Just wanted to drop you a little ‘nugget’ of the week from my sales arsenal.  

I want to share with you 2 open ended questions that I love asking my clients or potential clients. They are simple questions that build trust and really set you off on the best foot and prepare you for a great relationship. 

This can be done with existing clients or in the discovery phase. 

I want you to ask them about their previous experience with working with anyone that did something similar to you. For example, if you are a coach you would say: 

“When working with a coach in the past, what were some of the things you like about working with them?” 

Try and  open them up by saying ‘tell me more about that’ and you’ll be able to find a lot about how they like to be worked with. Follow it up by: 

“What are some things you disliked about working with them?” 

This will help you stay ahead of things...

Ultramarathon runner and former Navy Seal David Goggins (and author of Can't Hurt Me) has been interviewed on many popular podcasts and talks about a mindset hack called the 'Cookie Jar'.

The Cookie Jar is to help you get past the toughest obstacles, when self doubt creeps in, when you are wiped out and want to quit. 

But we know that your success lies just past that point of wanting to quit. 

What is the Cookie Jar? 

Imagine a large jar into which you place all of your past accomplishments—the things you did which you once believed would be too terrifying, too difficult, or too impossible. 

But you did them anyway. 

You transcended your own self-limiting belief. 

Those are the "cookies" you place in the jar.
