About This Book

Inside the Book

A Taste of What You'll Learn

Pro Tips

Before every appointment, review the 14 commitments and decide which three are most likely to be tested tonight. Preparation is not about memorising scripts — it is about knowing which conversations are coming.

The Lost Key Question works because it reframes the decision as already made. The customer found what they were looking for. The only question is whether they pick it up.

⚠️

Don't Be That Person

Don't present the investment before you have all your commitments. A price without a commitment is just a number. A price after a commitment is the last step in a decision the customer has already made.

Don't accept 'I need to think about it' without asking what specifically they need to think through. Vague hesitation is almost always a proxy for an unspoken concern. Surface it.

This is just a sample. The full book contains dozens more Pro Tips and Don't Be That Person moments.
