The Man Who Offered to Beat Me Up
"51-year-old formerly obese Internet Marketing Expert meets 30-year-old Superman-fit Martial Arts Expert in Quick-Kill Match. Register now."
Gee, I wonder who would win? I'd lose even if I went armed. What would you have done? How would you have responded to his offer?
Unless you're a fighter looking for a match, you'd probably toss this offer in the trash. I often wonder what people are thinking. Does this guy really think I'll fight him? And then, if I lose, I'll gladly smile and start marketing him? I don't claim to be a fighter and am not seeking bouts. I'm also not seeking new clients. Especially clients who want to break my nose to prove they are better than me. When you reach out to anyone, keep in mind that no one likes to be told they are inferior. It is not a good way to win friends and influence people. In fact, it's not a good way to do much of anything.
I think the lesson here is that we all have egos. The better way to approach people is to put your ego under theirs. In other words, be willing to lower your status. Don't flaunt your stuff. Instead, show your weakness and ask for help. This nervy fighter might have done better by offering to teach me his new method, not offering to embarrass me with it. This works in your marketing, too.
Rather than boast that you or your business is the greatest, focus on how you or your business can make your customer or client the greatest.
See the difference?
This redirection of focus can trigger a true transformation in your sales.
Take heed.
See you in the ring.
