The Exact Words That Get People to Buy
21m | Oct 21, 2026Someone's interested in working with you, then asks: "What does it cost?" Most people dodge the question or throw out a number, and either answer can lose the deal.
In this video, I sit down with my friend Phil M. Jones, bestselling author of Exactly What to Say, to go through the exact words to use when a deal is on the line: the price question, a hesitant buyer, an objection, and a lead that's gone quiet. If you're great at what you do but you lose people in the conversation, this one's for you. You don't need clever one-liners. You need a method: help people feel smart, capable, and good, and always give them a clear next step.
