The fear comes from rejection and school owners don\u2019t want to have awkward conversations, close a deal and become a \u2018sellout\u2019 but with the right mindset and energy selling becomes easy.\n \nLearning the art of sales enhances your life in business. Selling your world-class service doesn\u2019t make you a sellout, it makes your business money and helps you grow.\n \nIf you\u2019re passionate about martial arts you can sell from the heart and selling actually becomes serving. Selling starts with being interested in a human being, trying to find out what they desire and finding a solution for them. When you understand this you never have to sell because you\u2019re always serving.\n \nThe serve sale close formula teaches you to start a sale with world-class service. In martial arts schools the sale takes place on the mat, you\u2019re actually selling the experience, you\u2019re building a rapport and you\u2019re serving them at the highest level. \n \nRetaining existing members is also a sale based on service you want to keep your members engaged and sold on the next logical step to progress their martial arts.\n\nBEST MOMENTS \n\u201cYour energy is massively important when selling.\u201d\n\u201cIf you fear selling, you will never sell.\u201d\n\u201cSelling is actually servicing your clients\u201d\n\u201cInstead of selling, just aim to have a beautiful conversation with someone\u201d\n\nVALUABLE RESOURCES\n \nThe Business of Martial Arts by Gordon Burcham\n \nABOUT THE HOST\n \nGordon Burcham is a best-selling author, 3 x World martial arts champion, and award-winning Martial arts school owner.
