Does a personal brand prevent objections? 🤷🏽♂️ Here is how it can. This was one of our best episodes ever. Several of us went all fan boy too. On yesterday's episode of Mastering Modern Selling our guests were Bob Berg and Jeff West. I am sure most of you already know Bob and Jeff. And, let me know tell you they did not disappoint. Here’s what they shared on how you can become objection-proof: 1. Master Yourself First: - Control Your Emotions: Stay calm and composed. No one wins with emotional responses. - Be Empathetic: Genuinely understand and value your prospect's concerns. It’s all about building trust, not just selling. 2. Reframe the Objection: - Ask Questions: Dig deeper to understand the true concerns behind an objection. - Use Storytelling: Use relatable stories to shift perspectives and turn objections into "aha" moments. (Listen to Jeff talk about how the brain works and why stories are so important to getting positive chemical reactions. 🤯 3. Be Proactive: - Address Objections Early: If certain objections are common, tackle them in your presentations or marketing up front. - Leverage A Content Strategy: Incorporate typical objections into your social media to show transparency and engagement. Here is one of my biggest takeaways. Jeff shares in detail about Fusion Points and how to create them.

Your consulting business isn’t gaining traction and you can’t figure out why. You show up everywhere your potential clients could possibly spend time. You post consistently. What the hell is the problem? Why aren’t you getting leads from it? It’s probably this 👇👇👇 You’re spreading yourself too thin. When you try to show up everywhere and speak on every problem your potential clients have, you’re washing out your message and your reach. Instead, do this: ——- Choose one dreamy client, one channel, and a tight three pillar messaging strategy that aligns with your signature offer. —— In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the framework I take my clients through to get noticed by their people, earn more leads, and close sales faster.

SMART goals might actually be dumb. There, I said it. Not just to you but also to everyone who listens to The Business You Really Want.  While the SMART framework — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound — can be useful, it often leads us to prioritize easy measurement over meaningful impact. And when you prioritize the wrong behavior, your goals won’t be truly motivating. Listen to this week’s episode to hear Tonya Kubo and I explain why goals can be good for some, but not necessarily for you. Make sure to stick all the way to the end of the episode for a practical action plan you can personalize to your own situation.
