Captain Matt is coming in hot with one simple truth: the words you use shape your client's perception—and your paycheck.
If you're still saying "pots" instead of "urns," "pergola" instead of "pool cabana," or calling it "landscape lighting" instead of an "illumination portrait"... you're leaving money—and authority—on the table.
In this episode:
Why verbiage is value in the lighting game
How to rewire your mindset to match your ideal client’s
Why DIY mindset = broke contractor energy
What to read, watch, and listen to so you stop sounding like a rookie
How Captain Matt used Nate Mullen’s book and walkthroughs to reprogram his sales language
Why clients can afford you—but they won’t believe it if you don’t
Real-world story of a mentee who didn’t believe people would pay...until he looked in the mirror
This one is for the lighting assassins who are ready to stop selling parts—and start selling transformations. Your words matter. Your confidence matters more. Study. Elevate. Speak like someone worth $40K lighting contracts.
Lights. Legacy. Living. Captain’s Crew. Sink or Swim.
