3. Play to Win

Do you know Clinton Swaine
or Frontier Trainings?

His philosophy is that we retain better what we
learn through games...


Let’s have some fun!
• Pair up with someone (NO 3s allowed)
• Decide who will be ‘A’ (for Amazing) &
who will be ‘B’ (for Brilliant)
• ‘A’s pull out largest £Note you’ve got, &
give it to ‘B’s
• ‘B’s put the money somewhere out of sight
• ‘A’s, please leave the room


All ‘A’s please leave the room!


‘B’s Briefing
• ‘A’s MUST ASK 6 Times for their money
• Ignore non-business requests
• Say ‘No’ to the first 5 requests
• Say ‘Yes’ on 6th Request, hand over the
money & be silent ...for the sake of
everyone else


Rules for ‘A’s
• Do NOT touch your partner
• Do NOT touch your partner’s stuff
• You cannot ask anyone else to touch your
partner or their stuff
• You have 5 minutes to get your money
back


What are the lessons?
• Do we get what we want first time?
• Does getting angry/sulky help?
• Is begging a good idea?
• Don’t take rejection personally
• It takes 5-7 points of contact to close a
sale


What will you take away?
Stay focused!
Persistence pays!
Keep it simple!
Ask 6 times for exactly what you want!
