In this episode, Steve Fretzin and David Aaronson discuss:

• Why sales has a bad reputation in the legal industry.
• Being human before selling.
• Properly utilizing the Universal Seven Principles of Persuasion.
• Understanding the emotional decision-making that happens before the intellectual decision-making.

Key Takeaways:

• Sales has changed from hard selling to consultant selling.
• There is power in social proof and in having authority. What are you doing to build relationships and authority in your area of expertise?
• Look at what your competitors are doing and be an authority against those competitors. If they are creating lots of content online, you should be as well to compete with them.
• Do your research on those you want to build relationships with to create unity with something beyond the superficial.

"Just because the seven principles are there, doesn't mean they're going to happen naturally, you have to affect them." — David Aaronson
