No
one likes to be given unsolicited advice. How can you share your opinion without
being annoying? What questions should we ask?

Episode 35 of the Minisode series on a doctor's perspective
podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Justin Trosclair. There is a company called the
future with no II, the middle podcast for this will on the given advice. I
watched them randomly on YouTube talking about how to charge heavy prices for
logos like $28,000 type of thing. So obviously they're talking about value not
cash by an hour and they go to like objection then the bald guy, the last name
does and then they have a series as well. YouTube where they are rebranding
Hamilton beer, I believe. And then he has videos of him like going through
objections and how to present these high-value cases.

It was kind of fun just coming on that rabbit hole for a
little while for the podcast and I want to do a longer mini sewed was the
things that I learned from some of his presentations. But for now, I'm gonna
just critique a couple of his episodes here and there on our Minnesota series.
So let's get going.

So given advice number one, don't give unsolicited advice.
You know it's an annoying thing about when you get it, you're going through a
situation you just wanted somebody to listen to you. And now they talking
giving you all these answers you like please this is just shut up. Right?
Classic girl talks guy wants to help us you want to do with somebody listen to
him. And now you fight.

When you want to do when they started having these they're
dumping on you is asked questions to make the other person think, right kind of
Socratic method. So let's say you sell a vacuum. These are some of the
features, the only time you're going to close that vacuum. So as you get them
to describe their pain points and offer a solution. So that's kind of the
point. Especially like physical therapy, chiropractic, what do we saw activities
of daily living, we need to know about those things.

And really, that's kind of the selling points, you listen to
it, whatever they say, I can't stand all day for work, I can't sit long enough
to watch football. All right for them. That's their goal right there, they
can't do it. That's what they want. They don't care about their back pain, they
got a herniated disc, or what's wrong with them. They just want it better so
that they can do X, Y, and Z activity. And that's what we're going to give
them. And that's what you're selling.

Going back to unsolicited advice to people give you the same
advice. Why don't we take one and not the other? That guy at work? Who knows it
all might say the same thing that your brother told you, but you only listen to
your brother because he has your back. And you know, it's coming from a place
of love. For instance, let's say you are the person that gives advice. You know
who you are. And I'm guilty that too at times. Do you think you're being
helpful? You're the expert. So then why don't we get upset if they don't take
it? What's that about? Why is your ego in the way? It's funny because that's
how it you know, you've seen those with like, why don't you take my advice, you
told me the problem. I gave you a solution. Just take it

What I'm doing the DNA and that goes back to why do we take
someone's advice more than the other?
