Show Notes

Selling After “No”

• Why most selling happens after someone says no.
• The real definition of objections: fear of loss or identity disruption.
• The power of staying with people longer than anyone else until they run out of reasons to resist.

Finding the Heartbeat of the Market

• How Jason turned $200/hour webinars in small-town Iowa into 8-figure launch frameworks.
• Why understanding the “heartbeat” of your market is worth billions.
• The compounding effect of even small increases in conversion (1.5% → 1.7%).

Ethical Persuasion vs. Pressure Selling

• Why selling is service when it’s directed at qualified, right-fit customers.
• How pre-suasion, education, and transformation-before-transaction shift selling from manipulation to influence.
• Why saying no should be more expensive than saying yes—for the right prospects only.

Power in Partnerships

• The story of Zoom hiring Jason to teach webinars—the only marketer they’ve ever brought in.
• Behind the scenes with Hormozi’s $100M Leads and Gadzhi’s half-million-person challenge.
• Joe & Jason co-selling Genius Network®, including the famous call with a prospect battling brain cancer.

Knowing Who Not to Sell

• The dangers of pushing sales on unqualified buyers.
• How disqualification protects both reputation and the client’s future.
• Why saying “no” to the wrong client is just as valuable as closing the right one.

Lessons in Persistence

• How Jason built his skills by answering every objection live—hour after hour.
• Why reps matter more than polish: selling to dozens each week sharpened instincts that no book could.
• Building teams (“copy cubs”) to systemize instinctive closes into frameworks others can repeat.

Human Dynamics of Selling

• Why fear, shame, and identity blocks are at the root of most objections.
• How empathy and staying power earn prospects’ trust to reveal the real issue.
• The role of character and attitude over technical skills when hiring or building teams.

Future-Proofing Through Service

• The best sales letter is a really good product—and a transformative experience.
