Discover... The Quickest Way To Increase Your Income, Even In This Struggling Economy!
(And, In Spite Of All The Bad Publicity)

 

How quickly would your income increase, if you could:

 

  • Immediately gain the trust and respect of each prospect you meet with?

  • Help your prospects identify and solve their complex financial issues?

  • Apply your product and industry knowledge ethically and responsibly?

  • Guide '9 out of 10' of your prospects to a satisfactory sales solution?

  • Earn the right to receive tons of referrals from every client?

  • Work with fewer prospects and consistently close larger sales?

...Then, it's time for you to learn and practice the art of Consultative Selling!

Unfortunately, Consultative Selling has been one of the least taught sales skills over the past two decades. And, it's one of the main reasons why so many agents and advisors are struggling in this crazy economy, and why they are seeing their incomes rapidly declining. People are tired of sales people. They are looking for and want real help with their finances! People want to believe they can take back the control of their money. They want to know they can have a secure financial future for their family!

If you want to see your practice grow and increase your income, then help people to identify their own problems and help them to find a solution that solves those problems. It's what people are really looking for today, especially in this struggling economy! It's what people want and expect from their financial adviser!

Consultative Selling is not really about selling. Consultative Selling is about your ability to conduct a good, thorough fact-finding interview. It going far beyond asking a few simple questions to identify the prospects pertinent facts and concerns, so that you can make a quick sale. It's asking the tough emotional questions to guide your prospect to self-discovery of their own financial concerns and problems. It's helping your prospects to get emotionally involved in the entire sales process. It's helping them feel the real pain of their current situation, so they want to do something about it, 'right now,' to alleviate that pain.

"Consultative Selling is the ability to see the customer's problems from the customer's own viewpoint!" Charles Francis, 1917

Consider, people don't always do or buy what they need. Logically, we may know we need to lose weight, quit smoking, save for retirement or pay off our credit cards. But, do we do it? NO! We put it off until we have no other choice, because it's causing us unbearable pain. Only when the pain becomes too great to live with, will we decide we want to do something about it.

"Top producers realize that their primary responsibility is to help clients identify, define and achieve their goals. They actively try to help clients get what the client wants and needs. "  Steve Drozdeck, The 2% Differential - The Difference That Makes The Difference

However, Consultative Selling goes far beyond asking questions to guide people to self-discovery of their own financial concerns, there's an even deeper reason.  Consultative Selling is being genuinely engaged in asking - and listening beyond a sales motive - to take the conversation, and the relationship, to another place. You become their partner in solving their financial problems, because you cared enough to ask questions beyond the obvious. You cared enough to ask, and did not assume that financial security means the same for everyone.  You cared enough to ask what's really important to them. Rather than do what everybody does - push product. Consultative Selling helps you build rapport and trust, which enables you to close more sales, close larger sales, generate repeat sales and gather referrals.

"Long-term sales success is no longer about communicating the value of a product or service! (Features and Benefits) It's about your ability to provide value added service for your clients!"

Consultative selling starts with the first 'face to face' meeting. And, it doesn't matter how or why you got the appointment. It could be for something as simple as discussing mortgage insurance, Medicare supplements, or final expense policies. Or, maybe they agreed to meet with you after they've attended one of your seminars. No matter why they agreed to see you… You must conduct a good, thorough fact-finding interview, if you want to close '9 out of 10' people you meet with and earn the income you want and deserve!

"Consultative Selling Is A Non-manipulative process that focuses on clearly defining a client's needs and objectives and securing agreement that they should be addressed.
In traditional selling, on the other hand, the emphasis is on the product."
John E. Graziano and Patrick Flanagan...  Explore the Art of Consultative Selling

Summary
Consultative Selling, the ability to conduct a good, thorough fact-finding interview, is what enables the Top Producers to consistently earn $250,000, $500,000 or more each year, even in this struggling economy, and in spite of all the bad publicity. It's why they are still able to consistently… Close '9 Out Of 10 Prospects' They Meet With. It's why they are able to close larger sales and get more repeat business. It's why they get more referrals and spend less time and money prospecting! And, it's why they are able to work with fewer prospects and earn a much higher income.

Is Consultative Selling easy? No!

Is it more work? Yes!

Can you learn how to conduct a good, thorough fact-finding interview? Yes!

In every one of our systems, our live training events, our private 'Members Only' site and the one-on-one coaching, we focus a lot of time and effort on helping agents to get better at conducting a good, thorough fact-finding interview. It's why new agents such as Phil Calandra and many others are able to consistently earn $25,000 - $90,000 per month, within a few months of entering this business. It's the reason why established agents such as Randy Delph (35 years in the business) and many others are able to generate $270,000 of life insurance premiums within a few months of investing in our systems and attending our Boot Camps. It's why even 'MDRT' Top of the Table Producers like Lewie Wood and others are purchasing our marketing and sales systems and coming to our live training events.

Sales Tips...

Telling Isn't Selling

Most agents tend to tell their prospects what their problem is, and what to do to solve the problem, instead of asking questions to help the prospects to discover the problem and solution for themselves.

Does anyone like to be told they have a problem and what they should do about it? If someone tells you that you have a problem, do you immediately believe them? However, if someone helps you to discover for yourself the problem you face, will you believe yourself?

The most successful salespeople have learned the exception value of asking questions. They know that a good sales question is their single most powerful sales tool. The skillful use of good sales questions results in: better relationships with clients, and deeper knowledge and understanding of the clients true needs and wants.

The ultimate results are shorter sales cycles, larger cases, more sales, repeat sales, more referrals and increased earnings!

It's Not The Answer,
It's The Quality Of The Question!
 

Success Tips…

Persistence


"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will."

Vince Lombardi

 

Most of us are good “starters” but poor “finishers” of everything we begin. Moreover, people are prone to give up at the first signs of defeat. There is no substitute for persistence. The person, who makes persistence his watchword, discovers that “Old Man Failure” finally becomes tired, and makes his departure. Failure cannot cope with persistence.

 

"The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
Vince Lombardi

 

"The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have."  Vince Lombardi

Success isn't a matter of chance!
It's a matter of the choices you make!

"Lew Nason's Fact Finding approach to selling life insurance, eliminating debt, and accumulating wealth is exactly what I've been looking for to help my clients. Whether you have been in the life insurance business for five (5) days, or fifty (50) years, I would strongly suggest everyone spend some time with Lew and Jeremy Nason to advance their talents, increase their earnings, and provide a better lifestyle."
Terry Bialek, Canada, (30 years in the business)

"Lew, I recently purchased your Advanced Fact Finding Video... I have been on two interviews so far and used the methods you described. It was surprising how the folks opened-up. Not only were their defenses totally down, but they actually stated that they liked the low-pressure approach and questioning process to find out what their needs/concerns were before they were asked to buy anything. In both cases the customer actually told me what they were going to buy... By the way, I am going to recommend that you contact Allstate's Financial Specialist Manger, so you can help them with their sales efforts.
They have spent a ton of money on similar programs, but in my humble opinion, what you offer is much better. Feel free to drop my name.
Robert Dupuis, Allstate Agency Owner, TX
 

Prospecting Update…
Can I Trust You?

 

I’ve had hundreds of sales people cold call me on the phone ...and that's only this month. Who are these people? Why should I trust any of them?
Why should I take the chance?


Nothing overcomes my fear like a good set of references, testimonials, referrals and endorsements. They impart credibility to give me comfort that you might be OK.

 

When was the last time you asked for a testimonial from your existing clients? Do you have reference from local business owners?  How about endorsements from local celebrities?

 

Are you including these references, testimonials and endorsements with all your sales letters, free reports and information booklets?

 

Do you have them listed on your web site? 

 

When you get a referral from someone do you have them call the referral and send them a quick note?

 

There is nothing like a good set of references, testimonials, referrals and endorsements to gain almost immediate credibility and trust.

Advisor Testimonials & Success Stories…

 

"Thanks for everything. I've written over $270,000 of life premiums in the past two months since attending the boot camp in December. Freedom Equity Group has asked me to do a teleconference to explain how I've accomplished this dramatic increase in my business.
I'll be recommending your (Found Money Management) system and your boot camp to everyone on the call."

"It has been quite busy and I am looking forward to a slow down. This week we have our final two seminars for the year. We have been very focused on the senior market via the seminar and our weekly radio program.
We wrote $2.7M (Annuity Premiums) for October and were #7 for the month in production with American Equity. I think last week I cleared the requirements for 'MDRT' Top of Table. Thank you for all your help and guidance."
