KNOW WHEN TO PLANT THE SEED __________________________________ Overall, this conversation is going really well. He’s engaged, giving detailed responses, and clearly comfortable talking about sales. The main thing I’d adjust is introducing high-ticket sales a little earlier once you recognize that interest. For example, after mentioning that you’re in sales yourself, you could naturally mention high-ticket sales and let him become curious about what you’re doing. If he shows interest, that gives you an easy transition: “I actually have a good friend who could break it down way better than I can. Want me to connect you with him?” That makes the transition feel natural because you’re responding to his curiosity rather than suddenly pitching him.
