What Happens when we open our Prospect’s Imagination?
What would happen if we start with great opening first sentences? that Prospects would lean forward and make instant YES decisions.
What would happen if we start with a second sentence. Prospects would be thinking about the bad first sentence to hear anything good in our second sentence.
We all start with a first sentence. This is where prospects make instant decisions about us. So we have to think hard before opening our mouths.
Prospects need to see the benefits of our offers. We need to build a vision in the prospects’ minds of what our products, services and opportunities can do for them.
Imagination is a great tool. Weaving the benefits of our offers in the prospect’s imagination with a great first sentence makes the prospect lean forward and pay attention.
“What would happen if…” is a magical first sentence that opens the prospect’s imagination. It sells the benefits of our offers.
Our formula is “What would happen if…” plus a benefit.

Start with a simple first sentence “What would happen if…” and then add a benefit of our offers. Let the prospect imagine the possibilities and talk… and sell themselves before our second sentence.
