Parker's Approach: Doubling Results Through Mindset
00:01:10
Speaker
Welcome to the Solarpreneur Podcast.
00:01:16
Speaker
All right, we are here with the one, the only Parker Winder.
00:01:20
Speaker
Parker, welcome to the show.
00:01:22
Speaker
Yo, what's up?
00:01:24
Speaker
Not too much, man.
00:01:25
Speaker
Thanks for being here.
00:01:27
Speaker
It is bright and early.
00:01:27
Speaker
It's 6 a.m.
00:01:29
Speaker
San Diego where I'm at, so I apologize if my voice sounds like I just woke up, but we're going to try and wake up and get going for the day here.
00:01:37
Speaker
So, Parker, can you tell us a little bit about what you do?
00:01:42
Speaker
What I do?
00:01:44
Speaker
I help...
00:01:46
Speaker
busy parents and spouses in business to be able to 2x their results across the board on their whole life within 90 days.
00:01:57
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:59
Speaker
And I'll tell my story with Parker.
00:02:01
Speaker
I met him, what, maybe about a year ago or so.
00:02:06
Speaker
And we got into the whole coaching side of things.
00:02:10
Speaker
For me, he was my sales coach.
00:02:12
Speaker
He helped me basically double my sales from where I was at.
00:02:16
Speaker
And I can't remember how I met him.
00:02:19
Speaker
Maybe it was online or something.
00:02:21
Speaker
But what ended up happening is I went into my annual sales competition with my solar company.
00:02:28
Speaker
I went as kind of the underdog.
00:02:31
Speaker
No one really expected me to go anywhere in it.
00:02:34
Speaker
And Parker ended up coaching me, helping me get my morning routines dialed in, helping me just change my mindset around a lot of things.
00:02:42
Speaker
And ended up going from the underdog to just taking the whole thing.
00:02:45
Speaker
And Parker helped me win the trip to Hawaii and all the prizes they were giving out.
00:02:51
Speaker
So thanks for helping me win that, Parker.
00:02:53
Speaker
Still owe you for that.
00:02:55
Speaker
Still owe him a trip to Hawaii, I guess.
00:02:59
Speaker
No, dude, it was inspiring watching you do it, man.
00:03:01
Speaker
I could tell you were committed.
00:03:03
Speaker
When someone's committed and you can feel it and you can tell and you can see it and you can hear it, you can do a lot with that.
00:03:11
Speaker
You don't have to do much.
00:03:12
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:03:13
Speaker
Just guide them a little and just kind of watch them go.
00:03:16
Speaker
And you get as much energy back from them as you give them.
00:03:20
Speaker
It's the funnest thing ever.
00:03:22
Speaker
If you're selective enough about your customers, if you're selective enough about who you work with and your clients, whether that's solar customers or any type of customer client, if you're selective enough, then you can select only the type of clients where you're
00:03:36
Speaker
you get just as much value from the coaching interaction, from the relationship, and they pay you.
00:03:41
Speaker
So it's like you learn things, you find things, and you get paid to do
The Journey into Coaching and Lifelong Benefits
00:03:46
Speaker
it.
00:03:46
Speaker
It's like the best in the world.
00:03:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:50
Speaker
And Parker actually has a podcast, you know, kind of around.
00:03:54
Speaker
Was it called Me Being Me?
00:03:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:58
Speaker
Okay.
00:03:58
Speaker
And I remember one of the episodes you talk about where you were kind of
00:04:03
Speaker
maybe struggling for money yourself or something, and you decided to not be as selective with your clients.
00:04:09
Speaker
And didn't you say in that podcast that just turned out to be a disaster, like your clients went nowhere?
00:04:16
Speaker
A disaster.
00:04:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:17
Speaker
Terrible.
00:04:18
Speaker
And they don't get results.
00:04:19
Speaker
Then they blame me.
00:04:20
Speaker
Then I feel that I'm pulling my hair out.
00:04:22
Speaker
Anxiety.
00:04:23
Speaker
Then I'm going into scarcity.
00:04:25
Speaker
And it's like this.
00:04:27
Speaker
It's the exact.
00:04:28
Speaker
See, that's the other side of that sword.
00:04:32
Speaker
If you're selective enough about the clients and you come from the powerful perspective with it, powerful place with it.
00:04:41
Speaker
then it's the most amazing thing ever.
00:04:43
Speaker
The only way to figure that out, I believe is to make so many mistakes on the other side and learn.
00:04:50
Speaker
I mean, that's really all it is.
00:04:51
Speaker
Like, yeah, I was in door to door sales six years.
00:04:56
Speaker
I had this transformation happen to me and it just changed my whole life and my whole world.
00:05:00
Speaker
And I just said, I'm going to help people do that.
00:05:02
Speaker
And I started coaching and I didn't know what I was doing.
00:05:05
Speaker
The skill sets around door-to-door sales are very different than the skill sets around transformation.
00:05:10
Speaker
So I didn't know what I was doing, but I just started doing it.
00:05:12
Speaker
I mean, how else are you going to do it?
00:05:14
Speaker
But just start doing it and start making mistakes and start learning and failing and failing forward.
00:05:18
Speaker
But yes, yeah, you don't want to make that mistake.
00:05:22
Speaker
That's a tough one.
00:05:22
Speaker
That's a tough lesson to learn for sure.
00:05:25
Speaker
Yeah, definitely.
00:05:27
Speaker
Oh, cool.
00:05:27
Speaker
So we're going to get into a couple of things here.
00:05:29
Speaker
Parker is going to help us out with our mindsets.
00:05:32
Speaker
But before we get into that, can you tell us real quick, Parker, why did you get into coaching or what was it that called you to coaching people?
00:05:42
Speaker
Dude, I am humbled and, uh,
00:05:48
Speaker
fascinated by what happens and what can happen when two human beings, two or more minds come together with a definite purpose and they're committed to the same thing, a clarity of intention and a clarity of commitment to the exact same thing and a shared vision.
00:06:04
Speaker
And they're both committed to it.
00:06:07
Speaker
the magic that happens where one plus one equals five and the clarity that can happen.
00:06:12
Speaker
I'm fascinated by it.
00:06:14
Speaker
I've been obsessed with and addicted to investing in myself coaching for years.
00:06:22
Speaker
And when two people come together in that spirit of love and no judgment, and we're going up after the same thing, uh, that is like the unleashing of like divine power.
00:06:36
Speaker
And, uh,
00:06:37
Speaker
So I stumbled onto it.
00:06:40
Speaker
I think I first fell in love with it when I went to Tony Robbins actually back in like 2011.
00:06:43
Speaker
I started going to all his things, Bait with Destiny.
00:06:47
Speaker
I went to that a bunch.
00:06:48
Speaker
I went to Business Mastery, which I mean, these things are so, you see things happen right there that just blow your mind and you can't be the same ever.
00:07:00
Speaker
Never again.
00:07:00
Speaker
And so I just saw this.
00:07:03
Speaker
I was like, I want to do that.
00:07:05
Speaker
I want to do that.
00:07:06
Speaker
And so I just invested everything I had and I just went all in.
00:07:10
Speaker
I even ended up selling my house.
00:07:12
Speaker
I don't know if I told you.
00:07:12
Speaker
I don't know.
00:07:14
Speaker
I just sold my house and paid a coach $50,000 because that was what, that was the skillset that was the missing piece for me that what I needed.
00:07:23
Speaker
And I
00:07:24
Speaker
I could either go work and, you know, figure out how to make it, or I could just be like, who cares about the house?
00:07:29
Speaker
I can go buy another house.
00:07:30
Speaker
Who cares about that?
00:07:31
Speaker
I can go buy another truck.
00:07:32
Speaker
It's not about the money.
00:07:33
Speaker
I don't care about the money.
00:07:34
Speaker
I'm all in.
00:07:35
Speaker
And, uh, when someone reaches that point and then they find the right partner person to partner up with, watch out, dude, fire, like fast explosion in results, like very, very quick and, uh, gets me every time.
00:07:51
Speaker
I just love it.
00:07:51
Speaker
So, wow.
00:07:53
Speaker
Yeah, talk about commitment.
00:07:55
Speaker
Did you feel like it paid off selling your house?
00:07:58
Speaker
Did you make a return on that pay off?
00:08:01
Speaker
Of course, not only have I made the return on it, but it's going to be paying off for the rest of my life.
00:08:06
Speaker
The things that happened inside of that year of mentorship with that particular coach, I'll never stop getting a return on it for the rest of my life.
00:08:18
Speaker
And in business as well, yeah.
Mindset in Sales: Inner Stance and Client Understanding
00:08:20
Speaker
Yeah, okay.
00:08:21
Speaker
Yeah, it's crazy, the commitment.
00:08:23
Speaker
And that's one thing I learned from Parker is getting rid of that scarcity mindset.
00:08:28
Speaker
It's something we all have.
00:08:29
Speaker
When I paid Parker to coach me, I didn't, I mean, I wasn't doing that well.
00:08:34
Speaker
I didn't have a lot of money either.
00:08:35
Speaker
So it was a pretty big commitment.
00:08:36
Speaker
I didn't have to sell my, well, I didn't have a house, but didn't have to sell cars or anything to do it.
00:08:42
Speaker
But he taught me that you got to have that commitment.
00:08:44
Speaker
You got to be get rid of that mindset around money.
00:08:48
Speaker
And so let's talk about that.
00:08:49
Speaker
How do you take a rep that's struggling?
00:08:52
Speaker
In this case, we're talking about solar cells.
00:08:56
Speaker
What do you think it was that took, and I know you've had a lot of experiences, but taking reps from struggling, not getting sales to turning it around and getting themselves?
00:09:05
Speaker
Do you think it's mindset or what is it that's holding reps back most of the time in your experience?
00:09:10
Speaker
Of course, it's always mindset.
00:09:12
Speaker
It's like 80% mindset.
00:09:14
Speaker
And of course, the other 20% is there are necessary required actions that you have to take.
00:09:18
Speaker
Period.
00:09:19
Speaker
But the problem is knowing what to do and doing what you know are two different things.
00:09:25
Speaker
And many times people know what to do.
00:09:26
Speaker
They're just not doing it.
00:09:27
Speaker
And the reason why they're not doing it is because they're not being who they need to be in order to do it.
00:09:32
Speaker
They're just really not mentally strong enough.
00:09:35
Speaker
And so it's called an inner stance.
00:09:37
Speaker
It's where they're coming from.
00:09:38
Speaker
It's who they're being.
00:09:39
Speaker
It's who you're being right now that's having you do everything you're doing and not do everything you're not doing and say everything you're saying and not say everything you're not saying and listen how you listen.
00:09:55
Speaker
The way you hear someone, the way you listen someone,
00:10:00
Speaker
has to do with who you're being, where you're coming from in your listening of them.
00:10:05
Speaker
And that's the most powerful thing in sales.
00:10:08
Speaker
If you can get completely over on their side and see it how they actually see it, you'd be doing and saying the same things they're doing and saying because their behavior is correlated with how they see it.
00:10:24
Speaker
So it's a willingness to get our own perspective out of the way, get over on their side, see it from there, and then all of a sudden sales become just simple.
00:10:35
Speaker
They have a problem that's costing them this much.
00:10:37
Speaker
You can solve it for this much.
00:10:38
Speaker
Do they want to solve it?
00:10:39
Speaker
Yes or no.
00:10:40
Speaker
Once they see it how you see it, they're going to buy it.
00:10:44
Speaker
But they're not going to see it how you see it until you see it how they see it.
00:10:46
Speaker
And that has to do with getting stuff out of the way.
00:10:50
Speaker
in your own perspective, in your own view.
00:10:54
Speaker
And so what I go to work on someone is to identify and distinguish what is it that keeping you from seeing it the way that they're seeing it?
00:11:02
Speaker
What is that?
00:11:03
Speaker
Get aware of it and then drop it.
00:11:06
Speaker
And as you drop it and you get it out of the way, sales become simple because it's just influenced human to human.
00:11:12
Speaker
You know, it's just caring more about their view than your own.
00:11:16
Speaker
So it's like love caring more about their.
00:11:18
Speaker
So sales is where love and self-respect intersect.
00:11:23
Speaker
Sales is the intersection of love and also self-honor and self-respect that, that point right there in the middle is what sales is.
00:11:32
Speaker
Yeah, true.
00:11:33
Speaker
And yeah, that was huge for me when I first got with Parker.
00:11:37
Speaker
I thought he was going to just share with me a bunch of sales secrets, sales techniques, and all these kinds of secrets.
00:11:43
Speaker
This is how you close someone.
00:11:44
Speaker
Say this.
00:11:45
Speaker
This is how you deal with an objection.
00:11:46
Speaker
Say that.
00:11:47
Speaker
I've got 50 DVDs.
00:11:48
Speaker
You can go through all this
Commitment and Overcoming Scarcity for Sales Success
00:11:50
Speaker
whole entire university and memorize every single one of these and drill these into your head for the next five years.
00:11:55
Speaker
Once you've got them all in there, you're going to be a master.
00:12:00
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:12:02
Speaker
one methodology and it's yeah totally different methodology totally different technology yeah yeah but what you taught me and what I think I realized is that there's a deeper problem that if you don't have the mindset part figured out that inner stance like you're talking about then no matter how many closes you know no matter how deep you have the cell stuff dialed in still gonna struggle because I knew
00:12:27
Speaker
I mean, I'd read all the Grant Cardone books.
00:12:29
Speaker
I was doing all Grant Cardone's thing, but I was like, why is this stuff not helping me?
00:12:33
Speaker
I know all these clothes, but I'm not, my self skills aren't improving.
00:12:38
Speaker
So I, once I got going with Parker and I started, uh, learning that inner stand stuff and you taught me the meditations and the visual.
00:12:47
Speaker
It's not like Grant Cardone is like the best sales trainer in the world right now.
00:12:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:54
Speaker
Um,
00:12:56
Speaker
I mean, he's like, it's like universally agreed.
00:12:58
Speaker
Like he's, he's hot right now.
00:13:01
Speaker
And it's not like the stuff that I would teach you is like any better than his kind of sound.
00:13:05
Speaker
Like you were saying it's just the, what we did is the stuff that Grant would do with you.
00:13:08
Speaker
If he was sitting down with you.
00:13:11
Speaker
It's not so much about adding information, it's about distinguishing what's in your way so that you can let it go and drop it.
00:13:20
Speaker
And then all of a sudden you realize, oh, I actually had a better close with that customer and I wasn't taught it from anybody.
00:13:28
Speaker
It just is what became present in the conversation because I was present with the person.
00:13:34
Speaker
With person.
00:13:36
Speaker
Can you hear that?
00:13:38
Speaker
I actually don't hear that.
00:13:40
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:41
Speaker
The kids Parker's got a little, what, 20 kids in there.
00:13:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:44
Speaker
I've got five little ones, five kids.
00:13:48
Speaker
Um, they're like, they're, they're having fun with some Lego, but no, it's, uh, when you're present with the person, you don't need anything.
00:13:57
Speaker
You don't need any of that stuff.
00:13:59
Speaker
If they're a good fit, then let's work together.
00:14:01
Speaker
If they're not a good fit, I probably won't even make them an offer.
00:14:04
Speaker
I'll just serve them and help them right now.
00:14:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:07
Speaker
And that's that.
00:14:08
Speaker
I mean,
00:14:09
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:10
Speaker
I remember one time when I was learning that, my mindset was that I could never close a deal of someone that I just met.
00:14:18
Speaker
I remember I was in my competition and the only way I was going to have a chance of winning is if I closed someone the first time I met them.
00:14:25
Speaker
And usually we'd go and set an appointment with them, go back a day or two later.
00:14:31
Speaker
But then I'm like, well, Parker's teaching me all this mindset stuff.
00:14:34
Speaker
What if it's just my mind holding me back that I can't close these people?
00:14:38
Speaker
And I ended up going out on the doors, knocking a door, and then sat with this guy and just was present.
00:14:45
Speaker
And just like Parker said, just put myself in customer shoes and just got it in my mind that it was possible.
00:14:53
Speaker
And I ended up closing this guy.
00:14:56
Speaker
Um, and he was pretty much what tipped me over the edge to win.
00:15:01
Speaker
But yeah, if I hadn't had that mindset and got that personal stance, like you're talking about, then, then no way would I have closed that guy.
00:15:09
Speaker
So yeah, I think that guy would have felt that you were there just to close him so you could win your trip.
00:15:16
Speaker
It wouldn't have worked.
00:15:18
Speaker
You did have the motivation to close him if it was what was right for him and to win your trip if it was what it was right for you.
00:15:24
Speaker
But the bigger purpose in that conversation, and the guy had to have felt it, is you were actually committed to solving that problem.
00:15:32
Speaker
He was probably overpaying for his electricity.
00:15:35
Speaker
He probably wanted solar, but he probably just needed someone to help him through the process who he trusted, who he felt right with.
00:15:42
Speaker
and who could close him and who would close him.
00:15:45
Speaker
And you did that, you created that.
00:15:48
Speaker
I don't even know what you said to close him.
00:15:50
Speaker
It wasn't about what you said, it was about who you were being with him.
00:15:53
Speaker
And of course you did say things.
00:15:55
Speaker
You probably can't even remember.
00:15:56
Speaker
I know in some of my best closes, people be like, how did you do that?
00:16:00
Speaker
I'm like, I don't remember.
00:16:01
Speaker
And a lot of times, it'd be like, how did you close that person?
00:16:07
Speaker
I'm like, what do you mean?
00:16:10
Speaker
They were easy, they wanted it.
00:16:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:14
Speaker
And they're like, it's just how you see them.
00:16:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:19
Speaker
You can create somebody the way that you want them to be without their permission.
00:16:26
Speaker
I remember I was having this really hard problem with my mother-in-law.
00:16:30
Speaker
And I went to that mentor, that coach, I'm like describing the problem.
00:16:33
Speaker
She's like this and she judges me and she hates me.
00:16:36
Speaker
And she got to that to that to that to that.
00:16:38
Speaker
I was like, just talking about all these problems I was having with her.
00:16:41
Speaker
And the main thing I remember I got from that conversation was he said, he was like, she doesn't need your permission to be great.
00:16:49
Speaker
Like, what do you mean?
00:16:50
Speaker
She's not great.
00:16:51
Speaker
She's not being great at all.
00:16:52
Speaker
It's like, does she need your permission to be great?
00:16:56
Speaker
And then I realized like about a month later, what he was meaning was,
00:17:00
Speaker
I can create that she's perfect and great regardless of whatever's happening over there.
00:17:07
Speaker
Like I'm coming from, she's great.
00:17:09
Speaker
Like a commitment, like I'm committed that she's great regardless of what's happening over there.
00:17:17
Speaker
So if she does something that most people might say is not great, let's say she yelled at me and said, you're an idiot or something like that.
00:17:24
Speaker
I could see it as if she's trying to help me.
00:17:26
Speaker
I mean,
00:17:27
Speaker
tell me, you know, yeah, like, let's look.
00:17:31
Speaker
Maybe I am.
00:17:33
Speaker
Maybe I am an idiot in that thing.
00:17:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:36
Speaker
And then I go, you know.
00:17:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:39
Speaker
So, but let's look, you know, let's look.
00:17:42
Speaker
Yes.
00:17:43
Speaker
I've never found it very effective to tell someone you're an idiot.
00:17:46
Speaker
It's usually the behavior that's idiotic, not the person that's an idiot.
00:17:51
Speaker
However, but I'm, and so that's just, that's how it is in sales.
00:17:57
Speaker
That's how it is in marriage.
00:17:58
Speaker
That's how it is.
00:17:58
Speaker
When I say across the board to double results, it doesn't have to be just solar sales, although it definitely will be in solar sales.
00:18:04
Speaker
But people typically have kids, they have spouses, they've got a body too.
00:18:11
Speaker
How you see your body affects how you'll behave with the way that you see it or the way that it occurs to us correlates with our behavior and our performance.
00:18:24
Speaker
That's the biggest thing, the way it shows up to us.
00:18:28
Speaker
And so if sugar shows up to us as really something we just can't let go of,
00:18:34
Speaker
or like being lazy and sleeping in and not working out and stuff like that, if that shows up to us as really attractive, really fun, really easy, a better way to live,
00:18:47
Speaker
then it's gonna be pretty hard to get that person to get up at 4.30 and go do their workout.
00:18:52
Speaker
But if they genuinely saw their workout as, I love pain, my body loves discipline and my body loves the burn of that.
00:19:00
Speaker
I love that.
00:19:01
Speaker
If they genuinely saw it like that, you wouldn't have to set their alarm.
00:19:04
Speaker
You wouldn't have to pour water on them to get them out of bed.
00:19:07
Speaker
They would pop out of bed because the way it occurs to them correlates or is in a dance with our performance, their performance.
00:19:18
Speaker
And that's the access to higher performance is our perspective, our view.
00:19:26
Speaker
So then how the question becomes, how do we change how it occurs to us to make it powerful?
00:19:30
Speaker
And the key is language.
00:19:31
Speaker
But anyway, we can get into that later.
00:19:34
Speaker
Yeah, that's huge.
00:19:35
Speaker
And I remember one of the things you had me do is, like I said before, I thought it would be just focused on cells, but you had me focusing on the health portion of it.
00:19:44
Speaker
You had me do this whole point tracking system where I was tracking if I was exercising, if I was doing my morning routines, if I was meditating.
00:19:53
Speaker
When somebody, when someone takes the four fabric, you know, the four threads that make up the fabric of our lives and they weave them together powerfully.
00:20:03
Speaker
So they have a powerful relationship with each other.
00:20:06
Speaker
They raise each other by, by raising together.
00:20:09
Speaker
It, they, they all raise when you pull one up, they all lift up if they're woven together powerfully.
00:20:17
Speaker
And so a lot of times they're not there in our mind.
00:20:20
Speaker
They're at, they're in a competition with each other.
00:20:23
Speaker
If I get this, then I lose this.
00:20:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:25
Speaker
And so it's a matter of shifting all those things to where they're aligned powerfully together.
00:20:30
Speaker
And then boom, they all raise up together and it's easier to go up together.
00:20:34
Speaker
You mix the spiritual component in because you realize, oh, the universe actually wants me to make twice as much money.
00:20:43
Speaker
It's not working against me.
00:20:45
Speaker
It's not an uphill climb.
00:20:47
Speaker
You mean to tell me it's a downhill sprint?
00:20:53
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:20:55
Speaker
When it occurs as we're going to run a race and I get to run downhill, how, I mean...
00:21:02
Speaker
How, how, uh, how much more likely am I to be excited to, to, to run that race and play that game?
00:21:08
Speaker
Cause I already know I won.
00:21:09
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:11
Speaker
Um, it's not about me, but like you, same thing.
00:21:14
Speaker
Like, you know, it's so fun to go into a sales conversation when you already know you got it.
00:21:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:19
Speaker
It's so fun to challenge your uncle to play, um, halo when you already know you're going to
00:21:27
Speaker
you already know you're going to annihilate him.
00:21:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:32
Speaker
And the opposite is also true.
00:21:35
Speaker
Because I can tell you from experience, it is not fun at all to play Halo with my nephew.
00:21:39
Speaker
He'll be
Holistic Coaching Approach and Impact of Mindsets
00:21:40
Speaker
like, Parker, do you want to play Halo?
00:21:44
Speaker
Yeah, so you can kill me in five seconds?
00:21:46
Speaker
No, it doesn't sound fun at all.
00:21:48
Speaker
So if we don't want to play a game, we know we're going to lose.
00:21:50
Speaker
Yeah, but the way whether or not you're going to lose it or when it happened in the commitment way before the game was ever played.
00:21:58
Speaker
And so you kind of deep inside you kind of know you're going to lose or win.
00:22:01
Speaker
Do you know your commitment to feel it?
00:22:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:07
Speaker
For sure.
00:22:07
Speaker
So Parker, let's kind of know, I know we don't have a ton of time here.
00:22:11
Speaker
Let's kind of get into real quick.
00:22:13
Speaker
Some of the scarcity mindsets that people have around sales.
00:22:17
Speaker
I know we were just talking before we hit record.
00:22:20
Speaker
Um, but in your experience, what are some of these scarcity mindsets?
00:22:24
Speaker
What's typically holding a sales person back?
00:22:29
Speaker
Um, yeah,
00:22:33
Speaker
Well, are you talking about the three that we had talked about?
00:22:35
Speaker
There's the scarcity mindset around that so many people have.
00:22:39
Speaker
It's like the scarcity mindset around, what was it?
00:22:41
Speaker
First one, education.
00:22:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:46
Speaker
Do you want to, I mean, do you want to share a little more about your, yeah, I get to see it.
00:22:54
Speaker
I mean, I was the same way I was brought.
00:22:56
Speaker
I was born and raised and then we were taught, go to college and yeah,
00:23:00
Speaker
get a safe degree so you can get a safe nine to five job and get a 401k and you know, just live that life.
00:23:08
Speaker
So you can pay your bills for your whole life.
00:23:10
Speaker
You'll be able to pay your bills for your whole life.
00:23:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:14
Speaker
I'm sure there's been many times.
00:23:15
Speaker
That's one we're talking about.
00:23:17
Speaker
I mean, yeah, especially growing up in Utah and, you know, places we grew up, my parents, I'm sure your parents the same.
00:23:25
Speaker
They push super hard the education, got to go to school, got to get the degree.
00:23:30
Speaker
And I'm out here doing California, doing the sales thing, trying to build up businesses, stuff like that.
00:23:37
Speaker
And yeah, it's scary, but I think it's a huge thing that can hold people back too.
00:23:43
Speaker
I've been out here almost three years now in California and I'm
00:23:50
Speaker
Yeah, not focusing on that.
00:23:51
Speaker
So trust me, I've been in the doghouse with my mom many times.
00:23:55
Speaker
If she listens to this, she's probably going to be mad at me for talking about it.
00:23:59
Speaker
She's going to say, get back to school.
00:24:01
Speaker
Don't be trying to tell people to drop out of school and that.
00:24:05
Speaker
But yeah, when we're focusing on that, I think what we're talking about is that hold sells people back if all they're thinking about is
00:24:15
Speaker
they need to go back to school and things like that.
00:24:17
Speaker
I think it's putting their mind in two different places.
00:24:20
Speaker
Is that what you've seen with salespeople too?
00:24:23
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it's just a, there's just a certain percentage of people who, what they are designed to do, what they want to do, isn't, it's not, it doesn't require that kind of education.
00:24:35
Speaker
It's a different education.
00:24:37
Speaker
And it's more that entrepreneurial type person.
00:24:40
Speaker
And if someone has that bug and then they don't follow it, it's just going to keep itching and itching their whole life until they finally eventually regret having wasted a bunch of time.
00:24:49
Speaker
They're just going to go all in on their business, grow something, their own thing.
00:24:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:59
Speaker
I think it's to each their own.
00:25:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:03
Speaker
I dropped out.
00:25:04
Speaker
I dropped out of college and got all kinds of flack in my family and.
00:25:11
Speaker
You know, and then there's some times where they're like, see Parker, we told you so we told you.
00:25:16
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:19
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, you did.
00:25:21
Speaker
It's like, what are you going to do?
00:25:24
Speaker
I know.
00:25:26
Speaker
Just got to keep going.
00:25:27
Speaker
But look at you.
00:25:28
Speaker
Now you're loaded.
00:25:29
Speaker
Now you're living the high life.
00:25:30
Speaker
Got your own piano.
00:25:33
Speaker
Super successful, right?
00:25:36
Speaker
Oh, dude, you know I'm loaded if I have my own piano.
00:25:39
Speaker
Dude, I would not call myself loaded, but I do have a business.
00:25:45
Speaker
Yeah, that's very cool.
00:25:47
Speaker
That's like the gift I got for myself like 10 years ago.
00:25:50
Speaker
That was back when I had more money than cents.
00:25:55
Speaker
Yeah, if you want to hear this guy jam out on the piano and all that, you need to follow him on his podcast because he'll teach you some skills.
00:26:02
Speaker
Definitely a good thing to go and do.
00:26:05
Speaker
But cool, so the education's one thing.
00:26:08
Speaker
The other thing that we were talking about and I think is a huge one is just being afraid to spend the money.
00:26:13
Speaker
You talked about the Tony Robbins stuff.
00:26:15
Speaker
You talked about selling your house and all that to do it.
00:26:20
Speaker
So what is it that happens when people go from not being able to forward something to putting everything on the line to being able to do these things?
00:26:29
Speaker
What is it that happens in the mind and why is that important, do you think, that you've seen?
00:26:36
Speaker
They uncover the thing that they know they have to do.
00:26:42
Speaker
they go all in and they reach a point where they say, all right, who I've been up until now has been great.
00:26:50
Speaker
And yet I'm willing to let that version of me die.
00:26:53
Speaker
I'm willing to change that.
00:26:55
Speaker
whatever I have to change.
00:26:57
Speaker
I'm willing to be whoever I need to be.
00:26:59
Speaker
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to have that outcome happen.
00:27:02
Speaker
That's a must.
00:27:03
Speaker
I'm just going to decide that.
00:27:04
Speaker
And here I go.
00:27:05
Speaker
That's just, that's just happening.
00:27:07
Speaker
It's nothing more intense.
00:27:09
Speaker
It doesn't have to be any more intense than when you're at the, you're at the restaurant, you got your menu and they say, what can I get for you, sir?
00:27:18
Speaker
And you're like, Hmm, you're looking across the thing.
00:27:23
Speaker
You're like looking across, you're like,
00:27:26
Speaker
right there that's what I'm gonna have and then it's when it's in your head it doesn't do anything until you say it can you say all right yes I'm gonna go with that one and she goes okay do you want this with it and you're like no okay do you want it like this like yes okay she writes it down and it's done the decisions done you close the thing and you're it you know
00:27:48
Speaker
done you made a decision and that's what you're doing and you spoke it and you are now it's happening like it's literally happening in the world we do it every day we make decisions and choices about how we're going to have it
00:28:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:06
Speaker
And what's super cool, I mean, when I started doing the coaching with you, when we first started having the conversations, Parker is really good at making people just want it really bad and making sure they're super committed
Leveraging Social Media and Technology for Business Growth
00:28:20
Speaker
before you even consider coaching them, I think.
00:28:24
Speaker
And I remember when I was first talking to you, you're like, dude, I don't think you have what it takes.
00:28:30
Speaker
I don't think you're going to be committed enough to do this.
00:28:33
Speaker
And I was like, what?
00:28:34
Speaker
What are you talking about?
00:28:35
Speaker
I'm going to be super committed.
00:28:37
Speaker
And you're like, no, I don't think you are.
00:28:40
Speaker
Because you could see that I was hesitant to maybe spend the money or maybe wasn't going to be as committed as I needed to be.
00:28:48
Speaker
So you were making it really hard for me to even be considered for you to be my coach.
00:28:55
Speaker
So that's something I think you're really good at.
00:28:57
Speaker
And like you said, if you take a client that's not as committed, then they're not going to get the results.
00:29:02
Speaker
I'm sure half is what you do is just getting them to that level.
00:29:05
Speaker
That's 80% of it.
00:29:06
Speaker
Bro, that's 80% of it.
00:29:08
Speaker
Listen to this, dude.
00:29:09
Speaker
I was like, literally I was selling and I was like in the top 20%.
00:29:12
Speaker
Okay.
00:29:13
Speaker
Like I would sell like a hundred and like a hundred alarms a summer.
00:29:17
Speaker
Not great.
00:29:19
Speaker
I was reading all the sales books.
00:29:20
Speaker
I was reading all the grand cards.
00:29:21
Speaker
I was reading everything, but I just couldn't get past that point.
00:29:23
Speaker
And then I had this thing happen where I literally was like faced a crossroad where I'm like, I'm either going to get, I'm so depressed.
00:29:30
Speaker
I hate what I'm doing.
00:29:32
Speaker
I just, it sucks.
00:29:34
Speaker
Every year my energy goes down.
00:29:36
Speaker
I'm doing it more and more for the money.
00:29:37
Speaker
I'm feeling more and more broke.
00:29:39
Speaker
I'm just struggling.
00:29:40
Speaker
And I was like,
00:29:43
Speaker
I'm either going to quit or I'm going to go all in.
00:29:45
Speaker
And if I go all in, I know I'm not with the right guys.
00:29:47
Speaker
I knew I need to be with those guys right there.
00:29:49
Speaker
But those guys right there weren't trying to recruit me.
00:29:52
Speaker
They weren't the guys.
00:29:53
Speaker
They were just living in full integrity and authenticity of their message, their stance so well.
00:29:59
Speaker
They were attracting really high quality dudes.
00:30:01
Speaker
And they were like, we're not paying you a signing bonus.
00:30:03
Speaker
These guys paid me 50 grand to go sell with their team.
00:30:07
Speaker
And I just took it because I was wanting the comfort.
00:30:10
Speaker
Scarcity mindset.
00:30:10
Speaker
I was depressed.
00:30:12
Speaker
I hated everything about it.
00:30:14
Speaker
I gave him 50 grand back.
00:30:17
Speaker
And switched over to these guys for free because it was not about money.
00:30:21
Speaker
It was not about comfort.
00:30:22
Speaker
It was about the higher purpose, the version of me I wanted to be and that I was committed to being.
00:30:27
Speaker
I had a meeting with the dude.
00:30:28
Speaker
I got clear.
00:30:29
Speaker
I knew that's, I'm committed.
00:30:30
Speaker
I'm going to learn from you.
00:30:31
Speaker
I'm going to sell the way you sell.
00:30:32
Speaker
I don't want to sell the way I've been trying to sell where you manipulate them into doing what you want.
00:30:36
Speaker
I want to sell the way you sell.
00:30:38
Speaker
Presence.
00:30:40
Speaker
Listening.
00:30:42
Speaker
Simple.
00:30:44
Speaker
Just, I mean, it's like so simple to sell when you're selling like that.
00:30:49
Speaker
It's not even selling, it's more just assisting them to buy whatever they'd like to buy.
00:30:54
Speaker
If they really do want to buy a solution to their problem, they might not.
00:30:59
Speaker
It depends.
00:30:59
Speaker
What is the exact problem?
00:31:01
Speaker
Let's really listen like a real doctor listens, like a real professional listens, you know?
00:31:09
Speaker
A doctor, he observes what's going on, but sometimes he's got to have you take your shirt off so he can just see the skin.
00:31:19
Speaker
Sometimes he goes beneath the skin.
00:31:20
Speaker
He's diagnosing like an expert to see exactly what we're dealing with here.
00:31:26
Speaker
And that's how this guy sold.
00:31:28
Speaker
He wasn't selling by talking.
00:31:31
Speaker
I was selling myself by talking and he was listening.
00:31:35
Speaker
And I'm like, okay, you're a Jedi.
00:31:36
Speaker
There's a few Jedis in the world.
00:31:38
Speaker
You're a Jedi and I'm going to learn from you no matter what it takes.
00:31:42
Speaker
And he's like, Parker, I don't think you're committed enough because you'd have to give back the 50 grand before you come over here with us.
00:31:48
Speaker
And I'm like, I know.
00:31:49
Speaker
And he's like, do you have it?
00:31:50
Speaker
And I'm like, no, I didn't even have it.
00:31:52
Speaker
I didn't have it.
00:31:53
Speaker
So he's like, so...
00:31:55
Speaker
Maybe we'll see you next year.
00:31:56
Speaker
I mean, we'll see.
00:31:57
Speaker
I mean, just do your best, dude.
00:31:59
Speaker
We'll see you later.
00:32:00
Speaker
And he left.
00:32:01
Speaker
And I'm like, no, I know what I want.
00:32:03
Speaker
And I had to sell my truck.
00:32:04
Speaker
I had to sell my bike.
00:32:06
Speaker
And I was always, who cares about the truck?
00:32:10
Speaker
Who cares about the bike?
00:32:11
Speaker
I'll just buy another one.
00:32:13
Speaker
And I did, dude.
00:32:14
Speaker
I went and I tripled, I tripled my sales.
00:32:16
Speaker
Just shy of tripled my sales that year.
00:32:18
Speaker
Quadrupled my income.
00:32:19
Speaker
It wasn't even about the money.
00:32:20
Speaker
I had all these guys wanting to come with me.
00:32:23
Speaker
And, uh, and they were all happy.
00:32:26
Speaker
That's the coolest thing at the end.
00:32:27
Speaker
We were all just so happy, but it wasn't about the money.
00:32:30
Speaker
We went and donated a bunch of our time and gave a bunch of our money.
00:32:35
Speaker
So hold on just one second here.
00:32:38
Speaker
I have a little visitor here.
00:32:40
Speaker
You're good.
00:32:55
Speaker
Keep control of those little rascals there.
00:32:58
Speaker
Do you want a two-year-old?
00:33:00
Speaker
I mean, maybe in a couple of years, but.
00:33:04
Speaker
Dude, it was a shift, a complete shift for me.
00:33:06
Speaker
Everything got easier.
00:33:08
Speaker
I didn't learn any more sales tactics, but people just wanted to buy.
00:33:13
Speaker
I believed in myself.
00:33:14
Speaker
I believed in what I was doing because I sacrificed and I put money out of my number one priority.
00:33:21
Speaker
and put a higher purpose in the priority.
00:33:23
Speaker
Got aligned with it, with money.
00:33:26
Speaker
I got financially in alignment with it.
00:33:29
Speaker
And I was like almost overnight, bro, I'm not kidding you, almost overnight, I was a different person.
00:33:34
Speaker
I had shifted to a different stance.
00:33:37
Speaker
I was vibrating different.
00:33:38
Speaker
I could feel it.
00:33:40
Speaker
I could sense it.
00:33:41
Speaker
And I just told my story and people wanted to join me.
00:33:44
Speaker
It was the coolest thing.
00:33:46
Speaker
And I wouldn't have ever known about that being even possible had I not experienced it.
00:33:52
Speaker
It was like I'd stumbled on it by accident and I was like, what was that?
00:33:56
Speaker
I looked over that year and it was like everything...
00:33:59
Speaker
Everything changed.
00:33:59
Speaker
And I just said, I'm going to help people with that right there.
00:34:03
Speaker
And yeah, of course, if I figured if I could get them just to the point of getting all in like I was, I can just get them there.
00:34:08
Speaker
I've already won 80% of the games.
00:34:10
Speaker
One, the other 20% is just the mechanics.
00:34:13
Speaker
They probably already had the mechanics.
00:34:15
Speaker
I don't have to do hardly anything with that.
00:34:17
Speaker
It's just getting them to there.
00:34:19
Speaker
And so...
00:34:21
Speaker
getting them to that all in state when they move into alignment.
00:34:24
Speaker
So when you pay a coach or you invest in yourself through somebody, as long as they're a clear conduit and a pure conduit for that, you're using them to invest in yourself, to move yourself into alignment with, I don't know, the universal laws.
00:34:42
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:43
Speaker
I do know the universal laws of money value.
00:34:47
Speaker
And when you do that and you're in sales,
00:34:50
Speaker
You're basically becoming what you're at.
00:34:53
Speaker
You're doing the thing that you're asking these other people to do.
00:34:56
Speaker
Make a decision today to solve this problem
Conclusion: The Power of Mindset in Sales and Life
00:35:01
Speaker
and get a result that's worth five times what you're going to invest with it.
00:35:05
Speaker
You know, invest for it.
00:35:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:07
Speaker
It's going to be a win-win.
00:35:08
Speaker
If it ain't going to be a huge win-win, we're done right now.
00:35:11
Speaker
No deal.
00:35:13
Speaker
That's complete abundance mindset.
00:35:14
Speaker
And that's what they're buying.
00:35:16
Speaker
They're buying who you're being.
00:35:17
Speaker
They're paying you for who you're being.
00:35:19
Speaker
So if you have a job where people are paying you in sales or leadership, they're paying you for who you're being.
00:35:26
Speaker
Are you aware of who you're being?
00:35:28
Speaker
Who are you being?
00:35:29
Speaker
You know, who are you committed to being?
00:35:32
Speaker
And that's going to happen in declaration, like your word.
00:35:35
Speaker
And then it's going to happen in with integrity.
00:35:37
Speaker
Those two things.
00:35:39
Speaker
You say it, say who you're going to be, say what you're going to do and then follow through.
00:35:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:46
Speaker
Yeah, I think we can go on and on about that.
00:35:47
Speaker
But yeah, it's true.
00:35:48
Speaker
I mean, I was afraid to invest myself in so many reps that are struggling, even those that maybe aren't struggling.
00:35:55
Speaker
They're afraid to, I think, invest in themselves to go to get a coach, to go to courses.
00:36:01
Speaker
And these are just things that can really be a game changer and bring about a new level of commitment, especially when it is that type of commitment where you have to sell a car, where you have to put it all out on the line, because that's like burning the bridges.
00:36:14
Speaker
And there's no going back from that.
00:36:15
Speaker
So it's like you got to make it work or that's just money down the drain.
00:36:21
Speaker
Just, yeah, just not good stuff going on.
00:36:28
Speaker
So cool.
00:36:28
Speaker
I know we're about out of time here, Parker.
00:36:32
Speaker
But last thing I wanted to kind of hear from you is just about the importance of like social media.
00:36:37
Speaker
And that's especially what we're doing with this podcast is just trying to bring about the new generation of solar salespeople.
00:36:44
Speaker
They can close, they can get leads online, they can get leads through funnels, and they know all these different ways of lead generation, they know how to close, they know how to master the mindset piece of it.
00:36:56
Speaker
So how is social media and why is it important?
00:36:59
Speaker
I know it's been huge in your business, but what do you teach people of that and why is that important for people you work with?
00:37:09
Speaker
Hey mom.
00:37:11
Speaker
Like if it's not obvious by now, it's obvious by now.
00:37:14
Speaker
Stop being a content consumer.
00:37:17
Speaker
Look, there's content consumers and there's content creators.
00:37:24
Speaker
And the money flows in a certain direction.
00:37:30
Speaker
It flows towards the content creators.
00:37:33
Speaker
And we're all a little bit addicted to consuming certain things.
00:37:36
Speaker
Fine.
00:37:37
Speaker
Be aware of that.
00:37:39
Speaker
You want to probably limit that as much as possible and maximize the creation side, like what you're doing right now, your podcast.
00:37:47
Speaker
Take your social media serious.
00:37:50
Speaker
Choose your platforms.
00:37:51
Speaker
Get a clear message.
00:37:53
Speaker
Get a clear offer.
00:37:54
Speaker
Get a clear, like...
00:37:56
Speaker
front end, you know, landing page to put in your bio and have it be uniform across all the platforms and start creating content just a little bit every day across all of them and commit, like go all in and do that.
00:38:07
Speaker
They're not doing that.
00:38:08
Speaker
That's what people aren't doing.
00:38:09
Speaker
They're afraid to do it or they're just reluctant or they're procrastinating taking the plunge and they think they're going to be like successful as in business or branding without that.
00:38:19
Speaker
And they're not, you're not going to be successful without that.
00:38:22
Speaker
I mean, you're stupid.
00:38:23
Speaker
You're going to keep, well, you could, I suppose, but why?
00:38:26
Speaker
Why you're going to work way harder, way longer.
00:38:30
Speaker
You're going to be like, yeah, like do you want to keep, how long do you want to keep knocking doors or do you want to take this powerful technology beyond the cutting edge of it, use it and let it work for you because it will for free.
00:38:41
Speaker
That's if you don't even put ads behind it, which you should probably learn how to convert, you know, advertising dollars into profit as well, you know, but yeah.
00:38:50
Speaker
Um,
00:38:53
Speaker
But I mean, why not?
00:38:54
Speaker
Why not capitalize?
00:38:55
Speaker
I mean, we live in the funnest age ever.
00:38:57
Speaker
Just commit and go all in and learn the marketing and learn how to do the social media.
00:39:03
Speaker
It's like, I mean, that seems like obvious.
00:39:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:09
Speaker
And if you, that can be huge in solar.
00:39:11
Speaker
I know lots of guys that are getting more referrals through social media.
00:39:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:16
Speaker
They're getting way more customers calling them and it's just making way things, things way easier by posting and by, like you said, being that content creator.
00:39:26
Speaker
So it's putting you ahead.
00:39:27
Speaker
I think once you can learn to teach it to other people and be the authority, people are going to come to you instead of the other way around, instead of having to knock more doors, instead of having to,
00:39:37
Speaker
ask for more referrals.
00:39:38
Speaker
So I want to ask you about your social media.
00:39:40
Speaker
I mean, you have your podcast, you have stuff you're doing.
00:39:43
Speaker
Have you been seeing more business and a lot more upside because of it since you've been doing your social media?
00:39:53
Speaker
And I, dude, I have been like fascinated by it and a student of it for like six years now.
00:40:01
Speaker
I mean, I just started, I just started, I just started my coaching practice just out of the blue, like back in 2012.
00:40:07
Speaker
I just said, all right, I'll just be a coach and I'll just do this.
00:40:11
Speaker
And I like took a course and it was like 10 grand and it was like,
00:40:15
Speaker
I learned in that course that I know nothing about it, you know?
00:40:18
Speaker
And so I just took another one and another, I just like buy all these, all these courses.
00:40:24
Speaker
And, uh, it's, I mean, it,
00:40:29
Speaker
when my business hasn't worked powerfully, it's been because I don't have a powerful lead, uh, source.
00:40:36
Speaker
You know, I don't have a powerful funnel working for me when it has worked really well.
00:40:40
Speaker
It's, that's a big, that's a big reason why, um, of course you got to get the results for the clients.
00:40:45
Speaker
You get the results for the clients.
00:40:46
Speaker
You pretty much like if your clients and your customers are happy, really, really happy and you can just capture those stories and, and, and spread that story and that message around and help other people get through the decision based on what,
00:41:00
Speaker
your happy clients are, are doing, there's your funnel, dude.
00:41:04
Speaker
It's not that hard, you know?
00:41:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:07
Speaker
There's your funnel.
00:41:08
Speaker
I guess you could say it's a funnel, but you got to capture their, you want to have a way to capture their email and, and start dripping that, that content to them.
00:41:15
Speaker
But if you could do it in it, yeah.
00:41:17
Speaker
I mean, what's your question exactly?
00:41:20
Speaker
Like, how has it helped your business?
00:41:22
Speaker
When, since you started doing it?
00:41:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:25
Speaker
Have you seen the upside?
00:41:26
Speaker
Haven't seen it?
00:41:27
Speaker
Do you have any more leads?
00:41:28
Speaker
Any more referrals?
00:41:31
Speaker
I mean, in coaching, that's got to be huge, right?
00:41:33
Speaker
My funnel is like people will see me wherever they see me.
00:41:37
Speaker
They'll go to the social media.
00:41:38
Speaker
They'll go to the main web page, the website, which is like an outcome-based, result-based name, which is like yours.
00:41:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:47
Speaker
Great name.
00:41:49
Speaker
They'll capture their email.
00:41:50
Speaker
They'll go through a sequence.
00:41:51
Speaker
They'll go through a webinar, and then they'll come, and they'll end up in a conversation with me.
00:41:56
Speaker
And that'll be like a high ticket offer, potentially for a high ticket offer right on that first one.
00:42:05
Speaker
And that's what works for me.
00:42:06
Speaker
That's the way I like it.
00:42:07
Speaker
And yeah, it's fun.
00:42:09
Speaker
It's changed my life.
00:42:11
Speaker
I love it.
00:42:12
Speaker
I'll do it for the rest of my life.
00:42:13
Speaker
I'll just keep trying to make it better and better and better.
00:42:17
Speaker
and more and more leveraged and more and more valuable.
00:42:19
Speaker
And it's like a fun thing to build.
00:42:21
Speaker
I feel like it's like click funnels and stuff.
00:42:23
Speaker
It's like giving you a big old set of Legos and saying here, build whatever you want.
00:42:27
Speaker
So you can build this one thing and you're like, that's pretty cool.
00:42:30
Speaker
What if we added this whole thing, like this whole apparatus over here?
00:42:34
Speaker
And that's, it's kind of like building Lego, building with Legos, you know?
00:42:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:39
Speaker
And then it pays you because you, uh, are getting customers through that process more,
00:42:47
Speaker
you know, more better, basically.
00:42:51
Speaker
More people through it, pre-frame more powerfully.
00:42:54
Speaker
You've dealt with their objections before they've talked to you better and better so that when you get on the phone with them, you're just having to hit the ball just not very far.
00:43:04
Speaker
That's the goal.
00:43:06
Speaker
Yeah, and that's been huge, especially in the solar game.
00:43:10
Speaker
I realized that it can be a game changer just launching a funnel and then, like you said, having your webinar, having all these pre-fame things, as they go through that, they're going to come to you way more solid.
00:43:21
Speaker
It's been a game changer because I was just knocking doors for years and years, but when I figured this out, and Parker helped me figure it out, just doing the consistent posting, still working on that, but...
00:43:34
Speaker
I'll need to improve on that.
00:43:36
Speaker
But yeah, just doing the consistent posting, launching the funnel, using this technology.
00:43:40
Speaker
And I think that's a lot of things that holds people back is procrastinating on the technology.
00:43:45
Speaker
But as I realized I needed to start doing that and just get going on something, I had quick funnels for probably six months before I even tried building a funnel with it.
00:43:57
Speaker
So yeah, it's like just having that technology and then just taking the action to move forward with it and then figuring things out as you go.
00:44:04
Speaker
And I think that's been huge for both of us.
00:44:08
Speaker
There's a, there's the losers that are focused on perfecting their plans.
00:44:14
Speaker
And then there's the winners that are just focused on taking imperfect action.
00:44:20
Speaker
True.
00:44:21
Speaker
Yes.
00:44:22
Speaker
That's been huge.
00:44:23
Speaker
Well, cool, Parker.
00:44:24
Speaker
I know, uh,
00:44:26
Speaker
I know we're about out of time here.
00:44:28
Speaker
I know you got kids calling your name and everything.
00:44:30
Speaker
So we'll go ahead and wrap this up.
00:44:33
Speaker
But yeah, one piece of parting advice that you'd have for the solar industry, what would it be?
00:44:48
Speaker
There are, I mean, there are two types of solar reps.
00:44:56
Speaker
There are, and really all, all solar reps, just like all people are creators.
00:45:03
Speaker
We're all creating everything.
00:45:07
Speaker
And there's really only two types of solar reps and two types of people, two types of sales reps, two types of business people, two types of solar reps, two types of people.
00:45:15
Speaker
There's the conscious, there's the ones that are creating it consciously.
00:45:19
Speaker
And there's the ones that are creating it unconsciously.
00:45:23
Speaker
And there's only two types of ways and things that they create.
00:45:26
Speaker
And that would be things that are powerful and things that are not powerful.
00:45:36
Speaker
That's awesome.
00:45:37
Speaker
So be the one that creates the powerful stuff.
00:45:40
Speaker
I like that.
00:45:42
Speaker
It's a lot easier to create the powerful stuff, you know, the powerful things.
00:45:48
Speaker
And when I say things, it's like your own perspective.
00:45:52
Speaker
It can be.
00:45:53
Speaker
qualified in that your own self, how you create other people.
00:45:58
Speaker
Um, like what does that sound weird to say?
00:46:00
Speaker
Create other people, but I can create you.
00:46:03
Speaker
I create you wherever I go.
00:46:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:06
Speaker
I create everybody, however, however they are.
00:46:09
Speaker
And so, um, it's a lot easier to create them powerfully when you're doing it consciously.
00:46:17
Speaker
See, I can tell you the truth right now.
00:46:18
Speaker
My wife, she loves sex.
00:46:23
Speaker
She really does.
00:46:25
Speaker
And she's the sweetest, most generous person and talented and amazing person in the world.
00:46:34
Speaker
I'm committed to that.
00:46:36
Speaker
That's where I'm coming from with my wife.
00:46:39
Speaker
There's no arguing about it.
00:46:40
Speaker
I'm just grateful that I get to be her husband because that's who she is for me.
00:46:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:46
Speaker
And just like a solar customer.
00:46:48
Speaker
Oh, I'm so grateful.
00:46:50
Speaker
I love talking to people who say it's important to, to, uh, to, to get with the times and to move forward with the, with the technology.
00:46:58
Speaker
I love that.
00:46:59
Speaker
Tell me more.
00:47:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:47:01
Speaker
You know, that kind of stuff.
00:47:03
Speaker
I love that.
00:47:04
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:47:06
Speaker
Cool.
00:47:07
Speaker
And so Parker, where can people find more about you, more out about you and tell them a little bit about your podcast and how they can connect with you on social media and all that?
00:47:17
Speaker
Parker Winder on social media, the podcast, I'm actually changing the name now to actually get even more like even tighter with, with the message and the niche.
00:47:26
Speaker
And that is twice as good in 90.
00:47:29
Speaker
That's what I do.
00:47:29
Speaker
We're going to help you go twice as good across the board in 90.
00:47:33
Speaker
So you can go twice as good in 90.com or just find me on social media.
00:47:38
Speaker
And then, you know, you can go through there.
00:47:40
Speaker
Go through the little funnel or whatever.
00:47:43
Speaker
What I would actually offer to anyone listening would be a clarity call.
00:47:47
Speaker
My advice would be get clear on what you're creating and create consciously what would empower you.
00:47:53
Speaker
And here's the gift and the promise that I'll make you like an invitation.
00:47:57
Speaker
And it would be just reach out to me and I'll give you 30 minutes where we'll allow you to experience what we're talking about and get you to see something that you're not currently seeing.
00:48:11
Speaker
about what's possible and where you could be just, just in a very short time, 90 days is so fast, you know?
00:48:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:48:17
Speaker
So,
00:48:18
Speaker
Awesome.
00:48:19
Speaker
Well, appreciate you being on the podcast.
00:48:21
Speaker
We're going to post in the notes, the show notes, how they can find more about you and about your podcast.
00:48:27
Speaker
So as always, Parker, Parker changed my life.
00:48:29
Speaker
He helped me double my sales.
00:48:31
Speaker
And not only that, he helped me in, I mean, my relationships, my mindsets, all the above.
00:48:38
Speaker
So I would definitely recommend connecting with Parker and he can help you with that.
00:48:43
Speaker
Um, but I think that will be a wrap for today.
00:48:45
Speaker
I know we could go on about 50 other topics and I know you have a lot of wisdom to share, but once you get back to your kids and I appreciate you being on the show, Parker.
00:48:55
Speaker
All right.
00:48:55
Speaker
Thanks for having me, man.
00:48:56
Speaker
It's a cool podcast, a cool, uh, cool thing that you're starting and, and it's going to help a lot of people and you're, you're going to do really well with it because they, they need it and they're realized or they're waking up and realizing that they need it.
00:49:09
Speaker
And, uh,
00:49:11
Speaker
So anyway, cool.
00:49:13
Speaker
Awesome.
00:49:13
Speaker
Appreciate it.
00:49:14
Speaker
Thanks, Parker.
00:49:15
Speaker
Peace.
00:49:15
Speaker
Wow.
00:49:16
Speaker
