A psychological negotiation secret,that many businesses don`t use IRL.

I used to use this tactic when I sold websites back in the days to businesses.

You control the other party’s neurological frame of reference, without them realizing it.

The silent mind wrangler.

Set a high price without actually saying it out loud.

Say; This isn’t the kind of website solution that costs $20,000 (that’s the mind wrangler) and takes 6 months ... Suddenly, $7500 feels cognitively cheap for a website.

Now you control the other buyers neurological frame of reference, without them realizing it.

This can be applied to any service you got going if you want to make more money.

So, what is a good tip that you have on selling, feel free to share.
I know a lot of you guys are killing it out there, would love to learn more from you here on the topic of sales. Let`s share and up our sales and income.
 
Lately, I've been fascinated with watching woodworkers and learning important lessons about how much they sell their pieces for.

Personal branding is really something that shouldn’t be taken for granted in sales. I started watching more and more of these guys not necessarily because I’m interested in woodworking professionally, although it’s satisfying to watch these guys make furniture and see the whole process :)

One of the most important lessons to learn from them is how they’ve built their brands over the years through YouTube, creating such high quality content that people now trust them enough to pay thousands of dollars to have them build tables.

You will always see people ranting in the comments section of their videos, asking why they charge so much for just a table 😄

I mean, some of these guys sell tables for 25K USD... including material and labor costs usually around 10K.

Because they’re transparent about it especially someone like Cam from Blacktail Studio when viewers see the profit they make from just one client, it pisses some of them the hell off : D
You will see comment like "Who pays this much for just a table"

The thing is those people buying aren’t just paying that amount for the table alone, but also for the brand and the trust they have in them... (yeah, they are rich folks too, I get : D)

Another thing is, there’s really no price too low or too high for any service... you just have to build yourself up to attract the kind of clients who will pay what you want without too much hassle

To top it off, these guys also make money directly from their YouTube videos, on top of the profit from their work. It’s absolutely brilliant 😁

This is a strategy that’s so obvious, yet we tend to ignore it in our own businesses.

Love Blacktail. You seen his farm project?

That coffee table series he done we did bid on that to try and win it lol..

The pricing there is for the quality and the time he often states that some projects take months, despite a 30-minute video, all that back and forth with the client and hands-on the project is what you're paying for.

Mass-produced stuff is shit. Demand for people like him will explode as AI becomes more woven into our daily lives.

I don't really have a tip.

The last few years, I've started to take on projects that are TOO big for us to handle. Because I figure that's how you grow. The money will only go to a competitor.

So we very much have a "say yes and figure it out later" mantra.

I've never done timed delivery slots to a big distribution warehouse, sent 8 pallets on a massive lorry or pack up 16 gift boxes before. But I said yes and figured things out later and on the job.

Saying yes to that helped grow and develop another side to the company I never thought was possible.

Oh, I have seen the farm he bought... The place is pretty messed up. I think he wants Scott to live there while they fix it up 😄

That's true about client delays, but sometimes he just works based on an idea that comes to mind and puts the piece on his website for sale

Please, you gotta show us here if you ever win one of his auction tables 😄

I learned to have this attitude from my brother... It's really life changing especially for business growth
