1. Do not talk about your product or service. Talk about the buyer.

They do not care what it is. They care what they get.

And "what they get" must be specific. Feature language like "brand exposure" means nothing. Exposure to whom? How many views? How many leads? How many followers? How much revenue?

<aside> ⚠️

If you cannot put a number or a concrete noun on it, you have not said anything.

2. BTMIM: Book The Meeting In the Meeting

<aside> 📅

Every single call ends with the next call on the calendar. Every time. No exceptions.

"I'll follow up next week" is not a next step. A date and time is a next step.

</aside>

3. Never talk price on the first call

They do not understand the value yet. Any number you say will be judged against nothing.

Price belongs in the growth plan, after the value stack, after the transformation in their numbers.

4. Be obsessed with what they want, not with what you sell

The moment you fall in love with your own service, you start talking instead of listening, and you start selling features instead of outcomes.

<aside> 🎯

Stay obsessed with the destination they described. Your service is only interesting as the vehicle.
