The Secret Framework To Get Whatever You Want
If I offered you these, would you take them?
Free stays at hotels
Paid work with brands
Free gym memberships
Yes?
You will want to keep reading…
Over the past 7 years I have had all those things
In reality, I probably had no right receiving them
Today I will show you how you could do the same
Anyone can do this, you do not need to be special
Actually, I did all of this in periods when I was:
Inexperienced
Self-doubting
Broke
It worked because I understood the concept of trade of value
I’m sure you have come across this concept before
Today I want to share my framework for getting whatever you want
1. Do Some Digging
Who is the best person to talk to about what you want?
Figure out who this person is
Put yourself in their shoes
What are their:
Desires
Loves
Fears
What are the questions that keep them up at night?
Pro tip: Check their social media to find common ground
Now you can start to understand what they want
This is a crucial step for your success
If you can’t figure this out it is not the end of the world
Finding some common ground will help with what is next
2. Reach Out
Opportunities do not wait around until you are ready
Most times they never come to you at all
You have to go out and create them
Step two is where 80% of people will quit
But if you are reading this then that’s good news for you
You aren’t a quitter, so it means less competition
This stage is where you initiate conversation
Choose the medium that is most appropriate:
In person event
Social media
Email
The non negotiable for this stage?
Lead with value
The best initial value IMO…
A good conversation
People love themselves
Talk about something they like or do well
A small genuine compliment works
You should have ideas from viewing their socials
Remember…
The point of the initial convo is not to make an ask
The point of the initial convo is to find a second time to make an ask
Sometimes this will be arranged during the first chat
Sometimes just building good rapport is enough,
This opens the gate for you to reach out via a different medium
Once you have left a memorable impression, your job is done
3. Negotiate
Here is where you can easily drop the ball
Most people “lose” this phase for one of two reasons
a) They don’t know what they want
OR
b) They ask for too much
Make a reasonable ask and make the terms of you desires clear
Be assertive but not pushy
Never make it seem as though you NEED this to work
If it does, cool. If it does not, cool.
Be precise, do not waste people’s time
Most importantly, do not be afraid to hear NO!
4. Overdeliver
At this point, you have their attention and trust
After you negotiate a favorable exchange, the ball is in your court
At bare minimum, do everything in your power to deliver
In cases where you can, overdeliver!
Go the extra mile to ensure they do not feel short changed
Speed is of top priority here
You do not want to miss deadlines or make things drag on
Get what you want, deliver on what you said
Move on.
5. Get Feedback & Document
Depending on the nature of your trade of value you will want feedback
I always like to know how people felt about how the interaction went
It is common courtesy at least
No one likes to feel as though they made special provisions and got ghosted
It makes everything that happened before feel transactional
In cases that make sense, be sure to document your experience
At minimum, document the particulars of the exchange
If the exchange went well, the person might want to do it again
In this scenario, you now have leverage
Be sure to keep the principles central and put people first
If things go well, do not be afraid to re-engage conversation
This framework will help you in:
Launching a business
Networking
Dating
Never forget…
You can NOT have everything, but you CAN have what you really want!
So be clear about your true wants and desires
Be proactive and create the future YOU want!
If not you, then who?
TL;DR
The Secret Framework To Get Whatever You Want
Do Some Digging
Reach Out
Negotiate
Overdeliver
Get Feedback & Document
