I used to hop on many sales calls back in the day.
Back then I was still very much running a client-based business. Specifically consulting clients.
But there was one problem.
A large one holding me back from getting a vast amount of clients… or any other “success” metric, for that matter.
The problem?
I was needy.
I just needed to get those clients. I needed to close them, no matter the cost. To convince them to give me money—even though, in some cases, I just made up my offer a few hours prior to the call.
And as anybody intuitively knows… it doesn’t pay to be greedy.
You need to understand that in every interaction, whoever needs the result less has the power. They have the upper hand. They have the bargaining power. This goes for everything. From sales calls to applying for a job, going on dates, selling second-hand products, asking for a raise, buying a car, deciding where to go on holiday next year, hell even deciding where to eat.
So if you want to make the most out of every life situation, understand this:
You are the prize.
They need to pass your qualifying process. Not the other way around.
Even if you don’t feel like you’re the prize, figure out your shit and find a way to feel like the prize. No matter what process or growth you have to go through to end up feeling like it. Work on yourself. Get yourself physically, mentally, and physically right. All of these will aid in every aspect of your life. And the result will be a mindset shift that’ll serve you for decades to come.
And while this is a mindset shift you can technically make at all times.
There is a practical element you could do to make it easier for you to reach this state of feeling like the prize.
More specifically, the act of getting results.
No matter how paradoxical—or obvious—it sounds. Getting results will help you get more results. Not just because of the case studies, the referrals, the social proof, or anything else of the sort.
It’s all because you’ll trust in yourself and your ability to get results. Which means you won’t ever be needy ever again.
You know you can easily get results again, no worries.
There’s more than enough fish in the sea, that’s for sure.
This also applies to your emails.
A needy email will never sell. It’ll only hurt you.
