How to Win Your Best Buyers with Creativity and Laughter Starring Tom Schaff

Learn the easier, least expensive way to double sales with your own Dream Buyer Strategy here!

Here’s some big takeaways to learn from Tom Schaff on choosing your Dream Buyers:

  • When looking for your Dream Buyers, if you’re looking for the ones that have the problem that you solve, you’ll be too late. Ask yourself: what’s the problem we solve, what’s the situation that creates that problem? Therefore, you must look at your Dream Buyers thinking of the antecedent events that cause the need. When you can find the sign that says someone’s going to buy they just don’t know it yet, then you’re being smart.
  • Most companies ask the wrong question, they ask:
    • Who do I want to work with, instead of who can I create the most value for?
    • Who’s harmed the most because I’m not here?
  • When you can get your list of who you can make the most difference for, weirdly enough, they’ll be waiting for you to show up. That tends to be your best dream clients, when they need you more than you need them. Then you can have even greater success.
  • Don’t just look at raw numbers and say here’s a hundred for my Dream Buyers. That’s a list. If you’re going to do that, call the Z’s nobody ever gets to them.
  • Dream Buyer Strategy is not a prize to be won, it’s a fit to be made. It’s a marriage to be made.
  • Why go after a hundred equally when there’s ten you can make a difference for.

Last but not least, some golden nuggets to keep in mind as you continue your journey:

  • Once you’ve hunted whales and like it, you’ll never hunt anything but whales again.
  • You can get in front of anyone if you have a reason.
  • The word salesperson is an interesting one, we often leave the “person” out of the sale.
  • Other people go to work, I go to play.
