Episode notes
You Sell Changed Futures, Not Services
- A key person of influence 'bends reality' for their clients by producing outcomes others cannot.
- That unique change in future state is the real product high-end clients pay for.
Use A Waiting List To Create Leverage
- Create a public waiting list and expression-of-interest form to protect capacity and generate scarcity.
- Use the list to filter, create options and shift negotiating power away from neediness.
Engineered Oversubscription
- Collect a broad pool (e.g., 10x desired clients) then apply rigid 'glass slipper' criteria to pick the best fits.
- Use a simple set of screening questions to identify top 5–10% qualified clients from the list.
