You don't become an excellent salesperson just by memorizing and using specific sales pitches. As someone who has sold a lot of stuff for a long time and gained insights from a lot of sales training, Sharran has developed an understanding of what makes people buy. Today, Sharran will talk about 4 words that don't sell. They may get you a sale, but your clients may feel resentment when they realize they were manipulated. Sharran learned these 4 words from his early days at Goldman Sachs. Discover what these words mean when used in a sales setting and why investment banker Lloyd Blankfein forbids their use inside Goldman Sachs. Join the 10K Wisdom Private Partner Podcast, now available to you for free“Selling is a skill, and it has to be taken seriously.”- Sharran SrivatsaaTimestamps:00:00 If you sell anything, this episode is for you02:26 How the idea for this episode came about05:52 What Sharran learned from a 10-minute conversation with Lloyd Blankfein, former CEO of Goldman Sachs07:03 2 words that make grandma mad (they are the harshest words you can use)09:56 The question Lloyd Blankfein asked Sharran10:57 Respect your client's intelligence (don't use a manipulative authority frame)12:39 The next 2 words you must not use during a sale and why15:46 Here's a better way to frame your pitch17:07 Using the 4 words will only work if you have these qualities18:53 When can you use the words, and why is it important?19:05  Sharran's experience in using the words “makes sense” (while in a conversation with his advisors, Russ Morgan, and Joey Mure)21:45 A story of how the words “fair enough” were used in the right frame23:59 Your job is not to crush the objection25:10 Here's what you want to happen when closing an expensive or complex sale28:24 Quick recap of today's episodeResources: - Sharran's Partnership Program - Join the 10K Wisdom Private Partner Podcast, now available to you for free - Grab Sharran’s 4-Week MBA for Free   Connect with Sharran:- Facebook - Instagram - Twitter - LinkedIn - YouTube
