Always Notice How You Were Sold

(aka the Easiest Way To Learn Persuasion)

A Thread on understanding how Sales is related to Emotions πŸ‘‡
>> Did you just 'Like' a Tweet?

Why?

β€’ Was it the message?
β€’ Or the way it was presented (structure+language)?
β€’ Was it because u know the author?
β€’ Or did it confirm any of your existing bias?
>> Did you buy something instantly?

Pause to think about how exactly u were persuaded to buy

β€’ Did they evoke FOMO by saying "low price today only"?
β€’ Did it come from a person you regard highly?
β€’ Did some recent new belief made u buy? ("spend money to earn money!")
>> See somebody giving a lot of value, but not selling anything?

Think hard how they could be making money

Eg: Facebook is free to use
"2.6 billion ppl use it. How can they run such a large site for free?"

Answer:
You, the user, are the product they are selling to advertisers!
>> Spend time listing all the Big Money Purchases u made in the past

Then try to remember why you bought them..

β€’ Was it social/peer pressure?
β€’ Was it because you were so hyped about getting fit and it somehow was around Dec/Jan of any year?
FIN!

This is the easiest way to learn Sales IMHO
You can find so many chances throughout your day to try this

Every experience (even any mistake) can be a great lesson if you look hard at it

Would love to hear your own examples of this! Share below

~~ A CASTLE IN THE JUNGLE - THE STORY ~~

πŸ‚πŸ¦ŒπŸ¦πŸŸπŸ¦

A Story in a Thread πŸ‘‡

(and its lessons in the next thread)
You’re dropped into the middle of a jungle. No contacts. No resources

The immediate reaction is to find a source of water to survive

You quickly take to a perch near a river and realize you need food as well
You observe the wild life taking notes and quickly devour anything edible in sight based on your observations. You may live another day

A few days pass and you catch wind of edible fish in the river. You don’t know how to fish.

1. $100K IS NOT A LOT OF MONEY

Not even close

If you are making $100K a year that's approximately $5,000 in post tax income per month
With the average rent for a studio in a major city like NYC at $2K+ this means that you cannot even afford to live there (using the 1/3 of income as rent rule, you need at least $6K post tax)

How do you work for the people you want to work with?

Or the story of Ekalavya

A Thread from personal experience πŸ‘‡
In the Indian Epic Mahabharatha there's the story of a guy called EKALAVYA who wants to learn archery from the greatest guru DRONA

The problem is Drona won't teach him

He was too busy teaching the Kaurava and Pandava bros who were the Royalty
This, however did not deter Ekalavya because nothing stops a determined man

He just made a statue of Drona and began self-learning archery while fully taking it in his mind that the statue is no different than the real Guru Drona himself

And master he did the art of Archery

Thread πŸ‘‡
1. PERFORMANCE IS FIRST

Most companies will have a handful of political elites, people hired solely because of their connections, but the cast majority get jobs by having the right credentials
If you want to have a long career, you cannot simply do an average job

You need to do work ahead of time that you believe will be handed to you during the next turn

In short as an entry level hire your job is to save the team time

"Persuasion Secrets of the World's Most Charismatic & Influential Villains"

by Ben Settle

(I'm reading about marketing and persuasion these days)

A Book Notes thread πŸ‘‡
"Villain" is used as a positive word here

A powerful man who can accomplish anything he sets his mind on, and is utterly despised, but cannot be touched by the scandalous authorities of the system is a Villain

(Clowns the Authorities are!)
The most powerful and persuasive Villains in the world, all possess one thing in common - It's Charisma

It means
"Compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others"

Charisma is the ultimate power one can desire for and hold on
