Get inside your buyers mind - understanding RISK
|
Good morning Reader Let me be VERY VERY CLEAR about the reason why your buyer is not buying your product or service right now.
We ignore this at our peril. We have to think like our prospective buyer. They are thinking right now:
There are a myriad of thoughts going through your buyer's mind when you talk to them about what you do. The higher the price of the service, the more they have to think about it. At the end of it all is a simple series of thoughts:
If they think that it's BS, they will say "no" or" give me time to think about it". This is simply an excuse for "I’m not sure" which deep down means "I’m not ready to buy". Our simple goal is to get inside our buyer's mind. Become a fly on the wall in their mind. Get so close to them that we know what they are thinking. When we do that, selling becomes simple. We all worry about things that might or might not happen. It's all to do with risk. De-risk what you sell to your buyer. Make them feel comfortable about what you do and what you offer. Make them feel 100000000% sure about what you do and how you do it, that there is no risk to their decision. Do that and the orders will flow in…… Until next Saturday, stay focused on becoming a fly on the wall on the brain of your buyer. James How would you rate this edition? 🤏🏻 So-So |

In today’s edition, we explore why FEAR is the greatest barrier to us achieving anything in sales and how if you don’t conquer those fears (which are often irrational), you are unlikely to achieve the goals you have. How can you overcome them though? Let’s get to it Hello Reader, A few weeks ago, I went down to South Africa to visit my team at Growth Resourcing. I always enjoy my visits there but each time I go, there is always a little bit of nerves. Let me explain why. I have a fear of...
In today’s edition, I’m taking you back to where it all started for me… selling shoes at a market stall when I was just 11 years old. Those Sundays taught me some of the most important sales lessons I still carry today. These lessons don’t need a CRM or a perfect pitch deck. They need people skills, persistence, and presence. Let’s dig in. Hello Reader, When I was 11, I started my first real sales job. Every Sunday morning, I turned up at 6am in a car park in Weston-super-Mare where the local...
In today’s edition, we explore why milestones can be more important than the big goals, especially in sales. Every year I remind myself: progress is built in steps, not in leaps. Inspired by David Goggins’ mindset lessons, we’ll break down how small wins, high standards, and brutal honesty drive sales growth. Let’s dig in. Hello Reader, Every year, I like to pause and reflect – a lesson I took away from David Goggins' book, Can’t Hurt Me. It’s a great opportunity to look back on what was...
