Gift Ideas for Solopreneurs - Detailed Overview
00:03:58
Speaker
That being said, let's jump into this.
00:04:00
Speaker
And I'm going to go through these gift ideas, these incentive ideas.
00:04:05
Speaker
Order I am kind of doing in them here is generally kind of more expensive to less expensive.
00:04:15
Speaker
higher value to lower value.
00:04:16
Speaker
Okay.
00:04:17
Speaker
So if you were looking to drop some bigger money, you're going to want to listen to the beginning ones.
00:04:22
Speaker
If you're looking for the lower ticket items, then moving skip to the end.
00:04:27
Speaker
And before we jump into these, I will say that all of these are going to be in the show notes.
00:04:32
Speaker
So if you're at the gym, if you're driving your area, whatever,
00:04:36
Speaker
Don't worry about writing these down because you're going to be able to just click the show notes, see links for all of these.
00:04:42
Speaker
It's going to make it super easy to go check them out and go buy them for yourself or for your teams.
Investing in Sales Training
00:04:50
Speaker
And another, I guess, disclaimer before we jump into these, they're not all necessarily sales related, but if you haven't noticed in the podcast or if you haven't been in sales for a while now,
00:05:04
Speaker
There are a lot of aspects of your life that directly relate to how well you're going to do in cells.
00:05:10
Speaker
If you're not taking care of your body, guess what?
00:05:12
Speaker
It's going to affect your cells game.
00:05:14
Speaker
If you're not eating right, it's going to affect your cells game.
00:05:17
Speaker
If you're not sleeping right, your cells are not going to be as good as they could otherwise.
00:05:24
Speaker
So keep that in mind as we go through these gifts.
00:05:26
Speaker
A lot of these things have to do with that, have to do with treating your body and just different aspects of your life.
00:05:33
Speaker
So let's jump into it.
00:05:34
Speaker
And the first one is actually cells related.
00:05:37
Speaker
And the first one I think is probably the most important gift you could give.
00:05:43
Speaker
And that is the gift of cells training.
00:05:46
Speaker
So number one, go get some cells training in the form of a Soul Society membership program.
00:05:54
Speaker
Most economical sales training out there, super affordable.
00:05:59
Speaker
Right now we're at 99 bucks a month.
00:06:02
Speaker
You can go and give yourself the gift of education, learning from top store professionals and get, in my opinion, the best feature we have in the industry and that is direct feedback from other sales coaches.
Efficiency and Health in Sales
00:06:16
Speaker
Recording yourself in your presentations and getting feedback sent straight to your phone.
00:06:22
Speaker
Okay, so that's number one, get yourself a Soul Society membership.
00:06:25
Speaker
And the other piece of this is just other sales training.
00:06:30
Speaker
So we have the Door-to-Door Con coming up, Door-to-Door Conference.
00:06:34
Speaker
It's coming up next month.
00:06:36
Speaker
The time that's recording in January.
00:06:39
Speaker
And as I've mentioned in the previous few episodes, we have a discount code.
00:06:44
Speaker
It's armstrongd2d.com.
00:06:47
Speaker
That is another great incentive idea, great gift idea.
00:06:50
Speaker
Give yourself the gift of networking and education from the best solar sales people, best door sales people on the planet.
00:06:58
Speaker
Okay, so that's number one.
00:07:01
Speaker
Get yourself some education.
00:07:03
Speaker
Number two, we got a Segway Mini.
00:07:07
Speaker
Or you can also get a Segway scooter.
00:07:09
Speaker
Another thing I've mentioned a few times, if you follow me on social media or have been listening to the podcast for a while, I think having a Segway is essential.
00:07:18
Speaker
For me, it's not.
00:07:20
Speaker
Not even so much just the efficiency part.
00:07:23
Speaker
You're zooming door to door, it's saving you time.
00:07:25
Speaker
But the other piece of this, for me, it gets me in a much better mindset.
00:07:30
Speaker
If someone throws me off their doorstep, if someone slams a door on me,
00:07:35
Speaker
I know in my head I'm going to be happy.
00:07:38
Speaker
Just zoom into the next door on my Segway.
00:07:41
Speaker
So that's the dual purpose of it.
00:07:43
Speaker
Get your Segway.
00:07:44
Speaker
I think these run about $500 for the Segway minis.
00:07:48
Speaker
The scooters are more expensive.
00:07:50
Speaker
I think they're $700 to $1,000.
00:07:53
Speaker
And I do prefer the Segway versus the scooter Segway mini.
00:07:57
Speaker
The reason is because I'm holding my slicks.
00:08:00
Speaker
My folders, my qualification cards, I'm holding all that in my arms as I go to the next door.
00:08:07
Speaker
If I'm on a scooter, a little difficult to be holding stuff in your hands and riding a scooter.
00:08:13
Speaker
Maybe I'm just uncoordinated, but in my opinion, a little bit easier to have a Segway versus a scooter.
00:08:20
Speaker
So that's number two.
00:08:21
Speaker
At number three, we got an Aura Ring.
00:08:25
Speaker
I think I'm saying that right.
00:08:27
Speaker
Or a Whoop band.
00:08:30
Speaker
And keep in mind, I do not have, I don't own all of these products.
00:08:34
Speaker
I would say probably about half of these on the list, maybe a little more than half I own and use pretty frequently.
00:08:41
Speaker
But the others, I've seen them going around.
00:08:43
Speaker
I've had them recommended to me.
00:08:46
Speaker
They seem awesome to me and I'm going to get them soon.
00:08:50
Speaker
So that's why I have them on this list.
00:08:52
Speaker
And I think they would make great, you know, gifts and incentives for your team.
00:08:57
Speaker
So number three,
00:08:59
Speaker
An Aura Ring, if you have not heard of that, it's a ring that you can wear.
00:09:03
Speaker
These run, I think, about 300 bucks.
00:09:06
Speaker
You wear them and they tell you your heart rate.
00:09:09
Speaker
They tell you how much sleep you're getting.
00:09:11
Speaker
They tell you supposedly when you're getting sick and all these stats on your daily life.
00:09:18
Speaker
They give you, you know, your exercise stats, stuff like that.
00:09:22
Speaker
Pretty much breaks everything down, tells you exactly how your body's functioning.
00:09:28
Speaker
And the other thing is a Whoop band.
00:09:30
Speaker
It does essentially the same thing, but it's just a band now.
00:09:35
Speaker
It's a little bracelet you wear.
00:09:37
Speaker
I list them both, and the difference between them and our ring, I think, is 300 bucks, and then you pay about six bucks a month to stay connected with a membership.
00:09:48
Speaker
The Whoop band, you pay just the membership, but it is, last I checked, about 30 bucks a month versus like the six bucks that you'd pay for the Our Ring.
00:09:58
Speaker
So a little bit of give and take and then just a preference.
00:10:01
Speaker
I guess do you like wearing bands or do you like wearing rings?
00:10:05
Speaker
It looks like they both do pretty much the same thing.
00:10:08
Speaker
I don't have either of these so maybe one is better.
00:10:10
Speaker
I have to hear from our audience.
00:10:12
Speaker
Hit me up if you have one or if you try both of them and you like one better than the other.
00:10:17
Speaker
I think this is super cool especially if you are knocking doors or if you're trying to be healthier.
00:10:22
Speaker
It's going to help you measure little stats.
00:10:25
Speaker
and just a cool product.
00:10:27
Speaker
Cool thing to stay healthy, especially with the sleep, noticing how much sleep you get.
00:10:32
Speaker
Okay, so number four, we got a Peloton bike.
00:10:36
Speaker
These things are dope.
00:10:37
Speaker
I want one soon.
00:10:38
Speaker
I do not have one yet, but I have been on them a few times.
00:10:43
Speaker
If you haven't seen these, you're probably living under a rock, but a Peloton bike is just the bikes that give you the exercise classes.
00:10:53
Speaker
And a higher ticket thing, I think these start at around $1,000.
00:10:56
Speaker
I've heard they're getting one more affordable.
00:10:59
Speaker
But I've seen these going around in sales competitions as incentives, as prizes for sales tournaments.
00:11:06
Speaker
I think this would be an awesome thing.
00:11:08
Speaker
Get your sales squad in shape and get your guys exercising or girls exercising for the winter.
00:11:16
Speaker
At number five, this is I think the highest ticket thing on here.
00:11:20
Speaker
Another exercise type item we got here.
00:11:24
Speaker
And that is a tonal.
00:11:26
Speaker
If you watch sports, you've probably seen these in commercials.
00:11:29
Speaker
LeBron James is in the commercials.
00:11:31
Speaker
But it's basically one of those mirror type video things that goes on your wall.
00:11:36
Speaker
And then it has these arms that come out.
00:11:39
Speaker
That's pretty much like a cable system.
00:11:42
Speaker
And then I guess it adds like resistance.
00:11:44
Speaker
You have all these trainings classes on there and you can do pretty much any, you know, gym movement you can think of with these adjustable like lever arms and then a bench that comes with it.
00:11:57
Speaker
It looks pretty awesome.
00:11:58
Speaker
And yeah, cool item to have.
00:12:01
Speaker
yeah this one like I said is pretty high ticket these are like three grand so maybe this is like your top prize top incentive whatever maybe it's your winner incentive for the quarter but I think it's pretty cool item pretty unique thing it's gonna help your guys stay in shape at number six sorry to have so many help type items on here but as you can see I think health is super important
00:12:28
Speaker
to your success in exercising, super important to your success in door-to-door sales, or even if you're not doing door-to-door, anything in solar.
00:12:37
Speaker
It's going to help you perform better because it's going to get you mentally in the right space.
00:12:43
Speaker
Okay, so number six is a Vitamix blender.
00:12:46
Speaker
And I think these are essential because you need to be drinking your green smoothies.
00:12:51
Speaker
Okay, I love my green smoothies.
00:12:55
Speaker
I'm off and on on them, but if you haven't tried a green smoothie, you put all your spinach in there, you blend it up with some fruit and some protein powder, and you pour it down the hatch.
00:13:06
Speaker
Vitamix, these things I think are about $300 and the best blender, in my opinion, on the market.
00:13:13
Speaker
Another sweet item you can use in incentives and competitions.
00:13:18
Speaker
And number seven, going along with a blender, is an ice maker.
00:13:25
Speaker
And the reason I think this is cool is because when I think of sales teams, especially door-to-door, a lot of us start out in, you know, apartments, junky apartments.
00:13:35
Speaker
Maybe you got a bunch of like younger guys, like I'm on my team right now.
00:13:40
Speaker
We got a bunch of younger guys on our squad.
00:13:43
Speaker
In these apartments, there is never ice.
00:13:46
Speaker
And the story behind this, I actually lived in an apartment, you know, my current
00:13:53
Speaker
apartment I'm living in, actually, we did not have an ice maker, and my dad, he comes out here, gives us a visit, my dad, he's super into biking, he does, like, 100-mile road races, 200 miles, so he comes out, and he notices we don't have ice, we're just drinking straight from the tap, and he's like, how do you guys survive?
00:14:16
Speaker
I would die if I didn't have ice, there's no way you guys are just drinking water straight from the tap,
00:14:22
Speaker
Mike yeah dad that's what I've been doing for two three years now I'm just used to it next day he shows up at our house he goes on a little errand he brings us back an ice maker says I can't allow you guys to live like you man you need your ice okay so I love having ice now I can't go back to no ice
00:14:44
Speaker
So we have a little ice little portable ice maker and I've seen some cool ones that are the Pella ice makers These things are only like a hundred hundred to 150 bucks Pretty good value and I think it's definitely worth getting yourselves teams Especially if they're hanging out in apartments, whatever get them an ice maker gonna make them happy and number eight is an e-bike Hey for those that like biking
00:15:12
Speaker
Or those that are, you know, biking fans, but maybe not the fastest on a bike or maybe need to keep up.
00:15:19
Speaker
I think e-bikes are sweet.
00:15:21
Speaker
It's kind of the new craze.
00:15:22
Speaker
A lot of people are biking around on these things.
00:15:25
Speaker
And what's cool is maybe you went out too far for a ride and you're too tired to get back.
00:15:30
Speaker
We'll just hit on that engine or I guess whatever you call it, battery, turn on the battery and you're flying back home in no time at all.
Sleep and Recovery Tools
00:15:39
Speaker
So I'm gonna link to this, but there's a pretty sweet one that's available.
00:15:44
Speaker
I think it's like four, yeah, four or 500 bucks.
00:15:47
Speaker
So pretty affordable too.
00:15:48
Speaker
Okay, number nine is one that I think would be super cool for improving your sleep.
00:15:56
Speaker
I do not have this, but I think it would be sweet.
00:15:59
Speaker
It's called a chili pad.
00:16:01
Speaker
What it does, it's basically a pad you put underneath your sheets.
00:16:06
Speaker
and it has water i guess kind of like a water bed running through and it will set the bed to a specific temperature so maybe you're always hot maybe you're selling out in texas or arizona and you're always just burning up every night you can set this pad to be like 60 degrees cool you down
00:16:28
Speaker
or maybe you're freezing, or maybe you're married, like myself, maybe you both have different temperatures, you can set both sides of the bed to be at different temperatures.
00:16:37
Speaker
You can set, I don't know, your wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, you can set theirs to be 100 degrees and yours to be 50.
00:16:46
Speaker
So pretty cool.
00:16:48
Speaker
Another thing I thought would be super useful to help your guys improve on their sleep.
00:16:53
Speaker
Number 10, okay, we got five more, we're going.
00:16:56
Speaker
And this, we could probably go all day.
00:16:59
Speaker
We got five more and then we're gonna wrap it up.
00:17:02
Speaker
So number 10 is a massage gun.
00:17:04
Speaker
Okay, a lot of my friends have a Theragun, but you can get some pretty sweet massage guns on Amazon for like 100 bucks.
00:17:14
Speaker
And to me, it looks like they're all doing the same.
00:17:16
Speaker
I've used both of them.
00:17:17
Speaker
I've used the Theraguns that are like 400 bucks.
00:17:20
Speaker
And then I've used the $100 ones.
00:17:23
Speaker
They seem pretty much the same.
00:17:24
Speaker
Okay, so I'm going to link to one that I think is $120.
00:17:30
Speaker
And it seems dope.
00:17:32
Speaker
So whatever you want to do with Theragun, we're going to get cheaper options.
00:17:35
Speaker
And if you are grinding, let's say you're out on a Blitz.
00:17:39
Speaker
you're knocking 10 hours, whatever that day, nothing better than getting home and just taking a massage gun straight to the glutes, loosen up those muscles after a hard day of knocking doors or a day where you just ran, I don't know, six appointments.
00:17:55
Speaker
Okay, so that's number 10.
00:17:57
Speaker
Number 11 is something that I think is becoming more and more important.
00:18:03
Speaker
Let's be honest, most of us are on our phones or iPads or computers.
00:18:09
Speaker
many hours during the day.
00:18:11
Speaker
If you're like me, you get to the end of the week and you get the notification popping up on your iPhone that says congrats, you averaged seven hours on your phone every day.
00:18:22
Speaker
and it's not like you know we're wasting time but if you're using knocking apps if you're using cell portals if you're sending text out to customers on the phone if you were using your phone to get to your area you're putting in directions then you're racking up tons hours tons of time on the phone so what's better to have than blue light blockers okay that's those glasses that you put on it's going to block out the blue light
00:18:48
Speaker
And especially talking about the topic of sleep, you need to be blocking out the, you know, this light as you're getting ready to hit the sack.
00:19:00
Speaker
I still struggle with it, but if you don't have the routine of just shutting down your devices, you know, an hour before you go to sleep, the next best thing is putting on these blue light blockers.
00:19:12
Speaker
So like 20, 30 bucks, you can get just these glasses, going to block out the blue light for you.
Tech and Tools for Sales Professionals
00:19:18
Speaker
Okay, number 12 is something I've been seeing more and more of, especially if you go to a lot of sales conferences like myself.
00:19:27
Speaker
That is a remarkable.
00:19:29
Speaker
If you haven't seen these things, they are basically like an iPad.
00:19:32
Speaker
It's a tablet that you write on, but what's unique about it is it doesn't have, you don't get apps on it.
00:19:41
Speaker
All it is, it's a tablet and you can write on it.
00:19:44
Speaker
That's it.
00:19:45
Speaker
and then it categorizes your notes into different folders.
00:19:49
Speaker
You can access them, super, you know, kind of lightweight, portable, durable.
00:19:55
Speaker
So a cool thing to have if you're going to a lot of trainings, you don't have to be toting around 20 notebooks, losing them, and then you can easily set up folders.
00:20:04
Speaker
So as I've been going to the Noxstar events, the door-to-door cons, all that, I've been seeing more and more people get these.
00:20:12
Speaker
I do not have one myself yet, but I think it is a great, I would love one.
00:20:18
Speaker
So shoot me one if you're listening.
00:20:20
Speaker
Okay, I'll probably get one soon.
00:20:22
Speaker
But I think it would be a great incentive idea or great thing to get as a gift for your solar pre-work friends.
00:20:29
Speaker
And number 13, you've heard me talk about this before.
00:20:33
Speaker
It is a boom boom stick.
00:20:35
Speaker
Hey, if you've read The Way of the Wolf by Jordan Belfort, you know what I'm talking about here.
00:20:41
Speaker
It is these basically essential oil sticks that you can just, you know, shoot up, snort up there as you're getting ready for your appointments.
00:20:50
Speaker
And the idea is that you trigger your senses.
00:20:54
Speaker
and it's kind of a form of NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming.
00:20:59
Speaker
You're trying to trigger your senses and have that sense of smell attached to really just the sense of success, the sense of you closing the deal.
00:21:09
Speaker
So these things I think are awesome, gets me in the right mood to get out there and sell.
00:21:15
Speaker
You can get them in fruity flavors and nothing better than getting you fired up to go out there and sell.
00:21:20
Speaker
So these things are super affordable.
00:21:21
Speaker
You can get a pack of, I don't know, five for, I think, 30 bucks, 20, 30 bucks.
00:21:27
Speaker
Super affordable.
00:21:29
Speaker
Get one of these today.
Rewards and Recognition
00:21:31
Speaker
Okay, and our last two, last but not least, number 14, we have Nike gift cards or, you know, Adidas, whatever you're into.
00:21:40
Speaker
I was all about the Nikes, but I'll be honest.
00:21:44
Speaker
These Adidas, right now I'm rocking the Adidas Ultra Boost.
00:21:48
Speaker
I think that's what they're called.
00:21:50
Speaker
Yeah, Ultra Boost.
00:21:51
Speaker
And I'm a big fan.
00:21:53
Speaker
Have a ton of cushion, super comfy.
00:21:55
Speaker
Yeah, love Nike, but man, these Adidas Ultra Boost, they're no joke.
00:22:01
Speaker
So these are always, you know, if you've been in sales, you know any shoes are just great incentives because we're out on our feet, we're out walking to appointments, we're out knocking doors.
00:22:11
Speaker
You got to have some nice kicks, get that foot support.
00:22:14
Speaker
Okay, and then the last one we got here is a lanyard.
00:22:21
Speaker
I've been talking with people over and over like, hey, what do you do?
00:22:25
Speaker
It gets dark so early now.
00:22:27
Speaker
Out here in San Diego where I'm at,
00:22:29
Speaker
It is dark by 5 o'clock right now.
00:22:32
Speaker
And so what do you do?
00:22:34
Speaker
How do you still get people's attention, still get their trust as you're out there knocking?
00:22:40
Speaker
So I was recently asking a few of my mentors, Danny Pesci, Taylor McCarthy.
00:22:44
Speaker
I'm like, guys, do you got any ideas on anything else you do?
00:22:48
Speaker
So I heard this from a few people, but that is get a light up lanyard.
00:22:53
Speaker
And Danny Pesce actually told me this.
00:22:55
Speaker
He said, man, just look like a Christmas tree going in their house.
00:22:58
Speaker
They're going to think you're some wacko nut job walking in the door.
00:23:01
Speaker
You're not trying to sing Christmas carols.
00:23:03
Speaker
They're not going to think you are selling them something.
00:23:06
Speaker
So what a better way to grab attention than get a lanyard that looks like you're, I don't know, out Christmas caroling.
00:23:14
Speaker
So that is number 15.
00:23:16
Speaker
Again, super affordable.
00:23:17
Speaker
Go and get yourselves, teams, some light-up lanyards.
00:23:21
Speaker
Throw some name tags in there.
00:23:22
Speaker
It's going to grab some attention.
00:23:24
Speaker
It's going to generate credibility because you have your name tag in there.
00:23:29
Speaker
And you're going to feel great knocking in the dark because you're going to see yourself glowing in the dark as you look at your lanyard.
