    "The client really wanted safety" - a bespoke solution is never safer than something tested by time. And I would add that a bias was also used here: fear of loss trumps potential gain. I liked this break down format, learned a lot!!

    Chris and the team, when I started watching your videos around 3 weeks from now I was not sure where it will move my interest. Since that first clip, I can count dozens. Dozens of well crafted, thoughtful, generous acts of bringing what you earned to those you thrilled to hear something they really needed. And you know what? THANK YOU, guys. I appreciate your work so much, that you probably can not imagine. Every second day I listen to a future podcast and every evening I plan my learning time with the future video. I doubled my pricing cost, strengthen the relationships with my clients, cut off on unwanted moves. I could not find anything better. At this point, I am not able to pay you for it, but once it gets better, I promise I will send you something in return. Do more, please!

    @robynleesamuels 4 года назад +4

    Love it. I'd love to see more.
    Also some suggestions:
    I'm not sure if these shows will match your demographic but they have some interesting scenes/storylines about starting your own business and all that jazz.
    1. The Good Wife.
    In season 6 or 7, the main character starts a solo practice and there's an episode thapt shows her navigating working from home, not having an assistant, getting the job done without the resources of a bigger firm. I think some of your audience could relate to that. She also hires an investigator in one of the episodes and it shows those negotiations where she has to decide between the people she wants and those she can afford.
    Negotiating rates etc.
    2. Younger
    They have a lot of episodes where the characters are doing outbound marketing trying to get new potential clients for their publishing house. There are a lot of cold calls, networking events, and looking at what's author's they can pitch.
    Also younger has been renewed for another season so when it premiers in 2021 the video will get more search results again potentially.
    Anyway, I'm excited that you're doing something new.
    3. Gilmore Girls.
    This is probably not anywhere close to your demographic interest but I included it anyway.
    In one season, I can't remember which, 2 if the cast members start their own business as partners but one ends up having to take on more of the business responsibilities and it causes conflict between them. The episode highlights the importance of communication and dealing with internal conflict.

    As a credentialed music teacher and UX designer who spends a _LOT_ of time thinking about and toiling over how best to present ideas so they will take root and autonomously perpetuate deeply into the minds of those I engage with, I absolutely appreciate and value the wise and savvy application of the allegory.
    Of course, breaking down inherently intriguing Hollywood clips that intellectually and emotionally play out these identified scenarios is _way_ more captivating, therefore way _WAY_ more edifying and brain-juicing.

    First of all, thank you for the whole content and your videos. This video is GREAT. I hate it to sell, but as a solo-interpreneur I have to and this video is just an amazing way to explain. If you would say: „find what the customer needs and build on that“ - then I would think - „yeah, thanks, I know the theory“. With the video as example - PERFECT!
    Not many people watched the video and I think it‘s because not many people like to sell. But as a freelancer or (solo-) entrepreneur you have to learn these things because NOBODY will sell for you.

    Common objections that I've come across, in rough order of frequency are...
    - You're too expensive (by far the most common)
    - We're not ready to invest this financial
    - You don't have category experience
    - Your team is too small
    - You're not 'full-service'
    These objections aren't always declared so obviously, which is why the technique of getting them out on the table is perfect.
    Have you seen Chris Voss' work? He calls this the 'accusation audit'. Declaring the unspoken objections removes their power.
    He'd be a great guest and would love to see you guys do some mock negotiations.

    I loved the part where you know if you aren't capable to succeed don't try and don't waste his time and yours. I feel that it has a lot of power, respect and and maturity to be able to pull the breaks or floor it if you mean it.
    I'd love to her more of that course you're talking about

    This pitch is by far a wrestle worth the watch. And your analysis is breathtaking. Thank you.

    Hi Cris!
    I love this kind of content.
    I was thinking about the scene from Mad Men when Don Draper does that amazing pitch about kodak carousel. Seriously, I almost cried.
    There are lot of great other moments in Mad Men.

    I like the analysis as it looked at both sides with pros and cons. Also, many younger people should pay attention to this analysis. Many forget that young or new may get the attention, but experience and the ability to be a chess player wins. I hope you provide more videos like this as it is relevant, concise, and actionable.

      It's tough to stay ahead of time and still be young, but playing according to your strength in that particular time is important because developing your skills as you get older becomes fun, and, you also get to trust the process meanwhile.

    Okay, I admit I sent a copy of this clip to a client of mine that is trying to win business against Goliath. I try to bring value to my clients..even if I'm not the original source. Yup, I subscribed.
