🧠Help Doc: Make It Mean More – The North Star of Sales Conversations
This training introduces the core philosophy that transforms average gym sales consultations into high-converting, premium-ticket conversations: "Make It Mean More." By guiding prospects from surface-level dialogue into meaningful, identity-shifting conversations, you’ll close more deals, charge higher prices, and dramatically improve long-term retention.
Key Concept: The Four Words That Change Sales
Make It Mean More
This simple phrase reframes the entire sales interaction. The value of any offer is directly tied to the meaning the prospect attaches to the problem you're helping them solve.
If the issue feels small, the price must be small. But when you uncover a deeply felt, life-impacting reason for change, people are willing to pay premium prices and commit at higher levels.
The Three Levels of Sales Conversations
-
Level 1 – Surface
-
Short, vague answers.
-
“I just want to tone up…”
-
Low emotional meaning = Low close rate.
-
-
Level 2 – Action
-
More specific, with reasons behind behavior.
-
“I’ve been trying to get consistent again…”
-
Decent conversions, but fragile commitment.
-
-
Level 3 – Transformational
-
Rooted in identity and emotions.
-
“My kid asked why I wasn’t like the other moms who could play…”
-
High emotional meaning = High commitment, high ticket, better retention.
-
Real Example: Jennifer’s Story
-
Level 1 Response:
“Just mixing it up, maybe tone up.” → Low urgency, unclear value. -
Level 3 Response (after deeper questions):
“My son was embarrassed I couldn’t play soccer with him. I want to be someone he’s proud of.”
→ Now you're solving a real problem: confidence, parenting, guilt, and legacy.
This deeper conversation justifies your premium offer because it solves a meaningful, emotional, and personal pain point.
How to Use This in Practice
-
Don’t settle for surface-level responses.
-
Guide prospects down through the levels using thoughtful, layered, open-ended questions.
-
Be patient. It takes practice to hold space for transformation-level breakthroughs.
-
Use their own words and stories as your foundation for the pitch later.
