
Yeah, I wanted to add one, but I love that you could pick up my body language.
00:22:31.311 --> 00:22:36.083
There's one additional benefit here, and that is your morale.
00:22:36.083 --> 00:22:45.436
I've been in situations where I'm sitting away from my family and I'm writing a presentation for a customer I know is not going to buy.
00:22:45.436 --> 00:22:53.114
In my mind I'm like this person is just going to want to email it over, they just want to shop this out, and the whole time my heart's not in it.
00:22:53.114 --> 00:22:57.013
And then when it's time to actually talk to that person, they just say email it over.
00:22:57.013 --> 00:22:59.480
It's like, oh, I wasted all this time.
00:23:01.651 --> 00:23:13.558
What the two-call close does is it also protects the technician's personal time, because what you're establishing is if this customer just wanted to email it over they refuse to have in-person service.
00:23:13.558 --> 00:23:21.584
They're like apples to apples or nothing you could be removing a difficult customer and also freeing yourself up for the right customer.
00:23:21.584 --> 00:23:26.748
The call that you're on right now could actually be replaced with a better call.
00:23:26.748 --> 00:23:33.778
So instead of wasting the technician's time, having to just send something that's not going to go anywhere, they can say you know what?
00:23:33.778 --> 00:23:38.959
I decide whether this is going to happen or not, and if it doesn't happen, I'm not wasting my own time with my family.
00:23:38.959 --> 00:23:41.653
To send something to you just to educate my competition for free.
00:23:43.375 --> 00:23:43.876
Absolutely.
00:23:43.876 --> 00:23:46.541
I'm going to quickly try to summarize the benefits here.
00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:12.313
00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:20.606
00:00:20.786 --> 00:00:40.762
00:00:40.762 --> 00:00:42.185
00:00:42.185 --> 00:00:56.337
00:00:56.337 --> 00:00:58.161
00:00:58.783 --> 00:01:13.394
00:01:13.996 --> 00:01:14.298
00:01:14.298 --> 00:01:15.602
00:01:15.602 --> 00:01:17.245
00:01:17.245 --> 00:01:21.882
00:01:21.882 --> 00:01:24.507
00:01:24.507 --> 00:01:31.948
00:01:31.948 --> 00:01:34.787
00:01:34.787 --> 00:01:40.751
00:01:40.751 --> 00:01:46.364
00:01:46.364 --> 00:01:49.075
00:01:49.075 --> 00:01:49.900
00:01:51.325 --> 00:02:06.150
00:02:06.150 --> 00:02:06.611
00:02:06.611 --> 00:02:20.590
00:02:20.590 --> 00:02:34.592
00:02:34.592 --> 00:02:39.301
00:02:39.361 --> 00:02:40.424
00:02:40.424 --> 00:02:42.427
00:02:42.427 --> 00:03:06.222
00:03:06.222 --> 00:03:12.423
00:03:12.423 --> 00:03:23.701
00:03:25.145 --> 00:03:26.989
00:03:26.989 --> 00:03:31.905
00:03:32.747 --> 00:03:33.468
00:03:33.468 --> 00:03:37.067
00:03:37.067 --> 00:03:38.680
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.605
00:03:41.605 --> 00:03:44.752
00:03:44.752 --> 00:03:49.121
00:03:49.121 --> 00:03:56.062
00:03:56.062 --> 00:04:13.088
00:04:13.088 --> 00:04:18.189
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:28.069
00:04:29.351 --> 00:04:29.833
00:04:29.833 --> 00:04:34.009
00:04:34.009 --> 00:04:35.172
00:04:35.492 --> 00:04:51.338
00:04:52.201 --> 00:04:55.007
00:04:55.007 --> 00:04:58.482
00:04:58.482 --> 00:05:03.983
00:05:03.983 --> 00:05:12.151
00:05:12.151 --> 00:05:25.170
00:05:25.170 --> 00:05:35.620
00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:38.346
00:05:38.346 --> 00:05:38.608
00:05:38.608 --> 00:05:41.122
00:05:42.204 --> 00:05:44.630
00:05:44.630 --> 00:06:01.240
00:06:01.541 --> 00:06:03.547
00:06:04.048 --> 00:06:08.809
00:06:09.339 --> 00:06:15.009
00:06:15.009 --> 00:06:23.442
00:06:23.442 --> 00:06:35.252
00:06:35.252 --> 00:06:46.625
00:06:46.625 --> 00:06:49.538
00:06:49.538 --> 00:06:52.829
00:06:52.829 --> 00:07:04.728
00:07:06.050 --> 00:07:14.692
00:07:14.692 --> 00:07:18.185
00:07:18.185 --> 00:07:23.843
00:07:25.427 --> 00:07:27.151
00:07:27.151 --> 00:07:35.670
00:07:35.670 --> 00:07:39.411
00:07:39.411 --> 00:07:40.781
00:07:40.781 --> 00:07:46.572
00:07:46.572 --> 00:07:55.024
00:07:55.766 --> 00:08:08.463
