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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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. 

 

I didn’t truly realize the significance of creating a movement until the end of 2008. We were in the middle of the Great Recession and I had just finished selling over 800 spots in my Teleseminar Secrets program. The only issue was that the majority of those sales came from affiliates which have a higher refund rate. 

 

My goal was to hold on to as many of those students as possible, so I created a Facebook page for them to go to and interact with each other. This was pre-Facebook groups so I did what I could to maximize the use of the platform. Engagement was higher than ever amongst my students and I ended up only having to give about 30 refunds. Which is amazing. 

 

Why did this work? Because rather than sell to a market, I created a movement for my students. I gave them a place to connect and engage and learn from one another as they implemented the information they learned in the course. Listen to learn how you can create your own movement and retain the majority of your students and sales. Your three key insights are: 

 

  • What the three functional elements of constructing any movement are.
  • Why creating movements in business outperform finding markets. 
  • How to convert the three movement elements into money making tools. 

 

What kind of movement will you make?
