Which comes first, the story or the statement? When you’re trying to implement ethical influence into your sales process, the best way to start is with a story. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but that is exactly how I start each and every one of my episodes.

Dale’s Magic Formula

All Selling Aside with Alex Mandossian | "Seeding Through Storytelling is the 'New' Selling!"

When you’re looking to sell your products or services, it’s not the head of your customer that you’re trying to win. Instead, you’re trying to win their hearts. What’s the best way to do this? By telling a story that has your client or customer demanding to work with you.

Calculate Your Worth

Would you say your net worth affects your self-worth? For many, this is a true statement. Not because money is everything, but because when you make more money your mind believes you are worth more. Why does this matter?

History’s Greatest Salesman

Selling through collaboration rather than confrontation is a key skill that most successful salespeople cultivate to their advantage. One of the greatest salesmen in history used this same skill to sell the hope of Christianity to the Greeks. Who was this amazing salesman?

Anatomy of Movements

When you create a movement you create a community of members who are highly engaged with you and amongst themselves. Creating a movement is significantly more lucrative than finding a market because of that engagement. I’m sharing everything you need to know about the elements of a movement, why they outperform markets, and how you can monetize them.

Accelerated Learning Tips

Despite being completely down and out after a failed business venture that was financed by my family, my love of learning was the key to my healing. I was depressed and felt like a complete failure, but I knew that I could learn and overcome. The teaching of Nightingale-Conant became my lifeline.

In 2006 I ran the first of many Teleseminar Secrets Challenges. Those challenges changed the lives of thousands of people but more importantly we created a movement of people making money through making connections.

It’s the year 2012 and I’m in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia after a 5-Day Guerilla Business Intensive event. During this event, like so many others, I noticed the difference between people who took action and changed their lives and those who stayed safe. What I was contemplating however was what the distinction was between them.

For many people in the world, not just entrepreneurs, but human beings in general, there is a constant need to be more productive… but what does that mean? Better yet, why do we work so hard to be productive, but not necessarily effective?

For many years I have implemented a morning routine to build my skills as a copywriter. Every single morning, I sit down for 33 minutes and 33 seconds, I have this set on a timer, and write out ads written by the great copywriters. I spend time studying the process and the words so that I can master copywriting.

Copywriting is one of the most learnable skills in business, but so many people don’t want to do it. On March 9th, 2003, my birthday, I was reading the Gary Halbert Letter. The letter starts off with some person asking Gary if they could become a great copywriter in 30 days. Gary says “yes,” and then goes on to explain how.

The moral of the story is that to become great at any skill, you have to immerse yourself in the skill. Whether you’re writing out great ads, immersing yourself in a new language, experiential immersion is the key to fluency.

Keep in mind that you don’t need to master a skill to use that skill. You simply need to be fluent in it. Listen in as I share these three key insights about learnable skill secrets:

Why learnable skills lead to accelerated growth and profit.
Why learnable skill secrets are transferable to your team.
How learnable skills do NOT require mastery or fluency.

Once you’ve become fluent at a skill, you can transfer that skill to your team through experiential immersion and role-play. Listen in to hear how.
