The one easy way to become worth 50 percent more than you are now — at least — is to hone your communication skills — both written and verbal. If you want to get ahead, focus on your communication skills.
However, it is important that I share this one personal perspective so you can establish an important connection. I've been a musician since age eight, and play piano, guitar, bass, drums, record, (used to be professional), and also speak Spanish and Portuguese.
At some point it occured to me that learning, composing and playing music is very similar to the ability of learning a language. I suspect that's why I'm good at language - because it's actually music. Isn't that why the rhythm and tone of the Jaws soundtrack make us so nervous? Isn't that why some music pump us up and other music make us feel serene? There's something about the "music" in our communication that triggers things inside of human beings. It's just part of us.
Couldn't you consciously and intentionally give others the sense of trust that they are expecting, the indication that lets them know that what you are doing is 100% to help them?
Wouldn't people immediately recognize your authenticity? Would people feel that you were similar to others at that point? How might that impact you professionally or personally?
If you have read up to this point, then you are among the few who realize that our personal and financial success is directly tied into our ability to leave others comfortable being influenced by us.
Yet the opportunities to connect with new prospects, (even existing ones), have never been more complicated and elusive when attempting to make contact by phone, in person, and through messages (email, text, chat):
Knowing this, how easy is it to get your message across, and how important do you think it now is to make the most out of each and every interaction?
It is that set of skills you will gain from The Authentic Voice Bootcamp.
So do you want more opportunities, income, and customers now, or would you prefer to continue giving them away to your competition?
Today my awareness, intention, and use of words are so aligned, genuine, and impactful that any real leads convert, and my referral flow multiplies yearly - no matter what kind of market I am in.
The evidence of how well this approach works is not only in my business, but in my personal life as well:My interactions are natural, spontaneous, and above all genuine and unique to me. All of this has additionally strengthened my marketing, which in turn has made prospecting and conversion not only easier, but has fundamentally changed the influence and success I have both professionally and personally.
Just five years ago I was completely exasperated. Unlike most business owners I was actually “doing all of the right things”: prospecting daily, following up on a system, sending emails and cards that had high open rates and frequently received responses, meeting prospects personally, and time blocking.
The work was being done, leads were being generated, the pipeline was growing, and scripts were memorized, practiced, and used. Yet when customers were finally ready to take action somehow I would inevitably lose the opportunity, and all of that time and work would disappear into the ether.
I burned out. Then got a coach with money I didn’t have and soon fired him after the 3rd time he told me “I don’t know what it is”. The effort it took to close any sale was like trying to make orange juice from rinds.
Years of punishing financial hardships contributed to the end of my marriage of 16 years, forcing me to reevaluate who I was, what was important, start all over and completely reinvent myself. To say I was “desperate” would be like describing 2008 as “challenging”.
Like many of us I also had a dream of owning a thriving business that could support my family from the present into the future, that could give me freedom, and that would allow me to grow personally. I had so much time, training, and experience invested in my business that I just refused to give up. After all, what would the alternative be?
I remember the day, at an all-time personal low, because it was then that I made the decision to focus on what ultimately was the single thing responsible for turning around my success forever, and putting my business on the fast track. I’ll share what that was with you in a minute.
The confidence, potential, and growing success I have today is nothing like the sheer exhaustion, frustration, disappointment and defeat I experienced before. I am able to disarm the most aggressive conversations and turn them around. Business and opportunities gravitate towards me, and I earn the trust of those around me.
Most importantly, the people with whom I work are open to taking my direction because they implicitly know that I am listening to them, have their interests at heart, and are confident that I can actually help them. I am so grateful to have made the decisions that allowed me to set myself up for the success I have today, which has made me wealthier, a better parent, a better son and friend, a better musician, a better cook, and has given me the ongoing promise of an abundant future.
