š¼ Real Experience & Principles That Actually Work
In sales, everyone dreams of six-figure deals. But dreams donāt work unless youĀ do. $260 million wasnāt luck. It was a choice. Made again. And again.
I went from cold calls to deals with stakes the size of a small cityās budget. And Iām not here to give you a theory. Iām here to share realityĀ ā how big sales reallyĀ happen.
1. Know whoās in front of you
Forget ātarget audienceā as an abstract concept. These are real people ā with fears, pain, and desire.
I always asked myself:ā What is he afraid of?ā What does he want but wonāt admit?ā What does success look like to him?
If you see a personĀ instead of a ālead,ā youāre already ahead.
2. Build the profile of a buyer who says āyesā without resistance
I had a file. Just a simple document.Inside: my best clients. Who they were, where they came from, how they thought, what their life looked like before ā and what changed after the deal.
When you know this ā you're not selling. You're offering the right solution.
3. Sell through trust
There are plenty of brokers.But partners? Rare.Want $10M+ deals? Forget the tricks. People arenāt stupid.
Speak honestly. Show the risks. Smile with your eyes, not your script.
What works:
ā
Transparency.Ā Donāt fear numbers.
ā
Real attention.Ā Not āuh-huh,ā but āI hear you.ā
ā
Accountability.Ā Promise only what you can back with action.
4. Automate everything ā except relationships
CRM? Yes. Funnels? Yes. Scripts? Absolutely.But no robot ever shook a clientās hand.
My team used CRM daily ā but the biggest deals? I closed them with voice, emotion, and human touch.
Automate your system. Keep your soul for people.
5. After-sales support isnāt a bonus. Itās your power.
Most forget the client once the contractās signed. I called a month later.
Sometimes Iād just ask:ā So, are you happy?
They felt it: I didnāt just āclose the deal.ā I stayed. And they came back ā with friends.
6. Train your team as if you're handing them the business
My rule: if Iām in a bad mood ā the team shouldnāt suffer. I taught every broker to see not an āobject,ā but valueĀ ā to say not āsell,ā but āhelp.ā
What worked best?
š„ Roleplays that made people sweatš„ Feedback that wasnāt āwell done,ā but āthis is where you lost the clientāš„ Personal growth plans tied to their real dreams
7. Motivation isnāt money. Itās respect and growth
Yes, bonuses matter. But more important is that a person feels:
ā āIām growing here.āā āThey see what I bring.āā āMy opinion counts.ā
Then theyāll follow you anywhere ā even into a $20M deal.
8. Analyze. Every. Damn. Stage.
Without numbers ā youāre guessing. With them ā youāre in control.
How many calls does it take to book one meeting? Where do leads drop off? What exactly is said when the client pulls away?
Answer that ā and you start managing.
9. Mistakes are allowed. Repeats ā are not.
Iāve made mistakesālost deals ā big ones. But Iāve never repeated the same mistake twice.
As long as youāre learning ā you havenāt lost.
10. Behind every number ā thereās a person
$260 million isnāt just sales. Itās stories. Itās families who moved to Dubai.Kids who started in a new school. Itās lives you helped transform.
And finally:
If you want big numbers ā stop chasing numbers.Become the person people trust.The one who sees. The one who listens.
