Sales Script (Plug & Play) : Things To Keep in Mind
Sales Script (Plug & Play) : Things To Keep in Mind
Great, so could you tell me a little more about what your current
marketing strategy looks like?
This is actually a trick question. We don’t care about their digital marketing
strategy and they don’t need one. It’s not like we’re going to create one for
our clients. All this does is it creates a sense of FOMO. It makes them feel like
they’re missing something big.
Okay, so what’s the current process of taking a stranger and
turning them into a customer?
This is genuine intel because this’ll help us get some more background info
on any other marketing spend they might have right now and where that’s
being allocated to. This also gives you some context as to whether they get a
lot of organic customer, word of mouth, strategic partnership, or anything
else.
Awesome, I’m going to ask you some more specific questions now
so I can understand where your business is at and where you think
we can get it to in 12 months time. Does that sound good?
You’re about to start asking some questions that make a lot of business
owners out there VERY uncomfortable. That’s why it’s best to get compliance
from them first.
What is your current monthly revenue?
Pretty self explanatory. They might have some resistance to telling you. If they
do, compare yourself to a tax advisor - A service provider that will make them
money, but needs transparency and metrics in order to do so.
Where do you want to get your monthly revenue to in 12 months?
You’re future pacing and starting to assign a real number to where they
could be in 12 months from now. This is very powerful. This also gives you
context as to whether they’re being naive or maybe too pessimistic.

This gives me a lot of context, thank you for that! Now, in order for
me to know how much money I’m making you, we have to figure
out the lifetime value of a customer. I have a calculator that we can
use to figure it out.
If the client you’re talking to is Ecomm or Info Product you can just ignore
this. At this point, you’re going to pull out the LTV calculator either in person
or by sharing your screen on Zoom. You’ll use this to find out the LTV of a
customer by also taking into consideration COGs.
So Chris, if I bring you 1 new customer that’s worth ‘x’ to you
business using the same numbers you just told me. Agreed?
This part is really just to validate the fact that you didn’t make these numbers
up. They come directly from the business owners themselves.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phase 2: Emotional Buy In
1. Let’s shift gears real quick because Chris you’re quite clearly a very
successful business owner so why do you even want to go from ‘x’
to ‘x’? And don’t say ‘because I want to grow my business or make
money’ - what’s the reason behind it?
This is where we move into the emotional buy in section. This section is brief
and we almost have to be a little sneaky in the way that we sneak this into
conversation. I’ve found business owners don’t respond well to emotional
questions so we start by brushing their egos and then we ask the question
we want an answer to.
2. Instructions: KEEP DIGGING
I can’t give you an exact script because every client is different, but you want
to ask 1-3 follow up questions relating to what they just told you about why
they want to grow their business. Ask ‘why’ or ‘what would that mean to you?’
and the KEY is don’t make it look like it’s part of the sales process, you’re just
genuinely curious yourself about it.

Phase 3: L
ogic Phase
1. So as we already established, you’re trying to get from ‘x’ to ‘x’ -
would you agree that marketing & getting more leads to your
business is how we’re going to make that happen?
The business owner has to deal with many different aspects of the business,
so once again we want to make it a no brainer that marketing is the way to
do that.
2. Great, so here are your options. You could run a billboard ad,
zero feedback or sign of ROI. You could run a TV ad, zero
feedback or sign of ROI. You could hand out flyers, zero
feedback or sign of ROI. You could do any of those, or you
could use Facebook Ads where you know exactly how much is
spent, how many leads are brought from that and ultimately
how much money is made from it. Would you agree that’s the
better option?
Once again, you want to polarise all other marketing mediums. If you’re
offering a different service then obviously swap it out for paid traffic.
3. So let me quickly explain to you how I get results for clients
using Facebook Ads. First we need to start with an offer or
freebie to draw them in. Some people will take that free offer
and never become a customer, but some will become a paying
customer with an average LTV of. We pay to acquire a
customer, but they’re worth a lot more to you in the long run.
Let me run you through an offer I suggest you run and the
numbers behind the campaign.
This is really where you break down the math and numbers behind the
campaign. WRITE THIS OUT. It’s important that the client can see the
exact formula for results. I’ll show you the example we’ve used
previously in an earlier module on how to price your services:
Sales Script (Plug & Play)
Offer: F
ree teeth cleaning
Offer —> Customer % = 10%
CPL = $ 10/per lead
Show Up Rate = 50%
CPSU = $ 20/per show up
$20 x 10 = $200 per customer
CPA = $200
Gross LTV of customer = $ 2,400
4. For every $200 I spend, I’ll be making you $2,400. This is why it’s
such a no brainer. Is this something you’d like to move forward
with?
Our only service we run for clients is Google & Facebook ads. This is why the
script is framed for that. Basically everything up until Phase 3 questions 3 & 4
is all interchangeable no matter what niche you’re in. If you don’t offer paid
traffic, obviously switch out Q3 & Q4 for your own way to frame the service as
an absolute no brainer.
Once the client says ‘yes’ then you can move into phase 4.

Phase 4: Close
1. My service fee for all of this is only ‘x’ + ad spend
Once you state the price, DO NOT say anything else or try to justify it. I told
you this earlier, silence is one of the biggest signs that you’re comfortable and
confident in yourself.
2. Logistics & Objections
Either the client is going to say ‘great’ or ‘let’s do it’ in which case just skip to
the next point. If they have more logistical questions or some objections, then
use the objection handling PNP (Covered in the next module).
3. Get Payment - ‘Great, so the next step is to settle the invoice so we
can get started running your ads & get started making you money
ASAP. Can you give me your business name, registered address &
VAT if applicable.’
Once you’ve gotten the green light from the client and they want to move
forward, you secure payment IMMEDIATELY. I cannot stress this enough, if
you leave that meeting whether it’s physical or remote and they haven’t paid
the invoice… your chance of signing them has gone down by 70-90%.
Some people like to actually take their client’s card details and then bill them.
I don’t like to do this… instead I’d rather just send them the invoice and they
can pay with card there and then on the spot. Point is, they pay the invoice
immediately and they type in their own card details. Sometimes on stripe
you’ll get a ‘do not honor’ which means their bank declined the payment. You
tell them to call their bank and just mute themselves.
4. On-Board & End
Once payment is made, you can take a sigh of relief. They’re now OFFICIALLY
a client. Send them the on-boarding link and explain that in the space of
60-90 minutes they’ll be entirely onboarded. Then just wait for a notification
that they booked in their strategy session and you’re done!
