Believe in your value! Interview with Matt Elwell, Founder of The Elite Closing Academy

Martial Arts Business Podcast

What do you believe in?

We can’t sell when we don’t believe in what we’re offering. Believe in yourself, your talent, your services, so they could also believe in you—therefore, enrol in your MA school!

In this episode of the Martial Arts Business Podcast, Matt Elwell, the ultimate expert in making sales and closing deals comes back to the hot seat just to say, “Believe in yourself!” That’s right, quite basic, if we’re being honest, but it’s the most difficult and complex thing to do, especially if we lack confidence and refuse to defy the norm.

Your martial arts business can compete with others and excel to the very top…believe them. Tune in as Gordon and Matt share some great point regarding this topic. They also discuss topics around pricing, MA training, and many more. Tune in now!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• 50% of all trainings revolves around your mindset and a set of beliefs. If you believe that your talent, your service, is worth the price you presented, then there won’t be a problem, since people can see that you believe in yourself—people buy that.
• Being certain on what you can do for yourself and for your clients can go a long way. People trust you easier when they see credibility. Let your belief drive them to cling to their own beliefs.
• Matt advises that you choose a pricing range that works for you. It is only then that you tweak it for maybe a chosen few people for a limited time, if it becomes difficult to operate. Always make people believe that what they’re investing in will result in their career or personal growth.
• Also, in for your team to perform their very best, they have to feel that you believe in them. Encouragement and understanding are important since they’re with you on your journey to grow your martial arts business.

BEST MOMENTS

• “The downside of having inherited beliefs is we never challenge them.”
• “We have massive value but pricing it is a huge problem.”
• “When you carry that level of certainty within you, and someone challenges you on it, you’re up for being challenged.”
• “Repetition is the mother of all skills.”
