The Breakthrough Insight That Changes Everything:
"The fastest way to get what you want is to ask for help getting it, rather than directly asking for it."
Why This Works:
Most people approach cold outreach thinking: "How can I convince them to buy?"
But the breakthrough approach is: "How can I get them to help me understand their world?"
The Psychology:
- Selling = Resistance → People put up walls
- Asking for Help = Attraction → People want to contribute
- Pitching = Pressure → Creates stress and rejection
- Learning = Connection → Creates collaboration and openness
