Focus Recap Practitioner or vendor The source of differentiation and power If the firm won’t, you must “I am the expert. (I am the prize.)”

5

Purpose Recap Working from a higher calling, beyond the client Brings motivation beyond the job in front of you Individual purpose augments (compensates for missing) firm-

wide purpose “I am on a mission to help…”

Leadership Recap

Leadership is seeing what others cannot, doing what others will not and creating courage in others to follow

Leading in the sale is challenging the client in a way that grows them and creates future value for all

The physiology of leadership is calm presence

MASTERING DETACHMENT

8

The Detachment Mindset The focus mindset…

“I posses expertise of great value to you.” Followed by purpose…

“I am on a mission…” Then leadership…

“I can do this (help)… if you let me lead..” And finally detachment…

“I know however that all will not follow, and that’s okay.”

Detachment Defined

“Detachment is a state of mind in which you witness, clearly and calmly, with good will, whatever you are seeing, hearing, thinking,

enjoying or suffering as if you are not bound or preoccupied by them.”

10

Attachment and Detachment Attachments are things we need from the relationship that are

not beneficial to the client or this type of relationship They get in the way of delivering value to the client They’re personal and often manifest as improper or impulsive

behavior or behavioral blocks: Talking about money Corralling decision makers Asking uncomfortable questions Pushing too hard, suggesting inappropriate solutions Agreeing to meetings or proposals

11

To What Are We Attached? Three primary internal attachments:

The need to win (achievement) The need to be liked (affiliation) The need for authority or respect (power)

And a primary external attachment: Money

12

A Framework for Detaching1. Identify it

2. Release it

3. Focus on the another behavior or goal

13

1. Identify Your Attachment In advance of the interaction ask: what is it that I need from this

person? Tests:

Four tools: sales, marketing, PR & networking Two piles: money & respect

14

2. Release ItNeed The money

The win

The relationship

The respect

Mantra “I’m rich – money means

nothing to me.” “If this is meant to be, it will

be. I will not force it.” “The relationship is the

reward, not the path.” “I will be kind in my words

and understanding in my behavior.”

15

3. Focus on Another Behavior or Goal The “thing” (proper point of sales process) What you do next (the new behavior) is what rewires the brain The goal “My objective is to help you (benefit) and (benefit).” Say or just think it Benefits are the clients, unearthed earlier in the sales cycle The Three Rs from webcast The Objection

16

Recap1. Identify your attachment

Don’t deny it In advance where possible & when it arises

2. Release it Float it away using your new language The hard part (practice)

3. Refocus on the goal Proper point of sales process State the goal (benefit and benefit) and the proceed

17

The Jedi Mindset “I am the expert; I am the prize.” “I am on a mission to…” “I can only do this [help] if you let me lead. (Follow me.)” “I accept that all will not follow, and that’s okay.” Repeat the mantra beforehand Include or add your specific detachment mantra

Summing Up Many attachments get in the way of the sale but the primary ones

are achievement, affiliation, respect and money Identify what you typically need and work on that over the long

term In the moment: 1. Identify, 2. Release, 3. Refocus The Jedi mindset:

“I am the expert. (I am the prize.) “I am on a mission to..” “I can only do this if you let me lead.” “All will not follow, and that’s okay.”
