How to Sell High Ticket Offers
Always on the GROW with Manny Vargas
There's different types of environments that you can get the opportunity to sell high ticket offers. I've been selling high ticket offers for quite some time, probably about 7 years. These different environments that I've sold were: Live Events, over the phone, and one to ones. Interesting part — a lot of the hard work is not done by someone like me in this High ticket environment, but a lot of the work gets done by the speaker themselves when they're on stage. I've sold products anywhere from $2,000 all the way up to $250,000. Right now, my sweet spot is in between $10,000 and $50,000....

Take Responsibility and Recreate Yourself
Always on the GROW with Manny Vargas
Leadership, hiring and training, and other sorts of the intricacies of business are the building blocks of business. Back in the day when I was running restaurants here in Las Vegas, I was doing a pretty good business. At least, that’s what I thought. Till the day, I received a nasty email from one of my employees. It’s a resignation letter where she explained what a laziest and most self-involved person I was. I was hiring employees, finding fault with every small thing, putting the blame on them for every mistake of mine — it was all a “big mess”. Now it was back in 2013, the year...

info_outlineWe just finished up the Super Bowl here in Las Vegas and it was all a madness experience for people who came.
The festivities were large and charged. Arguably one of the best experiences of the time spent here for the full week or week plus of what was going on here in Vegas.
My friend who's the chief marketing officer of Resorts World and he said it was the busiest time ever in his 20 years of being in Vegas.
Watch FULL YOUTUBE EPISODE HERE
What made this Super bowl so special?
Unlike the NFL or Formula 1, they made it a full Fan Experience: they were committed to integrating the fans and the people with every stop that they possibly could around town, so that the kids, the moms, the dads, the brothers, the sisters could all be a part of something.
What a fascinating picture that paints?
There was a magnificent appeal to the greater people to be a part of something special and meet their favorite stars, go to one part of the town and engage in this activity and then go down here and throw a football, and then go to a concert that night.
But the real question for you is: What is ‘Your Super Bowl’?
In this episode I’m gonna through intriguing questions that would help you reach success in business and in life:
-What is ‘Your Super Bowl’?
-What are you working for? What is going to be the ‘Super Bowl’ for you? Have you defined that for yourself?
-What playing field are you on? Do you know what you're doing on this playing field? Do you have the Playbook? Do you have the rule book?
Inspirational Quotes from the episode:
-In business and in life, a goal not as defined as it is, unlike in sports like as in a super bowl
-Did you hit the glory of where you potentially could be in your life which you had defined to be ‘Your Superbowl’?
-Lot of us haven't really thought of yet to figure out within what context are we playing the game of Life
-We have not thought of what context are we living through and figuring out how to operate in a system
-We have not thought of the boundaries/ limits of a place that allows us to do our best
-In business, it's actually much more muddled than you would think when it comes to playing football
