Find yourself humming or singing to the dog?
These ditties begin an endless loop that drives you bonkers. They also give you a mild head rush from remembering the words.
Why? Our brain craves predictable patterns to understand, process, and help recall information.
The brain's memory is also very fond of stories that connect repetition and emotion.
Seinfeld is the maestro of repetitive signature moves that make you smile:
- Kramerโs classic entranceโฆ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br2wzb8Cj_g
- The slow deliberate Hellooo Neuman...https://lnkd.in/eezHuqtj
- The three bars of music that open each scene
Predictable, comforting and they never get old.
For Ted Lasso fans, it's the box of biscuitsโฆ
Marketers know that memorable sells.
Top salespeople do too.
Youโre shooting for a soundbite that makes you memorable AND makes it easy for advisors refer you to their buddies.
Memory space is an endangered species โ you can own that real estate with a little effort.
Before you go DORKY here, letโs put some parameters around memorable:
- Probably not biscuits or humming 1-877 Kars for Kids.
- Something quick, perhaps funny that says โ he/sheโs different.
How might you create a pattern of repetition that helps advisors remember why you are the chosen one?
I bet it has nothing to do with a Large Cap, ESGs or model portfolios.
Here are some examples. They may or may not be your thing. As in any professional sport, delivery and timing count.
- Opening your conversation with โLetโs talk about you firstโฆโ
Itโs a neck snapper.
- Opening (or ending) the conversation with: โAre you ready for your tip of the day?โ (NOT product related -This could be a new tech hack or mobile app.)
- Leaving the office with, โOh and one more thingโฆ Hereโs something to think about between now and the next time we talkโฆโ This could be a quote or question you leave them with. For example: โWhat do most people like to hear when they agree to do business with youโฆ.?โ Keep them in suspense with the answer.
(Answer: โYouโve made a good decision.โ There is psychology behind this!)
You only need to come up with 1 or 2 tips or questions that can be used with all your advisors -- it works on the phone too!
Maybe you only work with advisors that are โsmart, fun, ask the right questions, and know that facts donโt sellโฆโ
That becomes your tag line. You will be amazed at how it will do two things:
- Help you with a strategy for every conversation
- Guide you to the advisors who value what you are offering.
Who on your sales team is memorable? Why?
