[00:41] How to turn vague client requests into sales.

[01:07] Trying to decipher the vague request and make recommendations can be frustrating. Stop and take the opportunity to reframe this in your mind.

[02:03] Coming across as unhelpful can repel the potential client.

[04:22] Giving them something to start with gives their brain a chance to start working on what they actually want.

[06:56] It's your job to give the potential client a menu and get them started.

[07:25] Thank you so much, I can absolutely help you with that. Here are a few questions for specific options.

[08:27] Give the potential client a menu with three options.

[10:01] Which option is the best fit for you? Would you like to discuss any further?

[12:21] You want to give the information gatherer something to take back to their client.

[13:26] Externally motivated people may be attracted to the most popular option, because they like to know what other people are buying.

[14:52] Make it easy for them to say yes to one of your options.

[15:17] Leave the door open for them to reach out at a later date.

[00:41] How to handle those tire kickers? Turn them into committed clients or 'bless and release".

[01:47] Nikki defines "tire kicker".

[03:00] Are you doing something to continue this behavior and allow it to keep going?

[04:09] There's always a balance of power in sales.

[05:04] Starting with a pre-frame in order to set expectations. "The purpose of today's call is to answer any last calls, and then we'll decide today whether we'll be working together."

[08:15] "Bless and release" or stopping lobbing the ball back and forth.

[09:45] "If you're not ready now, I respect that. Reach out to me when you're ready to move forward."

[10:06] Playing cat. Pulling back a little bit and letting them take action in order to move forward.

[13:34] When they're not ready to move forward, you must stop coaching and giving free advice.

[14:38] Some "tire kickers" will just continue to take and take.
