Sales Tip

D.I.C.T.A.T.E

1/ “Start with a hang nail, then get them to Prosthetics.com” - JC

I first learned about this mnemonic device from the great sales trainer, John Costigan.

D (details) “That’s interesting. Can you tell me more about that?”

I (interval) “How long has this been going on?”

C (Cost) “What do you think that has cost you? Time? Frustrations?”

T (Try & 10) “Have you tried to fix it?” “From 1-10, where’s it at now?”

A (A$$) “Who’s a$$ is on the line the most?”

T (Timing) “When would you like this completed by?”

E (Emotions) “How has this impacted you and your role?

Writing Tip

Apple Journal

1/ Making the habit of daily writing effortless

At the end of 2023, Apple launched Journal.

Originally, I ignored it as I built a journal in Notion. (you can check it out here)

But, I gave it a try and was honestly blown away.

It curates suggestions to help you remember moments like:

  • Places you visited

  • Photos or videos taken

  • Songs or Podcasts you listened to

Below is a screenshot of a recent trip to NYC.

The locations and pics were automatically curated for me, so all I had to do was write a few lines to capture the memories from the trip.

I’d highly suggest checking it out if you haven’t already.

Visual Tip

Skecthnote Mini Workshop

1/ People process images 60,000x faster than text alone

Many of you know, I’m a big fan of using whiteboarding and visuals notetaking.

Below is one of the first workshops I caught on the practice of Sketchnoting.

P.S. The app he uses in this workshop is called Paper by WeTransfer and is my favorite
