Get Your Coffee Dates to open up with GOSSIP?
Convo Opener and Coffee Date Tip…
Do people clam up on you?
Try this and see if it doesn’t get them spilling beans in seconds.
Do you ask a question by email or on Zoom and you can see them get visibly uncomfortable? Or they ghost ya on email?
Because I suck at small talk…
I had this problem for a long time.
Travis: Hi! So what stops you from having all the sales you want?
Them: What are you tryna sell me?!?!
😂
Now…
I still suck at small talk.
But then I figured out how to use Useful Gossip to get them to open up.
👉 Gossip is talking about OTHER people!
People love to gossip and talk about OTHER people.
The people they serve.
The people that compete with them.
The people in other industries threatening theirs.
All of this is USEFUL GOSSIP.
Especially about their people’s problems.
Why?
Remember the #1 thing every leader, coach or influencer wants?
👉 To help their people solve a problem!!
So let’s change our clam inducing question:
Travis: Hi! So what stops you from having all the sales you want?
And tweak it with gossip…
Travis: Hi! So what’s happening now that stops your real estate flippers from flipping all the homes they want?
And then…
Stand back!
Because a flood of convo gold will rush forth which can provide months of deal flow for you.
Now…
It really pays to do some research before hand especially on cold dm or email openers.
Like: “Are the anti-wholesaling laws affecting your wholesalers?”
Whether it’s “yes” or “no” the convo is now open!
Get this…
The pivot to talking about their business after a few minutes of gossip is so much easier…
Travis: (After a few minutes of gossip) So sales are down for your people. Is that affecting your business at all?
And the floodgates open again.
You may not even need the pivot.
Because you can find out how/if they are helping the people they were gossiping about…
Which gets them to open up about another easy thing to talk about: Their offers.
Getting someone to open up is about 90% of deal making.
Gossip is your tool! :-)
Rooting for Ya,
Travis
