For example, if you listen to someone, it makes them like you more. It’s just how we operate. And if they like you more and you listen to them, they’re more likely to give you something because you made them feel good. I mean, that’s just basic influence frameworks, but what you said is exactly how I explained it to him.
I said, “In your line of work, you were using these influence frameworks to manipulate people into giving you what you wanted. And in my line of work, I help people, and I solve problems.”
“I’m Not The Right Fit For You”
Jeb: The very last thing I want to do is sell someone something, or do something for someone that they don’t want or don’t need.

I could go out and sell things to people that they didn’t need, but I never do that.
It’s a normal thing for me and my business to turn customers honduras telegram data away and say, “We’re the wrong fit for you. You should not do this because you’re going to spend money with me and you’re not going to get the outcome that you desire.” And I’ve always led with that. And I believe that people know there’s sincerity in that. What’s so funny about it is when you tell them, “I’m the wrong fit for you,” they start trying to figure out how you can be a fit for them.
I said, “Listen, I’m not the right resource for you.” She said, “Well, I sure hope you are because I trust you.” And I said, “Well, then you’re going to have to trust me when I tell you I am not the right resource for you.” It’s exactly what you say. And those people will refer you to people because you’re honest.

Jeb: Exactly right. You’re honest. There’s a local place where I live called C&C Tire, we only take our cars there because we trust Tommy and he’s honest. If he can’t fix it, he won’t say, “Yeah I can fix it.” And then you spend money with him. He’ll say this isn’t going to happen here, let me get you someone that can do that.
