If you're new to my channel, my name is Alex Hormozi. I'm the founder and managing partner of Acquisition.com. It's a family office, which is just a formal way of saying we invest our own money into companies. Our 10 portfolio companies bring in over $250,000,000+ per year. Our ownership stake varies between 20% and 100% of them. Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I'll give you some stuff you can google to verify below.

How I got here…

21: Graduated Vanderbilt in 3 years Magna Cum Laude, and took a fancy consulting job.
23 yrs old: Left my fancy consulting job to start a business (a gym).
24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations.
26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything.
26 yrs old: Got back to launching gyms (launched 33). Then, lost everything for a 2nd time.
26 yrs old: In desperation, started licensing model as a hail mary. It worked.
27 yrs old: "Gym Launch" does $3M profit the next 6 months. Then $17M profit next 12 months.
28 yrs old: Started Prestige Labs. $20M the first year.
29 yrs old: Launched ALAN, a software company for agencies to work leads for customers. Scaled to $1.7mmo within 6 months.
31 yrs old: Sold 75% of UseAlan to a strategic buyer in an all stock deal.
31 yrs old: Sold 66% of Gym Launch & Prestige Labs at $46.2M valuation in all-cash deal to American Pacific Group. (you can google it)
31 yrs old: Started our family office Acquisition.com. We invest and scale companies using the $42M in distributions we had taken + the cash from the $46.2M exit.
32 yrs old: Started making free content showing how we grow companies to make real business education accessible to everyone (and) to attract business owners to invest or scale their businesses.
34 yrs old: I became co-owner of https://Skool.com, which is a platform for people to build communities online, making a living doing what they love, with people like them.
36 yrs old: I did a $106M book launch selling 3.6M copies of my $100M Money Models book, in 72 hours, breaking the Guinness world record for the fastest selling non-fiction book of all time.

Today: Our portfolio now does $200M/yr between 10 companies. The largest doing $100M/yr the smallest doing $5M per year. Our ownership varies between 20% and 100% ownership of the companies. Many of them we invested in early and helped grow (which is how we make our money - not youtube videos).

To all the gladiators in the arena, we're all in the middle of writing our own stories. The worse the monsters, the more epic the story.

You either get an epic outcome or an epic story. Both mean you win.

Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.

Never quit,

Alex

Who's pumped about sales? Sort of pumped about. Okay. So, quick question so I can cater this to you guys. Um, as I try and tell my team sometimes, I'm going to talk fast. You can just listen fast. So, um, who here has one person or less? That would mean if you are selling um, doing the majority of the sales in your company. Can I get a hand raised? Okay. So, like half. Okay, that's perfect. And the other half of you have a sales team, multiple two or more, right? Okay. So the name of my lovely talk um is going to be the closer framework. All right. And so what I'm going to do is break this up into two halves. The first half is how you actually manage the conversation. That should say work. You get the idea. Closer framework. Um and then the second half is how you manage the sales team so you can get wicked consistent sales on a monthly basis. Um, so first things first, who here has ever struggled with uh inconsistent lead quality, inconsistent CAC, right? You're like, I thought I was at a thousand and now I'm at 3,000. My leads are [ __ ] Actually, my leads are amazing. Uh, my sales team is underworked. Now they're overworked. They said there's too many, there's too few, they're not being efficient, etc. Has anyone dealt with any of that stuff? Okay, cool. So, um, I've run a lot of sales teams, u B2B. We did outsource a sales company. We would fly two gyms, actually sell for them. we'd fill them up in 30 days um with us actually flying people out and selling. So we've done a lot of sales and this is the simplest framework that you can use um and so this is the first of the five C's. So I try to use Marcus as 5C so when you go home you've got 10 C's. Okay. So um the first one it governs the conversation. So that's kind of for everyone who was raising your hands about I've got one person or it's me. This is the governing framework for how you make the conversation. see is you clarify why the person is there. All right? Now, when you use this framework, everything that's in your framework has to be a question only. Do not put paragraphs, do not put statements because they will start reading them. They can't think that way. Only put questions because they can pause, they can ask another question. question, and they need no intelligence to do that, which means it's scalable. Okay? So when you're asking, so all of these buckets are the buckets under which you want to create the framework that you're making your sale. So it's like what made you get on the call? What's your goal? Why is that important to you? What would it look like 12 months from now if this ideal outcome were to be achieved? Right? Those are the clarification questions. Next, you label them with a problem. So what I'm hearing is you've done X, Y, and Z, and the missing link has been X whatever. Is that right? Yes. Got it. I now have a problem. you now have cancer. I can cure it. All right. Next is O. We're going to overview the pain. Okay. So, I'm assuming not the first person you've come to try and solve this problem. So, what have you done in the past? All right. I've done X, Y, and Z. Why did that not work for you? Obviously, it didn't work cuz they're on the phone with you. All right. So, you always have that advantage because they are on the phone with you right now. So, you're overviewing past pain. We call it the pain cycle. You do that until they

### [2:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmh7p1s7zs&t=178s) overview the pain

have nothing left and you're like, "Awesome. " And then you recap the pain. Then, s you sell the vacation. This is the only thing that your salespeople have to actually know. There's going to be three stories that you're going to tell them. They're going to be illustrative of the thing that you were helping them solve. So, an example would be fitness, nutrition, and accountability. If I was trying to sell weight loss, right? You're usually missing one or two

### [3:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmh7p1s7zs&t=201s) sell the vacation

or all three of these things. That's why you weren't successful, right? You couldn't consistently work out. You couldn't consistently eat the right way or no one was there to hold you accountable. Does that make sense? Yes. If you're selling leads, it would be like you need your leads to be exclusive. You need them to be timely. geographic. Whatever. Like, you're going to find three things and then you have to give a short 30-cond snippet of why that's important. Right? If I was trying to illustrate accountability, I'd be like, "Hey, did your parents ever tell you to brush your teeth when you grow up? " You probably hated it. You're like, "No, I don't want to. " And they kept doing it over time. And I'll bet you brush your teeth now. Right? You need someone to hold you accountable so you can create the habit. Does it make sense? 30 second story. They understand it. That's how you sell a vacation. All right. E. explain away their concerns. Away concerns, blah blah, you get the point. All right, that's where you're doing all of your obstacle overcomes. All right, crazy people buy without obstacles. Normal people have concerns. You need to overcome them. These have to be drilled. All right, they So that means that you have flash cards like I need to think about it. I have to talk to my husband. I have to check with my partner. I have to So there's only three, by the way, if you don't know what they are. It's price, it's stall, it's decisionmaker. All right. So, all you have to do is understand what each of those three are. If it's price, it's a discrep discrepancy in value. They don't understand the value. If it's um decision maker, what you have to do is rely on past agreements that are implied that person has already communicated to the partner. So, your partner knows that you're struggling with these things already, right? They know that you're looking for a solution, right? So, why do you think they'd be opposed with you solving the problem that you already know you have that they don't agree with? Right? Overcoming. Okay? Those have to be drilled. Next one um is uh so we did decision maker we did price and stall right all you're doing is teaching someone to make a decision because people don't like making them because they fear making a mistake right perfect halfway through okay so what you're going to do is walk them through a decision-m process so how do we make decisions either do you like me yes or no do you like the product think that we'll be able help you achieve this outcome yes or no do you have access to this amount of money in your bank account or know someone who does yes or no? Yes.

### [5:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmh7p1s7zs&t=327s) walk them through decision making process

What card do you want to use? Right. Overcome. You make them confront the decision. All right. What's your main concern? Then they tell you main concern. You overcome it. Close. All right. Last one is reinforce the decision and I like doing this and we included it after time is that people back out, right? So, how can we slam it on them? How can we get them super pumped? So immediately afterwards, that's the 30 secondond video from the founder be like, "Hey, just saw you sign up for our software. Super excited to have you by name, personalized, handwritten card, t-shirt, any of those things. Reinforce the decision. Make their feet nice and hot. " Make sense? That's the closer framework. Every single one of these buckets has to be questions that are simple for them to ask. All right? So, when you're organizing your script, this is the conversation we're going through. Does that make sense to everybody? Okay. That is the first of the five C's. Don't worry, the other ones are fast, and it's about how you manage your sales team. Okay, don't worry. I'll be fast. So, that's closer. The next one is

### [6:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmh7p1s7zs&t=386s) organizing your script

Don't worry, I'm rocking. We're good. Okay, the next one. I should know these. That's okay. Call recordings. And then I'm going to I'm just going to write these down real quick for you so you can write them down. Comms, cut, competition. Okay, so Marcus is much smarter than me. I think he's like the really classy person. Um, this is like from the streets closing 4,000 people, one-on-one sales, like weight loss. Susie's writing with, you know, her kids trying to write permanent marker on the wall and I'm trying to close her credit card. All right, so closer sequence is how you manage the framework. Call recordings. If you're not recording every single [ __ ] call that your people are on, one, you're not compliant. Two, you should do it because then they become more accountable to following the script. All right, you also overview those. The tool that you need to use is Gong. If you use if you guys sell via Zoom, it's the [ __ ] best. It's all I can say. Use Gong. It's amazing. All right, comms. You need to talk to your team on a regular basis. All right, the cadence there is daily huddles, weekly one-on- ones, and when you do the and then obviously monthly, but the um the daily huddles are quick. All you do is you share testimonials so they remember why they're selling. So they get beat up

### [7:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmh7p1s7zs&t=461s) talk to your team on a regular basis

every single day with nos. They need to remember why they're still doing it. All right. From the one ones that you're doing when you're meeting with them, you're going to record, you're going to have them tag you in three calls. Their best call, their worst call, and their average call. When you go over in the 101's, you're going to ask them to show you where they clarified the problem, where they outlined the pain, and then where they asked for the sale and where they overcame objections. If they never clarify the pain and they never asked for the sale, you don't make money. So that way they always know that on every [ __ ] call you always ask for the sale. You can never make a sale if you never ask for it. All right, that's what you from the communication cadence cut. You got to cut the bottom. All right, it's the number one thing that will drive sales teams is by cutting the bottom 10% you do it on a regular basis. It has to be All right, even if the team is going okay, when you cut the bottom, you'll see a 30% jump in productivity every time. So if you can have a persistent 30% jump, why would you not do that? Does that make sense? Okay. Competition. Last point. I'm good. I got a minute 20. Okay. So, competition. Sales people are competitive. You have to have a leaderboard that is published that they can see every single day that they get notified when every other guy is making a sale. If it's super high volume, it could be end of day. But when they you've got a bell if you're in person. If you're not in person, you have a thread that should be all the sales guys dinging. They can literally send an image or a GIF of a bell. So, it's like ring the bell, right? So that they know and it's just volume. they can see it. There's activity, there's action, right? It's all of momentum. So, leaderboard that has to be checked every day. Has to be updated regularly. Like that has to be on point. And then competitions, we found that six weeks works best. Um, in terms of sending them on like closers, go to Vegas or go to the Bahamas or whatever it is. And so, we put them in threeman teams and that tends to work really well because that they share best practices, they continue to work with each other, they root for each other. So, it's not as cutthroat um as just always having top dog. Um and in terms of how much to spend on that, uh 25% of one month check um is usually the amount per person that a prize like that would be, right? So, if your guys make 70, you might spend 1,500 bucks to send per guy for like a three-day or like a two-day weekend. It's not expensive, five grand, but it is worth every dollar. So, to recap, if you want really, really consistent sales, use a closer framework. Everything has to be questions. Do not have statements. Have 30 secondond stories. Record your calls. Make sure you're sticking to the comm cadence. Cut the bottom percentage and keep it competitive so they stay in it. Thank you.
