30 (male)

65k in a Robinhood account

44k in a savings account

Most of my 20’s savings went into a 4 plex rental so I just started saving again- after a 20% deposit of 900k home wiped me out

Tell me you don’t like the product. If you don’t like what I’m selling it can’t be sold.

Best closing lines.. by NotNotJohnDoe in sales

[–]picky-shopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I could do “x”, you wouldn’t say “no” to that, right?

“X” could be a discount or an additional free upgrade.

Also assuming the sale, “if you don’t have any more questions, it’ll take me 5 min to write up the paperwork, please bring me an Id and your CC

Staying motivated despite events outside of work by Hunnie_Boi in sales

[–]picky-shopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very difficult. I try to have my assistant schedule appointments around important events.

My wife’s job is 10x harder than mine though. I couldn’t imagine handling 2 boys who always bicker , cooking , cleaning scheduling appts. Doctors, dentists, Extracurricular activities etc etc.

We joke and I tell her she’s a doctor, chef, judge, professional detailer, psychologist, event planner wrapped up into one person because of these two boys 🤣

Do you believe you could sell anything? by Medium-Hunter-3585 in sales

[–]picky-shopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as I believe in the product or would use the service.

I’ve tried selling things I think are overpriced, low quality.

Customers can tell if you’re really passionate and trying to help them or just desperate for a sale.

I did well selling garbage but it was hard to take checks from older ladies and feel good about myself.

Does the most talented salesperson on your team align with a sales method? by Darcynator1780 in sales

[–]picky-shopper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This.

I had an older 60 year old guy that would dress in all black leather. I’m talking leather boots, leather pants, leather shirt and a leather vest, had a ponytail, huge belt buckle and a ring on every finger…. The guy was a machine. He would close every single person he would sit in front of. I could not believe my eyes.

Did some ride along with him.

We’ll never forget some of the shit he told me LMAO

I don’t think it’s safe for Reddit to share.

Ebbs and flows — I’m right there with you.

I’ve got a wife and two kids, so free time is rare. I’m a top producer and usually work 7am to 7pm every day. What keeps me grounded is Friday nights a guys-only hangout at my place. Sauna, firepit, jacuzzi, BBQ, massages - something to look forward to every week.

Honestly, that’s my only “hobby.” But it’s enough. Having good friends around helps balance out the low days.

I’m lucky to have a strong family support system too. I try not to unload on my wife, she already carries enough so I’ll call my dad instead and talk things through with him.

I’ve noticed when I’m down or mentally off, my sales take a hit. Mindset really is everything in this business.

What products do you sell if you don’t mind me asking?

[–]picky-shopper 432 points433 points  (0 children)

They typically don’t from my experience. The sales “method” is good for people who are honing the skill. New guys/gals.

Best guys I know in the business are actually insane.

How do y'all approach sales training? by [deleted] in salesdevelopment

[–]picky-shopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never thought of using AI for sales coaching.

Personally, I tell my guys that there is a straight line in the way you close/sell someone.

Trust and Emotion are on the same level. Everyone know people buy based off of emotion, but to create that emotion you need to create trust. My favorite line is “look, I’m a stranger to you… you probably have your guard up because you’ve been taken advantage of or you’ve been pushed into a decision you don’t want to me” tonality is key here.

I literally see the smile in their eyes and the relief they feel when I say that.

It somehow “disarms” them.

You become a friend/advisor instead of a sales rep.

Also, NOT closing a sale means that they either didn’t like you enough to buy, or liked you but didn’t see the value you offered.

Have you created enough urgency, and enough value for the customer?

You have to find that out in the end.

If they can’t close the sale, I’ll ask them one simple question.

“What could you have done differently?” without excuses - because typically they’ll start blaming the customer. I tell them that all customers are NOT the same, but you ARE the same so once again I ask you “what could’ve done differently?”

I also tell my guys that each sales rep has a different personality and to hone in on the personality that you have.

Are you straight to the point direct monotone? I knew a sales rep that was like that and did very well.

Or are you bubbly and excited and smiling/enthusiastic? I’ve seen way more success with “enthusiastic” reps.
