How to read people.

6 key points to have an advantage.

// THREAD //
1. Eye movements; mind reflection

Avoid eye contact? They're shy, hiding something or feeling intimidated. Find out. Looking bottom right? Reflecting their feelings. Bottom left (disagreement), top right (lie/visualising), top left (remembering). Study eyes; know their thinking.
2. Body distance defines openness

They lean away? Negative response. Lean back too. Leaning in: You got their attention. Respect distance, or their first impression won’t be positive. “7% is what you say, 38% is how you say it and 55% is nonverbal communication”- Dan Lok.
3. Legs and arms; the silent words

Crossed arms? Protective. Playing with their hair? They want to impress. Bouncing legs (nervous/in a hurry), knees pointing away (want to get rid of you). Touch someones shoulder arm to show their importance. Silent words are power.
4. Study every room

When you walk into a situation, stop. Yes, stop and look around. Don’t talk. Analyse the surrounding, the people. Formal or casual? Quiet or loud? Become a mirror to the environment to build rapport; be yourself but adapt before you act.
5. Mirroring voice tonality

Screaming in a silent room? You will be either very liked or completely disliked. Mirror voice tonality and speed to build rapport. If they speak lowly/slowly, follow their path. Loud and fast speaking? Be energetic. Become their mirror.
6. Writing defines a personality

Long sentences? Struggles to explain/understand. WRITING LIKE THIS?!? Energetic, hyper. Short sentences: Calm and paused individual. You receive short emails? Go to the point, don’t waste time. People are what they write and how they write.
Whether it’s in sales, business, any relationship…

If you can read people, you have an advantage.

Sales Notepad: Created on July 14, 2020.

After selecting the brand name...

Google searched: “Yellow Notepad”.

And for the Twitter header…

There is a saying in sales: “Always be Closing”.

Googled it… And job done below.

This was the start so keep reading below.
After doing some thinking…

Question raised: “What is related to sales?”

Idea: “Oh, let’s put a $ on that Notepad”

Created a @crello account for adjustments and...

Boom, Sales Notepad logo result below.

How to avoid a burnout.

7 rules that will stop you from quitting.

// THREAD //
1. Have “Partners in Crime”

Invest time to find someone (or small team) that has the same goals. Push each other forward, in the good and in the bad. Someone that you trust and can be open/honest about new ideas or challenges. This person can be an online stranger. Make it fun.
2. Change environment

You don’t need to hop on a plane. Work from home? Then change rooms. Or go to cafes, libraries, etc. Being stuck in the same space for long periods reduces your creativity levels. Change your surroundings and your energy levels will change for the good.

5,000 Twitter friends with a Notepad in 80 days 📒

This will help you start building, even with a 9-5.

// THREAD //
1) The Invisible Work

There is always hidden work.

Work that no one sees; whether it’s years of:

- Scrolling social media in silence
- Experience in your 9-5
- Reading/writing every day
- Expertise in a field

Use your experience to start building.

2) Long-term Strategy

A plan without a vision is not a plan.

Think 12-months down the line, and reverse engineer.

- What do you want to achieve?
- How will you get there?

Break down your goals and monitor.

September goals (all achieved):

How they trick you to spend money.

5 strategies that trigger your mind to buy.

// THREAD //
1) The “Sale”

You enter a shop and T-shirt priced: $60

Thought: “Ah, nice but slightly expensive”.

This happens with any product out there.

But let’s say the next day…

Same t-shirt but this time “SALE – $60 instead of $90”

Different story; this urgency triggers the buy.
2) The “Up-sell”

You see 2 popcorn offers…

Or ice creams, smoothies, any product...

You are likely to choose the cheapest size.

But with 3 options?

Your mind is triggered to look at the middle size…

Or even go for the largest size.

The “rule of 3” changes everything.

The sincere real-life story of this Sales Notepad.

// THREAD //
Late teens and real life starts to hit you.

You are no longer a kid, but still not yet an adult.

“Get good grades”, “Go to college”, “Get a good job”.

The life story drawn into your mind from an early age.

Most fall for it, including Notepad.
Living in 6 countries during teenage years built character:

- Restarting life from zero
- Learning new ways of living
- Leaving people behind

You get strong; you learn not to quit.

A real-life challenge...

This marked the next 10 years for this Notepad; the 20’s..
