In this episode I share how I and some of my ELT reps are able to make $18,000 per client and how you can too! What you are going to hear may sound counter intuitive to you and even really a little far fetched. However think about the facts being presented carefully. You will find after really studying and thinking about it there is no more effort in making more money from one client to the next. What goes in to bringing on a new client and making a sale?
You have to isolate who it is that needs, wants, and can afford what you offerYou have to convey value to them for the opportunity to engageYou have to present them a series of facts to considerYou have to invite them to engage with you, your offer, or your serviceYou have to close the dealThese 5 steps are what you will do every time you want to sell, rent, or give something away. Whether what you offer is $25, $2500, or $25,000 the process is the same and the dirty little secret is, the efforts the same. So here’s the deal. If it takes just as much time and effort to make $18 as it does $18,000.00 then why not focus on the latter?
How to establish value to sell high-ticket items:
Your self-esteem has to be high enough that you’re comfortable talking with affluent customers.Most people have a difficult time selling high-ticket items to clients because they’re not affluent clients themselves. They project their own value to their prospects.

By reading those kinds of magazines, you get to expand your comfort. Hence, change your belief about how you see money and how they think.
It’s more about the experience and perception.Many times it’s not the product anymore but the entire experience that the minute clients walk out of the car, it’s completely different. It’s not just selling a commodity anymore. How do you create a perception that you are worth and you deserve their money?
Don’t project your own struggles onto your prospects.Just because you’re struggling with paying the bills and selling, don’t be desperate. Affluent people hate people who are desperate and they can smell that from afar. You want to be calm and professional. Don’t fast-talk. Very few people know how to sell to the affluent.
Keep increasing.Challenge yourself and say, how high is high? Who gets affected the most during recession are the middle class and the poor. Sure they could lose money bu
