It's lovely to have you. Thank you so much and real honor to be on here and a lot of amazing guests before me, so I hope you're proud. Awesome. So let's kick it off, talking a little bit about your background. You used to work 12 hours a day in London

before you decided to start your own company and you also were a student who didn't do very well and you flunked out of your exams in high school and just barely gotten to college. So how did you end up leaving your traditional 9 to 5 and how did you become a superseller when you couldn't even really manage high school very well? Yeah, good points. The end part of work was already bad space where I was doing crazy hours every week and I really just knew it was time to move on and I think what it is is there's an interesting thread through my career and indeed this school and academia before that is that I've always tried

to do the best that possibly can and if I can't then I do something about it and that's kind of the trend if you like so I've flunked my exams at high school which meant I scraped into a very average university. My example of fixing that was that I then made sure I came top of the year at that university, passed that degree and then went to a really good university and got a degree from a great place so it was a top five university. So I was kind of my way of fixing it and then it was the same in the career. It was like, you know, you can't do 60 to 80 hour weeks and I was doing this for best part of a year at times. I really horrible, horrible space I was in and it was, you know, I had a difficult time because I had mortgages, cars, I had a wife and a young child as well.

So I had to kind of be responsible. But I backed myself and I knew that I could sell because that's something I've done so well in my career and all of my career has been different forms of selling roles and taking that with me. It was a case of saying, you know, I'm not gonna have this dialogue of can I do it? I hope it works out, let's hope it doesn't go wrong, it is happening, it's going to work, force it through, and I'm quite

aggressive with myself when I need to be in order to get the outcome I'm after I suppose, so I suppose your short version of that is, it doesn't matter if you stumble, get up and fix it, and that's very much my theme through my life I suppose. stumble, get up and fix it and that's very much my theme through my life I suppose. Of course so what do you do today? Tell us about your life. Today there's two main things I do in work and one is that I consult and coach businesses in London how to sell and it may be very high-ticket items so sometimes via figure or six figure deals and it's really exciting working in space. The face to face coaching is wonderful especially when you get that impact you know when someone comes to you and says

I've doubled my revenue this month because of those things you showed me that's really lovely to do. I'm spinning out of that hall I also do things like help people with their online engagements so LinkedIn and so on too and that's why I'm quite busy on there. But the other side of what I do which is my new baby since May last year in fact, it's almost a year or so that I've decided to do it is an events business running events called Entrepreneur Business Live started in London. Really simply they are networking events with everyone has speakers talking about wonderful things. We donate money to charity as well and it's just gone so well the community's really got behind it. So we're readying for Melbourne in Australia next week, got San Francisco next month, we just had New

York last week, it's just going crazy, some loving those two things and if I may there is a third thing it's I spend as much time as possible with my two beautiful daughters. Oh that's cute. So you started after college working a corporate job and then you transitioned to become an entrepreneur. So what was that thought process like? Why did you decide to kind of take the plunge and did you start it as a side hustle or did you cut your day job cold turkey? Yeah, so I'm very lucky in a way. My first job in 2002 was actually selling internet marketing. So it was a long time ago and people

like really the internet, but I really learned how to back myself. And what it meant was that when it came to taking the plunge about 10 years later, I was able to say, you've got this, go do it. And so I went cold turkey. And as I was drawing to a close of my corporate jobs, some people were asking me to do some offline consulting. But rather than transitioning and doing it part-time I was like let's go all in and you can just go for it and in fact my first thing

other than a bit of consulting was I launched two Taikwondo academies because I'd been coaching that in London for a while and I thought maybe this is something to start with and you know to answer your question directly the thought process was one born of perspective I'd had had a very, very hard year before that. I'd lost two very close family members, and when my daughter was born, she almost died a lot. And we actually lived literally in the hospital for three months. So I was commuting to London from there. So very hard time. And you've probably seen this more than most

in your interviews on your podcast, is that out of adversity often come new perspectives on the world. I just stop, you know what I mean? I stopped moaning and complaining or looking for pity and started fixing stuff and just being a bit more grateful about where I was in my life. I'm very able-bodied.

I have the capability to do great things, I think, and so I was like, this is good for it, and it's a nice thing when you know you've got responsibility as well, because it means you don't drop the ball, because I'm accountable to a family as well as just to myself. So, I had all the right motivations, and I just wanted to make sure that I made the most of my life when some people weren't able to, they were kind of snuffed out early. So I don't want to go too deep on that if you don't need me to, but that was important for me. Yeah, that's amazing and congrats on all your success. So let's get into the crux of your expertise. You are known to be an incredible seller. Do you think that great sales people are born or made. I think they are made. I really do. I don't think they're born.

I think there are circumstances that can happen to people. And to be fair, as opposed it's kind of been in my DNA that I've often looked for angles on things. When I was like 13, I built my first computer and sold it for £100 and I was a bit of a nerd and I did like 13, I built my first computer and sold it for a hundred pounds and I was a bit of a nerd and I did like the taste of like trying to look for the angle and how I make a close on something but I do feel that people are made and it's exposure to scenarios where you might need to sell that get you comfortable in doing it. Both my degrees are in history, not in business, right? I didn't do an entrepreneurship course or anything like that. I just had time on the pitch and the reason why I believe that selling is

something you learn is that although I had personality traits that might have helped a bit, I was always a very shy and introverted person, not the classical skill set you'd expect in someone who's selling, right? And the first job was one where I had to sell, because otherwise I hadn't got enough money. And my mother was very much the kind of person who pushed me. She said after university, you're not coming home by the way, you need to go and get a job. And I didn't get funding for a PhD, so I had to find a job. And the first one I went for was simply a phone-based

selling job. And so I went, okay, let's try this then. And it's not that I had sales in my DNA. I had not being allowed to quit in my DNA. And I think that has helped me. But in terms of the nuances and how I got good at selling, it's just making sure I had that contact time. You couldn't get me off the phone because I needed to crack it and

Spending money on books or on courses and things like that and very much a student of it as opposed to Someone who's had it intrinsically built into me as I was born. So what are some of the skills that people should try to hone if They're trying to improve their selling like what is it that they should try to hone if they're trying to improve their selling. Like, what is it that they should try to learn? Yeah, really good question. It sounds cliché, but often the clichés are true, selling is a people's sport. And that's never been more true than in 2019. People hate being sold to.

They hate being gained. The feeling of being gained. Imagine, think about all those ads you see on your mobile or when you're on Facebook. It really winds you up a bit. So people need to feel a little bit more like it's an organic process. People love to buy, though. And what you need to do is position yourself as someone who can offer value to sufficiently relevant and enough people that some people then pick themselves off and buy. And the skills really are grounded in interpersonal skills.

So for me as an introvert, as a shy person to start with, someone who naturally wouldn't be able to open people up, the way to do it was have contact time. And I started by doing on the phone. I strongly advise anyone in this kind of space to make sure they network at least once a month. I actually do a lot of work now with Shine Introverted People and helping them kind of learn

those first steps and just exposure to people who might be interested parties or just simply other people is essential. Sitting behind your keyboard is a dangerous place to be because you're losing touch with those nuances and subtleties that actually are quite valuable when it comes to selling. And I think from there, you can learn structure, you can learn a process of selling,

but really if you get people, you hone the empathy side. And being able to see things from their perspective and therefore reacting away that the prospect would like is where success lies at the moment in my opinion. So you just mentioned a lot about getting that personal contact and based on some of the research that we've done, I see that you're still a champion of cold calling despite that it has a reputation of a method that's really going out of style, I personally hate when people call me. Absolutely, yeah. So tell me why do you still encourage it? Well the short answer is because a lot of people still use it and pay me to help them with it and I think that doesn't mean that I'm championing

something I don't believe in. The good thing about it is that there are ways in which you can separate yourself from those who give it a bad name. There is a right way of doing co-calling. And what we've got to be is really clear here, if you're starting a business and you have no inbound traffic, if you haven't done content creation, if you've got no one who's warm as a lead, you have to go and manually close people and learning how to open people up in a way that isn't irritating or parasitic is really wonderful because it allows you to move process along nice and swiftly. But again, when it comes down to is how to really understand the position, the mindset of that person who is cold, from whom you

learnt nothing and how you're going to relate to that person the first few seconds and it's all about sharing great wins for them rather than sounding cliche or like some kind of game show host just a little bit of well-placed research and doing it right means that you can warm them up and probably the best bit of advice is if you can find someone who it has a mutual contact of yours or where you have something in common then everyone knows sure you know this person's probably calling me to sell something but at least you've got something in common or something to work off do you see what I mean so you know for instance when I first spoke to you before

we recorded this podcast I saw that you lived in Brooklyn and you know my sister had lived there for a few years, even something on that high level is just at least something to break the ice. I'm a big fan of it because it can get your results in the moment. Something like Facebook ads can be really effective but that might take you a lot longer and a lot of the sales methods out there are softer and more fulfilling in the stimulating sense, but they need a lot more runway, you know. Do I call, call no? I don't, I use inbound, but for those who still use it, I think it can be applicable, but only if you recognize that it is dying because mostly people are irritated by it if you do it wrong. Yeah, cool, great advice. I like your perspective. Thank you. So let's talk about having the right pitch. Yeah, cool, great advice. I like your perspective. So let's talk about

having the right pitch. So in sales, I know that having the right pitch and kind of earning someone's attention is very important. So what's your recipe for that? Yeah, there's a nice little formula I often give people. There's lots of different ways of doing it, but if people are taking hopes, then it is something along the lines of wins plus peer or mutual equals interest straight away. And just to explain that, a win is like a some kind of a benefit for that person. It's an explanation of the fact that you might be able to help them look good, make money, save money, save time, something along those lines. The problem is that on its own is met with cynicism, right? It's, you know, we're skeptical about someone who says,

Hey, I can make you lots of money. What's known is the big fact claim. And it doesn't work. And now you sound like everyone else who calls. But if you combine that with a person or a contact or a connection or a business that has got the buy-in of that prospect, then you're in a better place. So what I'm saying is if I was to cold call you,

Huller and say, hi, can I sell you something? It doesn't work. If I say hi, I'd like to sell you something that can get you this win, it can help save you time. It probably still won't work because I've not earned the right, you're not willing to buy into me, I've gotta earn that right first. If I was to become the messenger and position this

from a different perspective of maybe someone you know, so if I was to mention one of your team that I've worked with, but if I said something like, you know, hi, you don't know me, but I've worked with Timothy Tan, your business development manager, okay? And Timothy and I've worked together for two years and I've been helping save him a lot of time with his business leads. I just love to take a couple of minutes, grab a

coffee with you to speak about it. I'm validated by proxy through Timothy Tan. You've gone through the pain of working out if he's a crazy guy or if he's alright and if I'm good enough for him then by proxy I'm good enough for you. see what I mean and it's yeah and what it is is it's taking cues from the offline world because you wouldn't sell to someone in the part of the first time you meet them what you do is you ask them how they're doing and it's a little bit awkward but if you had a mutual contact my goodness it's easy and it's just funny because the evidence of this working is staring everyone in the face. When you went to the last wedding you attended the person sitting next to you at that table was the first thing you asked so how do you know the bride or

groom you know and you laugh and joke about what they did at university or how crazy they were on their stag do or whatever and the reason why you can do that and you open up and the Barriers dropped because you have that mutual connection. So if they're good enough for one of us They must be good enough for the other. Do you see what I mean? Yeah, so leveraging that benefit in the win great Good for you. You're talking about how the product can help but none believes it because we've been conditioned against it nowadays But when it's attached to someone or a person that we believe in and we trust, then it goes a long way. And the thing is, even if you don't have a mutual connection, you could use a business that's well known. And that's why, for example, the

Star Wars franchise, if they release a film that's terrible, everyone goes watch as it's still, not because the film might be good or not, it's because it's a Star Wars film and there's a bunch of fans. It's the same principle, you know, so you can leverage a brand that's well known, and of course you can leverage people that are connected. And so that little extra bit of research, you know, can go a long way. Cool, so then how do we switch from this relationship building to then selling our actual product. Yeah, I think this is an important part is that people have this issue of connecting with people, building a network, even a community, and they're like, how do I pivot that into a monetized moment? The way you do it is you're looking for what's known as a queue.

Okay, so a queue is like a complement or some form of engagement from that person that suggests that you're being useful. So if I focus on them, if I focus on giving them some wins and talking about how I've helped Timothy Tan and all the a few anecdotes or war stories, that might help a bit but what I need to do is get you talking so ask some questions along the lines of if you think that might be useful and if I get any form of Positivity from you then that's you Essentially saying you've earned the right Richard to now ask me something and that's the point where I can say

Do you know I really think I could help you? Would you like to explore what that might look like and you don't have to be pushy? You just simply have to position it in front of someone who's receptive. And if someone's not receptive, work harder at that front end of building rapport and taking your time and opening up with more questions. And then there was a lot of the techniques, but that's a really important part is kind of being a bit more patient. Don't try and hard pivot into, right now let me talk about my thing. Try and have it more conversational and again that's what people would prefer these days. So like what's an example of a cue that your prospect would give you? Totally and this is how I started doing online consulting.

I would open 20 new conversations per day when I started out and I would start them on Facebook Messenger and I would just get engaged with people to have a chat talk about things we had in common. I would make sure I, you know, maybe in the same group or something, and we'd talk about what we did because you naturally do, and for some of them, they might ask something about what I do, and then I would give them a bit of value

and some ideas, and I'd say, do you know what I'd never looked at it that way? Oh wow, that's really inspiring, or oh my God, that's a really good way of putting it Richard. And what it is is, if you're genuinely good at what you do, or if you have a product that genuinely can help, then that will come through,

and that earns you the right to get these compliments. And that compliment is the moment when that person saying, you know what, you've earned now the opportunity to ask me something, and that ask is, would you like to explore a bit more or even something like back then I would say, well look, I know I can help you here. Thanks so much for that compliment.

I know I can help you here. Why don't we hop on a call and or why don't we meet up or something like that and there's no pressure because I'm not gonna win with every single one but it's about exploring those things and no need for pressure at all, just simply keep them feeling good. The advice I give to those who are nervous about this

or lack a bit of confidence is no problem, go for the second queue. And by the time you get the second queue, it's like, okay, that person is screaming out now, okay, I really think you're great and valuable so now's the time. And you know what, if you don't get the queue, so work harder, so be more useful.

And if you screw it up, well, then that's that. Try again with someone else. And I think being cool with the fact that you're not going to win them all is important as well. Speaking of that, you have an interesting story about a customer in one of your Taekwondo academies. Yes. And you talk about how they're not your highest paying customer but they're great advocates of your business

And they earn you a lot of income indirectly and you still say that people who don't buy from you Still have an opportunity to become your advocate So can you explain that principle on how we can leverage it? This is so important nowadays a customer is no longer a single entity It really is and someone who doesn't buy is not a lost cause. If I look at my profile on LinkedIn, it will say, this many thousands of people have viewed your profile this month and they haven't all converted to sales but plenty of them stick and turn into something. And it was the same with

this customer. She was paying a lower level of subscription to my type-on to Academy, this is a few years back. And she loved it so much. She was never gonna buy more because she was a mom, she had children, she wasn't gonna attend more classes. But because she loved it so much, she told her friends. And the thing I'll remember, especially on 9 is, if you do something good for a single person,

they might share your stuff amongst loads in their network. I've got people who have followed my live Q&A's for almost three years now since they started. I've got some of them who are broke and they would never buy a thing, right? But they share everything, they love everything, they do everything they can because they love being part of the ecosystem. And so building those advocates are essential because everyone has a network nowadays. If you post something about me online, some of your network who've never heard of me will see me and that's why even though doing something like a podcast isn't something

you necessarily get paid for, it's worth doing because there are more people than just you hearing me speak. Do you see what I mean? So, thinking about that network's essential. Cool. So, the next question is really to calibrate for those who may not be so familiar with sales. I've got listeners who do all different kinds of things. So, can you describe one of your sales funnels for any of your businesses just to like walk

through what a sales funnel is and kind of give a A live example the concept is really simple imagine the shape of a funnel You obviously the bottom being the thinner part at the bottom of the funnel is where your customers drop out At the very top it's wider to receive a volume of people and that's crucial at the start So what you need to do at the beginning of your sales funnel is create something that's going to attract a mass, so a large number of ideally fairly relevant people. From that set of fairly relevant people, they'll go through a number of hoops or jump through a number of gates and the consumer number of types of content or whatever it might be and move to a place where less and less of them come through, but ultimately there's a

piece of business or whatever conversion you're after. So an example of that, I'm going to use this one because this is one that everyone can do, is one that is free, okay? And that's using the power of your social media platforms. And the best organic traffic online in 2019 is on LinkedIn, it's better than Facebook and Instagram and so on, it is LinkedIn right now. So as a content platform, if you post a piece of content and you do it the right way in terms of working or community and connecting with contacts and showing appreciation by engaging

with those who write comments and so on, what happens is you're leveraging one of the most useful parts of human psychology, which is curiosity. Human curiosity is so powerful. It's the reason why peak cars slow down when there's an accident at the other side of the road. People can't help themselves, they have to look. It's the reason why when you meet someone in the bar, when you go home, you check out their Facebook to see what they're really like, or when you meet someone in business, you when you go home, you check out their Facebook to see what they're really like,

or when you meet someone in business, you have a look at their LinkedIn profile. So just by being interesting and of value and having something to say in your space, it means that people, as I call it, they come into orbit around you. You're providing a sense of gravity against a topic. At the top of your funnel,

it's essentially that you have some sense of pure signal that you're gonna put out. So maybe for me, for instance, I'll talk a lot about how to generate engagement online, because that's one of my sweet spots or how to do well on LinkedIn or how to sell, for instance, just tips and ideas. More people will check that out than anything else,

but some of them, because they can't help help themselves and that's because they're people, they will say, who's this Richard guy? Some will say I don't care and they'll move on, no problem, but some will say, let's just click on his link, now they're on my profile. So that's a step further down the funnel, and then a few of them will look through the actual information. Oh look, he's got this basics of sales course, or they'll click on my website from my information. So you might have 4,000 people look at a piece of content, 570 look at the profile, then 89 go to my website,

16 look at the landing page for basics of sales and then four buy it. And that might seem like terrible numbers, but do that every day. And you soon move to a wonderful place where people like you invite people like me onto podcasts. That's great. Thanks for that advice. So let's move on to some of the pitfalls of sales. What are some big mistakes that people typically make and how can we avoid them?

I didn't have to worry about my website and how I was going to collect payments and how I was going to trigger abandoned cart emails and all these things that Shopify does for me was just a click of a button even setting up my chat bot was just a click of a button. It was so easy to do. Like I said, I just took a couple of days. And so it just allowed me to focus on my actual product and

making sure my LinkedIn masterclass was the best it could be. And I was able to focus on my marketing. So Shopify really, really helped me make sure that my masterclass was going to be a success right off the bat and enabled focus. And focus is everything when it comes to entrepreneurship. With Shopify single dashboard, I can manage my orders and my payments from anywhere in the world. And like I said, it's one of my favorite things to do every day is check my Shopify dashboard. It is a rush of dopamine to see all those blinking lights around the world showing me where everybody is logging on on the site. I love it. I highly recommend it. Shopify is a platform that I use every single day and it can take your business to the next level. Sign up for a $1 per month trial period

Again, that Shopify.com Sush Profiting, Shopify.com Sush Profiting all lowercase. This is possibility powered by Shopify. One of the biggest issues is also to do with being a human is that you have to manage your head and to start with a very emotional thing because you invest a lot in it. And ultimately, you might be selling a product for the right reason. My events raise money for charity and I'm really doing my best to educate and help people.

But ultimately, there is a money component there as well that I'm trying to sell. And, you know, if you don't get a sale, it can really hurt you, especially if it's a big one you've worked on and so on. So, a way in which you can handle this is to recognize that you won't win them all. You simply don't. I'm really fortunate that I've worked with some of the greatest salespeople, some that make huge amounts of money and for all of them, none of them are

infallible. They make mistakes and you've got to kind of be at peace with the fact that they're not always going to go your way. And the best way to hack that, well there's kind of two ways. One is to have enough prospects in what's known as your pipeline, enough people you're speaking to that it doesn't really matter if you lose some, you know? It's like that thing.

If you win the lottery, it doesn't matter if you lose $50, right? If you only have $50 in the world, now it really matters. So it's the same here. Another prospect helps you a lot. And the other thing as well is harder, but it's so essential, is ironically don't focus on the money so much. Focus on doing a really good job. And I know this might sound cheesy, but if you look at the reason why you're really doing it, look at the reason,

you know, the reason why the person at the other end of the desk or phone might be wanting to buy, like, what's the relationship or outcome they might be after? Do it for good reasons, and you'll end up, you know, focusing on the reason why someone should be involved rather than your deal and your money. And ultimately, the reason why I feel I do well in sales now is because I'm of course I'm interested in closing things but at the same time I'm patient and some people will be a deal or a sale within 10 minutes and some people will take months you know and that's cool and as long as you have enough then you have the

fun of engaging with different levels of people that take different amounts of time. So just try it to not focus on just making money all the time, focus on doing a great job and have enough prospects out there that it is okay and you can be patient. I can hold my breath forever. I mean that if someone's like no, or, you know, they don't buy for a long time, I'm okay with it because you have alternatives and that's not the point anyway. I suppose what I'm saying is I enjoy the process of engaging with people and if they turn into deals then that's wonderful. And it's kind of a nicer, organic way of selling, right?

So do you like keep tabs on how many meetings or conversations you have with each person? I know that in the past you've mentioned it takes six to eight meetings for a cold prospect before they can turn into a sale So is there a point where you're like this is just a waste of time and I can't talk to you anymore Or do you just keep it going? Yeah, it's a really good question because the more you move towards corporates and businesses Then all I want to audit that kind of thing and I get that on average and businesses and all they want to audit that kind of thing and I get that. On average, it's six to eight touch points or points of contact on average that it takes to engage someone and that might be messages, that might be meetings, it depends on what you're selling,

I suppose. I don't as much. What that number is, is a reflection of the reality of how many times you'll probably be in touch with someone in some form or other, but in terms of taking a note of it, I don't tend to do it so much because it's organic. Some things you can be robotic about, some things you should say to yourself as I did, how many people am I starting new conversations with each day, so that you don't think a day is going really well because you had a nice chat with someone, but you feel like a day is going really well because you had 10 nice chats with people and that's one of your kind of points of focus. But I do do my best to remember that when I'm in a process with someone, it's now down to the individual. So, doing a piece of business with you will be different to doing a piece of business

with our celebrity Timothy Tan. So, it might be that he takes six months, he might have been burnt in the past. It might be that he's just closed a big deal and is feeling really flush and I think forgetting certain things like that is a good idea. Work with the person in front of you. You can nudge and you can create urgency but ultimately you need to feel or they need to feel like they are kind of in control of the agenda to degree. Otherwise, they're being backed into a corner and again, then they feel like they're being sold to. Another mistake in sales is that sometimes people

really focus on the product. Like what's so cool about the product and they forget about the customer needs and what the customer is trying to solve. So do you have any tips on how we can uncover what a prospect is actually trying to solve? This is absolutely huge. I'm thrilled to pull this out

because this is something that's so overlooked. It's so overlooked, especially by the kind of solo printer and start-up space. And the reason why they overlook it is because they are in love with their baby which is the product that been polishing and they really want everyone to love it and so naturally they want to evangelize about all the little bells and whistles but the fact is that no one cares that the answer to your point is so fundamental to good selling and is also the reason it's sales people

can have a very bad name. And it's because the product, this might sound crazy, but the product doesn't matter at all. If you look at it and I think surveys have been done, the suggestion is that the reason why someone buys something is relevant to the product to about 10%. The rest is about the connection.

So if I take a perfect example, something you might have like an iPhone. The iPhone is the device. You don't buy an iPhone. You buy looking good. The reason why you don't have a blackberry is that it's not cool right now. People buy an iPhone because it makes a statement of, I have an $800 phone and I'm part of a tribe and I buy into the values of Apple. And you buy things because as a human they make you look or feel good.

They make you money. They save you money perhaps. They save you time. That's the reason why we buy stuff. The reason why people buy a Ferrari isn't to buy the Ferrari, they buy that device because it makes them look good, feel successful and probably get more attention from people. And that's what you're actually buying. And there's a very famous marketer called Seth Goden, who says that the product

is the souvenir of that process of buying these outcomes. So in practical terms, what we need to be doing is remembering that if the product is just the device for someone to get these wins, as I've called them, so looking good, making money, whatever, and everything does genuinely reduce down to those base things, then what we need to do is focus on those outcomes for that person. So like I suggested in the example earlier, if I talk to you about how I've helped Timothy Tan save time, look good in not so many words, more of an elegant way, and

make money, then that's compelling. If I talk about a product and how it works and whatever screen size it has and stuff like that, that's just boring, because people don't care, unless you're part of a very, very small minority of people who are buying something for a particular set of product reasons. But in the main, it's about giving someone a set of outcomes, being a great connection as well.

And so being someone who's cool and that's trustworthy and builds familiarity, and the product is, as I say, it's simply the device. I know it sounds crazy, but if you break it down to looking at the psychology and behavior, that's actually why we buy stuff. Very cool. I loved all that advice.

So let's move on to social selling. It's something you were mentioning before. Yeah. Everyone's trying to do it but not many people get it right. So what are the types of habits that we need to build into our social media strategy and how do we actually convert engagement into leads? So to handle the first part, I have kind of a process I use called the Care Process C-A-R-E, which I developed many years ago, and it's just a really solid way of getting it right. So C stands for consistency, which means you need to show up, you know, each day, in a number of ways,

both in terms of content, but also in terms of with the community, and community is far more important than content. Far more. It's about the people that are in your network and keeping them warm and people who will advocate for you. It's dropping them at DM every so often or seeing how they're doing or checking into their content and supporting them and so on. So being consistent in that sense, A is for abundance because you could be consistent

and shut with one piece of content once a month, but that's not going to be enough because there is a thing called an algorithm, plus also you drop off people's radar, right? So a level of frequency that's going to help you, for instance, LinkedIn, I post about once,ish a day, so maybe four or five times a week is all I do, but at least that's enough that I don't drop off people's radar, So that kind of level of abundance is important. And cumulatively across a day, I might spend between an hour and an hour and a half

in that abundance space, engaging with people's comments and on their posts and things like that. And art is for relevancy. You'll see there aren't any videos of cats playing xyler phones because that would be a bit confusing, right? You need to put out the kind of pure signal about what it is you do. And so, if you look at when people create lists, here's a guy I know who does this kind of thing, people always talk about online engagement and sales, and now increasingly talk about the events I do,

because that's the pure signal they get from me. If someone wants to speak to someone about finance they don't actually think of me because there's no content suggesting that. So you need to keep that clarity and that constant pure signal about what it is you do, relevancy is huge and then the ease of care is engagement and this is one of the areas where people fail the most and this is answering your second part which is how you get conversion from you know from connections into leads. The engagement is everything so many people post and run you know so many people post and leave it at that. Some people even post and

check in and and they see they get a few likes and comments and don't engage, the game is in the comments and the community. Your content will not do the selling. The content is the gravity to get people into orbit around you. And if you don't validate their decision to like or comment or even share your stuff by giving something back such as a meaningful comment in return. They just won't show up again. And I've used this analogy before, it sounds a bit awful, but if a dog does a trick, you give them a treat, right?

So it's the same here. If someone shows up for you and writes, wow, I loved this post. This is really useful to not give them something to validate that decision. It's absurd it's almost rude right so give them a meaningful comment back. That engagement is the reason why people will then show up again and again it's algorithmic but it's also your your treating them well making them feel good and it's like wow the person who did this content is now writing me a comment back. So don't write, thanks. Write, that's really kind of you, thanks very much.

Maybe chuck them a DM, go crazy. When you're starting out, this is what I first did. My first ever bits of content. If someone dared like it, I would send them a message and say thank you for liking it. And a lot of people overlook that, like, oh, I've just got a few likes, I've got no leads.

It's like, no man, likes are leads. They're sitting are sitting like they've just got to go and warm them up. So what people need to do, and this is the mistake, I think, is that you need to come down from your throne, go into the people who are spending some time on your stuff, and have some kind of discourse with them. Do that every day, and then people will start showing up for you and then they will convert and the nice thing is that they convert themselves a lot of the time. They feel familiar and again this is a human thing, familiarity is where trust is bred and trust is the thing you have to get if anyone's going to ever convert to a call an opt-in or a sale of something. So the game really is that community. And doing it really right in 2019 is beyond comments and conversations and threads in your content. It's over on other people's

as well. You know? Yeah, that's amazing. I think you brought up so many good points and personally through my podcast. The only reason why my podcast has become successful is because I grew a community on LinkedIn. And everybody shares my content, I have advocates, and it's so important to build that community and take the time to get to know people all across the world. Like you said, step off your throne and take some time to get to know the people who are supporting you. Yeah, and as a human, by this age, we're intuitive enough.

You can tell people are wasting your time so fine, you leave them alone a bit. But in the main, if you do this, what happens is you're not just warming a community, you're warming your distribution platform. And that's not linked in, it's actually the people. And that's why some people will share everything you ever do, that's why some people will always see you

top of feed, they will be following you, they'll follow your hashtag, or whatever it is, and they will show up every single time. And that's so essential, again, kind of to the point I've made a bit earlier, because it's not that individual anymore. It's not, it's the individual and 725 people of their network who are now seeing it as well. And so what you're doing is you're really cultivating a set of people who are showing up for you. And that's how you build momentum behind a product like your podcast. And that's why, for instance, in January, our first New York event, they've just signed themselves up, you know. And when they arrived, it was the

community that had been built online and they were hugging each other at a business networking event. Think about it. Normally a business networking event is an awkward, here's my business card What do you do kind of thing? But instead it was like a reunion as a party of people who are really close and that's this recurring theme we're seeing with all of the events because we're building a community and giving them an event. In the same way, is your building a community and giving them a podcast, not the classic way of building a podcast and hoping you can get people to come and listen to it? It's far better doing it the other way, isn't it? Mm-hmm. Okay, so last question on sales before we move to productivity and entrepreneurship. I heard your sales go down in the DMs. You kind of mentioned it earlier.

So tell me about some strategies you use with your direct messaging. Yeah, it comes back to this thing of patience and it's funny, I was sort of someone earlier with an advert on Facebook talking about their secrets. It's like there's no secrets, volume and empathy and patience are just that all you need to be doing really. So remember that everyone's different show keenness in them, dare to do nine seconds of research on someone's profile. A really good technique here is with the DMs, look at the last piece of content someone did. You know, oh two days ago you wrote a piece of content on this thing and and I often won't go to a DM first. I won't even go to a connection request first. I will go to their content. I will engage with them a bit. I'll write something meaningful. Maybe tag a friend and bring them over because now I've got the attention of the person

who created that content. And then if you think about it, if you do that a couple of times, when you then send a connection request and say, hey, we've been chatting on your content, thought we should connect, you always get accepted. And again, then you can just talk, find out about that person. And I really think this organic manual way, not really using bots is the way to do it, especially with higher ticket offerings, kind of a bit of making a relationship with someone,

it is really important. The move from that DM conversation to a conversion comes back to that idea of the cure again and you're looking for that, but it might be that it never happens. And so that's fine, that's why you have plenty of conversations. And this is fun, right? You get to engage with new people every day.

There's no better way of selling now than when you engage with new people. It's tremendously stimulating. Awesome. Well, so many takeaways for all of you guys to try to implement. Let's move on to productivity because you seem like a very productive person. Thank you. You have a counterintuitive approach to productivity that you explain through an analogy of a greyhound race. One where one of the grey hounds is actually chained. Can you tell us about this example, how you've applied it, and how our listeners can apply

it to their projects? I will be honest, I don't remember that analogy, but I do write a lot. So maybe you feel me in it, and I will try and remember. Yeah, so basically, I think there was some sort of a Greyhound race. One of them is chained up, and it basically bottled up all his energy so that when he was unchained he kind of like beat everybody in the race. Yeah. Yeah, fam.

If you're ready to take your business to new heights, break through to the six or seven figure mark or learn from the world's most successful people, look no further because the Kelly Roach show has got you covered. Kelly Roach is a best-selling author, a top-ranked podcast host, and an extremely talented marketer.

Kelly is an inspirational entrepreneur, and I highly respect her. She's been a guest on YAP.

She was a former social client. She's a podcast client, and I remember when she came on Young & Profiting and she talked about her conviction marketing framework, it was like mind blowing to me. I remember immediately implementing what she taught me in the interview in my company and the marketing efforts that we were doing. And as a marketer, I really, really respect all Kelly has done. All Kelly has built in the corporate world. Kelly secured seven promotions in just eight years, but she didn't just stop there. She was working in 95 and at the same time

she built her eight figure company as a side hustle and eventually took it and made it her full-time hustle. And her strategic business goals led her to win the prestigious Inc. 500 award for the fastest growing business in the United States. She's built an empire. She's earned a life-changing wealth.

Tune into the Kelly Road Show, available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you

listen to podcasts. Hey, yaap fam! As you may know, I've been a full-time entrepreneur for three years now. Yet media blew up so fast, it was really hard to keep everything under control, but things have settled a bit, and I'm really focused on revamping and improving our company culture. I have 16 employees, so it's a lot of people to try to rally and motivate, and I recently had best-selling author Kim Scott on the show. And after previewing her content in our conversation, I just knew I had to take her class on master class, tackle

the hard conversations with radical candor to really absorb all she has to offer. And now I'm using her radical candor method every day with my team to give in solicit feedback, to cultivate a more inclusive culture, and to empower them with my honesty. And I can see my team feeling more motivated and energized already. They are really receptive to this framework and I'm so happy because I really needed this class. With Masterclass, you can learn from the best to become your best, anytime, anywhere, and at your own pace.

And we all know that profiting in life doesn't just mean thriving in business. With Masterclass, you can brush up on your art skills or your cooking skills, or even your modeling skills. With over 180 classes from a range of world class instructors, that thing you've always wanted to do better is just a few clicks away. On masterclass, you'll find courses from many app all-star guests like Chris Voss and Daniel Pink. I've been taking their sales and negotiation classes and I've been feeling like a real shark lately. I've totally leveled up my sales skills. How much would it cost you to take a one-on-one class from the world's best? A lot. But with masterclass annual memberships, it just cost you $10 a month.

I have to say the most surprising thing about masterclass since I started this incredible journey on the platform is the value. For the quality of classes, instructors, the platform itself is beautiful, the videos are super high quality, you can't beat it. Gain new skills in as little as 10 minutes on your phone, your computer, tablet, smart TV, and my personal favorite way to learn is their audio mode to listen on the go. That way, I can multitask while I learn. Get unlimited access to every class.

And right now as the app listener, you can get 15% off when you go to masterclass.com slash profiting. That's masterclass.com slash profiting for 15% off an annual membership masterclass.com slash profiting. Okay. One thing I can say is that there's a lot of sense. If you want to be productive in doing two things One is counterintuitive, one is to make sure that you're taking time out

Which seems weird because like being productive people think it means you're actually getting on with your work But actually you can be more productive what it is is that if you hold yourself back From doing things you start getting that kind of hunger, especially if it's against something that you want to do. Another analogy to make things more easy to digest is imagine I put a piece of gorgeous chocolate in front of you. You can eat it right away,

but imagine what happens if you don't allow yourself to eat it for an hour, you just sit there smelling it and looking at it, and there's this marvelous build-up of suspense. When you are finally allowed to eat it, you're going to gobble that thing up. And so there's something really exciting, I think, in stewing over how you're about to launch at something. So jumping all the time isn't necessarily practical because sometimes you can really hack at your own motivation and a good way of doing this is because you can have that time out and it allows you to recharge sure but it also allows you to get yourself charged up on the start line again in ready to kind of run at something.

In a few weeks time I'm running an event in San Francisco and part of that trip will be visiting my sister who lives now over there and a vineyard we invested in recently and just generally spending some time for that a week just chilling out being a bit off-grid It will allow me to kind of think and theorize about what I'm gonna do, but it will also Build up that kind of sense of I really want to get back at it And you know you get that kind of that hunger goes deeper as well. So that's a really important thing The other thing I was going to add is that when you are in it doing it, productivity is essential. So you think about how you're going to be

efficient during a day and how you're going to be mindful and intentional because a lot of people are very good at being busy but not necessarily being productive. And last year there was an article in Forbes that covered this concept I brought up very kindly called the When to Do List. Because I felt that to do list it's a recipe for a disaster. It's a list of things you notionally would like to complete but never do. The When to Do list is simply taking it a step further. It's not just what you want to do, but you assign a time to it. So if I'm in my office there are set times for everything and I build into my day, not just meetings or podcasts with you, it will be also at this time until this time go and have tea with my wife or go and play with the children and people might think oh wow that's really soulless rich, rich in're scheduling time with your children. But the reason why I win by doing it this way

is because if you say things like, oh, I'll go and play with my children when I've done this work, or I'll go to the gym at some point today, stuff it ever gets done. But if you make it mandatory, as much as it's important to breathe in and out or go to a certain business meeting,

it's spending that hour with my children, or it's going to the gym this morning at six o'clock, those things are as manatee, stuff gets done and you know there's no dead time then there's no kind of slippage and it moves you from this ridiculous concept of work and life and you make it into one big fun thing where you kind of weave the two together and everything's nicely scheduled. So very productive because I'm intentional about how I run the day. Very cool and I'm totally on the same page. It's all about scheduling your time, blocking out your time, being very dedicated. Awesome. So last question before we go, you have a monetize you course where you say you're so convinced this course will generate income for your clients that you guarantee at least two paying customers within two weeks of completing the lessons and

you actually offer to give their money back if you don't make good on your promise. Yes, with the caveat that you actually have to do what it says. It's not like magic gift, but yes, 100%. Of course, of course. I hope you took the money back if it didn't work and no one's ever done that. Yeah, and I had Mike win it on my show who is a really interesting guest I don't know if you've heard of him. He's the UK's number one demotivational speaker And he uncovers Contrapreneurs so people who make false promises and pray on those who lack skills like motivation or fall through you don't seem to be a Contrapreneur at all in fact

You seem like the opposite, like your course actually works. So can you tell us about your course, any success stories that came out of it, and where people can find it? Yeah, well thank you. There's been other courses as well, and I love this one. It's one of my babies because I was getting a bit sick and tired a while back about people selling courses, and essentially people weren't buying the course what they were buying was the hype and the problem is that you have someone who has learnt something really difficult or niche like Bitcoin or you know cryptocurrency or MLM or Forex trading and something that you have to learn and they're like oh you can do

it too you can make lots of money but the problem is that not only do you have to learn, and they're like, oh, you can do it too, you can make lots of money, but the problem is that not only do you have to learn the process, you also have to learn this new skill, the concept of monetize you, because I was doing so much consulting with solar and solar and start ups is that you already know something, probably really well, that you could monetize. And this isn't to make you a millionaire necessarily,

this might be that it makes you $700 or something like that. And so what's essential about it is it's leveraging knowledge you already have. And what I show is the process, literally the language. So in the direct messages at this moment, when this thing happens, here's what you say, you know, and how you convert. And so literally the template itself, and it's so transparent that there's been wonderful success stories, and one of my favorites was a guy over in Australia, and he actually kind of, I think he did the course, but I was coaching through it was really early days, and he was an Uber driver, and he wanted to be a relationship coach to women and the reason why was because he had always been you know what it's like there's he was always that guy that everyone confided in he always had great advice and he

was like I'm just innately good at this everyone always comes for me for help and it's like here are some processes and steps that will just simply move you from a guy who knows stuff and knows it really well and gives advice to how to monetize it. And I think within like two or three weeks and he was like, I've just made $2,000 here on boarding people. And the other one I've got to share was a guy who's, I think it was 21 and he was like, he was just dabbling in trading on his phone, he was really good at it.

He made good profit every day and all he did was on his phone, he was really good at it. You know, he made good profit every day. And all he did was using the course, he opened a Facebook group, it's like a private Facebook group. And people paid like, I think it was like $20 a month to watch him. And he said, it's great, because I'm literally doing all I was doing before,

the only difference is I'm saying it to a camera. So right now I'm gonna make this trade, here's the reason why. And $20 a month is nothing, but when you've got 50 people doing before, the only difference is I'm saying it to a camera. So right now I'm going to make this trade, here's the reason why. And $20 a month is nothing, but when you've got 50 people doing it, then 60, then 90, and then so on, and more people who are watching it, now you've got this recurring revenue, and he's like, now I've got funds I can invest as well. So it doesn't matter what it is, there's been people who play video games and make money doing it, or someone I've worked with who makes flowers out of card, and it's the same kind of principle. So I love those, and if money doing it or someone I've worked with who makes flowers out of card and it's the same kind of principle so I love those and and if you do it right as in if you follow the steps and actually put effort in

you get results because it's not difficult because it's knowing how to work with people it's none of the rubbish oh you can do it motivational stuff because that's not particularly useful when you need the practical, right? Done, right? You get results. That's why all my courses have money back guarantees because if you do them properly, you do get results, and that's that. But I'm very focused on the practical, I suppose. Cool.
