Introduction:

Your prospects aren't rejecting your pitch because it's not good enough. They're rejecting it because you're talking to the logical brain while the primal "panic brain" makes the actual decision.

In this episode, Brandon Fears reveals why 11 million bits of information hit your customer's brain every second, but only 40 reach conscious thought. The gatekeeper? The panic brain asking: "Am I safe?" and "Is this valuable?"

You'll Learn:

1. Why the Costco $4.99 rotisserie chicken makes you spend $400
2. How one roofing company went from 18% to 42% close rate by never emailing quotes
3. The consensus bias hack that increased clicks by 22%
4. The 2-question test your first slide must pass in 10 seconds

Stop losing to competitors who shouldn't be winning. Start selling to the brain that actually signs the checks.
