Join me in the latest MBS podcast episode with the remarkable Craig Andrews, who turned his pandemic adversity into a groundbreaking approach to sales and marketing. Discover how he now empowers high-ticket service businesses to create an irresistible buying environment for their clients. We explored the delicate art of nurturing trust in these extensive sales cycles. It's a game-changer!
The Human Connection in Sales
Craig shared a fascinating insight into the psychology of sales. He explained that when we come shoulder to shoulder with someone to solve a problem, it triggers an uncontrolled release of oxytocin in the body, creating a bond between the customer and the service provider. This biological response is a powerful tool for building trust at an accelerated pace, surpassing any other mechanism known to him.
The Art of the First-Time Offer
During our conversation, Craig emphasized the importance of a compelling first-time offer. This strategy is akin to a coffee date, where the risk is minimal, but the potential for value is high. It's about creating an environment where clients feel comfortable and in control, preserving their autonomy throughout the sales process. This approach allows both parties to evaluate if they're a good fit for each other, ensuring a mutual agreement before moving forward.
Coaching Across Industries
Craig's expertise isn't limited to one niche; he has worked with a diverse range of professionals, from financial advisors to software providers, and even those offering professional liability insurance for attorneys. The commonality among these industries is the need for trust, especially when the sales cycle is long and the stakes are high.
Overcoming the Self-Education Barrier
In today's market, potential clients often educate themselves extensively before making a high-ticket purchase. Craig's approach to overcoming this barrier is to respect the client's research process while providing content that removes risk from their lives and delivers maximum value.
The Fractional CMO Solution
Craig also touched on the concept of a "virtual sea of CMO or CFO," where his team acts as fractional chief marketing officers. This service is particularly beneficial for midsize business owners who can't afford a full-time CMO but need senior direction to refine their marketing strategy.
As we wrapped up the episode, Craig reiterated the importance of first-time offers in revealing the hidden value consultants bring to the table. This realization allows clients to appreciate the worth of the services provided, paving the way for consultants to raise their prices justifiably.
