The Landmark Sales Cheat Sheet

Who you're being on the call matters more than what you say on the call.

Before Every Call

3-Question Reset

  • What story am I already telling about this person? Name it. Set it aside.
  • What do I actually want FOR them — not just from them? Get clear.
  • What's one declaration I can make? Commit to something real.
On the Call

Ask One More Question

  • "What's made this a priority right now?"
  • "What happens if nothing changes in 6 months?"
  • "What have you already tried?"
  • Then shut up. Let them talk. Really listen.

"Prospects don't buy the best product. They buy the person they trust most."

👂

Already-Always Listening

You're not hearing them. You're hearing your filter. Stop predicting. Start listening like it's the first time.

🔁

Your Racket

If your complaint is "people don't see my value" — you'll keep proving it right. See the story. Drop it. Choose differently.

🗣️

Declare, Don't Pitch

"I'm committed to getting your business set up so you never lose another lead." That's a declaration. It creates certainty.

Objection Handler — The Landmark Way

Hear the real thing under the safe thing

"I need to think about it." →"What part would be most helpful to think through together right now?"
"It's too expensive." →"Compared to what? What's the cost of the problem you're solving?"
"I'm already working with someone." →"What's working great? What's still missing?" — then actually listen.
"Now's not a good time." →"When would be? I'll put it on the calendar right now."
Silence / vague response →Don't fill it. Say: "Take your time." Then wait. Silence is not a no.
Closing Move

Make a Promise. Keep It.

End every call with a specific promise:

"I'm sending you [X] by [specific time]."

Then do it. On time. Every time. This alone separates you from 90% of salespeople.

The Real Question They're Asking

Can I trust this person?

Not: "Is this the best deal?"
Not: "Is this the cheapest?"

Trust. That's the whole game. You build it by showing up clean, listening fully, and doing what you said.
