Chapter 3: The Mind Map all of us that just wants to smack ‘em on the fanny and
send them to bed without supper. Unfortunately, if your prospect happens to be
operating in the Ego phase, this is not a good option. Here the mind creates all
the self-serving “gimme, gimme, gimmes.” In Western society we exploit this mental
phase; much of our marketing is based on it. In fact, the Ego phase, “Youdeserve-a-
break-today” marketing mentality is a multi-billiondollar American industry. This
phase is best known to guerrillas as the “Do it my way now” phase. Your best
approach with Ego prospects is to be assertive, demonstrate your leadership and
don’t hold back. They want to know if you’re good enough for them to bother with.
Be smooth and positive. Let them know that you’re the best and that you represent
only the best.

Chapter 3: The Mind Map who’s certain “it can’t be done.” They also show up as
perfectionists. They are generally too rigid to deal with the complexities of life,
for which there can never be enough rules. Dishonesty takes the form of appeal to
higher authority. It’s been suggested that we should take teenagers right out of
high school and put them into the White House, the Congress, and the Pentagon,
while they still really do know everything! Authority phase people are not
satisfied for very long because they’ve relinquished responsibility for their
actions and relationships, turning them over to the “experts.” Because of this, the
Authority mind often invents strategies that endlessly move most of them in and out
of the other phases. Guerrillas refer to these folks “Your Honor” or “His
Lordship.” Your best approach with Authority prospects is to avoid friendly
gestures and stick to the facts. Appeal to systems, logic, and quoted sources.

Chapter 3: The Mind Map businesses, factories and schools. We often don’t hear of
them, but we feel the difference their maturity makes. Many of them stand out in
history, not as celebrities, but as catalytic figures who made superhuman
contributions. In our own time certain personalities come to mind, Mother Theresa,
Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi, Albert Einstein, perhaps Mikhail Gorbachev. These
Universal people include the great teachers and the great moral leaders who guide
us to new understandings. The guerrilla constantly strives to operate out of the
highest possible phase. By basing all of their relationships on first principles,
they demonstrate leadership. This instills confidence in the mind of the prospect.
They will like you, trust you and want to do business with you, because of who you
are. Not your affiliation or your image, but your true identity shows through, and
they will stand in line to buy from you.

Chapter 3: The Mind Map They take full responsibility for the situations in which
they find themselves. Best Approach: stress community good. The Universal Phase of
maturity is expressed by those who constantly reach their highest potential, by
living a principled life, balancing the right and left minds. This is the phase of
one who finds peace and success in every aspect of life. Freedom, Empowerment and
Ecstasy are their hallmarks. Best Approach: relax, just tell your story.

Chapter 6: The Budget Stage Guerrillas attack money matters head on, with
frankness, openness, and creative options, and help their prospects better
understand their own needs and financial priorities. This flank assault gives them
the tactical advantage of knowing that finances will not suddenly become an issue.

Then the guerrilla then takes the time to write a carefully worded cost/benefit
analysis for the Phase Four, Authority production manager of the same company who
is externally motivated, specific, and reactive. A “Thank You” card goes to the
Phase Three, Pleaser division manager who is specific, externally motivated and
reactive, itemizing all the little things done to facilitate the presentation.
Another short note is sent to the Phase Two, Ego sales manager who is general,
proactive, and externally motivated, congratulating him on the success of his idea.
In this way, guerrillas cultivate a favorable motivational environment for their
product or service.
The first three stages (NBC) give you insight into prospects’ priorities and
criteria, and you’ve been listening carefully to diagnose their preferred patterns
of communication. Now the guerrilla uses that information to match the presentation
to the prospect.

Chapter 8: The Presentation Stage care, and will it be apparent that they are
always going to give more than the competition. This bit of internal questioning
will safeguard you as a Principled salesperson. Remember, everything you do
communicates some message. By targeting the communication needs of your prospects
and responding in a way that fits their wants and needs, you make your proposal
easy for them to understand, accept, and act upon. That’s the hallmark of a
guerrilla salesperson. Okay, now you’ve reached the end of your personalized
presentation and you’ve shown how your product matches your client’s criteria and
priorities. Time for you to shift your posture and take a deep breath as you move
into the Fifth Stage of NaB & CaPTuRe.

Chapter 9: The Transaction Stage errors is overshooting the close, missing that
magic moment when they’re ready to say “yes”. The guerrilla breaks the decision
down into small enough pieces making it easy for them to decide. Perhaps the most
astonishing characteristic about guerrillas is that they don’t consider themselves
to be expert closers, but instead cause their prospects to become expert at
closing.
