Closing Call
https://fathom.video/share/zzQYG7Sck9KJZa_zr2HYa6wYjPig_77j I thought my questions were decent, feel free for feedback Also her issue is timing, I have talked to other prospects doing branding but haven't worked with them as clients, no clue if they'll have issues with timing. I could have said "they don't" since none of them have mentioned that to me. Figure the obstacle overcome here is "That reminds me of...", but then what do I say there, I got no clients to reference. Something like: "That reminds me of another company who helps brands, and she was worried about something similar. But she was willing to make that bet, and this tried this out. She everything up and running. At first, it was an issue, but she worked through it over a week or two, fixed it, and now she's getting incredible results". I guess it can be anyone I know, as long as I don't say it's a client lol. I feel like the main thing across all these calls is my lack of pain building. I feel like I say this every single time to you and don't change it. At the same time though, I focus my time on marketing/getting more calls, I guess my main thing is not knowing if that is truly my constraint. Because I have 4 clients now, more in the pipeline, so I guess my strategy is working. But feedback on that is helpful Also I figure I need to email her a follow up that addresses that timing concern, if you have a good idea for the messaging in that email

Great job isolating the objection and narrowing it down to money! Solid work here.

I love how you bullied the follow up meeting lol "Come on, you KNOW you need to book a meeting from a meeting..." well done
Closed, but entirely on price
Made too crazy of an offer for them lol, most likely not even going to send the contract over, to fulfill on this would be crazy I did not do strongly in this one sales-wise either With two people and they're asking for pricing etc, I guess I should have just given them a range. And then I go through the ENTIRE discovery/pain building process again? Seems like they'd get frustrated since I'd be asking similar questions, wanted to verify what you told me before https://fathom.video/share/x8tjJiQtyT13jmLyWPVN5eeD8hE6JQZ2

Just a note, he's right, ALWAYS get signed agreement before payment. Payment without agreement exposes the prospect to massive loss (you can just disappear) so always do the other order.

While he's on the call, and you're showing the agreement, you can just walk him through the agreement and make sure he's OK with it and has no problems before getting off the call. This can help with getting them to sign it faster.
0 control the whole time, but he's interested?
But I feel extremely normal and confident on these calls now, you can see the difference vs before 2 questions: 1) Also unsure when someone says their down to try it, but they have no pain? Do I pitch them, or do I need to build pain first (ie will they not end up closing) 2) Started getting into pain at the end, but ran out of time. Ran out of time because I let him take control. I'd assume I need to be much more firm that I need to ask him the questions. https://fathom.video/share/aatu_HYwEuXUoirWs15CzS7f_P4Zm_6P

To your questions: OH YES THIS GUY HAS PAIN. 20 years in the biz and hasn't moved past referral marketing. His business is CAPPED. Everyone in the biz "knows who he is" but has chosen NOT to do business with him. That's your pain.

You played it just fine, with these guys if you get too controlling it becomes a frame battle and they just hang up because their ego prevents them from seeing they need you. You did a good job getting him on the hook for a second call. I believe you can probably finesses him into a deal but you need to set good expectations that it will take a minute to dial in the messaging with his help, if he's not going to be patient it won't work. His lack of patience may be the whole reason he's never extended into other marketing channels.
Feel like I did STRONG in the second part of the call
First part not so much. But I thought recovery was pretty good. https://fathom.video/share/miUAe5AaEd6DGfiwzXPUmchRF3n726yp First time I've felt a part of my call was STRONG. For some reason instead of giving a range I gave him a straight up price, which meant he didn't feel the need for me to actually pitch etc and go through discovery. Poor mistake

Good job sticking with the questions where you compared YOUR offer (more commoditization) to HIS offer (less commoditization). I like how you got into negotiation with him, what I would have said is "So....you're asking me to set up 150 inboxes for you at a cost of $1,000, and run a campaign for you at a cost of $5,000 for me in labor time.....and you want me to give you basically $6,000 worth of labor and materials...for free, for 3 months?"

Add a demo or at least some slides to your pitch. Show testimonials, screenshots, diagrams. That will really plus up results for guys like this.
Decent
https://fathom.video/share/zv6j4ePYAx4_Qy7B5sQJUp_dRYH9T17V Still need to build more pain, he felt none lol. You'd think I'd have watched a video on this by now Adding pre-objection handling in my script around timeline and partner

Specifically for this guy. His paper cut answer is "We doubled last year and we want to double again." That's not pain. You need to dive into that deeper. "What happened when you guys doubled before? What's going to happen if you double again? What will be different? What's that doubling going to enable for the business, for YOU? Is that a CEO goal or a board goal or just a random goal someone pulled out of thin air? What happens if you guys only 1.5x and don't truly 2x, does anything bad actually happen?"
