Sales Training Bootcamp Teaches How To “Sell Naked!”
Sales Training does NOT have to be painful and intimidating. How would you like to use the telephone to book appointments at 85%? Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? That’s what I thought before I experienced Joe & Dawn Pici’s Sell Naked Sales Training Bootcamp!
This post has nothing to do with credit. I apologize in advance if you expect me to discuss credit.
I hope what I’m about to share with you adds value as I always try to do. I am excited to share with you some of what I discovered at a “Sell Naked” Sales Training Bootcamp in Orlando, Florida (see video and post below):
Here’s why YOU might just benefit from this information. Whether or not you think you’re in sales, you are…in SALES. Every single one of us is in sales. For the longest time, I didn’t believe it either.
Below, you will see how “behavior” styles affect job performance. You won’t believe the “aha” moment I experienced. What do “Behavior Styles”” have to do with sales and/or job performance?

HOW TO BREAK THROUGH FEAR OF TELEPHONE IN SALES?
Clearly, I am in sales. I help people avoid foreclosure in Sarasota and Orlando (FL). When people know, like & trust me, new business comes easily.
No surprise, right? When I actually HELP people, they gladly refer me to their friends, colleagues & family.
So let me ask you: What happens when you become a trusted adviser?
You no longer are just a SALES person; rather, you become a trusted adviser.
How would you like to become a trusted adviser with MANY people who look forward to hearing from you…who want your help.
1. Secret-1: Focus on HELPING people, not on selling them. Find out where their “pain” is and give them a “payne reliever” …no pun intended
2. Secret-2: No matter how trusted you and I are, people will buy when they need your solution. For all the people who don’t need your solution right now, create a “follow-up email” sequence, providing value on a regular basis without intruding.
3. Secret-3: How do you provide VALUE? Let me ask you a question. When your friends, family or strangers ask you what you do, what do you say?
Do you say, “I’m in real estate (or) customer service (or) sales (or) something else NOT value driven”? Whatever you do for a living, when you get a chance to give a VALUE statement, give it. For example, I say, “I help people improve their credit!”
That’s a VALUE statement. Before Joe & Dawn Pici’s boot camp, I didn’t realize I wasn’t presenting VALUE when I talked with people face to face or on the phone. Example:
- I’m in real estate instead of saying, “I help people AVOID foreclosure.”
- or I’m in credit repair instead of saying, “I help people IMPROVE their credit.”
- or I’m in Internet Marketing instead of saying, “I help business owners INCREASE sales!”
Let me show you how this works to your (and the stranger’s) benefit. A VALUE statement naturally prompts a person (even one who doesn’t need what you have) to ask you, “Oh really… and how do you do that?”
Here’s where I qualify the person with an important “BRIDGE” question BEFORE I respond: “Do you know someone who might need to avoid foreclosure?”
You see what’s happening here? I find out WHY the person is asking me how I do what I do.
Yesterday, the perfect example took place. At a restaurant, a friend introduced me to a guy who asked me what I do. I told him, “I help people AVOID foreclosure.”
Guess what he asked me? You’re right; he asked me how I do it.
Yes, I responded with the following bridge question: ““By chance, do you know someone who might need to avoid foreclosure?”
To which he responded, “Actually, I do…quite a few. I too help people avoid foreclosure. I want to talk with you more. When can we sit down?”
A friend made an introduction and NEVER prepped me for the introduction. John, the attorney, was in the same restaurant for lunch. No business with John was planned. It JUST happened. Isn’t that a big part of HELPING others? It’s not planned.
Without Joe & Dawn’s training, I can assure you I would have screwed it up.
When the 3 days ended, I gladly gave Joe & Dawn a testimonial, citing just a few powerful “takeaways”:
- Develop a value statement when people ask you what you do. What you say always should evoke the other person or group to ask “How do you do that?” For example: “I help people avoid foreclosure!” or “I help people improve their credit so they can grab the keys to their dream home!”
- Do NOT try to sell on the phone. Use the phone to book appointments. That’s all. When calling people for the first time, make a value proposition: “If I could help you increase sales (or whatever it is you know your prospect needs), would that be worth 15 minutes of your time?” Naturally, the person on the phone wants to say, “How do you do that?” To which you would respond, “Would you like to improve sales?” You want to get the prospect to show curiosity about HOW you do what you claim to be able to do.
- Do understand behavior styles. I never realize the 4 different behavior styles require a unique approach. Go ahead, try to sell (consult) to all 4 behavior styles the same way and you will face REJECTION and not know why. Now I know why I have faced much sales rejection before.
Warning: I’m just a little excited in this video. I experienced the results and can’t wait to INCREASE sales!

Before I go, I want to share one huge (and totally unexpected) benefit of attending Joe & Dawn Pici’s Sell Naked Bootcamp. People who go to bootcamps usually are serious business people investing in their business/personal success. Guess what happens when VALUE statements mix in with getting to know one another? Do you think you’ll get a FEEL for other people after spending 24+ hours of CLASS time together + lunch and dinner time together + AFTER dinner time together? Something very profitable begins to happen, as it did happen for me and others during those 3 days.
Suddenly, other attendees and I began talking about doing business with each other! That was NOT the intent. The intent was to acquire or refine the sales “process.” BUT…when people know, like & trust people, they are more likely to do business together. Pretty cool, huh?
Sales Training does NOT have to be painful. After you watch the video, please scroll down & tell me what you do for a living. Let’s see how many of us directly and indirectly are in sales. Tell me what’s “tough” about sales for you at least. What would help you improve your sales position (besides a new sales manager )))
