[00:41] How to handle those tire kickers? Turn them into committed clients or 'bless and release".

[01:47] Nikki defines "tire kicker".

[03:00] Are you doing something to continue this behavior and allow it to keep going?

[04:09] There's always a balance of power in sales.

[05:04] Starting with a pre-frame in order to set expectations. "The purpose of today's call is to answer any last calls, and then we'll decide today whether we'll be working together."

[08:15] "Bless and release" or stopping lobbing the ball back and forth.

[09:45] "If you're not ready now, I respect that. Reach out to me when you're ready to move forward."

[10:06] Playing cat. Pulling back a little bit and letting them take action in order to move forward.

[13:34] When they're not ready to move forward, you must stop coaching and giving free advice.

[14:38] Some "tire kickers" will just continue to take and take.

[15:33] I now offer 15-minute Spotlight Coaching sessions for people who have a quick question or just want to pick my brain.
