3. Play to Win

Do you know Clinton Swaine

or Frontier Trainings?

His philosophy is that we retain better what we

learn through games...


Let’s have some fun!

• Pair up with someone (NO 3s allowed)

• Decide who will be ‘A’ (for Amazing) & who will be ‘B’ (for Brilliant)

• ‘A’s pull out largest £Note you’ve got, & give it to ‘B’s

• ‘B’s put the money somewhere out of sight

• ‘A’s, please leave the room


All ‘A’s please leave the room!


‘B’s Briefing

• ‘A’s MUST ASK 6 Times for their money

• Ignore non-business requests

• Say ‘No’ to the first 5 requests

• Say ‘Yes’ on 6th Request, hand over the money & be silent ...for the sake of everyone else


Rules for ‘A’s

• Do NOT touch your partner

• Do NOT touch your partner’s stuff

• You cannot ask anyone else to touch your partner or their stuff

• You have 5 minutes to get your money back


What are the lessons?

• Do we get what we want first time?

• Does getting angry/sulky help?

• Is begging a good idea?

• Don’t take rejection personally

• It takes 5-7 points of contact to close a sale


What will you take away?

Stay focused!

Persistence pays!

Keep it simple!

Ask 6 times for exactly what you want!
