Decision makers respond to messages that align to a perceived need and/or that communicate unknown insights about how to address this gap
Becoming a Trust Advisor learning objectives
- Understand the number one barrier to becoming a Trusted Advisor - receptivity
- Learn how to establish receptivity with any Agent
- Identify the characteristics of a Trusted Advisor
Cornerstone Principle
When people are emotionally closed, you cannot persuade them with logic. In fact, when attempting to persuade emotionally closed people, they become even more closed
Default principle
Because we default to self, our natural approach to selling diminishes receptivity and the ability to create the most effective recommendation
Creating receptivity starts with developing the right mindset. That begins by answering two critical P focused questions:
- Does the agent believe they are the Priority?
- Does the agent feel pressure?
Tug of war principle
People resist any pressure to think or act differently if they feel like their freedom to choose is not respected
