skill to clients around the world.

4. Star of the Week
*************************************************************

Our Star of the Week is Dr. Will Fishkin. Dr. Fishkin joined the
Gold Protege Program in September 2010. One of his goals in
joining the program was to develop more Joint Venture
relationships.

Will created an information product called the 6 Success Steps
Secrets program and was looking for new ways to offer his program
to help people grow their business through referrals.

Dr. Fishkin has benefited from learning Eric's Person of Influence
(POI) Strategy and is using this technique to create massive leverage
in his business.

One recent success Dr. Fishkin has experienced since being in the
program came during a dinner with another Chiropractor who has a
huge Chiropractic Marketing and Consulting Business. They agreed
to partner together to produce a version 2.0 of his information
product to reach a specific niche market. This will provide a whole
new audience for the program and will produce thousands of dollars
in additional revenue.

Dr. William Fishkin runs the San Francisco Chapter of the Glazer Kennedy
Insider's Circle. For more than 19 years Dr. Fishkin has built a Family
Chiropractic Center in the Mission District of San Francisco.

Dr. Fishkin has a free report on "4 Mindset Shifts to Unleash the
Referral Potential in Your Business".

The Hidden Selling-Power of Sales Stories, Part 1: Discover Why Sales Pros Use Stories

story1It’s no secret that Sales Champions use sales stories.  Let’s take a closer look.  Why?

Stories Quickly Build Trust and Rapport with Prospects:
A story is the easiest and fastest way to develop trust with a prospect.  When you are telling a relevant and interesting sales story, the prospects treat you more like a friend than a salesperson.  Friends listen actively to each other and their stories.

Sales Stories Act as Invisible Selling:
When you use the script: “Let me share with you a story…,” the prospect lowers resistance and thinks: “Oh, the salesperson is just telling me a story” and they let their guard down.  Your selling stories will powerfully deliver your main selling points and motivate the prospect to take action and buy today.

Sales Stories Move People Emotionally:
Many of us realize that prospects buy with emotion and justify their buying-decision with logic.  A story takes an abstract product or service and makes it real in a way that emotionally connects with the prospect.

Think about the heart-rending stories used in a life insurance sale to help the prospect connect—emotionally—to the reasons why life insurance is so important.  You can effectively utilize the emotional power of stories in promoting your business or industry.

Sales Stories Suspend Time:
An engaging and dynamic selling story holds and grabs the prospect’s attention, since the prospect is focused on the story and is not primarily focused on the time.

Sales Stories can be Humorous:
Stories that are appropriate and humorous can improve the effectiveness of your sales presentation, so don’t be nervous about including a relevant, humorous one to your prospect.  Script your story—word-for-word—and remember: Funny equals Money!
