fyi those calendar qualifier questions aren’t just for filtering. they’re meant to send more qualified people your way whether you’re short on sellers or not. if you do have a seller shortage, calendar space is expensive. every unqualified booking is a slot a real deal could’ve had. qualifiers + the trainee/closer split work together (better questions mean fewer wasted bookings), and a clear split means the ones that do book go to the right person without you triaging manually.

how to split a calendar between a closer in training and a full closer when you don’t have the manpower to run two full-time: - send the trainee your lowest-stakes bookings first (smaller deal size, less complex objections, less to lose if it goes sideways). - block specific days, not random slots. “trainee gets tuesdays and thursdays” beats trying to sort every booking manually in real time. - set a dollar threshold. anything over $X automatically routes to the full closer, no exceptions until the trainee’s closed enough reps to earn the range moving up. - shadow the first 10-15 calls live or recorded before handing over solo bookings (don’t split the calendar until there’s actual evidence). - review closed-lost calls together weekly. the split only works if the trainee’s ratio is actually improving, not just absorbing volume. you don’t need two full closers. you need one clear rule for who gets what, so you’re not making that decision on the fly every time a call books.

if you love disqualified candidates on calendars don’t read this use these: clarifying questions to put in your calendar invite before a sales call — 10 options, pick what fits: - what specifically prompted you to book this call? - is there a specific outcome you’re hoping to walk away with? - who else, if anyone, will be joining the call? - is there anything relevant i should know before we talk (current tools, past attempts, constraints)? - what would make this call a waste of your time? - what’s the actual decision you’re trying to make right now? - what’s your timeline for making a decision? - what have you already tried that didn’t work? - what’s the main thing standing in the way right now? - is there anything you’re hesitant about going into this call? recommendation: pick 3-5. every question past that adds friction and starts costing you booked calls. choose the ones that actually change how you’d prep, not the ones that just feel thorough.

It can never be an interrogation. That’s why tonality is key to this too.

the scariest thing anyone has ever seen cold call structure, one section at a time: - opener: pattern interrupt, not a pitch. “hey [name] — what did i catch you in the middle of?” - bridge: acknowledge their response in one line, then move. “ha fair, i’ll be quick.” - value line: name their problem before you name your solution. “saw [specific thing] — most teams in that spot lose [cost] to [problem].” - qualify: “what are you doing about it now?” then “what’s not working?” — get them to say the value out loud before you pitch anything. - ask for time: two options, not open-ended. “worth 15 min? thursday at 2 or friday at 10?” skip a step and the whole thing collapses. each one exists to fix a specific reason people hang up or say no. terrifying…I know

ran inner game through russell brunson’s perfect webinar structure. here’s the full breakdown: - hook: get 10 more qualified clients a month, without turning into a fake version of yourself to close the call. not “sell more.” sell more without hating who you become to do it. - origin story: 17 years stuck in face-to-face, transactional sales. cold calling fucking sucked — every rejection felt personal, every “no” confirmed something i already believed about myself. didn’t fix it by getting a better script. fixed it by fixing what happened in my head before i ever picked up the phone. average deal size is now almost the cost of a lambo. 3 false beliefs broken: - vehicle belief: “i need a better script” — no, you have the script, you don’t use it. that’s not a tactics gap. - internal belief: “i’m just not built for sales” — you’re not unqualified, you’re under-repped. those are different problems with different fixes. - external belief: “the market’s harder now, leads are worse” — the market didn’t change your nervous system. that reaction was already there before the market got harder. the stack: - personalized training on your actual question, not a generic module - vibe coded apps built specifically for this, not available anywhere else - a 27-day challenge, so it’s not something you abandon after day 3 like a self-paced course - pdf guides for every class, so nothing disappears into a video you never rewatch the close: $47/mo. if you already know exactly what to say and still aren’t saying it, the problem was never information. it’s this. I think Russel Brunson would approve…probably

there’s not a single problem in your business that isn’t solved by being better at sales. - can’t hire? you haven’t sold the role well enough to attract the right person. cash flow issues? - you’re not closing enough or fast enough. low retention? you sold the wrong fit, or you undersold the value after the close. - stuck at the same revenue? you’ve stopped selling to new people and started coasting on referrals. - every “operational” problem eventually traces back to someone not selling something — the vision, the role, the value, the next step — clearly enough. that’s what inner game actually fixes. not more scripts. the ability to sell in every direction your business needs it, without freezing up the second it matters. you could watch the free training on the about page without even checking out and book 10 more qualified calls I don’t lie

the most popular YouTuber you probably never heard of sam sulek’s yt strategy is the opposite of everything “creators” teach: - ran named series (spring bulk, fall cut, winter bulk), one targeted workout per video, day after day, no breaks - thumbnails are raw screencaps straight from the video — no text, no design, no “click me” energy - posted daily, unedited, no hook-heavy intros, no forced narrative arc - the same format every single time — car on the way to the gym, workout, car on the way back no cheat codes. no growth hacks. just insane consistency and zero pretending to be a “content creator.” the system was the content.

built inner game to scratch my own itch. struggled for a long ass time getting out of face-to-face transactional sales. cold calling fucking sucked. now my average deal size is almost the cost of a lambo. and yet I only charge $47/mo probably the dumbest thing I do

nobody with imposter syndrome actually lacks the skills. they lack reps under pressure, and their brain is mislabeling that as “i’m a fraud.” the fix isn’t confidence. confidence comes after the evidence, not before it. you build it by doing the thing scared, collecting proof you survived it, and stacking that proof until the story stops holding up. waiting to feel ready is waiting for a feeling that only shows up after you’ve already done it enough times. it almost seems counterproductive but it’s actually 1000% a fact I don’t make the rules

@danielfazio Laughed out loud to this

@alexabelonix It’s daily so it’ll be like eating. You have to do it 🤣

most of what’s sold as “sales training” won’t actually change anything for you. i know, bc i give the tactics away for free and it still doesn’t move most people. this starts 100 days on why inner game exists (skool)— the psychology, what’s inside, and the proof as it builds. less an ad, more a build-in-public log. day 1 / 100 why enroll in inner game. not the tactics. you can get those free, i give them away constantly. this is the part nobody’s addressing — why you know exactly what to do and still don’t do it. 100 days of the actual reasons, starting now. link in bio w/a free 30 min starter training before you even click join
