Quality, Ethical Sales and Marketing Wisdom Mega-Thread

8 posts in this topic

As I'm learning more and more about sales and marketing, the foundations, Insights, do's and don'ts ,  with the purpose of becoming financially independent in the next 10 years , I'd like this place to be where I share what I find , and for this thread to become massively valuable over the years

You're welcome to share wisdom nuggets as well, but really think through if what you're posting is valuable, as to keep it tidy I will regularly be asking mods to remove irrelevant or low quality posts

 

I want to focus on high quality and ethical sales and marketing to the degree that is possible , but I consider learning and translating lessons from the coldhearted cutthroat real business world as well

 

I started with the Alex Hormozi Podcast. It's around 650 episodes long and I'll be mostly sharing stuff from there for now

The first 150 episodes focus more on a gym owner perspective before switching over to more pure sales and marketing, but it still very valuable for a newbie like me.

 

A little something from today: 

 

Value equation :

Value = Significance of Outcome multiplied  by likelihood of archivement divided by time and effort

 

Your product's value in the customers eye  can be calculated by understanding how deeply they value what you are offering them , multiplied by how likely is it that you can make reality that result  for them, divided by how much struggle it takes from their part .

And that is one factor that's on their mind when deciding if to pay the amount you're asking

@Michael569 great list. I especially like the part about description, not persuasion (which is mostly just manipulation in this context). That really seems to be the only way high consciousness sales can exist.

Here's my piece of wisdom:

Drop this idea that simply because a customer is wiling to pay for something, that you are offering them value. This is an incredibly toxic belief that is widespread in the internet marketing community. Rationalization on top of rationalization about why you should just figure out what the market wants and give it to them. Doesn't matter what it is as long as there is demand.

In reality, demand =! true value. There might be demand for cigarettes and drugs, can you honestly say selling those things is a high consciousness business that brings value to people? Perhaps in a twisted sort of way you could rationalize it. But it's obvious to me that people can demand all sorts of things that are not higher consciousness and may even hurt them.

If you actually loved your customers, you would care about what is best for them. End of story. 

Of course it practically may be more of a challenge to sell higher consciousness products. You might be get all excited about how your product is going to change the world, only to discover that people just want low consciousness garbage and get outcompeted. So get too idealistic either. You have to find a balance of demand and value.

This man has me consistently in tears for the degree of profound free value he provides. Truly, truly, truly an inspiration . I'm so grateful for Alex Hormozi.

Ignore the clickbait title ( even though  it's acurrate AF) This video will blow your mind and recontextualize the moneyy oportunity that is at your finger tips.

Seriously, if you are set on figuring out the finances in your life once for all, and you are no watching Alex' Hormozis YT, you are seriously missing out.

This man is the Owen Cook of sales and marketing minus the ego. He is absolutely on point with the title of this thread. A real philantropist.
