6 Steps To Help People Get What They Want - So You Get Want You Want..

"If you help enough people get what they want, you’ll get what you want." Zig Ziglar

I have a friend who is close but I could never really find out what his passion is. In the past 8 months his life has been difficult for many reasons and so I spent time with him.

And as we talked, the conversation lead to how he doesn't know what he wanted to do now. He thought the job he had was the one but he felt that it didn't give him what he expected.

He said he could build a website and all, but what on and for what? What could he sell.

As he said these words, there were no excitement, passion but a thing to do. Then I had an idea. Maybe, if I could do what I do online, with keywords, research, the way I'm excited, can be shown offline too.
 

1. Take Interest In Your Prospect

On Saturday I took my friend to WHSMITH, which sells all sorts but it has a very large section of magazines.

"Just observe and tell me, which section is busy and it's full with magazines on the subject?"

That's when he saw, lots of people standing next to Body Building Magazines, Health Magazine and only a few in music section.

"Damn," he said, "not many people in the music section."
"Hang on now. That's just the first step. You got to go where the people who are into music and we got to go where people are serious, taking action, buying, investing, and not just window shopping.."

So I took him to five different music shops.

Some sold guitars, drum kits and gadgets for these stuff. Others were bigger, which sold painos, guitars and every kind of instrument you can think of.

Even stuff from different countries like Brasil and Africa.

And....the guitar section was packed.
 

2. Ask Questions and Let The Prospect Arrive At The Answer

There was only one person playing a piano and looked at it but the guitar section was brimmming. There was 32 people and we stayed for 15 minutes and watched one person walk out, three come in and straight to the guitar. Every two people that walked out..

BOUGHT a Guitar!

Then I asked the shop keeper, "I'm curious mate. Do you sell a lot of guitars."
"Oh yeah, every week. Saturdays, Thursdays and Tuesdays are best days."
"Which one sells the most then?"

He told me everything. I think he was glad someone asked his expertise. He told me which guitar, why they get that kind of guitar. The related stuff, belts, books and gadgets they get for the guitar.

People even travel from another city to check out the store and tells me which cities they come from. The age range, more male than females but females love Violines, Chello and he tells me how many they see.

My mate was gobsmacked but I haven't even started. I ask the man behind the reception one more question.

3. Find Out The Prospect's Passsion And Reason Why..

The guy also plays guitar and told me stories of childhood years and how he loved a certain band. It got him started especially with learning to play blues and soul music. It became an obession.

He told me what challenges he faced and what he wished he had at that time and even now. I listened as he shared how there's not enough of a community that come together in the city.

The Open Mics are closing down and there's only a couple of places where you can play live on stage for fun. The man told him everything he needs to know, the keywords, the language people use, the reason why they go for the different guitars and..

4. Create Your Own Community, Connect People Together And Give Value?

"If there was an Open Mic, every week, would you go to it?"
"Of course I would but I doubt anyone will set it up. I hear talk from some but they never do it."
"You never know, he might set one up."
"If you do, I'll tell all my other mates and there's at least 70 people I know who will turn up and serious to Jam."

5. What Mentorship is really about...

Just by going to these shops and even talking to customers, the guys behind the counter, my friend found out, a niche. He even had an idea of connecting all the pubs together, and creating a social guitar Open Mic.

People are hungry to be part of a community. My friend found out that he could also find related products, information books and even get these shops to sponsor the once a week event.

Creating his own blog and connect it with a group using Facebook.

Can you see how the way we think online can impact the lives of people offline too and even connect them online at the same time?

Before he left to go back home, he said something. Something he never told me.

He said...

"You know - I forgot what I wanted to really do. This has reminded me, on how I always wanted to lead people, get people together. It's something I always wanted to do. You know, be popular in city and doing it with music too. Get musicians together. It's what I always wanted as a kid but I was only one in family who played guitars and may mates weren't into it.

I just kind of pushed it at the back of my mind.."

Bingo! His reason WHY. It's emotional and it resurfaced.

6. Give Choices And Value Your Time

"How am I going to do this. I don't know where to start?"
"We'll find out together. Let's start at the begining next week."
"When?"
"Monday or Thursday, 6pm."
"Ok, erm, Thursday at 6pm."

One quote, which would sum this up even for Internet Marketing is this..

"If you help enough people get what they want, you’ll get what you want." Zig Ziglar
