Albert Einstein once described compound interest as the “eighth wonder of the world,” saying, “He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn’t pays for it.”

The more I study the advanced market products, the more I'm impressed by the wonder of compound interest and what it can do for you.

But then, I wondered- what if the fundamental principles behind such a marvel also apply to business.

I'm loving this QBS book. I hope you don't mind me taking another week to explain more concepts I'm learning from it.  In this week's podcast, I'm diving into three key principles that can really help you boost your sales. Use them and they can be a gamechanger.

Features and benefits. That's what sells, right?

Nope.

When you go in with a list of why your product is amazing, think about what's happening. You're talking about...YOU. It's your favorite subject, but not theirs. Your prospect has their own challenges to deal with and the last thing they want to hear is how great your product is. All it does is make you a "salesperson."

As agents, there's a simple way to rise above that. Ask enough questions until you have clarity on THEIR problem. Only then have you earned the right to present your solution. Sales isn't about what you have to offer. Sales is about if what you have to offer solves a problem in the mind of your prospect. Nothing more.

Shift your focus from YOU to THEM and watch more people say YES to you.

Every so often Equis Financial puts on a live event where all the agents across the country come together to network, celebrate, learn, grow and inspire each other. Thursday was one such event. I've been to many of these over the years during my time at Equis and this one was one of the best. If you haven't been to one, you have a lot to look forward to!

This podcast is dedicated to sharing my key reasons why these events are such a valuable part of our experience and also some of my key takeaways from our inspired leaders.

I hope you enjoy.

Let's face it: leads are not cheap. Are they worth it? YES! But it cost money to generate a quality lead. As good as they are, they're not perfect. Anyone who has contacted a fresh lead and gotten squashed with a sour dose of rejection knows the sting. 

"I just spent how much to have someone tell me "no?"

The good news is it doesn't take very many Yes's to compensate for all the No's. Regardless, we all want to maximize profitability, right? Why wouldn't we?

This podcast is dedicated to arming you with a few key questions and perhaps a slightly different way of looking at your appointment to help make a huge difference in your life and in the life of your prospect. That's a win-win. 

Oh, and your pocketbook will thank you for it as well. :)

Behind every success story is a particular decision point. You might take weeks or even months to think about a decision, but the actual decision happens in one instance. One single moment. And if you have experienced any major change in life, you can trace it back to a decision made at a specific point in time.

If you're going to be successful, you have to get good at making decisions. All successful people are good decision-makers. So what about you? Have you made the decision to WIN with here at Equis? Or are you still making that decision?

This podcast will help you understand why staying on the fence is the worst place to be.

I don't proclaim to be a scientist by any stretch of the imagination. I was an art student.

But I do know that when the wind blows, it blows on everything. Interestingly, different things respond differently to that same environmental force. I found there are a lot of similarities to this simple concept and our journey toward success. 

Listen in- plus you might learn a few things about how sailboats work. It's kind of interesting.

Good morning! This week, I'm diving into our family of insurance carriers. I break down each of them, some of their most common products, when I like to write for them and when/why sometimes I don't. Hopefully, this carrier knowledge can help you discover and select your favorites so you can improve your placement rate.

But a word of caution: don't let my list jade you. This is simply my observations and my experience. Yours may be different. As you work, you'll develop your own set of things you like and dislike most about each one. But hopefully, my perspective can help in some way.

Remember, at the end of the day, it's all about getting clients covered, so the right carrier is the one that will approve. :)

What if...?

What if everything they say about this Equis opportunity is real? What if you really could become a millionaire with this deal in the next few years? What if it's every bit as good or more? What's the best that can happen?

This week's podcast is about commitment. But until we truly understand what is in store, your commitment may waiver. And as we know, committing less than 100% will greatly affect your results. 

This is YOUR future we're talking about. YOUR dreams and YOUR goals. 

Let's give it all we've got!!

It's a true principle that your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world.

That might be a hard pill to swallow. Look around- are you happy with the PHYSICAL results of your life? If not, there are three other realms all feeding into it. Your physical world is simply the fruit on the tree. It's what's UNDER the ground—what's invisible—that creates the fruit. 

Society teaches it all exactly the opposite. No wonder so many of us are not happy with our level of success.

Hopefully, this will help.
