When you get to the end of a presentation, and you’re about to close the sale, you can get information that you need to mitigate the impact of a NO, or even change the answer! These pulse checks can be the key to a closed sale!

I teach accountants how to have confidence in closing sales, and there was one accountant who I recently had an enrollment call with, who I knew was a great fit for my program. But when I did a pulse check, he was interested... however it wasn’t the right time for him. By asking the right questions, I was able to find out this useful information.

This week’s guest on Success Unfiltered, Iain Grae, is a serial entrepreneur with multiple 7 figure businesses. His goal is to help one thousand people become millionaires by 2023 - and he knows just how to leverage a pulse check in business to close a sale!

Are you ready to see how passion, a pulse check, and asking the right questions can help you get to 7 figures? You’ll find that this episode of Success Unfiltered is a MUST LISTEN!

Why Clients Say NO...And Why It’s NOT The End Of The World. So you made your pitch. And the client said NO. Does that mean NO forever...or just “not right now?” Let me show you 3 reasons why being rejected today doesn’t mean you won’t make the sale tomorrow. Don’t lose heart! Grab my FREE guide “3 Ways To Turn a NO Into a YES” right HERE!

Here are a few key secrets we talked about in this episode:

  • Michelle introduces Iain Grae.
  • Iain shares about his businesses, including his advertising agency in New York, and the San Antonio raceway.
  • Iain started his career working for an agency at low pay rates, making outbound calls trying to get as many decision makers on the phone as possible!
  • When Iain was making those calls, he heard more than a hundred NO’s each day, and learned to see those as a blessing so that he could learn from each NO!
  • He took the time to get introspective and look into why people said NO to the products and services that he was selling, and learn from that.
  • There is a reason behind every NO!
  • Start your pitches with an intention that everyone can agree with. Help your clients and leads see that you are there to serve them.
  • Sales are everywhere.
  • Learn to take a “pulse check” to learn if your client is ready to buy. Ask, “on a scale of 1 to 10, how do you feel about this?” They will tell you!
  • When you speak to a company in a way that they can connect with you, they will want to buy from you.
  • Iain started his agency in New York with NO support: he was turned away from a young entrepreneur's group because he hadn’t made enough money yet.
  • When he was rejected from that group, he decided that he was going to create a place where people just getting started could find the support that he didn’t have.
  • Big risks bring big rewards: Iain started his agency with credit card funding, and used the credit cards to create cash flow.
  • There was no option but success for Iain - he “burned his boats” so he couldn’t go back to the life he had led in the past!
  • His entrepreneurial journey started from a NO! When he asked his dad for a motocross bike, his dad said NO, because they didn’t have money. Iain found a way to make money, and bought his own motocross bike.
  • “I’m going to look at possibilities as opportunities.” ~ Iain Grae
  • NO can often come from misaligned intentions and perspective. Do everything that you can to align yourself as a YES!
  • A change in Iain’s perspective aligns him better with a YES.
  • Iain shares what he would tell his younger self.
