Suddenly I was introduced to self-hypnosis and my sales career without delay changed.I had never dreamed I could become a millionaire salesman. A client from England that I sold a house to was a professional hypnotist. He invited me to 3 free sessions. After the sessions he taught me how the subconscious mind overrides the conscious mind. No wonder why my new career in insurance didn't take off until hypnosis started kicking in. On my lengthy last visit with him, he showed me now I could apply self-hypnosis on myself. In addition this professional hypnotist made me a tape 15 minutes long, in my own voice, instructing my subconscious mind on what I goals I wanted to achieve. For the process to become increasingly effective, I found a quiet spot and played this tape five days a week. I felt invigorated and charged up in a permanent very mild trance. This deep relaxation tape enforced positive thoughts. By destroyed all the sales butterfly jitters and doubts, I replacing them with a jumbo shot of of confidence and anxiety to start on my goals. Positive conscious suggestions were pushed out, overcome by the strong subliminal messages I was guiding my mind to provide. The subconscious mind determines most of what you do. Using self hypnosis, the process is keep sub (below the radar level-secret) from your thinking I first used my self hypnosis 35 years ago. In my 1st insurance office, almost 35 years ago, writing $3,000 of premiums in a month was consistently done by only one agent. I set in my subconscious mind to sell as much insurance as him or more. By the 20th of the month my initial goal had been exceeded .and at the end of the month I topped the sales leader board. I learned that if I set a realistic sales goal, and applied self hypnosis it was almost assured. The subconscious mind determines most of what you do. Using self-hypnosis, the process is keep sub (below the radar level-secret) from your thinking. To stay effective with self-hypnosis, I have kept this practice going over 35 years. First I became much bolder on following up on my leads. One week later I used self-hypnosis to boost selling to a new level. Suddenly I was running near a 70% closing average. Without setting a single appointment, I opted to just knock on a prospects door, and do a simple presentation. Staying relaxed was an automatic side benefit of self hypnosis. Effectively I worked on my prospects trained reaction to think no.To turn it around, I often said "well maybe you can't afford it" statement in my presentation before a closing objection could come up. I knew most prospects have their conscious minds ready to be told they can certainly afford it. Using the opposite effect would alter their conscious thinking process. My goals increased. To be a top insurance salesman I would have to become a millionaire. That doesn't mean 20 years of earning $50,000. A sales millionaire meant achieving personal assets in excess of $1,000,000. Having a million dollars net, meant paying off all existing loans and bills, plus the heavy income tax imposed on my earnings. Starting on a Monday morning and working no evenings I wanted to test my abilities to the max. I started out by being well self-hypnotized. I took with me about 50 prospect cards, only of them "leads". That was back in the old days, 30 long years ago. Without appointments I saw 25 prospects and made 31 straight sales of all sizes. Not a single strikeout. With over $20,000 premium and much of it in annual cash payments, I decided to stop. I had accomplished and achieved that week's goals in just four days.$13,000 in commissions. It does not always take an entire sales career to become a true millionaire. I proved this by having my assets worth a $1,000,000 in a few years. My methods broke all traditional rules. While my average policy size was not gigantic, my closing ratio stayed incredible. I did not wear a suit or tie or carry a briefcase. My cars were snazzy new Camaros, and I quit losing opportunities by trying to make appointments. Be careful with self-hypnosis, if you learn this simple practice. There is one danger in programming yourself to achieve a certain goal. Since you are bound to achieve it, before applying self-hypnosis, ask yourself if it is good for your mind and body to do whatever it takes. How else did I use self-hypnosis to earn my first million dollars (after taxes) even quicker? I programmed in my self session this reminder: To become a millionaire salesman, do the complete opposite of what company trained salespeople are doing.
