On this episode of The Wednesday Call, Andy Albright talks about how the word “no” might actually mean something different than you think.
Why do so many people ask for something and stop asking when they hear the word no? When a person says no, that is when you really start the process of selling. It is huge to realize that. Great builders and networkers don’t stop when they hear the word no.
When Andy talks to people, he gets more excited when he asks a question and hears somebody say the word no. He gets fired up!
Don’t be scared of the word no, get excited about it. By getting to the “no” part, we bring the real issues front and center. No protects people from making ineffective decisions. It slows us down so we can think and creates a safe feeling that is about feeling secure and in control. No moves forward. It screams, “let’s go!”
When you get buy in from other people’s perspective it means they made a decision and they believe in what they are doing. Arguing with people causes the opposite result. It makes people want to run or quit. Being nice to people at times appears to be disingenuous and manipulative.
People’s primal urges are to be safe and secure, and to be in control. These are illogical and urgent. People have two primary focuses or urges: safety and to be in charge. People want to feel in control.
We must avoid time vampires. These people are able to talk “junk.”
Now, the word “yes” comes in three forms: counterfeit (escape route or trick to keep you talking), confirmation (no promise of action) and commitment (sincere and genuine).
We want people to make the decision for themselves and feel like it is their idea, goal and mission to do something.
Work to improve at getting people to say no early on. No should be a word that is your friend or like a magic pill in your mind. Stay calm when a person tells you no because that should be when the fun begins. Come to grips with the word no. The words yes and maybe are often worthless. Andy wants people to love the word no because it starts and alters conversations. It’s a chance to pivot, adjust and re-examine what you are saying to a person.

On this episode of The Wednesday Call, Andy Albright talks about freedom, time, money … and how you can get more of it.
How many times have you wished you had more of all those three things? What if you had the opportunity to get more of all three? If you were given a shot to take control of everything you did and the manner in which you did it, would you go all in to make it happen?
When you are talking to people, are you selling the importance of niche marketing? Are you building relationships that go beyond the product that you are selling? If you can find out what a person’s itch is and scratch it, then you are going to win big. If you can keep helping people eliminate their itches, then you are going to win in a big way. When you find out what people want, then you can sell them that. Figure out how to connect with people early and stop trying to sell that you have a cure. Find out what their hurt or need is and help them fix it.
People want to work with who they like. They also want an opportunity that works too. If you can find a place that gives you both, then you are going to stick with it. That’s what The Alliance needs to keep offering people. A chance to be with people they like and a place where they can make money too. Get in the habit of finding out what a person likes and what they want when you first meet them before you try to hammer them over the head about what we do before you even find out what they want.
When you market yourself and what you do in a different way, you probably will get better results. Tell people why you are great and why the meeting you attend is the best. Don’t just say there’s a meeting next week. Tell them why the meeting is great, but say it in a way that is tailored to what they are looking for right then.
When you can offer people a cure for their ailment, then you can win over the curious because you have shown empathy and worked to understand who they are, what they want and what they need. If you can solve the problem, you will win the game. When you deliver a solution to what ails them, then you are going to a hero to them. Be a problem solver for people and you will see your business blow up. Be the hope that people are looking for.

On this episode of The Wednesday Call podcast, Paul Roberts stepped in as guest host while Andy Albright was out of the country in Africa. Roberts, who lives in Argyle, Texas, was joined by his good friends – Phil Hebert and George Andershock.
Paul’s main topic for the show was Grace and Gratitude. Those two things are what Paul says have changed his life and his business with The Alliance in the last seven years.
Andershock shared some of his story that brought him to The Alliance, and talked about why he has gratitude for people and for the life he enjoys now.
Hebert told the audience about his own personal struggles to make it as a single father. At one point, he was in line for a promotion, but turned it down because it would mean moving his son to another part of the country.
Roberts shared his personal story of battling alcohol and having to fight to make it financially. Now, he’s in a much better place and will make more money this year than he ever has in his life.
Paul made it clear that words matter more than people realize and you have to be careful about what you say to people. Choose your words carefully. Grace and gratitude should help determine how you spend your time and how you deal with people. Exercise more patience with people and show empathy and love instead of giving up on them so easily. Some people take more time to figure it out. Help them.
Roberts encouraged people not to be scared and to realize that you are stronger than you think you are. You can step it up a notch. You have to stop doubting yourself. Don’t think you’ve arrived. Remember you are on a journey and you are not even close to the end. You are capable of so much more. It’s OK to celebrate the little victories, but remember there is a bigger one coming down the road. The journey is worth it. Keep pushing to see how much you can do rather than trying to reach a set destination.
