About this episode
Psychological Techniques for Sales

🧠 Acknowledging potential resistance with phrases like "I know you might not want to" can lower buyer resistance and increase agreement rates by up to 50%.

🕰️ Offering flexible options and acknowledging time constraints (e.g., "Maybe now isn't a good time, but can we meet Monday for 30 minutes?") removes prospects from "reactance mode" and gives them a sense of freedom to choose.

Effective Communication Strategies

💬 Using variations of "I know you might not want to" followed by a request (e.g., "would you be willing to start next week?") can effectively frame sacrifices and increase compliance.

🤝 Recognizing the potential sacrifice for the client while highlighting long-term benefits (e.g., "it will save you headaches and money") can improve the likelihood of closing a sale.

Time Management in Sales

⏱️ Proposing brief, specific time commitments (e.g., "5-10 minutes next week") when acknowledging a prospect's busy schedule can make requests seem more manageable and increase the chances of securing a meeting.
