Speaker 1 (00:02 ):

Welcome to the Solarpreneur podcast, where we teach you to take your solar business to the next level. My name is Taylor Armstrong and I went from $50 in my bank account and struggling for groceries to closing 150 deals in a year and cracking the code on why sales reps fail. I teach you to avoid the mistakes I made and bringing the top solar dogs, the industry to let you in on the secrets of generating more leads, falling up like a pro and closing more deals. What is a Solarpreneur you might ask a Solarpreneur is a new breed of solar pro that is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve mastery and you are about to become one.

Speaker 2 (00:41 ):

What's going on Solarpreneurs, Taylor Armstrong here with another episode. And as usual, we are bringing the heat, helping you close more deals, generate more leads and referrals, and hopefully have a much better experience in the solar industry. Hope you're doing well. We're coming up in the Christmas season in here at the time of this recording, and we got a special episode. Something that I haven't done before, at least not in this kind of format. So excited to run through some gifts for solars. pretty cool episode. I don't know about you, but I love hearing about different, cool, like findings, cool gifts, especially one that pertain to like sales and that can help me just have a better experience in my sales game. And so I'm gonna go through a list of gifts that you can get from maybe your people on your team yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:40 ):

You can send it to your significant other, have he, or she pick up these things for you, whatever you wanna do with it. These are all gonna make awesome gift ideas or incentive ideas for your team rather. So let me know if you like these type of episodes. Again, I haven't really done one like this before, so before we jump, it wanted to give a quick shout out and thank you to a couple new reviews. Guys. If you haven't left me a review or shared the podcast, please, please, please. Especially if you listen to multiple episodes, come on, leave a review, go share it with someone. We, we do a lot, put a lot of effort, end up bringing rush content every week. That is the one ask that I have go drop us our review or share the podcast, tag me on Instagram and much appreciation tos that shot me their Spotify year in review.

Speaker 2 (02:39 ):

I'm honored to see that I am at the top of few of a few people's lists on the spot wrapped. You don't know what that is. That's Spotify basically summarizing your most listened to content throughout the year. So I'm honored to see Solarpreneur podcasts at the top of a few of those lists. I onto a few reviews. We have a CF Henry 72. He says, great resource. So I'm older, but new to the solar field work for a company who presets appointments, but I'm very interested in doing my own appointment setting. I've jumped to a 50% close since I started listing in the podcast. Super stoked about society as well. Thanks Taylor, and to all your guests. It's nice to hear you guys talk about the things I spend so much time thinking about. See a penny, appreciate it. Keep crushing up. My man.

Speaker 2 (03:31 ):

And then we got a sports master 92. I love sports as well. He says I listened to I for the first time last week, my team was in a slump and I made all my reps start listening and we have had a big turnaround that quickly have and will keep recommending appreciate that. So again, leave this review and much love, much appreciation to those that have already done that. That being said, let's jump in into this. Hey, and I'm gonna go through these gift ideas. These incentive ideas order I am kind of doing in them here is generally kind of more expensive to less expensive, higher value to lower value. Okay. So if you were looking to drop some bigger money, don't wanna listen to the beginning ones. If you're looking for the lower ticket items, then maybe skip to the end.

Speaker 2 (04:27 ):

And before we jump into these, I will say that all these are gonna be in the show notes. So if you're at the gym, if you're driving your area, whatever, don't worry about writing these down because you're gonna be able to just click the show notes, see links for all of these. It's gonna make it super easy to go check 'em out and go buy 'em for yourself or for your teams. And another, I guess, disclaimer, before we jump into these, they're not all necessarily sales related, but if you haven't noticed in the podcasts or if you Haven been in sales for a while now, there are a lot of aspects of your life that directly relate to how well you're gonna do in sales. If you're not taking care of your body, guess what? It's gonna affect your sales game. If you're not eating right, it's gonna affect your sales game.

Speaker 2 (05:17 ):

If you're not sleeping, right, your sales are not gonna be as, as they could otherwise. So keep that in mind as we go through these gifts, a lot of these things have to do with that, have to do with treating your body and just different aspects of your life. So let's jump into it. And the first one is actually sales related. Okay. And the first one I think is probably the most important gift you could give, and that is the gift of sales training. Okay. So number one, go get some sales training in the form of a society membership. Okay? Most, most economical sales training out there super affordable right now we're at 99 bucks a month. You can go and give yourself the gift of education, learn from top floor professionals and get, in my opinion, the best feature we have in the industry.

Speaker 2 (06:11 ):

And that is direct feed feedback from other sales coaches, recording self in your presentations and getting feedback sent straight to your phone. Okay. So that's number one, get yourself a society membership. And the other piece of this is just other sales training. So we have the door to door con coming up door, door conference, that's coming up next month. The time that recording in January, and as I've mentioned in the previous few episodes, we have a discount code. It's Armstrong D two D. That is another great incentive idea. Great gift idea. Give yourself the gift of networking and education from the best solar salespeople best or, or sales on the planet. Okay. So that's number one, get yourself some education. Number two, we got a S segue mini, or you can also get a S segue, scooter. Another thing I've mentioned a few times, you follow me on social media or been listening to the podcast for a while.

Speaker 2 (07:15 ):

I think having a segue is essential. And for me, it's not, not even so much just the efficiency part. Hey, you're zooming door to door. It's saving me you time. But the other piece of this, for me, it gets me in a much better mindset. If someone throws me off their doorstep, if someone slams a door on me, I know in my head, I'm gonna be happy zoom into the next door of my sway. So that's the dual purpose of it. Get your SEG. I think bees round about 500 bucks for the segway minis. The scooters are more expensive. I think they're 700 to a thousand and I do prefer the S segueway versus the scooter S segueway mini. The reason is, is because I'm holding my, my slicks, my folders, my qualification cards. I'm holding all that in my arms as I go to the next door.

Speaker 2 (08:08 ):

If I'm on a scooter, little difficult to be holding stuff in your hands and writing a scooter, maybe I'm just UN uncoordinated, but in my opinion, a little bit easier to have a SEG versus a scooter. So that's number two. Hey, number three, we got an R ring. I think I'm saying that right. Or a whoop band and keep in mind. I do not have, I don't own all these products. I would say probably about half of these on the list. Maybe a little more than half I own and use pretty frequently, but the others I've seen 'em going around. I've had, 'em recommended to me. They seem awesome to me and I'm gonna get 'em soon. So that's why I have 'em on this list. And I think they would make great, you know, gifts and incentives for your team. So number three an R ring, if you have not heard of that, it's a ring that you can wear these round.

Speaker 2 (09:04 ):

I think about 300 bucks you wear 'em and they tell you your heart rate. They tell you how much sleep you're getting. They tell you supposedly when you're sick and all these stats on your daily life, they give you, you know, your exercise stats, stuff like that. Pretty much breaks everything down tells you exactly how your body's functioning. And the other thing is a whoop band. It does essentially the same thing, but it's just a band. Now it's a little bracelet you wear. So I list them both. And the difference between 'em and ordering, I think is 300 bucks. And then you pay about six bucks a month to stay connected with a membership. The what band you pay, just the membership, but it is last. I checked about 30 bucks a month versus like the six bucks that you'd pay for the ING.

Speaker 2 (09:58 ):

So a little bit give and take, and then just a preference, I guess. Do you like wearing bands or do you like wearing rings? It looks like they both do pretty much the same thing. I don't have either of these. So maybe one is better have to hear from our audience. Hit me up if you have one or if you try both of 'em and you like one better than the other, I think this is super cool. Especially if you are knocking doors or if
