#060: The Art of Messaging, Marketing & Sales With Dr. Yaniv Zaid (Dr. Persuasion)

Listen Later

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Yaniv Zaid. Dr. Zaid is an expert in public speaking and sales and his mission in life is to help people to increase their income and build their professional authority.

Dr. Zaid is also known as Dr. Persuasion, a name that he created for himself before he became a doctor, and a brand that he has been living into ever since.

During our conversation, Dr. Zaid spoke about the importance of social proof and why it’s crucial to have a very specific call to action in your messaging.

He also shared how he is able to help brands have huge success (even though he doesn’t personally have an experience with their products), by deeply understanding the reasoning behind why someone would want to buy those products.

He spoke about how using artificial intelligence instead of your own voice could be hurting your business, and the importance of using simple words in your marketing.

If you’ve ever wondered how best to put yourself out into the world in a way that your audience will be able to find you, this episode will help you. Enjoy the episode!

As an entrepreneur, you need to not just focus on what you are selling, you need to understand and focus on why people would buy it. – Dr. Yaniv Zaid
