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.

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.

Last week I shared with you the sequence for selling to each buyer persona. This week I want to dive a little deeper and explain the persona selling formula. The sequence of selling still remains vital, but the personas themselves need to be further defined.

 

The four personas derive from Hippocrates and his four humours. They are competitive, spontaneous, humanistic, and methodical. These same four personas speak to what makes a hit TV show, a best-selling book, or an Oscar-worthy movie.

We each identify best with one of the four personas and as such want to see ourselves in the things we read and watch. If we don’t, then we’re less engaged. This is why you need to represent each of the four personas in every piece of copy and every presentation. 

 

Our personas are really just preferences, but they heavily impact our buying decisions. So listen in to learn: 

 

  • What the persona selling formula is and where it came from.
  • Why the persona selling formula results in max impact with minimum resistance.
  • How the persona selling formula works, in sequenced steps.
