The investment I made in myself with [The Ruby Group's] help has paid for itself several times over. This year, 95% of my business has been from a referral, and so far, sales are up 55%. And I am supposed to be in my "slow" season!
I sold a $2,100 job tonight. You said about 30% of selling is the "parent." Early on they asked me how much more my premium product was compared to my "entry-level" product (they have it in FL). I said 50% more, but when I did the numbers, I found that the product I was suggesting was 65% more expensive. After I gave my price, they said, "that is really expensive." I simply paused and replied, "I know, I don't know what to do." After literally a minute of silence, they closed the deal themselves with a $600 deposit. Beautiful.
