Hey,
0:00
Grant Cardone here, host of The Cardone Zone. I'm gonna
0:02
be talking about your money, your finances, your career,
0:04
and this economy. Thank you for listening.
0:08
It's a wake-up call for the middle class.
0:10
Ouch! Ouch! Make
0:13
success your duty. Whatever
0:16
it takes. It ain't your daddy's
0:18
economy. True freedom in business,
0:20
career, and finance.
0:22
The Cardone Zone
0:24
starts now. My name's Grant
0:27
Cardone, and I've spent over 25 years studying
0:30
everything that I could get my hands
0:32
on regarding selling, sales, negotiations,
0:35
with the desire to create processes
0:38
and training programs that actually could
0:40
improve results in this area. I've
0:42
spent years collecting research on
0:45
both the changing marketplace and the changing
0:47
customer.
0:48
And out of that research, I developed and validated
0:51
training programs that will improve the
0:54
individual, your results, and
0:56
the overall company's sales results. I've
0:58
traveled across the world working with salespeople,
1:01
managers, entrepreneurs, fundraisers,
1:04
and global industries putting in place processes
1:06
and practices that would ensure that a company
1:08
and an individual doesn't just survive
1:11
and get by, but will prosper regardless
1:14
of the economic environment.
1:16
For this reason, I have become known
1:18
internationally for bringing new ideas and techniques
1:20
to the art of selling and closing the deal. I've
1:23
spoken to audiences in every major city
1:25
in the United States, in Canada. I've been
1:27
to Brazil, the Caribbean and spoken,
1:30
Austria, Australia. My methodologies
1:32
have been employed as far away as Ireland, Russia,
1:35
London. Many suggest that
1:37
the information I'm providing today on this
1:39
subject of selling and negotiating and closing
1:41
is the first new information provided
1:44
in this area in over 50 years. I've
1:46
been compared to many of the other speakers and
1:49
coaches and sales experts.
1:52
Audience travel all over the world, pay up to $1,000 a
1:54
ticket to spend a day at
1:57
our live seminars. You know, I splashed into the sales
1:59
improvement.
1:59
arena like a meteor, many people say,
2:02
when I single-handedly revolutionized
2:05
the typically
2:06
or what's considered to be the obstinate,
2:09
very difficult to change automobile industry.
2:12
In the late 1980s, I accurately predicted
2:14
how that industry would be forced to change due
2:16
to increased competition, changing buyer
2:19
demands and expectations, the manufacturer's
2:21
need for improved customer satisfaction,
2:24
and shrinking profit margins, as well
2:26
as the outrageously disappointed sales
2:29
production from individuals and very
2:32
high employee turnover.
2:33
I proceeded to successfully introduce
2:36
new technologies now trademarked as
2:38
information assisted selling and other
2:40
alternative ways to handle transactions in
2:43
a manner that was customer-friendly
2:45
and more effective.
2:47
These concepts were at first resisted
2:50
and later adopted by almost every automobile
2:53
manufacturer, a majority of the 22,000 automobile
2:56
dealers and later, much
2:58
later actually, the entire automobile industry.
3:01
One of my companies, the Cardone Group, has been touted
3:03
as the number one training company in the world
3:05
by a leading magazine of the industry. This
3:08
company's focus is on working hands-on
3:11
with businesses,
3:12
primarily automobile dealers, to increase the
3:14
production of that group. Now, the belief is
3:16
if we could increase the production, the efficiency
3:19
and the customer satisfaction of
3:21
the car dealer, which is an extremely
3:24
competitive environment, we could do it in any industry
3:26
and now we have. This is achieved
3:28
through a number of very specific and measurable processes
3:31
that remain in place in that business
3:34
so as to ensure longevity of
3:36
the ideas implemented. You're going to
3:38
find this thinking very forward. You
3:40
may even ridicule it and resist it, but
3:42
I assure you it works. As
3:44
many people, masses of people have now
3:46
adapted to this way of doing business in the 21st century.
3:50
I humbly say that I have changed the results
3:52
of thousands of salespeople that were willing
3:55
enough to come and be changed. We've
3:57
moved people's incomes to phenomenal levels.
3:59
increasing their understanding to greater
4:02
heights so that they could truly control
4:04
and conquer the art of selling, the
4:06
art of negotiating, and the master
4:09
art of closing the deal.
4:11
I recently wrote a book called Sell
4:14
to Survive. It's been featured on Forbes,
4:16
Reuters, MSNBC, 40 other
4:18
online publications. Many
4:20
people have compared this book
4:22
to the, if you read, the Think and Grow
4:25
Rich of the 21st Century, like
4:27
this new kind of way of thinking about a certain
4:29
area.
4:30
Others have said that the information in Sell
4:32
to Survive is the best information
4:34
written on selling in 50 years.
4:36
I'll leave that up to you. Get that book. It's
4:39
called Sell to Survive. It is absolutely
4:41
awesome about the importance of
4:43
selling to anyone, not just career
4:45
sales people, but all people depend
4:47
on selling. There's 6.8 billion
4:49
people on this planet, and we're all salespeople.
4:52
I have personally researched selling most of my
4:54
life, collecting thousands and thousands
4:57
of hours of recordings of actual
5:00
customer interactions and
5:02
surveying many more in order to determine
5:04
what is it buyers want today,
5:06
what are their expectations, and
5:08
what they don't want so that I
5:11
could develop practices to handle
5:13
these customers more efficiently and more effectively
5:16
where they're happy and where we're happy,
5:18
where you're selling your product at
5:20
a price that you
5:22
can survive and prosper on. Some
5:24
of the products that I've sold over my career has
5:27
been insurance, automobiles,
5:29
clothes, jewelry, food products,
5:31
training materials, seminar tickets, coaching
5:33
fees, consulting contracts. I've
5:36
sold homes, commercial real estate from shopping
5:38
centers to apartment buildings, and
5:40
I've done a tremendous amount of fundraising
5:42
for charitable events.
5:44
I've consulted and positively influenced
5:47
the lives and careers of
5:49
entrepreneurs, bankers, realtors, mortgage
5:52
brokers, financial planners, actors, producers,
5:54
fundraisers, CEOs, coaches, lawyers,
5:56
chiropractors, doctors, and the
5:58
list goes on.
5:59
and I know for sure I can help you.
6:02
In addition to my onstage
6:05
speaking engagements,
6:07
I have proven myself in the
6:09
real world of negotiating.
6:11
Now, this is very, very important for you as
6:13
a listener because you want to know the guy giving
6:16
you information is just not
6:18
speaking on stage or from some
6:20
perfect little scenario, but also
6:23
negotiating in the real world. In the last 30
6:25
years, I've been involved with deals as small
6:28
as $10, believe it or not,
6:29
to deals involving hundreds of thousands
6:32
to large transactions that
6:34
take a long time and are a long cycle
6:37
in excess of $100 million.
6:40
My experience and range of transactions involves
6:43
everything from daily retail transactions,
6:46
you know, like an iPod, where it's highly
6:48
competitive in a short sales cycle, to working
6:50
with relationship intensive exchanges
6:53
that were a very long sales cycle
6:56
regardless of how much money was involved. I've
6:59
worked with short term contracts and long term contracts.
7:02
I've worked with and had personal experience with products
7:04
across the board, including consumables, all
7:06
consumables, gym memberships, banking
7:09
memberships, cross-selling, clothing,
7:12
automobiles, country club memberships, home
7:14
furnishing, home purchases, buying and
7:16
selling real estate, multi-level marketing
7:18
products, investments, and again
7:21
charitable donations. In addition to my speaking
7:23
business and my consulting companies, I
7:25
created a real estate company. A
7:27
real estate company was created much out of what you're
7:29
going to hear in this book because the ability
7:31
to negotiate
7:32
and to close
7:34
and to get agreement from others is critical
7:36
in real estate. These transactions
7:38
have included single family homes at $80,000
7:40
to purchase a multi-family apartment
7:44
building in excess of $50 million at a
7:46
WAC. So let's get to it. This
7:48
is called the Closers Almanac. And
7:51
my goal for you is to learn this book in every
7:53
way
7:54
possible through reading,
7:57
listening to the book, drilling,
7:59
rehearsing. and role-playing the
8:02
specific closes. Now before I get
8:04
into the specific closes, I want
8:06
to talk about the whole area
8:09
of working a deal. If
8:11
you ever feel like the buyer's toying with you,
8:13
know this, they are. And
8:16
they are because you don't have the respect
8:18
of your prospect. They will quit
8:20
toying with you when you know, KNOW, how
8:24
to handle them with confidence and logic.
8:27
When this happens, you will be able to control and
8:29
predict your income. You will be loved
8:31
and respected by those you do business
8:33
with. You will be loved and respected within
8:35
your company or organization and even
8:38
loved and respected by your industry.
8:41
As others will hear about you because
8:43
of the results you will attain. You
8:46
will become a different person as a result of studying
8:48
this material and you will grow a new
8:50
confidence in your future, your life, and your
8:52
ability to take care of yourself, your family, and
8:54
to make your dreams come true.
8:56
Closing the deal is the transfer point
8:59
where you quit selling and get the
9:01
buyer to exchange something they have
9:03
for something you have. The
9:05
close, unlike selling, is that specific
9:08
moment where the individual is seeking to acquire
9:11
an agreement and all parties
9:13
actually take an action or actions
9:16
and things of value are actually exchanged.
9:19
If there is no exchange, then there is no closure.
9:22
And if there is no close or agreement, then
9:24
there is no real value exchanged.
9:27
This single step is where the salesperson,
9:29
the consultant, the account executive, the
9:31
negotiator, the mediator, the middleman, the broker,
9:34
whatever you call yourself, finally and
9:36
for the first time becomes of real value
9:39
and benefit to the prospect or buyer.
9:42
You know that may seem harsh to you but until an
9:44
exchange takes place, you
9:46
may have been of service but because you have
9:48
not closed, because you have not caused
9:50
an exchange,
9:52
you have not really created value.
9:55
Until the close, agreement and exchange
9:57
takes place, there is no real
9:59
value. in what preceded it. No
10:02
exchange equals no real
10:04
value. No close equals
10:07
no exchange equals no
10:09
real value. This point
10:12
can be compared to working out. Until
10:14
you start actually getting into shape and
10:16
receiving the benefits of working out, the
10:18
actual working out is just something you
10:21
had to do in order to get where
10:23
you wanted to be the
10:24
exchange. See if you stop
10:26
working out before you ever get results, was
10:29
there really any value? Certainly
10:31
you can find some value in the first workouts,
10:34
but that's not why you went in there and worked
10:36
out. See until you start actually losing
10:38
weight or improving muscle tone, no
10:41
real value has been attained. Therefore
10:43
you never received any exchange for your
10:45
workouts. You quit before you got
10:47
the exchange. You quit before the close
10:50
basically and this is what most people
10:52
do that is the cause of their demise.
10:55
They quit before they get an agreement
10:57
to exchange.
10:58
This single misunderstanding is the cause
11:01
of individual, entire companies
11:03
and the dreamers undoing. It
11:05
explained why targets are not achieved, goals
11:08
are not attained
11:09
and dreams not fulfilled.
11:11
Let's face it, no dream has value
11:14
until it becomes a reality. It was
11:16
just a dream. It was an idea, it was a concept.
11:18
Until you can close others and
11:21
it becomes reality, it doesn't
11:23
benefit anyone. See for all
11:25
people and especially sales people, this exchange
11:27
point is a new way to think about the close.
11:30
If you accept this point completely and without
11:32
challenge, I promise you it will prove
11:35
critical to your future and will result
11:37
in your closing more deals and having
11:40
the life you desire. Do not underestimate
11:43
this point I'm making here.
11:44
Real value is demonstrated only
11:46
when there is an actual physical exchange
11:49
between two parties. They
11:51
give you something, you give them something.
11:53
So I'm gonna say this again, do not
11:55
underestimate this point I am making.
11:58
Real value is demonstrated
11:59
only when there
12:02
is an actual physical exchange
12:04
between two parties. They give
12:06
you something,
12:07
you give them something. Certainly there
12:09
was benefit in showing your product,
12:11
presenting your product, being enthusiastic.
12:14
Of course there are points gained by being friendly
12:16
and making others feel good. The customer
12:19
appreciates you for the information exchange,
12:22
but there must be an agreement
12:24
to transfer and actions taken
12:27
between both parties for
12:29
any real value to occur.
12:32
This is very, very important
12:34
point for salespeople and management
12:36
and for anyone who negotiates, anyone
12:39
who has a dream and anyone who
12:41
is not getting the desired results.
12:44
It is my experience that most people are confused
12:47
and have the belief that if they know the product, product
12:50
knowledge, if they act enthusiastic
12:52
and are nice to the customer, then
12:55
all will be good. While these
12:57
things are important, your prospect will
12:59
rarely, you know, very seldom
13:01
will that prospect ever pay for any of
13:03
these things.
13:05
That is why the close, not the sale itself,
13:07
not the promotion, not the persuasion,
13:10
is that place where you and
13:12
your company for the first time get
13:14
rewarded. Basically everything that
13:16
preceded this thing called the close, while necessary
13:19
and vital,
13:20
is not involved with an actual exchange.
13:23
Therefore, no reward is earned until
13:25
this critical survival exchange point
13:28
takes place. I call this
13:30
critical survival exchange point because
13:33
unless you know how to close, you
13:35
will not survive in this world.
13:38
Don't get me wrong here, while all the steps
13:40
that preceded the close are vital
13:43
and necessary, the most valuable
13:45
step is when you get an agreement to
13:47
exchange between two parties or
13:49
more.
13:50
They get what you have to offer in return
13:52
for something that you want from them. That's
13:54
that exchange point. See, take the presentation,
13:57
for example. You're presenting your product or idea
13:59
or concept.
13:59
or proposal. Can
14:02
the prospect take that presentation or proposal?
14:05
Can they take that forward in their life and benefit
14:07
them and solve problems with it?
14:09
No, probably not. See
14:12
that prospect can't do anything with
14:14
it as there has been no real exchange.
14:17
He hasn't given you anything. He doesn't have
14:19
anything to really own and have ownership
14:21
of. Close him on using what
14:24
it is you represent,
14:25
using the product or the idea or
14:27
the concept. And then there is value.
14:30
Did he learn something from your presentation? Did
14:33
he benefit from the time you spent with
14:35
him? Hopefully. But again,
14:37
he cannot use it in his life and
14:39
if he or she cannot use it and you
14:41
didn't close them because if they don't
14:43
take it with them you didn't close them, right?
14:46
See that person would have been better off staying
14:48
at home and reading about the product.
14:50
Was he impressed with your presentation or with
14:52
your personality or how you dressed? Hey,
14:54
you better impress him. But again,
14:57
there is no real value. Exchange.
15:00
Impressing people if you don't close
15:02
that person on your product, your idea, your
15:04
dream or your service.
15:06
Finally, when he does close and agrees
15:08
to give you something in exchange for your product,
15:10
your service or your idea, then
15:13
and only then
15:15
is value exchanged.
15:17
The goal of your presentation
15:19
is to create a desire and an urgency for
15:21
your product so the customer will want to exchange
15:23
with you
15:24
something that is of value to you. The endgame
15:27
then is the close. The ultimate
15:29
goal is that your prospect takes ownership
15:31
of your product, uses your service or
15:34
funds some activity and in turn
15:36
this makes him feel good, solve some problem,
15:38
makes him money or whatever your
15:41
proposition does for him. What
15:43
is the benefit to them? In
15:45
exchange, you get something you want,
15:47
need and value. For most
15:49
of us, the thing received is money. With
15:52
what you received, you can now go out
15:54
and be closed on other products, ideas
15:56
and dreams that solve your problems, expand
15:58
your company.
15:59
get support, make you
16:02
feel good, and maybe even
16:04
make you more money. Thus, the creation
16:06
of an entire economy. Until there's
16:08
a close, there's no exchange.
16:10
And until there's an exchange, there
16:12
is no economy. That's why this chapter,
16:15
the creation of an economy, see, until
16:17
there's a close, there's no exchange. And until there's
16:19
an exchange, there is no real economy.
16:22
Economies require exchange, lots
16:25
of exchanges. The more exchanges and
16:27
the more valued the exchanges, the bigger the economy.
16:29
It is said that money makes the world go around,
16:32
but it would be better stated
16:33
that the close makes it possible
16:36
for the money to go around the world.
16:39
See, without the close, the exchange,
16:42
nothing would ever actually happen.
16:44
You either create your economic future
16:46
by closing others or others will
16:48
create their economic future by
16:50
closing you. You see, once someone is actually
16:53
closed and agrees to owning your product, your
16:55
service, or getting behind your dream, at that
16:57
moment, he is carrying something forward
16:59
with him
17:00
that he didn't previously have.
17:02
Hopefully, what he received is actually
17:04
worth more than whatever he gave
17:07
up in order to have whatever
17:09
it is he received so that you
17:11
can continue to repeat this over and over.
17:14
This is what I call the winner's exchange.
17:17
When there is a winner's exchange, they
17:19
not only felt like it was a good exchange,
17:22
but they would do it again because the value he received
17:25
was better or greater than the
17:27
value given.
17:29
They will go out and tell the world about
17:31
this deal they made.
17:33
At this point, the individual feels good
17:35
about what they gave up as
17:38
they feel it was the more value to have
17:41
that product, whatever it is you were presenting,
17:43
than what they had to give up
17:46
in order to get it. Then
17:48
they will tell others. The fact
17:50
that you did a great presentation, that you were professional,
17:53
you were enthusiastic, that you made him feel
17:55
good,
17:56
hey, it will benefit you down the road,
17:58
but it won't benefit you until you ask.
17:59
actually get to close. Regardless of
18:02
your position in life, you will have to
18:04
learn the art of closing a deal. Your
18:06
job is a closer and we're all closers.
18:08
Everyone is a closer.
18:10
Even children are closers. They just, they're
18:12
not, they have no shame about it. See,
18:15
your job as a closer can be reduced
18:17
to this one point,
18:18
getting the prospect to take action
18:21
and give you something you value and
18:24
exchange for something your prospect
18:26
values.
18:28
Hopefully, both parties will value
18:30
what they received more than what they gave up in
18:32
order to consummate the exchange.
18:35
Closing is the only thing that
18:37
assures your buyer, your prospect,
18:40
actually gets your product, your idea, your
18:42
dream and that you get whatever it is that
18:44
you value for you and your
18:46
company.
18:48
To the degree that each party walks away feeling like
18:50
he did well in the exchange, we'll
18:52
determine how many more times you're
18:54
able to repeat this activity with others. Thus,
18:57
the winner's exchange. Now, this
18:59
is critical. To the degree that
19:01
you actually know
19:03
big K-N-O-W, capitalized
19:06
K-N-O-W,
19:08
to the degree that you actually know what you did
19:10
that caused the situation too close
19:13
and are able to repeat those actions again
19:15
and again is the degree
19:18
to which you will prosper. Knowledge
19:20
comes from the word no, K-N-O-W,
19:23
meaning you know what happened, how it
19:25
happened and what caused it to happen.
19:28
You know you have knowledge about what
19:30
happened, how it happened and what caused it to
19:32
happen. See, anyone can trip over
19:34
a close and then not be able to repeat it and
19:37
thus not be able to prosper over time. As
19:39
the song goes, even a blind squirrel can
19:42
find a nut.
19:43
I think that was a song or a poem. See,
19:45
in this game of closing the deal, you do not want
19:47
to depend on luck or chance as in life.
19:50
You don't want to depend on luck or chance as
19:52
you will find your career to be like a
19:54
bitter winner with few nuts to eat. You
19:57
want to have your eyes wide open when it comes
19:59
to this very rare moment.
19:59
rewarding step of your presentation. You want to
20:02
know KNOW how
20:04
to close. You want to know KNOW
20:07
exactly what caused the close and
20:09
you want to know KNOW how to create
20:12
urgency, how to remove time from the
20:14
decision. You want to know how to handle
20:16
any and all objections installed.
20:19
The word know from the dictionary
20:21
means to be aware of through observation,
20:24
inquiry, or information. Two,
20:26
be absolutely certain or sure about something.
20:29
That's what the word know means KNOW
20:31
to be absolutely certain or sure about something.
20:34
Knowledge, definition, one,
20:36
facts, information, and skills acquired by a person
20:38
through experience or education, the theoretical
20:41
or practical understanding of a subject.
20:43
Two, awareness or familiarity
20:46
gained by experience of a fact or
20:48
a situation. KNOW
20:51
assume the K is for knowledge and then assume
20:53
the W is for wisdom. If
20:55
you remove the K and the W you
20:57
end up with no, N-O.
21:00
And the reason so many people get so many
21:02
no's in life is because they
21:04
lack know.
21:06
They lack knowledge and wisdom.
21:08
N-O, know the
21:11
ultimate devastating you know
21:13
depressing N-O comes from
21:15
missing knowledge and wisdom.
21:18
It is said that if you think knowledge is
21:20
expensive
21:21
compared to not having knowledge,
21:23
there are two basic ways to learn and it
21:25
is your choice as to which route you will
21:28
take in anything that you want to
21:30
learn in life and particularly this book.
21:32
There are two routes. One, you will create
21:34
an experience and then learn from
21:37
the process of creating and practicing
21:40
through that experience. That means you set
21:42
up an experience
21:44
and you learn from that experience.
21:47
The second way to learn is experience
21:49
something and learn as a result
21:51
of that experience. Unfortunately
21:54
most people pick number two. They experience
21:56
something. They go through their whole life 80
21:59
years of the K. experiencing things happening
22:01
to them. At the end of their lifetime, they
22:03
become wise men or women out
22:06
of all these 80 years of experiences
22:08
and no time left to use this
22:11
newfound knowledge that took 80 years,
22:13
by the way. See, most people pick number
22:15
two and learn from the school of hard knocks, accumulating
22:18
losses along the way
22:20
and having very little time to correct anything.
22:23
The best choice is to create an experience
22:26
so that you can formally learn how
22:28
to win, Navy SEALs, athletes, actors,
22:30
all create an experience prior to the
22:33
event. They learn before the event
22:36
actually takes place. They create
22:38
an experience that puts them
22:40
in a position to better handle the
22:42
experiences of life. Business
22:44
people, entrepreneurs and sales people are
22:47
notorious
22:48
for learning from the experience,
22:51
after the fact.
22:53
So there's two choices. You're gonna either create a
22:55
scenario where you can start learning or
22:57
you're gonna live in scenarios
23:00
and learn after.
23:01
See, one guy spends his whole life learning
23:03
from his failures
23:04
and another guy practices so he can
23:06
create an experience and avoid
23:09
the so many failures.
23:11
It is said, even an idiot can
23:13
learn from the experiences of a lifetime, but
23:16
a wise man
23:17
learns so that he can create the
23:20
experience he desires. I
23:22
suggest you take the time to learn both from experience
23:25
by paying very close attention to what is
23:27
happening in the close and
23:29
also
23:30
take the time to prepare yourself intensely
23:33
prior to ever being in the close.
23:36
Things like taking notes and especially
23:39
through drilling, rehearsing and role-playing.
23:42
See, this point of actually knowing what caused
23:44
the close is a greatly missed
23:46
point by those involved in closing transactions.
23:49
Most veteran professionals miss the
23:51
point of really knowing, K-N-O-W-I-N-G,
23:54
what it is they did
23:56
or what it is they do that creates success.
25:59
closing on someone else's proposal,
26:02
at which point you probably lose something. There
26:05
is no cost to a salesperson, for
26:08
that matter any person who wants to do big
26:10
things. There is no cost greater
26:12
than the cost
26:13
of the loss close. None.
26:18
But close the deal, get
26:20
the agreement, and have the parties exchange
26:22
things of value. And this is the point
26:25
where trumpets will blow, parades
26:27
fill the streets, and the heavens will
26:29
burn. I guess I got a little carried away there with
26:31
my rejoicing. But
26:33
that is what it feels like to complete an agreement.
26:35
And everyone listening this knows
26:38
when you close a deal, you get excited,
26:40
like, oh, wow, man, I closed something. It's almost like
26:42
something magical happened.
26:44
Everyone gets jacked. Everyone
26:47
feels invincible,
26:49
if just for a moment.
26:52
Knowing exactly what accomplished the close
26:55
is necessary, vitally necessary,
26:57
in order that you are able to repeat this action
27:00
and then be able to predict future
27:02
results.
27:04
This knowing is the single
27:06
most important thing to an individual and
27:08
an entire company.
27:10
It is that thing knowing that
27:12
will catapult you and your company
27:14
into a whole new stratosphere where
27:16
you're able to order the parades, order
27:18
the dancing girls, and the bands, because
27:21
you're able to predict
27:22
the close. See, whole companies
27:25
try to control their future with
27:27
budgets only because they don't
27:30
know what they're going to close.
27:32
If they knew they could close future business,
27:34
expand their business, they wouldn't be so budget
27:37
driven. When you can do that, you
27:39
are now in a position to make your dreams come
27:41
true. Your business will be prosperous.
27:45
Your individual finances will
27:47
be prosperous. And you start to
27:49
create entire economies, at
27:51
least for yourself.
27:53
See, the true pro-closer is
27:55
that individual that has taken the time to observe
27:58
what is happening. recording
28:00
his or her experiences.
28:03
They take the time to practice, drill,
28:05
and rehearse
28:07
before they ever even enter
28:09
the arena of closing a deal.
28:11
They now know, know, K-N-O-W,
28:14
how to close. They even
28:16
know where the whole situation will go
28:19
prior to being in it, the ability to predict
28:21
that I wrote about and sell to survive. This
28:24
individual practices what
28:26
they need to say in order to get to close. This
28:28
person knows why someone closes
28:31
and knows why they don't close. This
28:33
person will be prepared for every
28:36
possibility.
28:37
The true pro-closer
28:39
will have complete certainty about their feel,
28:41
their profession, be able to predict
28:43
their income, and they will absolutely
28:46
love their job.
28:47
With this certainty comes confidence, and
28:50
with this confidence comes more
28:52
closes, and more closes creates
28:54
momentum for more of everything.
28:57
The individual starts to glow and vibrate
29:01
at a frequency that others find compelling,
29:03
attractive, and irresistible, and they keep
29:05
saying yes to this person. Now, I know you
29:07
think that's overstated when I say that, but the reality
29:10
is I did this for myself as
29:12
a young, rookie, unaware,
29:15
no-knowledge, and no-wisdom salesperson
29:17
when I, for a short period of time, dedicated
29:20
myself to learning everything possible
29:22
about the close. My confidence increased.
29:25
My results got better. I
29:28
started to get momentum,
29:30
and momentum
29:31
breeds momentum, and success breeds
29:33
more success, and literally, I
29:35
started to glow and vibrate
29:37
at a frequency that others found compelling
29:40
and attractive and irresistible, and I
29:42
started getting lucky, and I started getting more
29:44
yeses, and people liked me, and that's
29:46
what I mean by the glow and the vibration. People
29:49
start saying yes to people that are winning.
29:52
See, the individual becomes more able and more
29:54
successful in making things happen due
29:56
to his knowing, K-N-O-W,
29:59
ING, he knows or she
30:02
knows the game and is able
30:04
to quickly adjust
30:06
when necessary and ultimately
30:08
correctly control the outcome.
30:10
He or she then becomes more valuable
30:13
to everyone around them,
30:15
peers, the executives,
30:18
the corporation, the industry
30:21
and the individual that you're making the proposal
30:23
to.
30:24
The prevailing lack of commitment to practice.
30:27
I'm talking about what's going on in the marketplace now. This
30:29
prevailing lack of commitment to practice,
30:31
to drill and rehearse, this skill
30:33
of closing as a learned skill is
30:36
the single biggest missing
30:38
ingredient
30:39
in getting people to a point where
30:41
they can have what they want in their life.
30:44
I'm going to say that again. The prevailing lack
30:46
of commitment
30:48
and dedication to practicing,
30:50
to drilling, preparation,
30:52
to rehearsing the skill of closing
30:55
as a learned skill is the single
30:58
biggest missing ingredient
31:00
in getting people in a position
31:02
that they can have what they want in life. Let's
31:05
face it. There's no shortage of dreamers
31:08
on this planet. There are only a shortage
31:10
of people doing whatever it takes to
31:12
make those dreams come true.
31:14
The lack of practicing produces a lack
31:16
of knowing
31:17
and a lack of knowing is replaced with hoping,
31:20
wishing, praying and
31:23
ultimately more disappointments. If
31:25
you find yourself doing any of this, hoping,
31:27
wishing, praying, begging,
31:30
pleading
31:31
or being disappointed is because you
31:33
don't know something.
31:34
In this critical area of getting others
31:36
to support you
31:38
and the close, that's what we're talking
31:40
about. In this critical area
31:42
of getting others to support you and close and
31:45
get behind you and close, a
31:47
lack of know will result in
31:49
a lifetime of knows. There's
31:52
a saying, knowledge always
31:54
desires an increase as
31:57
fire demands more fuel. always
32:01
demands more knowledge. The
32:03
winner craves knowledge.
32:06
The winner craves solutions
32:09
so that he or she can better control
32:11
the outcome of their life and
32:12
reduce the chance of
32:15
no and oh by
32:17
having more no,
32:19
K-N-O-W. It
32:21
is crucial that you develop the ability to bring your
32:23
prospect to a positive decision for
32:26
your offer and thereby terminate
32:28
their desire to look, to think, to
32:30
talk it over, to wonder about it, pray,
32:33
question, worry, stall, and object.
32:36
The degree to which you get an
32:38
exchange for something agreed upon
32:41
by itself determines your stability
32:43
and productivity as a dealmaker and
32:46
ultimately your value in the marketplace. I'm
32:48
gonna say that again. The degree to which you can
32:51
get an exchange for
32:54
some agreed upon valuable by
32:57
itself
32:58
determines your stability and productivity
33:01
as a dealmaker and ultimately your
33:04
value in the marketplace. You understand what I'm
33:06
saying here? To the degree that you
33:08
are able to actually get
33:10
an exchange for some agreed upon valuable,
33:13
this by itself determines
33:16
the stability of you, your household,
33:18
your finances. It determines the
33:20
productivity
33:21
of you as a dealmaker and ultimately
33:24
determines your value in the
33:26
marketplace. Those who can
33:28
close love life and
33:30
those who cannot close will dread
33:33
it.
33:34
Those who can sell their ideas and their dreams
33:36
and their products and close others will get whatever
33:38
they want in life because they're able to get people to
33:40
exchange with them regardless of what
33:42
they're representing. It wouldn't matter what you're
33:45
selling. You're selling music, advertising.
33:47
You're selling ideas, concepts, dreams.
33:50
It doesn't matter. You're selling food products or consumables,
33:53
refrigerators, or insurance. It doesn't matter
33:56
to the degree that you are able to sell and control
33:58
that process.
33:59
what you get in your own life. Those
34:02
who know how to get the close, know what to
34:04
say, know how to handle the objections,
34:07
know KNOW how to stay in the deal,
34:09
know enough different strategies to
34:11
withstand even the toughest of prospects
34:14
will close deals and will
34:16
be able to predict their incomes and
34:18
will be able to predict their future
34:20
successes. These people, these
34:22
people that are able to do this are the
34:25
most valuable people to the company,
34:27
to the industry and even entire
34:30
economies. These are the closers,
34:32
these are the people that make things
34:35
happen.
34:36
There's a rule about being able to predict
34:38
your income that goes like this.
34:40
If you cannot predict your income, there's
34:42
something you are short on knowing. Here's
34:45
the rule. If you cannot predict your income,
34:47
there's something you're short on knowing. Either
34:50
you, number one, don't know what you want
34:52
or number two, you know what you
34:54
want but you don't know how to get it or number
34:56
three, both.
34:58
Okay, so there's three things. You don't know what you
35:00
want. Number two, you know what you want but don't
35:03
know how to go get it or both.
35:06
Anytime I'm having trouble with
35:08
what I want, I look at what I don't
35:10
know and hopefully I clear it up.
35:13
The longer I take to clear it up, the longer I
35:15
suffer. Or I look at
35:17
number two, okay, I know what I want but
35:19
I don't know how to get it. Maybe that's it. Do I really
35:21
want it? Maybe I don't really want it. See,
35:24
most of the time in my case, I do really want
35:26
it. There's just something I don't know in
35:28
order to actually achieve it.
35:30
See, that's number two. I know what I want
35:33
but I don't know how to go get it.
35:35
Anytime I'm having trouble getting what I want,
35:38
I look at what I don't know and clear it
35:40
up. And the longer it takes me to
35:42
look at what I don't know, the longer I'm gonna suffer.
35:45
Or I look at, hey, do I really want this?
35:47
Do I really want this thing? Yeah, well, most of the
35:49
time in my case, I do really want it and
35:51
I believe in most of the time in your world, you
35:54
want what you're going after. There's just something
35:56
you don't know in order to achieve it.
35:58
So what do I do? What should you do?
36:01
Get busy learning everything you can about
36:03
whatever it is. You know what that means? That
36:06
means you don't listen to this program one time. Learn
36:08
everything there is. Trust me, you're
36:10
missing points right now. If you listen
36:13
to it a second time, a third time, a fourth time, you're gonna
36:15
hear things that I'm saying that are gonna
36:17
be more meaningful to you. Add knowledge
36:19
to desire,
36:20
like wood to a fire, and sooner
36:22
or later, you will achieve your dreams.
36:25
Most of the people I work with in my seminars, they
36:27
have the desire. There's no shortage of desire. But
36:30
man, they're short on correct knowledge. So
36:33
that's what we have to fix here.
36:35
After graduating from college, I took on a full-time
36:38
sales position.
36:39
When I think I had first heard the
36:41
term close the deal,
36:44
I knew nothing about selling, and certainly
36:46
nothing about closing a deal. They
36:48
just don't teach those things in school. I spent 17
36:50
years in school and never heard the word close
36:52
the deal, or the term close the deal. See,
36:55
up to this point, no one had suggested that there
36:57
were strategies, even in the sales
36:59
business that I was in, no one had suggested
37:01
there were strategies or actual processes
37:04
for getting a deal to close so that
37:06
I could actually get rewarded.
37:08
They just kept calling it selling.
37:10
It was pointed out to me that this thing called closing
37:13
the deal was an actual step to
37:15
be done in the sales process,
37:18
rather than something that just happened as
37:20
a result of selling. So I started
37:22
listening to the people around me, you know, the
37:24
professionals, because those guys
37:26
around me knew a lot more than I knew. I assumed that
37:28
because they'd been around for a while, they knew
37:31
what they were doing. A word of advice,
37:34
don't assume others necessarily
37:36
know how to sell, much less how
37:38
to close. Just because they were there
37:40
before you
37:42
doesn't mean they know much.
37:44
Most salespeople haven't developed
37:46
a true understanding about what it really takes to
37:49
close deals consistently, much
37:51
less how to exactly control the process
37:53
and the outcome. I see most salespeople, even
37:56
very, very seasoned salespeople, veterans,
37:59
know a lot about
37:59
sales.
37:59
offense to anyone listening, most
38:02
even seasoned salespeople haven't a clue
38:05
about this area.
38:06
It is not surprising, because most
38:08
have never invested the time and energy
38:10
and resources in even learning the
38:13
exact skills necessary to close.
38:16
I assume when I was new to selling
38:19
that everyone around me knew what they were doing. It'd
38:21
be like thinking, OK, the furniture was here before
38:24
I was, so it knows more than I do. I mean, that's
38:26
basically what I was doing. So
38:28
I started paying close attention to these pieces
38:30
of furniture around me, the people, and
38:33
particularly paid a lot of attention to those
38:35
with the most experience. While
38:37
this proved somewhat helpful, and as much
38:39
as I was impressed with some of what I saw,
38:42
I now know that watching them and learning
38:44
from them caused me to develop some very,
38:47
very bad habits, much like the furniture
38:49
in the room.
38:50
You see, most of them,
38:51
and now I'm being very kind, that
38:53
we're using the expensive school of gaining
38:56
knowledge. Remember we talked about that earlier? What's the
38:58
expensive school? I do something. I have an
39:00
experience, and I try to learn from it.
39:02
Wrong way to learn anything. The
39:04
expensive school of gaining knowledge is
39:07
where you learned after the fact as
39:09
a result of the experience. This is the
39:11
most popular, the most expensive,
39:14
and the least successful way to learn.
39:17
A Navy SEAL wouldn't do it, OK? An
39:19
Army Ranger wouldn't do it. An actor
39:21
and actress wouldn't do it. And a professional athlete
39:24
does not learn that way. They
39:26
prepare before
39:27
game time.
39:29
Learning from sheer experience is
39:31
very, very, very expensive.
39:33
It takes a long, incredibly
39:35
long time to accumulate any real
39:38
wisdom. And by the time you've developed
39:40
accumulated real wisdom, you'll probably
39:42
be out of time to use it.
39:44
My coworkers learned while
39:46
they were in a deal rather
39:49
than
39:50
learning before the deal. My
39:52
coworkers were learning while they
39:54
were in after they experienced
39:56
losses as a result. They then tried
39:58
to make the adjustments.
39:59
after the fact and
40:02
this just takes tremendous time
40:04
to ever actually accumulate any real
40:06
learning.
40:07
The other, the smarter way to go is to study,
40:09
observe and create experiences for yourself
40:12
so you would learn how to handle a situation before
40:15
it ever happened, beforehand.
40:18
See these people were learning after the fact
40:20
rather than prior to the facts. These
40:23
people were learning after the situation and
40:25
trying to adjust when it was too late rather
40:27
than before the situation actually happened,
40:31
then they would make slight adjustments over time, usually
40:33
over entire careers
40:34
with very poor results. This is what most
40:37
people do.
40:38
This results in extreme
40:40
transactional losses, not
40:42
to mention the emotional losses
40:45
that are accumulated day after
40:47
day after day.
40:49
I had spent 17 years up to this point
40:51
seeking knowledge in my life.
40:53
I'm talking about back when I was first selling.
40:55
Everything at that time, the more I
40:57
learned,
40:58
the more I could earn. These people
41:01
that I was surrounded by seemed to think
41:03
exactly the opposite. I asked them
41:05
if there were schools or books or something I could
41:07
listen to or watch. Anything I could learn
41:09
from, I was new and I was hungry.
41:12
These people believed that the only way to learn
41:14
was to be in the experience. They
41:17
believed the only way to learn to close a deal was
41:19
actually in the close and that selling was a numbers
41:21
game and suggested to me that my
41:23
results would be based on how many people
41:25
I could get in front of and it was not
41:28
something you could actually control or predict.
41:31
I agree that all success has something to do with the
41:33
numbers game.
41:34
It only makes sense. The more people I'm in front of, the
41:36
more people I'm going to do well with. I
41:39
also know there's a science to increasing
41:42
results.
41:43
If you're trying to go to the moon,
41:45
it's not how many rockets you can be able to get up there.
41:48
At some point, you have to make some smart
41:50
analysis to predict whether the rocket's
41:52
going to even leave the ground. Otherwise, you're going to go busted
41:55
broke in the rocket business. See, there
41:57
exists a science, a body of knowledge for
41:59
everything.
41:59
everything in life, everything you want to
42:02
know about. Today I know that
42:03
there is a body of knowledge. There
42:05
is nothing you can't know.
42:08
Because if it was just a numbers game, for instance,
42:10
in selling, if it was just a numbers game,
42:13
then all success would be
42:15
some random lottery and there'd be
42:17
no control at all.
42:19
If anyone has ever told you there's something
42:21
you can't know, trust me, trust
42:24
me, you can know. Go do
42:26
the research. Somebody's looked into the
42:28
area, you can know and control
42:30
as much as you want to,
42:32
particularly around selling. We're
42:34
not talking about the heavens parting here.
42:36
We're talking about closing human
42:38
beings on exchange.
42:40
So I continue to watch these people as a young
42:43
salesperson.
42:44
They were the only people I could learn from because I
42:46
had no other resources for information. Let's face
42:48
it, these people knew volumes, volumes
42:51
more than I knew. But what I heard
42:53
them say and what I observed from
42:55
these
42:56
professionals
42:58
were the same type of attempts being repeated
43:00
over and over and most often
43:02
with very poor results. In
43:04
the middle of the negotiations, they'd say things like,
43:07
hey, what would it take to do this? Or
43:09
where do we need to be? Or what
43:11
is your budget? And hey, by
43:14
the way, if I could do this or that or whatever it is
43:16
you want, would you actually buy the product?
43:19
These people were repeating the same things over and over. It
43:21
was a very limited range of closes.
43:24
Certainly was not a science.
43:26
Top guy doesn't always mean much.
43:29
See, the most experienced and most respected
43:31
person in this group had been at the same
43:33
location for 12 years,
43:35
had accumulated a tremendous amount
43:38
of following from customers, and
43:40
he had only achieved average results
43:42
at best.
43:43
While he acted quite confident and
43:45
was more experienced than all the rest of us,
43:48
he was still unable to predict his income.
43:51
He was never quite sure of what his production
43:53
would be and his earnings were
43:56
flat.
43:57
Year over year, they were flat. They weren't
43:59
going up. Though he bragged about
44:01
his past production,
44:03
and when it came to predicting his future production,
44:05
he talked about it as though it were up to
44:07
someone else or it was up to the economy, it
44:09
was up to the manufacturer, up to management.
44:12
While he bragged about past production, he could
44:15
not predict his future production. This
44:17
confused me. It didn't seem consistent
44:20
with how I thought other people would
44:22
create businesses.
44:24
How could someone work at the same place for 12 years
44:27
and still not be able to predict his income? I
44:29
mean, basically he was in the same place
44:31
I was and I was brand new.
44:34
If everyone else, the economy,
44:36
the manufacturer and luck were responsible
44:38
for his results, where is the
44:40
security in that job?
44:43
How could I even ever plan a vacation
44:45
or make an investment or buy
44:47
a house if I couldn't plan? Lastly,
44:51
and most amazing to me, is how could someone
44:53
sell fewer products? 144 months
44:56
after they started a business, 12 years, then
44:58
they did the first month they were in the business.
45:01
This came up during the earlier period
45:03
of confusion for me
45:05
because this top guy had experienced what
45:07
he said he was having, man, I'm having a devastating
45:09
month, this is killing me. He was
45:11
complaining, the idiot sold, he told me, I
45:13
sold one half the products this month in
45:16
the 144th month of his
45:18
career,
45:19
then he had the very first month.
45:22
This freaked me out. It seemed mathematically
45:24
impossible to have 12 years of experience, 12
45:27
years of knowledge, and 12 years of customers
45:30
and sell fewer products. But it was happening
45:33
and it was happening to him and I'm
45:35
telling you, I was concerned it would happen to me one day.
45:37
It didn't
45:38
give me much security about
45:40
this business that I was in. I'm like, 12 years from now
45:42
I'm going to have this experience? I don't want that. Here's
45:44
the most respected salesperson in the group and
45:46
I knew if it could happen to him,
45:48
then it could happen to me. I
45:50
was telling a friend I had graduated college with about
45:52
this situation, about this guy selling 144
45:55
months of business in the same industry, in the same industry.
45:59
location in the same company and
46:02
then having this devastating month and not being able
46:04
to predict his income and I was telling him how disconcerting
46:07
it was for me. He said to me,
46:09
Grant maybe these guys really don't know what they're doing
46:11
and you shouldn't be comparing yourself to them. Maybe
46:14
these people lack commitment, maybe they lack dedication,
46:17
maybe they don't have an education and
46:20
maybe they don't have the dreams that you have. Maybe
46:23
you don't have to have these swings in production
46:26
and maybe these guys are the wrong people to
46:28
model your career after.
46:30
All that hit home for me it was like when he was
46:32
telling me this I'm like wow maybe that's the problem
46:35
maybe I'm comparing myself to the wrong people.
46:38
You know I knew that the way they
46:40
were approaching their futures
46:42
was incorrect and then I had
46:44
to do something different. It
46:46
wasn't the job, it wasn't selling,
46:48
it wasn't the company, it wasn't the product,
46:51
it was
46:52
the mathematical formulas these
46:54
people were using. I need to get in front of a lot of people, if I
46:56
get in front of a lot of people and I don't know what I'm doing I'll still be
46:58
successful. That's an incorrect formula. You
47:01
got to know what you're doing when you're with these. While these
47:03
people they call themselves professional
47:05
salespeople, the truth is they knew very
47:08
very little about the subject and in fact
47:10
we're not even participating in controlling the
47:12
outcome of this subject. None
47:14
of them had any real formula
47:17
or plan to work with and only a limited
47:20
amount of strategies that proved
47:22
to be hit or miss at the best. See
47:25
success should be dependable. I had
47:27
already had some success, it just wasn't
47:29
consistent. I mean I've been selling for a couple
47:32
months now, I'm like I hit or miss, it was like I
47:34
could do good one month and not so good the next but
47:36
it wasn't consistent, it wasn't predictable
47:38
and it wasn't dependable
47:41
and if you can't predict it and you can't depend
47:43
on it how can you really call it success?
47:45
It had been the scary
47:48
kind of success that was fleeting and mysterious
47:51
that has no security involved. It wasn't
47:53
because I wasn't trying,
47:55
it was because I didn't have proven strategies
47:57
in order to get people to agree with me
47:59
and hit that critical survival
48:01
exchange point I talked about earlier.
48:04
Remember critical survival exchange point?
48:07
When they give me something, I give them something and
48:09
we have the clothes.
48:11
Up to this point in my career, things were heading in
48:13
the same direction as those around
48:15
me, the furniture. There were
48:18
no strategies, there
48:19
was no control, there was no plan,
48:22
and when those things are not present, there's
48:23
no way to predict results. I
48:26
would tell myself, all you can do grand
48:28
is work harder, see more people, things will
48:30
improve, keep your chin up man, be positive.
48:33
This was more hope than strategy,
48:35
more effort than results.
48:37
I was getting sick of hoping and
48:39
it's hard to work harder when you aren't getting results
48:42
and I know you know what I mean. When it
48:44
came to closing the deal, when it came time
48:46
to wrapping a deal, it was mostly
48:49
heart beating, bum bum bum bum bum bum, scared
48:51
to death, fingers crossed, hoping and praying
48:54
that people would like me enough to buy from me type
48:56
of closing. I was experiencing more
48:59
fear than my prospects were and
49:01
look that is not a good sign. Note,
49:03
fear is an indicator that you don't know
49:06
something. If a line comes
49:08
to attack me and I know exactly how to kill
49:10
the line, I'm probably not gonna fear it, particularly
49:12
if I've been through it a number of times. Fear
49:14
is an indicator that you don't know something,
49:17
don't know how to do something, aren't
49:19
in control of something. At this time
49:22
in my career, I didn't know how to ask for the close.
49:24
Look, I didn't know how to justify the
49:26
close. I couldn't create urgency.
49:29
I couldn't see the close. I
49:31
couldn't handle objections. I wasn't
49:33
able to persist and the truth
49:36
is my results
49:37
were at best based
49:39
on fingers crossed
49:42
luck. Then the blame phenomenon
49:44
kicked in as a way to handle my disappointment.
49:46
You ever had that experience? You're not getting any closes
49:49
and the blame phenomenon kicks in? You
49:51
start blaming your prospects. You
49:53
start calling them unreasonable. I'm starting
49:55
to say they're too difficult. Hey, they are not
49:58
qualified when they were.
49:59
They're a waste of my time,
50:02
and when I got tired of blaming the prospect,
50:05
when that didn't work anymore, I
50:06
started blaming management. When that
50:08
didn't work, I started blaming the product. When
50:11
that didn't work, I started blaming the manufacturers,
50:13
called the blame phenomenon. This
50:15
is what every failing salesperson and dreamer
50:17
goes through in order to justify their poor results.
50:21
It was, this
50:22
is a rule, it was, and
50:24
you should learn to live by this rule, it was and it
50:27
never is the customer management
50:30
or the product. You need to knock off this
50:32
blame phenomenon. It is a late
50:34
response to someone that doesn't
50:37
know what they're doing. Ridicule
50:39
is a good indicator.
50:40
The people that work with me laughed and ridiculed
50:43
me for this newfound interest and
50:45
quest and this dedication, but the
50:47
laughter didn't last long because my production
50:50
went out the roof almost immediately.
50:52
I have come to believe that ridicule by others
50:55
can often be a good indicator that you
50:57
are doing something right. Their incomes
51:00
didn't change. Mine went up.
51:02
My results immediately showed up in
51:04
both higher closing ratio, increased
51:07
sales, and increased income.
51:10
I became the leading salesperson for the first time,
51:12
and I was outselling everyone else in numbers
51:14
that had never been achieved by anyone
51:17
in this group before. One month, I
51:19
sold more products than the entire crew
51:22
combined. I was pumped. I
51:24
was in control, and I knew
51:26
this had just begun. There's a direct
51:28
relationship between the amount of effort someone is
51:30
willing to put into their learning
51:32
and
51:33
their earnings. Let me tell you, ridicule
51:35
is a good indicator of success. At
51:38
first, everyone including me thought my results
51:40
were just a fluke, some luck, some random
51:42
happening that could not be repeated and sustained.
51:45
I continued to study, and month after month,
51:47
I continued to outsell everyone. Again,
51:49
at first I was ridiculed, then I was
51:51
resented, and later I was embraced to
51:53
find out by others, hey man, what are you doing
51:56
that made such a difference? What are you listening
51:58
to? What are you learning? Can you teach me? some
52:00
of that. At first I was ridiculed,
52:02
then I was resented, and later I was embraced.
52:05
So know that you're going to probably go through that when you start
52:07
really getting committed to your career and getting results
52:09
in your career. Management started asking
52:11
me to start working with and training the
52:14
other salespeople
52:15
on these newfound strategies, which
52:17
I did because I believed the more I could
52:19
teach other people, the more I would learn. Hey,
52:32
Grant Cardone here, host of the Cardone Zone. Thank
52:34
you for listening.
