Serial entrepreneur Neil Patel is back on the McMethod Podcast.

And this time around he’s not here to defend content marketing against the haters...

He’s here to chat about landing high-level consulting clients (his roots).

Because before Neil was out there creating super valuable tools for marketers,

Tools like Hello Bar, KISSmetrics, and valuable content like on QuickSprout,

…Neil was landing big deals.

Recently Neil decided to do an expirement for the heck of it.

The expirement was what would happen if he spent TONS of money on new threads..

And the results are quite fascinating.

The reality is people judge you on how you dress.

The nicer you dress,

The more you’ll make.

When you’re landing half million dollar deals,

You’ve gotta dress the part.

Sometimes that’s just how the world works.

Of course there’s always outliers,

But if you want to stack all the chips on your side,

Take a look into Neil’s multiple extravagant expirements he shares in this episode.

From nice clothes,

To Ferraris, $800,000 watches, private helicopters, assistants and more…

 

In this episode, you’ll discover:

* how to close a deal without even paying attention to what the client says

* the dark side to rolling big and deep (Neil gives his solutions to handling life with lots of money)

* how Neil’s helicopter has been landing him more deals than ever before (clients and social situations 🙂

* why dressing like a school teacher can hurt you when landing new clients

* how racing a friend’s Ferrari randomly landed Neil a very profitable new client

* Neil’s strategy to leveling up from a couple thousand dollar clients… to big multi million dollar clients (what you wear really doesn’t matter, it’s something else)

* how the rules of the game change when you deal with people with tons of money (perception is everything)

Hey, it’s John McIntyre here, the autoresponder guy. I’m here with Neil Patel from Quick Sprout. Now Neil is the co-founder of Kissmetrics, Crazy Egg and Hello Bar and yes, he was actually on podcast a while back to talk about content market, because I had a bit of an ad lib with content marketing and I need to clear it up and get some expert advice on why and what, and you know, when it doesn’t work. And, but really the reason why I brought Neil back is I’ve been reading some of his pods and it’s been some fascinating stuff about how to close big consultant deals and it’s not going to deal with putting together nice proposal or write, you know, proposing up the sales skills. It’s things like, spending a hundred and sixty two thousands three hundred and one dollars and forty two cents on clothes, and how that’s translating to bigger deals, or, you know, having a luxury apartment and different things like that. So, it got me curious. I thought:’ Man,
