00:00:00.080
It's actually pretty easy to get more customers with AI
00:00:03.120
because most people aren't plugging AI
00:00:05.400
into their sales system the right way.
00:00:07.400
I've trained thousands of entrepreneurs on sales
00:00:10.360
and today run a portfolio of companies
00:00:12.120
that will generate $100 million in revenue this year.
00:00:15.200
And I can tell you that's only possible
00:00:17.520
because of how we're using AI to get new customers.
00:00:20.320
So I'm gonna walk you through the five phases in sales
00:00:23.800
and show you exactly how to use AI to get more customers,
00:00:26.760
whether you've got a full sales team
00:00:28.720
or are you doing it solo?
00:00:30.020
Let's start with the first phase, prospecting.
00:00:32.500
What is prospecting?
00:00:33.760
It's kind of like tapping people on the shoulder
00:00:35.640
and going, do you have this problem?
00:00:36.680
They go, nope.
00:00:37.680
Do you have this problem?
00:00:38.520
Yeah, cool, let's talk.
00:00:40.140
Do you have this problem?
00:00:40.960
Nope.
00:00:41.800
See, I mean, at the end of the day,
00:00:42.640
it's really that simple.
00:00:43.940
Just finding the right people, buyers, for your business.
00:00:47.180
This one is like a no-brainer
00:00:49.080
because it could be 100% automated using AI.
00:00:52.040
To do this, just use any AI-powered CRM,
00:00:55.980
tools like Manus.ai for ICP,
00:00:59.100
which stands for ideal customer profile base lead list,
00:01:02.120
meaning that you tell it what you're looking for.
00:01:05.280
You give them examples from your current customer database
00:01:08.400
and it will go off and do research all around your city
00:01:12.840
or the world and it will find people
00:01:15.060
just like the folks you told it to find.
00:01:17.500
What's cool is you can even tell it
00:01:19.840
to not only identify potential customers,
00:01:22.400
but go deeper and say who within that company
00:01:25.440
is the right person to buy my software
00:01:27.600
and find me the contact details.
00:01:29.720
Oftentimes I ask it to pull full social profiles
00:01:32.760
because I want to look at their family situation.
00:01:34.960
I want to look at their Instagram,
00:01:36.400
obviously their LinkedIn
00:01:37.720
and have that all built out into that spreadsheet.
00:01:40.320
The best part for me is it allows you to focus
00:01:43.200
on what matters more.
00:01:44.820
Recruiting a salesperson, trading the salesperson,
00:01:47.400
you doing the sales call,
00:01:49.020
essentially none of the mechanical work
00:01:51.500
that once you do it once,
00:01:52.780
if you figure out how to like identify a prospect
00:01:55.040
qualify them you can give that to manis as instructions and it'll go off and do that work
00:02:00.000
for you 100 times a thousand times 10 000 times you might have to pay for that version but it is
00:02:05.840
a beautiful tool and ai makes it automated you might be thinking well that's cool then but where
00:02:10.560
am i going to be needed in this whole process well i use this thing called the 1080 10 rule which is
00:02:15.200
10 ideation 80 execution and 10 integration so that first 10 is ideating with my team or friends
00:02:23.280
and figuring out who is my perfect customer then the 80 is giving it over to manis and saying you
00:02:28.720
go execute the research you go find things you test things i need you to go do all the heavy
00:02:34.000
lifting and the last 10 is the integration where i might go through and i might just do a quick
00:02:39.120
sniff test yep that's good yes that's good yes that's good the cool part is is qualifying what
00:02:44.080
it found for me and feeding it back to it only makes it better that strategy you'll see throughout
00:02:49.040
this whole video where i like to plug in only in the parts that i'm needed because i think humans
00:02:54.640
in the loop is actually really the competitive advantage right as a director i have taste i have
00:03:00.080
vision and i have care the ai can automate all the pieces i don't need to do a second third a
00:03:05.520
hundredth time so that i can have the time to actually talk to people so now that ai has given
00:03:10.240
you a list of real prospects the next step is making sure conversations actually turn into
00:03:14.880
customers that's where qualifying comes in qualifying is double clicking on the person
00:03:20.560
to see if they actually have the pain that your service can solve for them the biggest mistake
00:03:25.680
that people make in sales is to think everybody is a potential customer even if i've got the ai to
00:03:31.280
create a leads list it doesn't mean they're the right people and for what it's worth having
00:03:36.000
somebody do a ton of sales calls and use that as like a metric of success i did 300 calls today
00:03:41.200
when they're calling people that could have never bought should have never bought in the first place
00:03:44.880
that's a vanity metric.
00:03:46.400
I wanna make sure that they're only reaching out
00:03:48.600
to qualified people, because that's what matters.
00:03:51.300
This is a crazy story.
00:03:52.720
I have a CEO in one of our companies called Revio.
00:03:55.220
They do a CRM for sell by chat using AI.
00:03:58.440
He had on his homepage
00:04:00.020
where anybody could book into his calendar.
00:04:02.860
At one point, he's doing 50 hours a week of sales calls,
00:04:07.280
but only five were with qualified buyers.
00:04:10.200
All we did was use youratlas.com
00:04:13.000
so that when people went to book in,
00:04:14.780
It would first call them to qualify them
00:04:17.160
to make sure they were even in the realm
00:04:18.840
of a potential buyer,
00:04:20.280
and then only let those people book into his calendar.
00:04:23.540
That bought him back 95% of his week
00:04:26.720
so that he could focus on product and growth.
00:04:29.120
I look at AI kind of like my spam filter, my email.
00:04:32.420
It has the ability to block junk
00:04:34.700
from entering my calendar in the first place
00:04:36.600
and fills it only with high intent leads.
00:04:38.740
See, your biggest expense is just not doing the thing
00:04:41.900
that makes you the most money.
00:04:43.420
So check this out.
00:04:44.700
I'm gonna do a quick demo with youratlas.com
00:04:47.580
because anybody watching can literally go there and do it.
00:04:50.020
The first thing is I'm gonna just pretend
00:04:51.620
I'm a new lead coming in to that platform.
00:04:54.500
All right, so I am at youratlas.com.
00:04:57.360
I enter in my details and I say, talk to the AI.
00:05:01.740
Speaking with Dan?
00:05:03.000
Yeah, this is Dan.
00:05:04.360
Great, thanks for confirming Dan.
00:05:05.680
How's your day going so far?
00:05:06.920
Then let's say I ask it a basic question,
00:05:09.080
like how much does it cost?
00:05:10.800
I'm doing incredible, Emma.
00:05:12.620
I just got a quick question about your platform
00:05:14.960
and like, just how much does it cost?
00:05:17.560
I'm glad to hear you're doing incredible, Dan.
00:05:19.500
Regarding the pricing, the investment details
00:05:21.460
will be covered during a call with our founder
00:05:23.320
who can explain the full value proposition
00:05:25.320
and answer all your questions.
00:05:26.580
Now, I wanna book a meeting,
00:05:28.700
so it helps me schedule that meeting.
00:05:30.860
Let's schedule a call.
00:05:31.820
Great, Dan, let me confirm a couple of details
00:05:33.680
before I check the calendar.
00:05:35.100
Your name is Dan Martell.
00:05:36.480
Yeah.
00:05:37.320
Your email name is Dan Martell.
00:05:38.160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, you got all my details.
00:05:39.200
Do you see how powerful that is?
00:05:40.740
It is wild what it can do
00:05:42.540
before anybody even books into the calendar.
00:05:44.780
And that was all AI, no human involved.
00:05:47.400
And it is always happy, doesn't take vacations
00:05:50.020
and never will complain.
00:05:51.300
Plus it can then also ask other questions
00:05:53.620
like qualify me a little harder,
00:05:55.120
like what's my marketing spend or how big is my team?
00:05:57.740
And the best part, everything on the backend
00:06:00.580
is recorded, transcribed and added to the CRM.
00:06:03.420
So there's no note taking
00:06:04.960
and it's easy to review my customer profiles.
00:06:07.300
I can use that information later
00:06:08.560
to have somebody else take over the sales conversation
00:06:10.720
or for onboarding if they become a new customer.
00:06:13.000
That's a great start to getting 10 times as many customers,
00:06:16.200
spending time only where it counts.
00:06:18.080
So now that you've filtered out all the junk
00:06:20.080
and you filled your calendar with real buyers,
00:06:22.580
now we can move on to using AI in the next phase,
00:06:25.380
presenting your offer.
00:06:26.700
When it comes to selling, we have to present.
00:06:30.020
Some people call it a pitch, some people call it an offer.
00:06:32.540
But at the end of the day,
00:06:33.520
we have to explain to the potential buyer
00:06:36.220
how their problems get solved with your service or solution.
00:06:39.580
And the more specific, personalized,
00:06:42.340
the more information you have to present it,
00:06:44.520
it's gonna make you a weapon
00:06:45.840
when it comes to getting customers to buy.
00:06:47.880
Problem is, is buyers don't buy features.
00:06:50.340
They buy solutions, they buy benefits.
00:06:53.460
And too often people are stuck
00:06:55.180
just presenting a bunch of crap
00:06:56.700
that doesn't tell them how it's gonna impact their life.
00:06:59.220
So what's cool is AI uses the record you've built so far.
00:07:02.440
Think about it, the Manus research and the CRM,
00:07:05.380
the Your Atlas transcript of pre-qualifying,
00:07:08.840
any other data I could find on the internet
00:07:10.820
and it can generate a tailored proposal
00:07:13.100
for you to use on that call.
00:07:14.920
And to me, it goes way beyond a simple template
00:07:17.680
with a name swap.
00:07:18.900
This is about a custom proposal.
00:07:21.220
This strategy is so powerful that my buddy Simon,
00:07:25.400
who has this software called Hello Frank,
00:07:27.220
it's an AI for financial services,
00:07:29.340
used it, the exact prompts I'm gonna teach you,
00:07:32.220
to present an offer in seven minutes
00:07:34.660
that generated over $100,000 in sales
00:07:37.300
because it agitated the pain.
00:07:39.480
It had a clear value proposition.
00:07:41.800
It was so easy to understand.
00:07:43.700
It was literally like the person goes,
00:07:46.080
ouch, yes, thank you, credit card.
00:07:48.980
When you can describe your customer's pain better
00:07:51.760
than they can explain it to you,
00:07:53.500
you instantly become the expert
00:07:55.160
and they're gonna wanna buy.
00:07:56.120
So here's how you do it for yourself.
00:07:58.020
Create a new project in ChatGPT and call it Sales Offer.
00:08:02.580
Then what you wanna do is you wanna upload
00:08:04.460
the current offer template,
00:08:06.740
your product and service overview,
00:08:08.920
and all the information you have on that potential buyer
00:08:12.100
so you can use that to customize it.
00:08:14.080
So what I do is I create a separate chat
00:08:16.200
for each potential buyer and I use this system prompt
00:08:19.580
to generate the offer specifically for that buyer.
00:08:22.260
And essentially I say, combine the prospect CRM info,
00:08:25.300
the transcripts and every other note that I have
00:08:27.500
and use the template offer
00:08:29.100
and output a personalized proposal
00:08:31.260
addressing the pain points and priorities they express.
00:08:34.080
For example, for Simon, we did this exact same strategy,
00:08:37.460
and then all I added is a little extra,
00:08:39.460
which I said, present it using a VSL, video sales letter,
00:08:43.900
really agitating the pain.
00:08:45.800
That was it.
00:08:46.720
The cool part is not only does it give you the offer,
00:08:49.280
it'll then give you the language in the script
00:08:51.780
to use on the call with your potential buyer
00:08:54.860
that really gets them connected to the pain
00:08:56.980
and excited to buy from you.
00:08:58.360
And as I mentioned, for each new prospect,
00:09:00.080
you just start a new chat
00:09:01.220
and you just upload the new information from your CRM
00:09:03.640
and just ask it to do that same thing with the prompt.
00:09:06.060
That way you'll have a customized personal proposal
00:09:09.400
for each new sales call you've got booked in your calendar.
00:09:12.200
Now here's a pro tip.
00:09:13.460
A lot of new people starting in sales,
00:09:15.580
the person goes, just send me a proposal.
00:09:17.440
And they're like, okay, here you go, attachment.
00:09:20.820
Are you interested?
00:09:21.960
No, they're not.
00:09:23.380
So the trick is never send a proposal.
00:09:25.560
Always schedule the call to review the proposal.
00:09:28.160
The reason that call works better
00:09:29.700
is because there's a human to human conversation
00:09:32.160
and you can hear in their voice if they've got concerns,
00:09:34.380
you can ask them about some of the objections
00:09:36.120
they brought up, and you can also get a commitment
00:09:39.000
on the call, which you're not gonna get over email
00:09:41.040
if you just send a proposal.
00:09:42.100
That's why we wanna highlight your humanity
00:09:44.580
where it counts and use AI to do all the stuff
00:09:47.260
that you don't need to be involved in.
00:09:48.980
Essentially, ChatGPT outputs a personalized offer.
00:09:52.420
You deliver it human to human.
00:09:54.480
But here's the deal.
00:09:55.560
Even with a strong offer, prospects will still have doubts.
00:09:59.140
Here's how we use AI so we can prepare
00:10:01.520
to handle any objection that come up
00:10:03.920
without losing the human touch.
00:10:05.800
Objection handling equals human work.
00:10:08.720
It requires empathy.
00:10:10.300
It requires courage to tell the truth.
00:10:12.440
To me, the sale doesn't even start
00:10:14.300
until somebody brings up an objection.
00:10:16.060
If you do it right and you bring it up yourself,
00:10:18.760
then it's an obstacle that you can overcome.
00:10:20.920
If you wait till they bring it up,
00:10:22.020
then it's actually an objection.
00:10:23.440
Sales is not about convincing people
00:10:25.300
to do stuff they don't wanna do.
00:10:26.380
It's about giving someone the courage to take a leap
00:10:28.800
they already wanna make in the first place.
00:10:30.660
For me, AI in this context and role
00:10:32.860
is about practice and feedback.
00:10:35.160
So the other day, my buddy Jake, top sales guy,
00:10:38.520
he was dealing with selling a new product, a new offer,
00:10:42.000
and he was getting objections.
00:10:43.440
And he was getting nervous because when they came up,
00:10:45.800
he didn't have the script.
00:10:47.120
He didn't have a process, so it was clunky.
00:10:49.400
And I said, okay, bro, why don't we just open up,
00:10:52.600
chat GPT, ask it the questions and say,
00:10:55.880
hey, here are the objections I'm getting.
00:10:58.060
This is the offer.
00:10:58.940
Can you give me questions to help the person see
00:11:02.120
why the product or the service is valuable to them?
00:11:06.440
And we hit enter and it just went.
00:11:08.900
It gave him five objections and five questions
00:11:12.020
and talk tracks to respond to each objection.
00:11:14.540
He said, whoa, number three is really cool.
00:11:16.960
Said, check this out.
00:11:18.260
Give me 10 more.
00:11:19.640
Enter, 10 more objections, questions asked,
00:11:23.780
talk tracks to guide the person
00:11:25.380
to make the decision themselves.
00:11:26.640
To me, Jake is the human.
00:11:30.480
AI is there to give Jake new information to help the human.
00:11:34.700
That is how sales is completely changed.
00:11:38.000
To me, I'm always trying to help somebody
00:11:39.860
understand the pain they're currently in,
00:11:41.940
the potential future that they want.
00:11:43.920
And then I'm walking them across that bridge,
00:11:46.680
them hand in hand because they want to make the decision,
00:11:50.120
but they're scared to do it.
00:11:51.760
So here's how you can use AI every day
00:11:53.960
to get better at objection handling.
00:11:55.600
The first thing is let's make sure you have transcriptions
00:11:58.740
of all your calls, or if you're doing sell by chat,
00:12:01.100
that you somehow collect that information.
00:12:02.920
You wanna store either the calls
00:12:04.580
or the transcript in a Google Doc.
00:12:06.540
Now, after you got at least five or more,
00:12:08.940
plug those into ChatGPT.
00:12:10.660
You can upload audio files, it'll transcribe it,
00:12:13.120
or you can copy and paste from a document
00:12:15.060
and ask it to give you insights that you might have missed.
00:12:17.880
The third is you wanna ask it how you can improve
00:12:20.280
in the future based on those insights.
00:12:22.320
See, it has full context of the best sales trainers,
00:12:26.180
the best information ever created in the history of mankind,
00:12:29.760
and it can give you insights into your sales process.
00:12:32.560
Here's how you really make it specific to you.
00:12:35.120
You ask it to act like a world-class salesperson
00:12:38.220
specializing in your industry.
00:12:40.840
For example, a coach over sell by chat,
00:12:43.480
a doctor that does plastic surgery doing consults,
00:12:46.320
an HVAC person going door to door.
00:12:48.620
When you give it the specific context,
00:12:50.600
the answers and feedback it gives you
00:12:52.400
to help deal with objections is next level.
00:12:54.880
And lastly, you wanna use it to role play.
00:12:57.240
I'm a big fan of saying,
00:12:58.400
hey, I wanna role play with you, act as a potential buyer,
00:13:01.420
here's your scenario, here's me as a salesperson,
00:13:04.280
respond and interact with me
00:13:05.720
so that I can get better at practicing my objective handling
00:13:08.660
and at the very end, give me a score or a grade.
00:13:11.020
I coach thousands of entrepreneurs
00:13:13.300
on how to increase their brand and the media side
00:13:15.800
and also get better at growing their business,
00:13:17.480
so marketing and sales.
00:13:18.800
The sales part's fascinating to me
00:13:20.540
because anybody that's having a hard time with sales,
00:13:23.020
knowing that AI can solve their problem,
00:13:25.340
it's no longer a problem.
00:13:27.040
If you don't think you're good at sales,
00:13:29.320
that may be a fact, but it doesn't have to be true anymore
00:13:33.060
because AI will do the selling for you
00:13:36.060
if you just talk to it, give it the information,
00:13:38.540
ask it to give you the questions, the talk tracks,
00:13:41.280
save that in a Google document.
00:13:43.000
As you're doing the sales call, just follow the process.
00:13:46.600
The difference between an amateur salesperson
00:13:48.840
and a professional salesperson is the pro
00:13:51.780
always follows the process 100% of the time.
00:13:54.740
The cool part is you're still letting your human touch shine,
00:13:57.820
having those conversations, being in the chats,
00:14:00.640
but AI just helps you shine brighter.
00:14:02.960
Now, once you've earned their trust
00:14:04.940
and overcame their objection,
00:14:06.320
it's time to close and start the relationship
00:14:08.480
on the right foot.
00:14:09.540
The next step is closing and delivery.
00:14:11.900
So closing, I don't even like that word.
00:14:14.180
I like to call it enrollment.
00:14:15.700
I like to have them join your thing,
00:14:17.760
get inside your group, serve them.
00:14:20.500
Because to me, it sets the tone
00:14:22.100
for long-term partnership, right?
00:14:23.660
I love asking people, are you joining my team?
00:14:26.040
You wanna become a partner?
00:14:27.240
Like all those things are sales.
00:14:29.360
And then delivery is about once you got a payment,
00:14:33.020
how do you onboard that customer as fast as possible?
00:14:36.060
One of the things that I love to do
00:14:37.900
is to celebrate other people.
00:14:39.640
So in my agreements, when I start working with somebody,
00:14:43.280
I say it in the agreement that once they achieve a win,
00:14:47.760
that they have to tell me.
00:14:49.460
I literally make them initial it.
00:14:51.780
That way, when they get a win and they share it with me,
00:14:54.920
I then ask them permission
00:14:56.300
to share their story with somebody else.
00:14:58.260
It's not for marketing, it's for them.
00:15:00.920
See, I believe that if somebody's working with me
00:15:03.080
and they get a win and they agree
00:15:04.600
to share that win with the world,
00:15:06.200
then it's gonna hold them accountable to build momentum.
00:15:09.280
And having AI do all the busy work,
00:15:11.480
onboarding, creating accounts,
00:15:12.780
and even monitoring for those wins
00:15:14.720
allows me to do the thing that I love to do,
00:15:16.540
which is celebrate with my clients.
00:15:18.180
Everything you want in life
00:15:19.860
is on the back end of a conversation,
00:15:22.160
the back end of a relationship,
00:15:23.780
the back end of someone trusting you with something valuable.
00:15:27.160
Now we gotta put this into action
00:15:29.100
and I'll make this one super easy for you to do.
00:15:31.860
First step is to go download the exact offer template
00:15:34.720
I use in every single one of my businesses.
00:15:36.700
Just hit the link in the description
00:15:38.280
and you'll get it for free.
00:15:39.380
The second is once you have that,
00:15:41.060
drop it in your favorite AI tool, I like ChatGPT,
00:15:43.940
and fill in the blanks for your specific business.
00:15:47.040
Do that and you'll walk away with an offer so good,
00:15:49.900
people will feel silly saying no.
00:15:51.840
Now, once you close the deal,
00:15:53.980
you need to do two things immediately.
00:15:56.120
First, once they buy, I want you to make them feel pumped.
00:15:59.320
Ask them this question, how do you feel?
00:16:01.700
After they buy, the reason why
00:16:03.780
is you wanna get rid of buyer's remorse.
00:16:05.680
They might feel like nervous, excited, whatever,
00:16:08.120
just celebrate that.
00:16:09.300
Just let them know this was the right decision
00:16:11.960
and you're excited to be working with them.
00:16:13.280
The second thing is I need you to get them a win
00:16:15.540
as fast as possible.
00:16:16.480
What I do is I send them three videos on my YouTube
00:16:19.360
that I know will set them up for success right away.
00:16:22.600
You might have internal documents,
00:16:24.060
you might have another process.
00:16:25.480
My coach Alan has a 16 day cleanse,
00:16:27.780
get some results very fast.
00:16:29.400
That starts the momentum.
00:16:30.980
That's human, that's not AI.
00:16:32.960
The more you can design this where you're involved
00:16:35.480
to celebrate with the human
00:16:36.620
and not get involved in all the backend stuff,
00:16:38.720
the better you are for your business.
00:16:40.700
With all that, you're now on your way
00:16:42.520
to getting 10 times as many customers.
00:16:44.280
But remember, here's one thing that AI will never replace,
00:16:47.820
and that's your humanity.
00:16:49.480
You know, AI can only analyze everything
00:16:51.620
that's ever been created by humans,
00:16:53.740
but it hasn't done a good job for creating new things, right?
00:16:57.120
When I think of taste, being able to decipher
00:16:59.740
what's a great song, what's a great meal,
00:17:01.960
what's a great piece of copy,
00:17:03.360
that part is very, very human,
00:17:05.200
and it requires repetition and experience in life
00:17:08.740
to really get good at this.
00:17:10.280
When I think of vision, having a vision for a life
00:17:12.520
that doesn't exist yet, that should.
00:17:15.040
That's hard.
00:17:16.100
I'm excited because AI is taking care of 90% of the doing
00:17:20.340
that I used to have to do,
00:17:21.820
so I can be in the driver's seat,
00:17:23.380
being a director, talking to people.
00:17:25.940
Buyers don't wanna buy from a bot,
00:17:27.960
they wanna buy from people.
00:17:29.780
AI will shift your time
00:17:31.340
so that you can double down on what matters.
00:17:34.000
The future isn't man or machine, it's man with machine.
00:17:38.940
And sales is a very human process.
00:17:41.660
and I know there's a lot of people out there
00:17:43.000
talking about how it can automate the sales process.
00:17:46.060
Trust me, the thing that's gonna differentiate you
00:17:48.620
from everybody else is your humanity,
00:17:50.820
you showing up, being you.
00:17:52.760
Use AI to do all the other stuff.
00:17:54.880
Now, if you wanna learn how to get ahead of 99%
00:17:57.100
of the people with AI, click here,
00:17:58.740
and I'll see you on the other side.
