How to Turn Your Adversaries Into Profitable Allies
MY LIFE MISSION

I do this by teaching and mentoring people to increase their skillset so that they will become more confident in themselves and their unique gifts. This will allow them to embrace their self-worth which will enable them to ask for fair compensation for providing their
I have in return the opportunity to be showered financially for touching their lives and changing it for the better. This allows me, along with my family to travel around the world to touch and impact many more families in profound ways by teaching people how to fish or be a better farmer.

PROCESS TO CONVERT
A.D.K.A.R. Awareness – acknowledge, what is and isn’t
working for them? Show them the big picture Desire – they can win new business from old
client (show them how they can) Knowledge – experience a new way of doing
business & get more ideas from working with me Action – Just do it. Do you currently have
anyone that you can no longer help? Or decline? Reinforcement – Share previous experience.
Results, remind that client has strategy in place to return to them next year or 6-12 months as new “qualified” client!

important reasons to change
TAILOR YOUR APPROACH
PAINT A STORY, BE A STORY TELLER
Relate with stories to acknowledge existing and mutual problems – nobody wins
Acknowledge elephant in the room = client gets no help WILL go elsewhere and may move all their business there
What IF I am brought in to help YOU? Acknowledge problem #1 – why banks don’t refer
Be the Bad and the Ugly or the Good Hero? Win Win Win
Status Quo or be different? Want to make a difference? Robert Frost poet
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claimBecause it was grassy and wanted wear,Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to wayI doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
