Have you ever watched a guy on TV named Cesar Millan? He has two shows you might have seen: The Dog Whisperer and Cesar 911. I admit it. I find myself kind of addicted to watching him work.
It’s a reality show, so each week you get to see Cesar go out to families with “troubled” dogs and fix them.
This guy is really skilled at dog training – but what’s incredible to watch is that he’s even more skilled at training people 4k uhd filme downloaden. In fact, At the beginning of each show, he says, “I rehabilitate dogs… I train people.”
He uses his vast knowledge of dogs to teach dog owners how to relate to their dogs in a way that is most meaningful to the dog. And the results are phenomenal.
Think about it… do you know anyone who goes out to see families with “troubles” on a regular basis?
(Hint: check the mirror!)
And do you think that person in the mirror would be even more successful if they used their knowledge and expertise to relate to their customers in a way that is most meaningful to the customer?
How a Television Dog Show Can Make You Better at Your Job
Let’s see if The Dog Whisperer’s job has anything else in common with our industry pokemon feuerrot download deutsch kostenlos.
In the show, Cesar is always called out for help when things look bleak. Before the families reach out to him, they’ve often already tried to fix the problem on their own, and have gotten nowhere. Now they need professional help.
Cesar refers to the most severe behavioral problems he deals with as “red zone” dogs. These are dogs that are so worried and full of anxiety that they shut down any possibility of healthy interactions and often become severely aggressive toward people and/or other dogs.
Have you ever had a customer who was so defensive and worried about being “sold” that they were cold, rude, or even aggressive word für mac kostenlos herunterladen? When a customer is in this state of mind, they’re not able to think clearly or make the right decisions for their families.
The amazing thing about Cesar is that he finds a way, even with the most toxic “red zone” dogs, to calm them down, show them that they don’t have to be scared or worried – and turn them back into a more relaxed, normally behaving dog.
Now, if you could do that with your defensive, tense customers – that would be a skill that could make a daily difference in your work!
As a tech or salesperson in the field, I think you could learn a lot from watching Cesar and observing the calm confidence with which he goes about doing his job.
Just like you, every week Cesar is helping his customers (dog owners and their dogs) overcome their greatest challenges by guiding them to discover their true potential die siedler 3 download vollversion kostenlos.
And while his approach is tailored for our canine friends, the more I watch Cesar, the more I find that a great deal of his philosophy applies very well to techs and salespeople in our industry.
Here are ways that Cesar’s philosophies can help you become a superstar at your job, too…
7 Ways You Can be ‘The Customer Whisperer’
1. Never Use Force
Like dogs, people push back against force. It’s a natural reaction. The only way for you to become a superstar in this business is by helping your customer discover the right thing to do for themselves. Force pushes people away. Discovery pulls them closer.
2. Live and Work in a Calm, Assertive State
If you’ve watched the show, you’ve heard Cesar say that a million times: Calm, assertive, state fortnite download steam. We all know what calm means, but let’s spend some time on the word assertive. Think of “assertive” as a calm, poised confidence. It is not cocky or aggressive.
Being flustered in front of a customer, or nervous, or desperate will get you nowhere fast. When you give off a vibe of confidence and capability, people will tend to go with the flow since you seem so consistent and in control.
3. Always be a Leader
Leaders lead. They don’t keep their heads down in silence, and they don’t bully or dominate bluetooth zum downloaden. They lead their customers in the direction of the right decision, help them discover “the right thing” on their own, and support them in their decision.
4. It’s NOT About You
Cesar will occasionally warn dog owners that they’re treating their dog like a human. The problem with that is that they’re not human – they’re dogs. Dog owners need to make dog training about the dog – not about themselves or their feelings. They need to lead their dog in a way that makes sense to dogs, not people.
In our business, it’s no different kann netflix app nicht herunterladen. Your calls are not about you. They’re about your customer, their problem, and their situation. Let them do the majority of the talking and resist talking about yourself and your expertise.
5. Success Always Follows Relationship Building
Just as a good dog trainer does, a good tech or salesperson needs to spend time on the front end of a call creating an environment of mutual trust. People and dogs alike pull away from those who they don’t trust… they put up barriers.
But once trust is established, the two of you can make incredible things happen together. Take the time to build the relationship on the front end, and it will pay off for you and the customer big time on the back end!
6. Discipline Creates Consistency
We’re not talking about disciplining others here. I’m talking about being disciplined with yourself and your process. Cesar teaches his human clients to do the same things in the same ways every time when they’re training their dogs.
In your world, this means you need to remain disciplined by sticking to your process, doing a quality job each time, and not shortcutting the system.
Having a structured sales process like Total Immersion makes consistency much easier. Practice every day. When you lose a job, diagnose why and work on the skills that will save it next time. Have the self-discipline necessary to achieve your greatest potential.
7. Live in a state of NOW
Like dogs, you can live in the moment. Dogs don’t care about what happened yesterday. Every day represents a fresh start. Don’t worry things in the past because you can’t control those things anymore.
Likewise, if you spend your time thinking about the bad things that you think might happen in your future, then you create a self-fulfilling prophecy which could actually wind up making those things come true.
