I obviously had no clue what the briefcase technique was because I didn’t even see the briefcase

Amazing technique though! If I were the client and you did that technique to me, not only would I be very impressed that you knew my business so well but I would also feel compelled to give you my business because you showed me you took the time to learn and understand my business.

That’s something very important I think.

This sounds great! I am looking forward to the webcast.

Hello Ramit,

So the video won’t be recorded? I would be very interested but i’m from spain, 9 time zones away!!! I just cannot be up at 4am! Is there no roundabout way?

Thank you

Maren Kate

Alfonso

I just finished your book and was motivated to finally invest my savings in a lifecycle fund…until I received the latest edition of The Economist. Now, I am hesitating.
The cover story claims that the American stock market is “still nearly 50% overvalued on the best long-term measure, which adjusts profits to allow for the economic cycle, and is on par with two of the four great valuation peaks in the 20th century, in 1901 and 1966.” It then suggests that there is no reason to believe that the stock market will definitely continue its upward trend of the last 70 years: “The NASDAQ trades at half the level it reached during the dot-com mania.” Similarly, “the Japanese stock market still trades at a quarter of the high it reached 20 years ago.” What is to say that the American economy will not exhibit a similar decline?
How safe am I investing my hard-earned savings (long-term) in a life-cycle fund?

Well it reminds me of preparing for an interview and how to sell yourself to the employer’s LOL. I don’t know if there’s more to it but it’s kinda good technique i’ve seen in you video.

This tip reminds me of what a good car salesman does. They keep telling you about the features, not the cost. Get you sold on the product (or service), then and only then once the client knows it is what they want, price.

Ramit,
Reporting back.

I came up with a “Top Ten List of Things That Need Changing Now” for the company’s website.

During the meeting, I gave it to the lady who was interested in hiring me. She could not stop reading it. Seriously, she was ignoring the other people present in the meeting while voraciously reading every bit of the advice I had in the piece.

Plus, all the things I said needed fixing were included in my proposal.

Keep up the good work.

P.S.
Just read 4HWW and it seems that much of your writing is based on his principles. Love that book.

Really a great article! Nice post! This type of advice is applicable not just for sales but simply accomplishing something you want, demonstrating you’ve thought over & beyond the expectations is what will make you successful!

Hi Ramit, any chance you could post the document you pulled from the briefcase, names changed for confidentiality perhaps? It would be really interesting to see the kind of analysis you would need to make to really address an organization’s needs.

Brilliant. This is another manifestation of the “Craigslist Penis Effect”. Why be any thing else than brilliant at what you’re supposed to be doing. Your doing it anyway, why suck at it?

Justin

Yeah I just found it today and was hoping to see it too :-/ Oh well- I’ll pay more attention from now on!

Pete

Sheer genius. Thank you for sharing.
