You should google "The Drafting Technique" and check it out. You should also google "How to Become Famous" and click that too. It's the 4th result, and more about getting credibility there.
Like almost any other video... a lot of bullshit talk, ZERO concretes. That's why this video don't even have 100k views after almost 4(!) years. And yet you try to "teach" other's "how to sell"? That's a good joke...
Autumn Cieply that's actually the easy part... it really depends on what you're selling.. some products are obvious, such as tangible physical products.. in this case, once they show interest, you need to move them along the sales process.. within the sales process, after eliciting/validating their problems, present the best solution.. this is where you can be pushy.. for example, they want "A" solution, but you know should really push "B" solution although it's more expensive / most expensive, but you know it serves them better (assuming solution B suits their needs and better than solution A).. pretty much after eliciting their wants and needs, you can be "pushy" all they way.. assuming their best interest in mind of course...
Very good. I think this has been my exact problem. I've tended to be the person that sent out one email(well not quite that bad, but close) after I did a ton of work on a product and can't understand why so few people made a purchase.
Its the same with my situations .. i have a lot of friends in social media... but when i post my selling products, they not interested at all. Just a few like hits my post. so sad 😪😊
Enough already... it's just simple math... the conversion rate for sales is 1% - 3% point blank, working hard to "sell people" on your product is great and dandy but it barely moves the needle and won't really make sense to tackle until you a really large company who has saturated a particular audience and are now trying to increase your bottom line on that audience. The product should already be "easy" enough to convert seamlessly to 1-3% in sales, so if you aren't getting sales from your views it means you don't have enough of an audience or something is wrong with your product. That's why most companies conduct market testing first, if the product has a lower than average conversion rate, then something is wrong with the product. What's wrong with the product is usually three factors 1. There's no need for it 2. People don't know what it is/how to use it 3. There's already something out there that does the same thing they are already familiar with And likewise, If the product has an average conversion rate but isn't selling enough, then there isn't enough of an audience. If this person has "a bunch of followers" on facebook etc, assuming they're a targetted audience and not people she "bought" the conversion rate for sales should be even higher 10-20% so if she's not converting to any sales at all within that then her product isn't marketed correctly, her audience has already started churning (your audience has a short attention span if you don't keep replacing them they WILL move on), but most likely she's like most people who have 3k followers put an ad up and expect that they'll get a sale from 2000 of them, but realistically the number should be more like 60 - 300, and worse if you haven't been consistently building your audience to keep replacing the ones who bought once and aren't repeat buyers or churn over time. There really is no magic to it like you people try to push with all these stupid e books and the like.
I'm 18 and I just started making accounts for an online shopping website and currently I'm grossing about $500 a month. Imma try what you said in this video and a couple other videos and see how that works. Thank you so much for the tips
I did too, at first. But it makes him funny and entertaining to watch, it's cool. Derek, you have mad skills. It's the way you teach and communicate. You remind me of Tim Ferriss. That's a good thing :) But you're funnier. Keep up the good work!
Provide the value first and over deliver. My first online purchase was from a guy who had already given me a tonne of value, so I felt that I had already had the value I was paying for.
Thanks Derek, love your energy. Selling aggressively is tricky or rather being specific about the possible outcomes people could expect for themselves if they buy your/my product is tricky. I think for me I am concerned about over promising and under delivering. My product is good I believe (as you noted) but it is probably only as good as the effort people put into it.
Thanks for the great video. One issue I have is that I sell non-necessary products -- art originals and prints. How do you sell a product that, while attractive, is not a need-to-have item, especially in our current economy?
Good Stuff. Made me realize that I'm great at selling my life coaching biz because I have 100% proof i give big results. It also made me realize I'm selling myself short with one-on-ones. I should reach more people. This video also made me realize why I don't get as many big writing gigs as I'd like. I needed a push to get pushy to the right people. I now have three meetings set up with CEOs to talk about writing more. Thanks! I needed that push.
Brilliant stuff. I actually wrote an article where I said the overall secret to success is selling because we all have to sell, whether we're selling products, services or ourselves, in either our business or personal lives. I love the reinforcement here about pushing oneself when needed and delivering value all the other times. Let's see if I'll do it when I've finished editing my book.
A decent enlightening post that you have shared and appreciate your work for sharing the data. I value your endeavors and all the best. Praise your work and continue sharing your data.
this video was pleasantly aggressive. I felt motivated, not attacked, while I learned something new. Not something many marketing gUrUs know how to do. Subscribed:)
Good content. I need to push harder, because potential clients are missing out on millions of dollars of potential trading profits because they aren't in touch with me.
Nice video. Thank you. I am always thinking about which idea to go to hundred percent on I have 1 million ideas all the time and I follow through with most but as far as marketing and packaging to sell I feel that I fall short. Just an idea for another video unless you have already made it.
Thanks Derek! The problem is that when I tried to help a Personal Trainer out for free, he tells me he is going to do everything himself. What do I do? I'm probably not selling myself hard enough or he's afraid I'll charge him.
I came up with the "Everything I need to know about Marketing, I learned at Summer camp" I loved ARCHERY! Wait for the right time and hit that ONE BIG TARGET for the big money! What was your fave thing at summer camp?
I recently started working in a mobile company and have a hard time selling to some people. People have developed a bit of fear from making deals with us. I guess they have been lied to a lot the past years from overpushy and ambitious sellers. Bad thing is our managers are those overpushy and ambitious liars from the past. My question to you is what would you recommend follow this "lie and succeed" politic or be creative and try to win people's trust?
I find your information helpful. Advertising, marketing, and putting what you can offer to resolve someone else's problem or deliver what someone else needs seems hard and at times impossible. I am a travel agent. I want to deliver the vacations that linger in the mind of my clients for a lifetime. Problem, who can stay at peak experience impression mode constantly? Some days there is no experience or land that appeals.
People's situations are unique, but the solutions can be common. The wisdom of sales is mapping how the solutions can be helpful for each individual's situation. We all don't need a different salad, our bodies can process what is needed for each individual, individually. But as you describe, it is hard to connect how similar solutions apply to unique situations in a single touch (and not bore everyone), so multiple touches (email, video, twitter) allow for you to map how the solution will meet.
I'm a lapdancer and I'm attractive and slim and pretty but I'm shit at selling myself.. guess what the guys always go with the girls who have the sales pitch and these girls are mostly minging. . Big fat ugly ones... so it's defo about a sales pitch and Im going to watch these videos and take note!
I make and sell a magnetic bookmark online and at local art & craft shows. Our very first show, we had a lot of people walk right past us that morning, not even a glance. Someone said, 'oh, it's just a bookmark,' as they walked by. My partner jumped up and started showing people how it worked. The show was from 9A-5P and you couldn't leave early. We were almost sold out by noon. I was worried it wouldn't sell that morning and then I was worried I wouldn't have anything left to sell that afternoon! We joke that she trips people to get them in our booth but the reality is that it really is an awesome bookmark and once customers see how it works, we have another sale. My slogan/blurb/whatever is a riff of BNSF, 'We didn't invent the bookmark, we made it better.' I know, but when I heard it on the radio, it just clicked. And it works.
The glamour shot photo. The cover photo. A bit overdone, lol. but gave it a watch anyways and liked the content. The "I'm Derek Halpern" comment almost reaffirmed my pre determined notions.
you know I am a new internet marketer and I know nothing about blogging but that is how I found you (through an ad you did promoting a blogging system) and now I have more confidence and understand messaging better than did before watching your videos. I am thankful for the kind of value you provide as it is the same type of value I want to provide to my people as well. thank you again.
Idk, there's got to be some connection between people thinking their stuff is more awesome than they think and people blindly following something. People buy things blindly. Sports fans are called fans - "fanatics" shortened. People blindly follow sports teams, vloggers, bloggers, celebrities. They want to be like them. Psychologically their must be a connection, right?
Nice pitch. I build and MFG fishing lures and unigue bird houses to Ace Hardwares. My opinions are simple. I just find the buyer of the next store. I say that I set up Ace Hardwares with these houses or lures. I show them pictures and I show them three houses and lures live to them to touch and evaluate. I only say this. Would you know if these would be of interest to you? Thats it. I have 100% sakes. I have more than I need. Good pitch you gave. Ronnie
So I'm currently canvasing for a custom window and siding manufacturer. most times I either end up on very rich, or very poor people's doorsteps. and on either side of the spectrum, I always get people slamming doors in my face, or running me off their porch insisting that they aren't interested, or don't need what my company has to offer. my question is, what trick, setup, or pitch will make my job easier? keep in mind, all I do is collect names and numbers from people, and to make my quote I only need seven contacts. but even then, getting numbers is like David fighting Goliath without a sling.
Winner of a video, I have been researching "how do you find the wholesale price of a product?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Lanreenan Foremost Leverage - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to find luxury or designer goods at wholesale or lower prices without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got great success with it.
Tbh I don't have a business or a specific product to sell like an prob most business do I'm dreading carefuly at the moment doing my research at how to rate my product what product and category I want to be in how can I profit the most in the shortest time possible not over night ordeal but enough minum time and effort to reach 100 1000 10,000 etc takeing it step by step so the product I want to sell one laptop but I don't have a laptop why ♾️ reasons why but what reason do I need step one buy a laptop what kind? And for how much? Research the top brand but for the lowest cost available to on eBay okay so how do you convince people to buy just that single product....... Your video that gave me inspiration : what product are you looking for in a laptop what you useing what are you willing bid more on? Questions like these pop in my head thank you for the inspiration in short 🙏
Merci😊😇 people there don't care the reall true people i have to sale new light because my health after covid 19 i can't walk and ofks the shop there don't take back and nothing happen no money i will leave in a box very soon is not a jok??????????
You got great qualities in you (in selling specially) . But why don't you 'actually' sell something instead of just advising others? You could make more money I guess!
Way dope! Thanks for exposing how people think and feel that their situation is unique as one reason why they don't think your product is right for them!!!
just get going,..meet more people,..stop talking !! do stuff, face rejections with smile , sales isnt the job for every body sometime people say yes and sometimes no, its number game people ! not super smart thinking-talking
So here’s a product I invented, go to TH-cam, type in just a shelf and watch my commercial how can I sell a plastic shop? Let me know no one on the market has this
my sister and her friend are having a bake sale outside and when cars come by they don't stop. why don't they stop? they made amazing food and they are so cute!
To an extent I agree with this message but not entirely. Here's why. People on social media just are not in "buying" mode. No matter how much content you put up, there's going to be very little sales. it's impossible to scale to a full time income putting up free content and value, since very few are gonna buy that way. What needs to be done is that you have to have a solid sales funnel in place. Send paid traffic to that funnel, make sure the product is good, and there will be conversions. Free traffic is too slow and takes too long to get results. You can be putting up TH-cam videos all the time, wasting your time on FB, Twitter, and Instagram, and NO ONE WILL BUY FROM YOU. Instead, pay for traffic and send it to a landing page and sales funnel, and let the funnel do the selling FOR YOU. Once you start applying these strategies you will wonder why you wasted so much time with free traffic to begin with.
Hi Derek, Great Video! Thanks. One issue I am struggling with is: Since I started my email list, I have never sold anything to my list. I have used the list to stay in touch with my readers. If I start now to do a hard selling once in a while, some on my list may unsubscribe because they are not used to it. Therefore I am thinking to tell my subscribers upfront - when they subscribe - that once in a while they will get some selling offers from me. What is your opinion on that?
Great ideas! I love your videos. I'm curious why you are often on the left of the screen in your video...I feel certain there must be a reason! Thanks!
Today I was talking to a friend about doing a behavioral assessment with him (I'm a behavioral profiler) and I basically had him sold, but I felt bad about charging him full price. So I think I screwed up the whole deal. I finally got the sale but cut off my own legs. How do you close a sale with a friend without feeling guilty about charging a friend full price?
hey derek- great video! I think a better title would be "Don't be pushy all the time. Be pushy some of the time" Try it out- see how it performs. YW :-D
Saweet vid! I was actually just having this discussion with my accountability partner 15 minutes before I got this email. Now that you put it in plain English... make a whole bunch of sense... My challenge is to show my list is that their situation is NOT unique...
Very well Derek, please I need a clue on how to get started. Also, I have a company that am working with as an affiliate but how can I market the products online? need help please
Well done, That was very accurate and super helpful. I have been running my business for 3 years now, its quite dynamic and causes me to stretch and grow in many areas. I have not made any money yet, just a whole lot of debt. My business is a one man show, I am still learning website editing, My marketing ability is very weak, my hands are so full in other areas. I will have to get good at selling or i will go bankrupt.
I need help marketing my cpa offer. Everything I tried and spent my hard earned money on still haven't boost my traffic to be massive and most importantly my online business. I'm at a point where I'ma just hire a marketing consultant to show me how its done while he or she is doing the work live infront of my face on the computer because I'm fustrated at this point man.
Thank you for that! I've been trying to sell a coaching programme, and although I thought I was hard-selling, I don't think it was aggressive enough. Saying that, it's hard to prove to people that it will work for them without testimonials from similar people - I suppose I should offer the programme for free to a handful, so that I get the testimonials - or would that be shooting myself in the foot? Hmm.
This is something im working with right now, with my own first product a science fictional thriller book called crying girl which is up on kickstarter. To be honest I'm not sure about how to promote a book or a kickstarter since this is my first. If this fails my next test will be to create a email list and a two month promotions for my next kickstarter. You would think, even if the book is not finished (needs editing) evoking emotions would be easy?
The unique needs of the person. It does not feel nearly as 'pushy' when you believe what you are selling. That is the other test of what people are listening for. Derek gets 'pushy' but his belief in his content makes him seem genuine. That is also what multiple touches allow your audience to check-your belief in yourself.

Love the video 😍
Summary:
Don’t convince people to buy your product, convince them to convince themselves to buy your product.
Youre trying to sound smart but you
Don’t make any fucking sense
This is a 50% discount if you want it (sweatcoin-ven50)
moffy u don’t make sense at all
How to do it can you tell that cause im starting so i need tips and best help possilble
You're a better coach than him.
You should google "The Drafting Technique" and check it out. You should also google "How to Become Famous" and click that too. It's the 4th result, and more about getting credibility there.
Like almost any other video... a lot of bullshit talk, ZERO concretes. That's why this video don't even have 100k views after almost 4(!) years. And yet you try to "teach" other's "how to sell"? That's a good joke...
If you don't believe in your products, how in the world you expect for people to even hear what you have to offer to them?
You got to BELIEVE it 1st!
I am one of those people who hate being pushy, so how do you know when it's the right time to be pushy?
Autumn Cieply that's actually the easy part... it really depends on what you're selling.. some products are obvious, such as tangible physical products.. in this case, once they show interest, you need to move them along the sales process.. within the sales process, after eliciting/validating their problems, present the best solution.. this is where you can be pushy..
for example, they want "A" solution, but you know should really push "B" solution although it's more expensive / most expensive, but you know it serves them better (assuming solution B suits their needs and better than solution A)..

thanks for the tips I just selling products from home and it's not going very well Yet! always stay positive!!!
Its the same with my situations

You are not alone...I thought it was just me. I always say my FB friends....SUCK!!!

You sell them based on the feelings they evoke.
Never answered the question in the title.

Fucking waste of time, even on x2
Please talk less and focus on something meaningful
Thanks Derek! The problem is that when I tried to help a Personal Trainer out for free, he tells me he is going to do everything himself. What do I do? I'm probably not selling myself hard enough or he's afraid I'll charge him.
Helpful 👍🏽”don’t be afraid to be pushy at the right time”!
Thanks man working on my sales. And you have great points
Thank you for sharing your insight into this important topic!

Thank God someone is singing my praises. I've been saying this for years. Ignore all those who say, "People don't like to be sold to." Bullshit.
I recently started working in a mobile company and have a hard time selling to some people. People have developed a bit of fear from making deals with us.

Starting a new business with my partner and these tips have really helped thanks!
Idk, there's got to be some connection between people thinking their stuff is more awesome than they think and people blindly following something. People buy things blindly.

Great stuff! Thank you Derek! Appreciate your content!
Thanks for this video!
Lots of hints for the marketers out there.
Nice pitch. I build and MFG fishing lures and unigue bird houses to Ace Hardwares. My opinions are simple. I just find the buyer of the next store. I say that I set up Ace Hardwares with these houses or lures. I show them pictures and I show them three houses and lures live to them to touch and evaluate. I only say this. Would you know if these would be of interest to you? Thats it. I have 100% sakes. I have more than I need. Good pitch you gave. Ronnie

You got great qualities in you (in selling specially) . But why don't you 'actually' sell something instead of just advising others? You could make more money I guess!
Saw the video.. didn´t hear the answer to: ¿What is the reason people don´t buy?
Way dope! Thanks for exposing how people think and feel that their situation is unique as one reason why they don't think your product is right for them!!!
just get going,..meet more people,..stop talking !! do stuff, face rejections with smile , sales isnt the job for every body sometime people say yes and sometimes no, its number game people ! not super smart thinking-talking
So here’s a product I invented, go to TH-cam, type in just a shelf and watch my commercial how can I sell a plastic shop? Let me know no one on the market has this
still reading these?
do you think a poor product with a 8/10 salesman can sell as well as a great product with a 2/10 salesman?
As always, thanks for the good advice. To answer your question, I would need to build an audience first!
Nice
Either this guy is good or he is one hell of a salesman
Good
Great info for any business owner.
Great stuff - really insightful :)
Haha ya true, people would value their hard work as high 💎
Finally someone who talks fast enough! Great content
It's hard to sell on a first time, but I try to figure out on Poker Approach.
my sister and her friend are having a bake sale outside and when cars come by they don't stop. why don't they stop? they made amazing food and they are so cute!
To an extent I agree with this message but not entirely. Here's why. People on social media just are not in "buying" mode. No matter how much content you put up, there's going to be very little sales. it's impossible to scale to a full time income putting up free content and value, since very few are gonna buy that way. What needs to be done is that you have to have a solid sales funnel in place. Send paid traffic to that funnel, make sure the product is good, and there will be conversions. Free traffic is too slow and takes too long to get results. You can be putting up TH-cam videos all the time, wasting your time on FB, Twitter, and Instagram, and NO ONE WILL BUY FROM YOU. Instead, pay for traffic and send it to a landing page and sales funnel, and let the funnel do the selling FOR YOU. Once you start applying these strategies you will wonder why you wasted so much time with free traffic to begin with.
Hi Derek,
Great Video! Thanks.
One issue I am struggling with is:
Since I started my email list, I have never sold anything to my list. I have used the list to stay in touch with my readers.
If I start now to do a hard selling once in a while, some on my list may unsubscribe because they are not used to it. Therefore I am thinking to tell my subscribers upfront - when they subscribe - that once in a while they will get some selling offers from me. What is your opinion on that?
Thank you, it was very good! from my experience it is very true!
check out next level ninjas. They offer great help selling online
hahhahahahahahaahah one email! Your expression made my day hahaha
:-)
Love the poker reference bro!
What's your game, Texas or Omaha?
I used to play Texas.
Great ideas! I love your videos. I'm curious why you are often on the left of the screen in your video...I feel certain there must be a reason! Thanks!
+Natalie Tanner I think it's because he sometimes has text appear on the right ;)
That makes sense!! I should have thought of that myself! :)
Thanks for sharing. Nice shirt
Today I was talking to a friend about doing a behavioral assessment with him (I'm a behavioral profiler) and I basically had him sold, but I felt bad about charging him full price. So I think I screwed up the whole deal. I finally got the sale but cut off my own legs. How do you close a sale with a friend without feeling guilty about charging a friend full price?
Thanks Mark, I recently closed another deal and did a lot better on closing.
hey derek- great video! I think a better title would be "Don't be pushy all the time. Be pushy some of the time" Try it out- see how it performs. YW :-D
One of the best videos that i have learned something or two from
How can I start my online selling account and basics needed
Saweet vid! I was actually just having this discussion with my accountability partner 15 minutes before I got this email. Now that you put it in plain English... make a whole bunch of sense... My challenge is to show my list is that their situation is NOT unique...
I'm about to make an animated gif of your face palm. It's all kind of awesome.
Tell me more about that. What made you change your mind? :-)
I never claimed that my stuff is awesome. I just want sell my stuff so I can survive in this monetary based pseudo-economy.
My product sells itself because no one has it
Very well Derek, please I need a clue on how to get started. Also, I have a company that am working with as an affiliate but how can I market the products online? need help please
Well done, That was very accurate and super helpful. I have been running my business for 3 years now, its quite dynamic and causes me to stretch and grow in many areas. I have not made any money yet, just a whole lot of debt. My business is a one man show, I am still learning website editing, My marketing ability is very weak, my hands are so full in other areas. I will have to get good at selling or i will go bankrupt.
get them to sell it for you
I will be glad if you help me go about this.
I need help marketing my cpa offer. Everything I tried and spent my hard earned money on still haven't boost my traffic to be massive and most importantly my online business. I'm at a point where I'ma just hire a marketing consultant to show me how its done while he or she is doing the work live infront of my face on the computer because I'm fustrated at this point man.
Thank you for that! I've been trying to sell a coaching programme, and although I thought I was hard-selling, I don't think it was aggressive enough. Saying that, it's hard to prove to people that it will work for them without testimonials from similar people - I suppose I should offer the programme for free to a handful, so that I get the testimonials - or would that be shooting myself in the foot? Hmm.
This is something im working with right now, with my own first product a science fictional thriller book called crying girl which is up on kickstarter. To be honest I'm not sure about how to promote a book or a kickstarter since this is my first. If this fails my next test will be to create a email list and a two month promotions for my next kickstarter.
You would think, even if the book is not finished (needs editing) evoking emotions would be easy?
it seems overwelming trying to sell online
You are so funny thanks for the video
Another good video, well done. :)
Hey Chef Kendra. You left this comment here like 4 years ago. I randomly stumbled on it now. Curious to know... hows everything going nowadays?
The unique needs of the person.
It does not feel nearly as 'pushy' when you believe what you are selling. That is the other test of what people are listening for. Derek gets 'pushy' but his belief in his content makes him seem genuine. That is also what multiple touches allow your audience to check-your belief in yourself.
