VICTOR ANTONIO
About this episode
Audience Segmentation and Engagement

🎯 Categorize audience into "winners" (willing to learn) and "losers" (resistant to learning) based on their response to new sales strategies.

🤝 Prequalify audience members by asking them to consider "how can I make this work for me" rather than dismissing new ideas outright.

Overcoming Resistance

💪 Reduce resistance by acknowledging audience's sales experience and proposing 3-5% sales increase through new strategies.

🏆 Congratulate experienced salespeople (20+ years) and ask if they're open to learning new sales techniques for potential growth.

Tailoring Presentation Approach

📊 Segment audience by asking about years of sales experience (5, 10, 15, 20, 20+) to tailor presentation and overcome fear of know-it-alls.
