The Takeaway is such a powerful tool in your Chad Toolbox.

Clown Salespeople are always chasing.

The Chads say something intriguing that pulls the prospect in, and then BAM! drops the takeaway.

It’s all a game.

Here’s an example:
Prospect: Yeah we’re just not sure because you guys don’t have [feature X]

Chad: We do have [feature x] it’s just not publicly advertised anymore. we surveyed thousands of our users and they barely use it, but it feels like you’ve already made up your mind John

Prospect: Wait
Another example

Prospect: We still have concerns over x y z before moving forward

Chad: As much as we’d like your business we’ve been working on this deal twice as long as average and frankly I don’t have anymore time to spend figuring this out so we’ll have to pass on this
Ok fine one more example

Prospect: This looks really good

Chad: Happy to hear. I do have some concerns though. Our tool is quite powerful. You guys only have 5 marketers. I think we should just put you on the basic plan

Prospect: No we’ll manage with the medium plan

Lol

Did a consult the other day with someone whose actively interviewing at SaaS companies

He already got 2 offers from top tier companies (one of them got back to him a few days earlier than they said they would i.e they’re eager)

Here’s how I prepped him to nail the interviews 👇🏼
First off is anticipating the interview questions for sales roles.

Sales managers typically ask these types of questions to screen you:

1) Opinion questions
2) Behavioral questions
3) Competency questions
4) BS questions
1) Opinion questions

They’ll ask you what if / scenario questions like this:

What would you do if X
What’s your greatest weakness

Purpose is to see how you present your opinions in different scenarios

I believe there’s generally 3 reasons why someone is a low performer in sales:

1) Low Competence
2) High neediness
3) They don’t want to be there

Here’s how I would address the 3 👇🏼
Low Competence

Competence is the most important part of the Chad Triangle

It’s your ability to help your prospects get what they want

Here are some ideas:

- Develop a nasty talent stack by learning as much as you can about related topics to sales (Game, Marketing, etc)
- Talk to your existing customers regularly to learn more about how they’re using your product

- Subscribe to industry reports, events, and stay on top of changes (use Google Alerts, Crunchbase, etc)

- Learn from the best (the only “shortcut” I know of)

“BTSG how do I handle X objection?”

Round up your 3 most common objections and then bring it up in the beginning (after setting agenda during early stages of QA)

Here’s what you say:
“So, John, we’ve been solving this problem for years. Generally when speaking to executives like yourself, they’ll tell me their biggest concerns before moving forward with us. Usually sounds like this:

1) We don’t have X feature
2) More expensive
3) ~3 week implementation
Which if any of the following resonates most with you?”

Here’s a framework for how to answer personal questions on interviews such as:

“Tell me more about yourself”
“What are your greatest strengths/weaknesses?”

etc

It goes like this 👇🏼
Step 1

say: I’m an X person.

Examples:

I’m a self aware person
I’m a competitive person
I’m a curious person

These are positive big picture descriptions that Frame what comes next & tells them what to think of. Also gives you room to fill in the details to support the idea.
Step 2

Use Moral Authority Frame

say: and I know nobody is perfect. We all have things we need to work on. The ones i’ve identified are..

This Frames you as a morally competent individual and reasonable. Makes you more trustworthy when you can talk about the “landscape”

I used to work with a guy who refused to follow up with prospects.

Whenever you tell him he should follow up he would scoff and say “If they’re interested they’ll get back to me”

They never did.

I understand his thought process. He thinks he’s..
the one controlling the Frame by not chasing.

And it’s true, he is.

But that doesn’t mean it’s the most effective approach to getting results (closing deals)

You can do what you feel is right and still get poor results if it’s the wrong thing to do..
You have to learn the rules in order to “break” them

For example, Fortune is in the follow up. Prospects need multiple touch points in order to move forward with you.

And Humans need repetition (to see a message many times) before something sticks..

If you’re trying to network with someone, find out if they’re lacking in any (or all!) of these 3 areas:

1) Health
2) Wealth
3) Relationships

Then add value in any of those areas.

These are the 3 core Life areas & most people don’t have all 3 figured out.

How to do it? 👇🏼
1) Health

Some ideas:

- Give them advice on being healthier

- Gift them a paid subscription to @BowTiedOx

- Learn as much as you can about a specific health topic and write about it

The takeaway is add value so they see you as someone competent and worth meeting
2) Wealth

- Help people make money. Teach them useful skills to learn investing for example or how to be financially literate (@BowTiedBull)

- Uncover & share new LEGIT money making opportunities

- Find ways to help them grow their business (they might even hire you)
