6. Transcription - Step 1 & Step 2 of the Ultimate Influence Framework - V2 2014603
This transcript records a live training session from The Coaching Institute where the presenter (Sharon) teaches the first two steps of the Ultimate Influence Framework, a sales/enrollment methodology for coaching programs. Step 1 – “Ignite” – focuses on establishing an understated, low‑energy stance that mirrors but under‑matches the prospect’s tone, volume, and speed, deliberately avoiding early price disclosure and returning decision‑making responsibility to the prospect. The trainer stresses that enthusiasm and excitement are counter‑productive; instead, a calm, confident, passionate demeanor creates a psychological brake that makes prospects work harder to prove themselves. Step 2 – “Excite/Build” – moves the conversation into the “extraordinary world” by magnifying the prospect’s strengths, purpose, and desire for continuity or mentorship. The session includes multiple role‑plays illustrating how to ask open‑ended questions, validate fears without reassurance, avoid superficial compliments, and guide prospects toward self‑realisation before presenting the program. Core principles include: matching and being slightly under the prospect’s energy, never letting price control the early call, using “brake‑stay” to shift the prospect from ordinary to extraordinary, magnifying belonging, significance, contribution, and continuity, and maintaining a relationship‑first mindset throughout the sales process.
