Takeaways

  • 🚀 Comprendre la psychologie d'achat est essentielle pour développer son entreprise de freelance, surtout si vous êtes créatif.
  • 🤔 La difficulté à vendre aux autres est souvent due à notre manque de compréhension sur les motivations d'achat et les objectifs de vie des clients.
  • 🌐 Les marques existent car, dans l'histoire humaine, nous avons eu peu de choix et avons survécu en se concentrant sur la subsistance.
  • 🛒 Le choix est un élément clé dans nos achats modernes, car il nous permet de nous différencier et d'adhérer à des groupes sociaux.
  • 🎯 Chaque client est motivé par quelque chose qu'il veut atteindre, il existe une tension entre sa réalité actuelle et celle qu'il souhaite atteindre.
  • 💡 Pour réussir, il est important de réduire la douleur du client et d'augmenter le gain en offrant un pont entre sa réalité actuelle et son futur souhaité.
  • 🎯 Restez concentré sur un marché spécifique pour prédire mieux ce que les clients veulent et ont besoin.
  • 🚫 Ne pas servir un marché trop large, car cela rend les choses plus claires pour vous et plus prévisibles pour vos clients.
  • 🤔 Surmonter la croyance limitante selon laquelle 'si je ne sers pas beaucoup de gens, je ne vais pas gagner beaucoup d'argent'.
  • 📈 Concentrez-vous sur la simplification et la spécialisation pour améliorer l'efficacité et la scalabilité de votre entreprise.
  • 💬 La psychologie des ventes est le deuxième élément clé essentiel mentionné dans le script, qui doit être compris pour une croissance réussie.

Q & A

  • Quelle est la principale difficulté que les personnes rencontrent lorsqu'elles vendent à d'autres personnes ?

  • Pourquoi les marques existent-elles selon Christo ?

    -Les marques existent parce qu'il y a un concept relativement moderne que les humains se sont développés et qu'ils ont eu suffisamment de ressources pour avoir le choix. Cela a conduit à la création de marques qui représentent les croyances, les valeurs, les préférences et les goûts des individus.

  • Comment un freelance peut-il surmonter la croyance limitante qu'il doit servir beaucoup de gens pour gagner beaucoup d'argent ?

Highlights

The discussion revolves around five core essentials for growing a freelance business, particularly for creatives.

The first core essential is 'buying psychology', which is about understanding why people buy and what motivates them.

People are often motivated by different things, and understanding these motivations can improve sales.

The concept of brands has emerged as a relatively modern phenomenon due to increased choices and wealth.

When people buy something, it says something about who they are, their beliefs, values, preferences, and taste.

The second core essential is 'sales psychology', which involves understanding the customer's perspective and needs.

Freelancers should focus on reducing pain and increasing gain for their customers to bridge the gap between their current and desired reality.

It's important for businesses to narrow down their target market to better understand and serve their customers.

By focusing on a specific audience, businesses can predict what their customers want and need.

The concept of 'focus' is about concentrating energy and resources into one area to achieve success.

A clear and specific brief allows for focused creativity and better outcomes in design and other fields.

The power of focus is likened to a laser, where concentrated energy can have a significant impact.

The third core essential is 'pricing psychology', though not detailed in the transcript, it suggests understanding the value customers place on products and services.

The fourth core essential is 'irresistible offer', which implies creating offers that are too good for customers to pass up.

The fifth core essential is 'attraction marketing', which likely involves drawing in customers through compelling and relevant marketing strategies.

Understanding buying psychology can lead to better sales approaches and customer satisfaction.

The importance of focusing on a niche market is emphasized for freelancers to maximize their business potential.

yo what's up you beautiful people in

play00:01

this video I'm going to be doing a deep

play00:03

dive with the one and only Christo about

play00:06

what he believes to be the five core

play00:09

Essentials that you must Master to grow

play00:11

your freelance business especially if

play00:13

you're creative so you want to stick

play00:15

around for that let's jump right into it

play00:16

just to contextualize a little bit more

play00:18

of the discussion so people can follow

play00:19

along you've kind of titled these five

play00:21

core Essentials which is what's going to

play00:23

be discussed throughout the video and

play00:25

I'll list the top five the five and then

play00:26

we'll talk about each one individually

play00:28

the first one is buying psychology the

play00:31

second one is sales psychology third is

play00:33

pricing psychology four is irresistible

play00:36

offer and number five is attraction

play00:38

marketing many of these terms may be

play00:40

interchangeable in our sphere or in

play00:42

business so let's start with the first

play00:44

one buying psychology what is it and

play00:46

what do you exactly mean when you say

play00:48

this is a core essential to Growing your

play00:50

create a creative freelance business

play00:51

what is buying psychology well a lot of

play00:53

people have a problem selling to other

play00:56

people probably the reason why they have

play00:58

a hard time selling to other people is

play00:59

because they don't really understand why

play01:01

people buy what motivates them what

play01:03

they're trying to achieve in their life

play01:04

they think it's about receiving a

play01:06

service and paying a price for it

play01:08

they're missing the entire Point most of

play01:10

us are motivated by different things now

play01:12

I think it's a relatively modern concept

play01:15

that Brands exist and the reason why is

play01:18

because for a very long period of time

play01:19

in human history we barely had enough

play01:21

our main focus was on Survival so we

play01:24

didn't have a lot of choices if there

play01:25

was food to eat we would eat it and we

play01:27

would eat as much as we could because we

play01:29

didn't know when our next meal was going

play01:30

to come so fast forward into the 20th

play01:32

century now we have industrialized

play01:34

farming and we are increasingly becoming

play01:37

wealthier as individuals the median

play01:39

income and the ability to acquire food

play01:41

is a lot easier and mass-produced goods

play01:44

and so now we have a thing called choice

play01:45

so this is where it gets really

play01:47

fascinating and so now when we can

play01:48

choose multiple options there's many

play01:51

alternatives to what it is that you buy

play01:52

we start to ask ourselves why do I

play01:54

prefer one pair of shoes over another

play01:56

they both will cover my feet they'll get

play01:58

me from point A to point B but there's

play02:00

got to be more here and so companies

play02:02

started to figure this out and this has

play02:04

been probably the last 100 years that

play02:06

this has been going on maybe a little

play02:07

bit longer than that I would say in the

play02:09

last 50 years this has really come to a

play02:11

head because all you have to do is go

play02:13

and search on Amazon type in the word

play02:15

brand and you're gonna see probably

play02:16

hundreds if not thousands of books with

play02:18

the word branded it somewhere so what is

play02:20

it that we're doing well why do we pay

play02:22

more for something when a cheaper

play02:25

alternative exists why do we do that are

play02:27

we crazy what is happening is when we

play02:29

buy something it says something about

play02:30

who we are our beliefs our values our

play02:33

preference our taste but it's allowing

play02:35

us to join a tribe of other people who

play02:37

buy the same brand and we see each other

play02:40

like we get it oh you're that kind of

play02:41

driver you're an Audi driver you're a

play02:43

Porsche driver you're a Mercedes person

play02:45

so we're signaling to others with the

play02:48

symbols that we put on our body the

play02:50

things that we get into and drive and

play02:53

the things that we wear around our neck

play02:55

are I I wear our our jewelry all those

play02:58

things signal somebody else this is who

play02:59

I am so we're searching for meaning and

play03:02

we're trying to form our identities and

play03:03

so when we start to understand that we

play03:05

might sell a little bit differently what

play03:07

I'm saying is what you think you know

play03:08

about what motivates people is probably

play03:10

wrong and when you start to understand

play03:11

what motivates people how they buy why

play03:13

they buy looking at it from the

play03:15

customer's point of view it'll give you

play03:16

an entirely different Insight I'm

play03:18

curious when we understand buying

play03:20

psychology the way I understand it is

play03:21

there's two sections there's the

play03:23

internal you and your business and the

play03:25

external which is the customer and you

play03:27

said a lot about why are we motivated to

play03:29

buy that's on the customer side I'm

play03:31

curious if I'm a freelancer right now

play03:33

listening and I'm trying to improve my

play03:35

business to attract that customer to be

play03:37

motivated to me what is one thing that I

play03:40

could focus on whether that's enhancing

play03:42

or improving or studying to make sure

play03:44

that I'm a more appealing business to

play03:47

that buyer and that buyer psychology

play03:49

yeah there's a very simple fundamental

play03:51

concept that you need to understand that

play03:53

user experience designers have

play03:54

understood for a long time now which is

play03:56

each person is motivated to achieve

play03:57

something so they exist in their care

play03:59

reality and they're trying to get to

play04:02

their desired reality or their desired

play04:04

future State there's some tension

play04:06

there's a barrier there's a gap between

play04:08

where they are and where they want to be

play04:10

when you start to understand that then

play04:11

you start to feel their pain and what

play04:13

what motivates them again so you want to

play04:15

reduce the pain and you want to increase

play04:17

the gain and if you provide a bridge

play04:20

between their current reality and their

play04:22

desired reality it will do really well

play04:24

the problem is that many businesses just

play04:26

think about what it is they want to do

play04:27

and they don't really understand the

play04:29

market at all they're really good at

play04:30

problem solving not great at problem

play04:33

finding or seeking any solution isn't

play04:35

good or bad it depends on the problem

play04:37

the person's seeking it and this is

play04:39

what's really important to understand so

play04:41

ask yourself who is it that I'm trying

play04:43

to serve and the first step I would say

play04:45

is try not to serve such a big and Broad

play04:47

Market you need to narrow it down and it

play04:49

feels very counter-intuitive to say like

play04:51

so to get more business I have to reduce

play04:53

the possible customers that will buy

play04:55

from me and the answer is emphatically

play04:57

yes you must do that because it must be

play05:00

clear in your mind who this person is

play05:01

and the clearer you are the more likely

play05:03

you could predict what it is that they

play05:05

want what it is that they need what

play05:06

motivates them where they're feeling a

play05:08

lot of pain and resistance and where

play05:10

they're going to get a lot of joy and

play05:12

fulfillment when you understand that the

play05:14

solutions start to become a lot easier

play05:15

we got to train our mind to look for

play05:17

problems two things here number one I

play05:19

thought I was the rapper you said reduce

play05:20

the pain increase the gain that's just

play05:22

right that's fine reduce the pain

play05:25

increase the gain by knowing your

play05:26

audience specifically very well and then

play05:28

finding the problem that you can best

play05:30

solve I'm gonna take a rabbit hole here

play05:32

because I already know that the

play05:33

listeners are probably fuming at

play05:35

something you said because even early on

play05:37

in my career when I first started being

play05:39

mentored by you this concept of making

play05:42

your audience smaller as a

play05:43

multi-hyphenate makes me just pissed off

play05:46

and I understand the importance of it

play05:48

the less people that I can serve the

play05:50

bigger the problem I can solve for them

play05:52

and the more clear I am in presenting

play05:54

myself what can a person that's

play05:56

listening right now do to overcome this

play05:58

like limiting belief belief of like I'm

play06:00

not gonna make a lot of money if I don't

play06:02

serve a lot of people I have a simple

play06:04

response to that if you're watching this

play06:06

if you're listening to this somewhere it

play06:09

means that you want to improve your

play06:11

business you want to work less and make

play06:13

more money and spend more time with

play06:15

family and the kids if you have some and

play06:17

if it's working for you you probably

play06:18

would not be listening you'd probably be

play06:20

where I'm at which is teaching so if

play06:22

it's working don't change anything a lot

play06:23

of people get upset at me because

play06:24

they're like no Chris you don't know

play06:25

what you're talking about I'm like well

play06:27

what evidence do you have that what

play06:28

you're talking about works and all you

play06:30

have to do is look at your balance sheet

play06:32

you got to look at your progress the

play06:33

team that you have and the amount of joy

play06:35

you have in your life now if everything

play06:37

is going great you don't need to change

play06:38

I say that seriously I'm not trying to

play06:40

like throw any shade on anyone for the

play06:42

rest of the people who are like you know

play06:43

what I've hit a certain plateau in my

play06:46

business I did two hundred thousand

play06:48

dollars last year in the five years

play06:49

before that and in fact our profit is

play06:52

shrinking because my costs are going

play06:53

higher what is happening Chris okay I'll

play06:57

give you some simple analogs for you to

play06:59

see if you you can follow the logic

play07:01

sorry to interrupt if you're enjoying

play07:02

this video I just want to let you know

play07:03

I'll be leaving some information about

play07:05

an upcoming European Workshop tour in

play07:08

the description below go check that out

play07:09

because I'll share this and so much more

play07:11

I try to be very evidence-based on my

play07:13

thinking so there's this gut that tells

play07:15

us what to feel and oftentimes we

play07:18

mistake that gut feeling as like logical

play07:20

evidence-based thinking critical

play07:22

thinking if you will let's just say

play07:24

you're trying to help me out and you're

play07:25

an executive assistant a highly paid one

play07:27

and I say go to the store and get me

play07:29

something to eat and yeah cool you run

play07:30

in there and then you start to realize

play07:32

there are too many options salad bar

play07:34

Soup Bar a rotisserie chicken steak you

play07:37

don't know if I'm vegan or dairy and you

play07:38

think maybe let's grab some snacks and

play07:41

then you walk down just the aisle with

play07:43

water and there's 45 different kinds of

play07:45

water alkaline neutral Smart Water it's

play07:48

just too many different types and now

play07:49

you're exhausted you're like oh my God

play07:51

it's my first day on the job I'm gonna

play07:53

get fired and why is that and this could

play07:55

have been avoided had you just stopped

play07:56

instead of running into the store like

play07:58

most people do and saying to me me Chris

play08:00

what is it that you're in the mood for

play08:02

are you on a diet are there any

play08:05

allergies or any preferences for food

play08:07

are you on a calorie restriction is this

play08:10

just for now or for later does this need

play08:12

to be refrigerated what is going on tell

play08:14

me some of your preferences tell me some

play08:16

of things that you just cannot have

play08:18

because it's going to send your body

play08:19

into shock quite literally so we start

play08:21

to understand this and if I start to get

play08:23

very specific with you what happens is

play08:25

you're reducing the kinds of things

play08:26

you're going to explore and you're going

play08:28

to be able to narrow it in really quick

play08:30

I might say to you I'm looking for

play08:31

something fresh something very light I

play08:33

need more greens and fiber in my diet

play08:35

with a little bit of clean protein and

play08:37

now you know you can eliminate 99 of the

play08:40

store and go straight to probably the

play08:42

salad bar and put something together for

play08:43

me you can see that right and even in

play08:45

the salad bar if it's a good one there's

play08:47

a lot of options out there okay so we

play08:49

understand this now and I used to do

play08:51

this with my students I used to say in

play08:53

in my storyboarding class class go out

play08:55

there and get a leaf for me and we're

play08:56

going to draw a leaf and then we'll just

play08:58

run out and then where you guys going

play08:59

what if the leaf I want you to a draw

play09:01

doesn't even grow in California what are

play09:03

you doing so the Instinct the Instinct

play09:05

and I think this if we're to find fault

play09:08

is a byproduct of the education system

play09:10

that most of us grow up in which is

play09:12

rewarded for answers were not rewarded

play09:14

for questions whoever raises their hands

play09:16

first gets the gold star moves up in the

play09:19

class sits closer to the teacher even

play09:21

gets a little note Little Johnny or Mary

play09:23

participated was first to volunteer I

play09:25

love this good job and look at who gets

play09:27

punished teacher I'm not clear about the

play09:29

instructions teacher why do we do this

play09:31

what is going on here can you explain a

play09:33

little bit more I don't have time for

play09:34

that right now it's a great question but

play09:36

you know the class is over an hour we

play09:38

got to get through this so over time

play09:39

we're attuning our mind and our thinking

play09:42

to give answers really fast and that's a

play09:44

problem I hope that makes sense Mo it

play09:46

does and it's it's flaring up just if I

play09:48

can share something that you've had to

play09:50

almost pound into my brain over the past

play09:52

four years which and I'll use the

play09:54

acronym that you I think you develop for

play09:56

Focus but like follow one course until

play09:58

successful I remember the first three

play10:00

years of the the business my shiny

play10:01

object syndrome as I got you know

play10:03

exposed to you of like oh I like

play10:05

branding oh I like graphic design oh I

play10:07

like logo design I was originally a

play10:09

video production company and now we're a

play10:11

video content marketing company so

play10:13

similar Niche just a different way of

play10:15

executing on it but I remember just the

play10:16

challenges even operationally as a

play10:18

business outside of just your ideal

play10:21

audience person of just every time you

play10:23

jump you're almost having to create new

play10:25

processes and systems on how to do this

play10:27

one thing so this argument of not being

play10:29

focused even inside of your business

play10:31

creates complexity and I don't know who

play10:33

coin is but like Simplicity scales fancy

play10:35

fails right this ability to really know

play10:37

who you're talking to and being able to

play10:38

go to that supermarket and be like

play10:39

here's what they need and here's the

play10:41

problem that I solve makes a lot of

play10:42

sense it took me way too long so I'm

play10:44

excited for those that are listening to

play10:45

maybe like don't fight the fight Chris

play10:47

always tells me just do what I say and

play10:49

do it with faith and full belief not the

play10:52

best at it admittedly so be better than

play10:54

me if you're listening right now and I'm

play10:56

starting to realize Chris that these

play10:57

maybe they're not linear but they seem

play10:59

to follow into each other so you started

play11:01

talking about the process in which

play11:02

you're having to ask somebody a question

play11:04

once you know who you serve and the

play11:06

problems you're trying to find and solve

play11:07

which I think leads us pretty smoothly

play11:09

into sales psychology which you touched

play11:11

on a little bit so what is sales

play11:13

psychology what do you mean when you say

play11:14

that term this is the second core

play11:16

essential yeah before we go in there Mo

play11:18

I want to do a couple different things

play11:19

one I want to credit who I heard it from

play11:21

who didn't invent it either but the

play11:24

person who said focus is follow one

play11:25

course until success is Aaron Peterson

play11:28

and he told me that I think six or seven

play11:30

years ago when we first hung out and

play11:31

it's it's a great way to remember the

play11:33

word Focus but focus is about limiting

play11:36

distractions it's about concentrating

play11:37

your energy your power your mind into

play11:39

one little thing I don't know about you

play11:42

Mo but when I was a kid I was like

play11:44

marveled that a piece of glass can set

play11:46

fire like it can create a fire literally

play11:48

by harnessing the power of the sun my

play11:50

young mind could not understand it back

play11:52

then my adult mind can understand now so

play11:54

I'm standing out in the sun but I'm not

play11:55

catching on fire but under a piece of

play11:57

glass that looks just like every other

play11:58

piece of glass for some reason I can

play12:01

torch an ant if I wanted to or I can

play12:03

burn a leaf or a piece of paper and

play12:04

quite literally set it on fire so we

play12:06

take the power to sun which is very

play12:08

powerful and we concentrate the light

play12:10

energy that is transmitted to us on a

play12:12

daily basis and we focus literally quite

play12:15

focused that power the light into one

play12:17

small surface area and by doing that

play12:19

we're able to start a fire and so in

play12:21

Alan dibs book he said a thousand watt

play12:23

light bulb will illuminate a room that's

play12:25

a very bright light but a thousand watt

play12:27

laser will punch a hole through steel so

play12:30

this is the power of Focus right and

play12:32

something that I've learned in in my

play12:34

life is that whenever I get an open

play12:36

creative brief which we all dream of

play12:37

having where the client says do whatever

play12:39

you want until you actually start to do

play12:41

whatever you want because then there's a

play12:43

myriad of options and you're like oh wow

play12:46

I'll do something photographic

play12:47

illustrative something modern or

play12:48

something classical maybe modern classic

play12:50

is what I want and you wind up spinning

play12:52

your wheels and it's very stress

play12:55

inducing versus a client says I want a

play12:57

clean modern design that's not

play12:59

figurative I just want it to be purely

play13:01

type based and my favorite typeface is

play13:02

helvetica and let's only use three

play13:04

colors and you might first hear that

play13:05

like this is terrible there's too many

play13:07

parameters what if I wanted to use cast

play13:09

on or some other typeface in fact as a

play13:11

designer having such a clear brief

play13:13

allows me to focus my energy and explore

play13:15

things that fit those parameters and

play13:17

allow me to play and most people who

play13:19

teach design understand this a great

play13:22

brief requires checklists and parameters

play13:24

what it must do and what it should be

play13:26

within too many checklists and it

play13:28

becomes stifling two open parameters and

play13:30

we don't know what to do and everybody

play13:32

comes up with something wacky and

play13:33

different so it's a combination of that

play13:35

Dr Holtzman who I hired periodically to

play13:38

consult me to teach better said it's

play13:39

like a parabolic lens all the energy

play13:41

that goes in gets redirected back out in

play13:44

one general direction and so this is the

play13:46

power of focus we can predict what

play13:47

people want we can write copy we can

play13:49

choose the right tone of voice and speak

play13:52

about the right benefits to the person

play13:54

versus like trying to figure out what

play13:55

everybody wants so good

play13:59

foreign
