​@@thefutur❤ Thank you so Much!! No one,Yet, but I am hopeful! I hope that you and your family are having a Wonderful Christmas and the New Year brings you Everything you want!!❤ Namasté 🙏 from the UK. Andréa and Critters. ...XxX...

[@felixperalta9135]

@ thefutur do you have a sales course that teaches an entire sales process along with how to prospect, leave voice mails, overcome objections etc?

[@wherewemob]

keeping it genuine and authentic will always be the way. the clients are literally just people. most people have goals, hit plateaus and get lost sometimes. coming from a place of service allows us to keep it natural.

[@teejaynews]

I knew that logo from anywhere. That's my guy

[@wherewemob]

@@teejaynews yessir appreciate you fam! the futur one of the best channels

[@disguisedvision2003]

This is where my confidence lies, I know most are not actually genuine also walking in the image of God not by choice. I care about ppl bc I know what it’s like for ppl not to actually care, not a good feeling bc you can feel it.

[@stevrgrs]

100%

[@xbebe]

Shout out to all the entrepreneurs out there who are ACTUALLY DOING IT. Whether you own your job or you have employees, congrats!! We made it!! Sometimes we gotta sit back and realize where we came from to appreciate where we are today! Love you all hard workers

[@anonkhat]

This is better than 90% of the sales course I have taken. Thank you very much Chris!

[@thefutur]

Glad you think so!

[@ibradul]

Curious about that top 10% If it's better than this, please throw me in that direction.

[@boyantrifonov]

I want to thank all the people that paid tickets to this conference and RGD for paying Chris Do's 30 000$ Speaking Fee so that me and 119 000 other people (as of February 1st 2024) to have the opportunity to see this wonderful value filled presentation!

[@samirelzein1095]

30k wow nice. Deserves more

[@metatrix4251]

Amen to that. Or Hail the Great Designer.

I love that such invaluable, high-quality education is here on youtube, for free! Chris, you're literally building a whole generation of designers who can save the world (cause who else if not us, right?)!

[@thefutur]

You are the generation I’m making content for.

[@RafaelCruzPodcast]

Its insane that Chris does this and puts it on KZbin for free

[@HostileGingerATL]

He was paid $30k for this speech. He made his money.

[@RafaelCruzPodcast]

@@HostileGingerATL thank you for sharing this. I have no way of denying nor verifying that, nor do I intend on doing so. But also your claim and my claim are not at all mutually exclusive, and both can ad value to the same reality.

[@hateemarshad5776]

@thefutur, I can relate to a lot of the things. I was in a sales position as my first job. The products were very crapy and it was just a start for me. I observed that the store had very little sales, and then I did the opposite of what my colleagues did. I listened more and empathized with the customers and I was one of the best salespeople in that store in a few week's time.

[@cupbowlspoonforkknif]

I love that you literally gave us a script to work with! 42 min a pure gold. That's why I always have to listen twice to make sure I got it all. Thank you! I hope I'll be so successful that I'll be writing you a check!

[@nywiechmann2739]

I'll be listening to this video on loop for 60 days! Thank you for this presentation. Everything that you've shared aligns with my value as a sales professional. 🙏👍

[@RosanoCallao]

I've been introvert all my life but have always been wanting to enter into sales. The topics here has been an eye-opener for me. Thanks Chris!

[@nywiechmann2739]

Just some words of encouragement: DO IT. It'll be the best (sometimes most frustrating) most challenging but soooo rewarding job that you will ever have. 😊

[@seeyouthereinvitations]

Chris, as usual, you blow my mind. I always wanted to start a mentorship program for wedding stationers, and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out my niche until this video! I just had an AHA moment, and I'm about to get started on it.

[@rahulaswal2051]

Workshop Questions: 1. What pain does your client experience (functional, financial, emotional)? 2. What negative outcomes are your client fearful of, or trying to avoid? 3. What objections or accusations might new client raise?

[@thefutur]

Excellent.

[@GMacII]

My favorite question is "What keeps you up at night?" let them talk...then "Do you see it getting any better or worse?" then "Why?"

[@gr8bskt]

@@GMacIIExcellent questions.

[@disguisedvision2003]

@@GMacIIwoah thank you!

[@alltheserobotsshallfall]

I've been following Chris for YEARS now, he is 100% on point. I am starting over again and his words are inspiring and motivating. Dude is a person I should 100% listen to everyday. And I'll try to! Thanks Chris Do, you are the best!

[@Papaleeo]

I have always been interested in counselling and sales. Thanks for showing me how to combine the two. I am new to sales and this resonates with how I'd like to sell. Thank you for the value

[@thefutur]

You’re very welcome

[@garyaugustin6993]

Really resourceful and educational session. My main take away is; "What got you here, won't get you there."

[@leons92]

Man I love your energy and aura, so genuine. Looking forward to paying that energy forward to my potential clients. Thank you

[@thefutur]

Best of luck!

[@michaellamanna8219]

Chris, I am a consultant, and this message is so awesome, all I can say is a big Thank you!

[@matthewlawrencescigousky]

So interesting watching this. Made me realize how much demand this community has for selling skills development.

[@danecruz93]

amazing. tried summarizing in notes....ended up almost re writing everything you said bro. everything you said was key, gold......bless u man

[@thefutur]

Glad it helped!

[@Jacky_xu]

can't believe this information is free. Thank you very much for sharing. please continue to be the "NERD" you always is. The contents you are sharing are changing people's lives^^

[@thefutur]

More to come!

[@disguisedvision2003]

The last strategy you shared makes the most sense ever. Always knew that was a great way to catch ppl attention but if YOU KNOW your value, you know it will repay bc you’re providing service. As people of God, that’s the easiest way to recycle as it comes back every trip!

[@kevinfreire5696]

Been in sales 12 yrs. You know my frequency brother. Thank you for your time invested.

[@PrevailPal]

Thank you for sharing. May your day BE filled with more thankfulness, encouragement and forward thinking today....

[@TomyDMethot]

Chris! I watched the whole thing with all my attention. I've been in sales for the last 10 years and all you said is true! 100% right! Folks, this is how you REALLY sell if you want to sell more and stand up as authentic and genuine. Selling is helping.

[@thefutur]

Thank you

[@ernestlyernest]

I love the acronym SALES. It echoes Steven Covey’s 7 habits. Ask = Being proactive. Serve/Listen/empathise = seek first to understand then be understood

[@HaydenBuchanan]

As someone who has gone from employee to freelancer and blue looking to grow my own business in the creative industry this video is by far the turning point in thinking for me Cheers Chris

[@FragranceCraft]

A friend recently told me " Gabriele, you will have to learn that people WANT TO BUY your products". 😅 🎉 Thank you for this video! Love the calm way you speak, always very valuable information and very human way to share it ❤

[@JeffHarrison1960]

Chris, thank you for sharing this pot of gold nuggets. In my podcast interviews I always share with the guest a list of questions (5) and typically never get past the first one, because like a string on a sweater, I pull on their first answer for more…maybe one of my most enjoyable tings I get to do. Again thank you. Brilliant .

[@Boccione07]

Appreciate you out there sharing this great knowledge and on the Internet for free!!

[@cara.leo_]

This is AWESOME 👏 thank you Chris for sharing your wisdom. It just makes so much more sense and flows so much better to serve and help rather than sell. The right people will naturally gravitate towards you and those who are not right for you will naturally drop off. It’s being able to let go of those who aren’t match for you who you otherwise would have closed but wouldn’t have a good experience working with.

[@davidp9316]

I'm not even a designer and I really enjoyed this, been following for over 5 years. Thank you

[@thefutur]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AngelLadyCrystals]

I've recently discovered you and your content. It is inspiring, insightful, as are you. Alylthough I'm not a 'designer' I am an introverted creator and find incredible value in your content. I'd rather stay in the background and sometimes I atari away. However, I have become extroverted enough through practice, persistence and determination so that my 'voice' is heard in ways that serve my audience. Thank you, beautiful Soul for all you give. 🙏💙
