@Paulette Baker Paulette, thank you for taking the time to explain this. 🙏 I really like your approach of listening first instead of immediately trying to give someone the answer. Asking permission to dig a little deeper also seems like a great way to build trust before moving into those more pointed questions. What really stood out to me was what you said about the strategy session helping both sides determine whether it’s a good fit — especially whether the person is actually willing to put in the work. 💯 Here’s something I’m curious about: when someone tells you they want clarity, but you can sense they’re actually afraid of making a decision or taking action, how do you help them recognize the difference between not having clarity and simply being afraid to move forward? 🤔 I’d love to hear your perspective on that.

@Paulette Baker Paulette, absolutely — I’d be open to a strategy session. I’ve really enjoyed our conversations and I’d be interested to learn more about your approach and how you help people work through clarity and direction. No rush at all — enjoy your time with your honey. 😊 Just let me know when you’re available and we can find a time that works for both of us.
The Moment I Told the Seller, “I Don’t Think We’re a Good Fit…
I had an appointment this week that taught me something I wasn’t expecting. I walked into a seller appointment where the homeowner was VERY guarded. She didn’t want to talk about motivation, circumstances, or much of anything. Her attitude was basically: “Tell me what you can do for me.” Fair enough. 😊 So instead of immediately trying to get to numbers, I slowed down. 📖 We went through who we are. 🤝 I shared stories of people we’ve helped. 🏠 We walked the property. ☕ And mostly…I listened. Little by little, the walls started coming down. Eventually we started talking about what life could look like AFTER the house was sold — where she wanted to go, what she wanted her days to look like, and why making the move mattered to her. Then we got into the numbers. And that's where things got difficult. The amount she wanted and the way she needed to receive the money didn’t really fit the structure I had available. So instead of forcing it, I finally told her: “Based on what you’re telling me, I don’t think we're a good fit.” And something interesting happened. 🤯 Instead of the conversation ending, SHE started asking: “What do you mean?” “Isn’t there another option?” “What else could we do?” That stuck with me. 🔥 Sometimes the strongest part of a pitch isn’t convincing somebody. Sometimes it’s being willing to walk away when what you have doesn’t truly solve their problem. I spent almost three hours there, and I left without a signed agreement. But I also left with more trust than I walked in with — and a seller who wanted to keep exploring possibilities. That was a reminder for me: Listen first. Understand what they actually need. And don’t be afraid to say, “Maybe we’re not the right fit.” 👇 I’m curious about everyone here: Have you ever had a sales conversation get STRONGER after you stopped trying to make the sale? What happened? 👇🔥

@Nancy Seymour Nancy, YES! 🙌🔥 And I’m learning that more and more. “No” doesn’t have to mean rejection — sometimes it simply means honesty. 🤝❤️ What surprised me in this conversation was that the moment I stopped trying to find a way to make the deal work and told her we might not be the right fit, the conversation didn’t end… It got deeper. 🤯 She started asking me what other possibilities might exist. That was a powerful lesson for me: sometimes being willing to lose the deal is exactly what allows the other person to trust that you're genuinely trying to help them. 🎤🤝 And I love your point about referrals. Even if we never do business together, I still want someone to walk away thinking: “He listened to me. He was honest with me. And he didn't pressure me.” ❤️ That reputation may be worth more than forcing one deal. And Nancy, I agree — saying no politely IS an acquired skill! 😂💪 I’m still practicing that one! 🔥

Exactly, Heather! 💯 That’s what I’m learning. Sometimes the best thing we can do is be willing to say, “I may not be the right fit for you right now.” Instead of trying to force something that isn’t right for either side. Like you said, you plant the seed 🌱, keep the relationship genuine, and leave the door open. Circumstances change, timing changes, and sometimes that person comes back when the time IS right. I’d much rather build trust and play the long game than push someone into something just to get a deal today. 💪 Thanks for sharing that, Heather. I love hearing that you’ve seen this actually play out throughout your career! 🙌🔥

@Waltraud Riesner Waltraud, I think my M-word for the rest of the year has to be MOMENTUM. 🚀🔥 I’ve spent a lot of time learning, experimenting, building, breaking things 😂, fixing them, and figuring out what works. Now I want to turn all of that learning into forward MOMENTUM. Not trying to do 20 things at once. 🎯 Pick the goal. Follow the roadmap. Do the work. Solve the problems along the way. And KEEP MOVING. 💪 Because I’m realizing momentum doesn’t always mean moving fast—it means continuing to move in the right direction, even when you have to slow down and adjust. So I’m locking it in: M = MOMENTUM. 🚀 Now I’m sending the challenge back to you 😄 — what’s ONE thing you want your “Mentor” mindset to help you accomplish before the end of the year? 🔥

@Waltraud Riesner 😂 Well Waltraud, I definitely don’t want to get you in trouble with the law! So maybe I’ll have to retire “Professor” and just call you my friend who always seems to have another life lesson ready for me. 😄💪🔥 And I love that you actually printed Dr. Forbes Riley’s reminders and put them where you can see them. That’s taking the lesson beyond just hearing it—you’re putting it into practice. 🎯 And YES… we CAN do it! 💯‼️💪🔥 Now the important part: actually DOING the work. 🚀
🎤🔥 I GOT PITCHED THIS MORNING… AND THE PERSON DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THEY WERE TEACHING ME A PITCHING LESSON. 😂🎤
Something happened this morning that made me stop and think. 🤔 I had a conversation with someone I had never met before. It started with one simple word: “Hello.” 👋 Nothing unusual about that. So I responded and asked a genuine question. The question wasn't really answered. Instead, I was asked about my business. I answered — and asked another question back. 🎤 Again, they didn't really answer my question. Then the conversation quickly moved toward: 💻 What they do 📈 The results they've gotten 👉 And eventually an invitation for me to try what they're doing. And that's when something clicked for me. 💡 This wasn't necessarily about whether the opportunity was GOOD or BAD. It was about something much more important: How did the conversation make me FEEL? I didn't feel understood. I didn't feel like the person was genuinely curious about me. I felt like I was being moved toward a solution before anyone had even discovered whether I had the problem that solution was supposed to solve. And then I had to turn the mirror around. 🪞 🔥 How many times have I done some version of this in MY OWN business? That's where it became a lesson for me, not criticism of someone else. As entrepreneurs, salespeople, and business owners, we get excited about what we do. We know how much our product or service can help someone. So we start explaining… And explaining… And explaining… 😂🎤 Meanwhile, we may not have asked enough questions to understand the human being standing in front of us. That reminded me of something I'm working hard to become better at: 👂 LISTEN before you pitch. ❓ UNDERSTAND before you offer. 🤝 Determine whether there's a FIT before you try to close. Because sometimes the strongest pitch isn't: “Here's what I can do for you.” Sometimes it's simply: “Tell me more…” ❤️ And maybe their answer leads to your product or service. Maybe it doesn't. Either way, you've had a real conversation instead of treating another human being like a prospect. There was another lesson here too. 👀

@Glenn Watkins YES! 🎯🔥 “What’s the biggest challenge you’re facing right now?” That’s a powerful question because it doesn’t assume we already know the answer. It gives the other person permission to tell us what matters to THEM. 👂🤝 And your comment about people not wanting to feel like they're being processed through a sales funnel really hit home for me. 💯 We spend so much time as entrepreneurs building funnels, automations, follow-ups, and systems — all things I’m working on myself 😂⚙️ — but there’s still a HUMAN BEING on the other side of all of it. ❤️ The system should support the relationship — not replace it. I’m writing your question down, Glenn. 📝🔥 Let me challenge you one step further… 🎯 After someone answers that question, what’s your NEXT question before you ever present your solution? I’d love to hear that one too. 👂🔥

@Glenn Watkins 🔥 That’s a great question — and I think this is where the conversation gets really interesting. Once I understand the challenge and what it’s actually costing them, I’d want to get them thinking about what life or business could look like on the other side of it. I might ask: “If we could solve that challenge, what would that change for you?” 🎯 Or even: “What would become possible for you if this was no longer holding you back?” Because now I’m not telling them what my solution can do. They’re telling me what solving the problem would mean to them. 💡 And I think that’s powerful. The more they describe the outcome in their own words, the less the conversation feels like somebody being “sold” and the more it becomes about helping them connect where they are today with where they actually want to go. Then I’d listen again. 👂 Because their answer probably tells me what question I need to ask next. Great question, Glenn! 🔥🙏
