(17:45) Story about the father on the bus with rowdy kids and how we experience "shifts." 


(20:00) Reframing the external behavior and the internal state.


(20:47) Counter-Example: Can you think of a time when a person liked being sold to?


(21:25) Outcome Framing: What's going to happen to your success level if you keep thinking this way? What will your life look like in ten years or twenty? What's your life gonna look like if you keep that belief?


(22:10) All-ness Framing: Do you think that every single person who's ever sold anything in the history of the world has gone their entire life without ever having someone like them?


(23:08) Reflexively Apply To Self or Listener: In other words, I probably shouldn't like you if you're selling something. Or are you trying to tell me that if I sell anything no person is going to like me or do business with me no matter what I do?


(23:42) Chunk Down: How does the exact sequence go for someone to go from not knowing you to not liking you because you're selling them something without you having any say in the matter or influence whatsoever?

]]> In this episode, Ben (@Mywordscreate) breaks down how to sell big ticket without sounding salesy.


Pirates have long fascinated the minds of men. Rebellious, adventurous, and free-spirited, they carved their own path in the world. After serving ten years in the Navy I took the plunge to write my own story. Since then I've learned directly from some of the most savvy marketers in the game. My name is Ben Perry, and welcome to The Pirate Marketing Podcast.


Timestamps:


(1:06) How do I sell my product or service without sounding salesy? Whether you're brand new to sales or you're a veteran, you'll get massive value from this episode.


(2:30) Take the focus off of you and put it on your prospect so you genuinely are interested in them.


(3:53) How much do you believe in your product or service? If you don't believe in what you're selling then you're going to come off as inauthentic no matter what you do.


(7:14) Go review some of your more recent client case studies and testimonials to help renew your own conviction about the offer you're selling.


(8:10) Have you tried reframing yourself? This might be the most valuable next few minutes than any other thing you could possibly spend your time on.


(9:10) Story about how I had a false belief about swans and how it got erroneously wired up in my brain.


(12:45) How most people are walking around with Gideon's Knots full of beliefs.


(14:20) The formula for how we create meaning: External Behavior EQUALS Internal State


(16:38) Cause > Effect Statements: This 'X' LEADS to this 'Y'


(16:58) Complex Equivalence Statements: This 'X' MEANS this 'Y'


(17:15) Identification: This 'X' means this 'Y' ABOUT ME


(17:45) Story about the father on the bus with rowdy kids and how we experience "shifts."

In this episode, Ben (@Mywordscreate) discusses a case study from a client who added an average of $116k per month by implementing the right systems and front-end sales processes in place.


Welcome to The Pirate Marketing Podcast where we talk about how to magnetize your marketing and close more sales in the online coaching and consulting world. Pirates are rebellious, adventurous, and free-spirited but the thing I love the most about them is they were no longer willing to take sh*t from the powers that should-not-be. Instead, they listened to their heart, carved their own path, and took the road less traveled which is exactly who this podcast is for. Join me, The Pirate Marketing Captain, as we discover the treasure chest of sales & marketing while doing no harm and taking no sh*t.

(7:40) What if you are actually doing sales wrong and you're letting sales fall through the crack?


(8:30) Our experience working with a big sales trainer's sales rep that we had placed.


(11:30) What happens if you wait to get help? Competition enters the marketplace, inflation skyrockets, and the barrier to entry gets obliterated.

(14:50) How much of your marketing is pre-selling your product?

Today, Ben (@Mywordscreate) talks about his top five lessons learned in 2022 and the friends he made, the growth he experienced, and what nuggets he extracted from the full spectrum of experiences.

Welcome to The Pirate Marketing Podcast where we talk about starting and growing a business based on your wisdom and experience.  Pirates have long captured the imagination of people around the world because of their rebellious, adventurous, and free-spirited natures and that's why I'm fascinated with the idea of living life... on your terms.

(2:36) Lesson Number One. Making lots of money with no time really isn't worth it. When you don't have any money you're like, hey? Whatever. I'm willing to work crazy long hours to make money. But once you get off of that kind of hamster wheel and you really start to generate some income you realize that actually, on second thought, I would not sell my soul for all of this money, because it's just not worth it. 

(5:33) Most people want the flexibility to do the things that you personally want to do without your money making thing getting in the way of that.

(7:09) Parkinson's Law: Work expands to fit the time allowed.

(9:53) Lesson Number Two. Investing is well worth it. This year alone I invested around $25,000 in myself. And I think my level of investment matches the level of income I brought in this year. There's nothing like investing in yourself knowing you're going to get a return on your investment (because you're willing to take responsibility for your growth).

(14:08) If you're going to join a mastermind then make friends with the other people inside the group. Go first. Why else would you join a mastermind and then still continue to silo yourself?

(15:54) Lesson Number Three. Staying true to your principles pays off exponentially which allowed me to have one of the best years I've had in business.

(19:33) You can't buy class and you can't buy character. Those are only earned through the trial by fire moments that come up. A principle isn't a principle unless it costs you. And if you have a string of these experiences happening and you come out the other side okay multiple times over the years then you feel bulletproof.

(21:13) Lesson Number Four: Money without health isn't worth it. I let my physical health slide this year more than any other year.

(22:33) Lesson Number Five: You have more valuable skills than you realize. I worked closely to help launch a new high ticket brand from zero to $1M in 7 months.

(26:05) The experiences you've had have compounded over the years and are attractive as hell to the right person that values your unique sense of communicating in the world.

(14:08) If you're going to join a mastermind then make friends with the other people inside the group. Go first. Why else would you join a mastermind and then still continue to silo yourself?

(15:54) Lesson Number Three. Staying true to your principles pays off exponentially which allowed me to have one of the best years I've had in business.

(19:33) You can't buy class and you can't buy character. Those are only earned through the trial by fire moments that come up. A principle isn't a principle unless it costs you. And if you have a string of these experiences happening and you come out the other side okay multiple times over the years then you feel bulletproof.

(21:13) Lesson Number Four: Money without health isn't worth it. I let my physical health slide this year more than any other year.

(22:33) Lesson Number Five: You have more valuable skills than you realize. I worked closely to help launch a new high ticket brand from zero to $1M in 7 months.

(26:05) The experiences you've had have compounded over the years and are attractive as hell to the right person that values your unique sense of communicating in the world.
