📸 Are photographers hiding secret sales wisdom from firearm instructors?
Picture this – I'm in my office, and there's this weird sound in the background.
No, it's not some tactical training exercise; it's my treadmill!
Yep, it's sweltering outside, so I decided to walk on the treadmill while I work. Gotta stay on top of my game, you know? 😉
But that's not even the most exciting part.
So, here's the deal – I stumbled upon Tim Shields, who is not your typical firearms instructor.
No, no, he's in a completely different world – photography!
Yeah, I know, you're probably thinking, "What does photography have to do with our firearm training business?"
That's exactly what I thought too.
But here's the twist – I was watching Tim's sales presentation, and it hit me like a well-aimed shot – this dude is a master storyteller! 🎥💡
Now, you might be wondering why I would be watching a photography presentation when I'm all about firearms. My goal was simple – I wanted to understand the strategy behind Tim's massive success in selling photography training. And boy, did I get more than I bargained for!
Something strange happened as I watched Tim share his pictures and videos of breathtaking landscapes and beautiful moments with his family. I felt an unexpected desire bubbling inside me. Suddenly, I wanted to take those cool pictures too! 📷🏞️
But here's the real gem – it wasn't about the photography. It was all about the power of storytelling! Tim's ability to weave captivating stories around his pictures created a desire within me that I didn't even know I had.
And that got me thinking – how can we, as firearm instructors, create that same desire in our perfect students? 💭💥
The answer lies in the heart of every successful sales pitch – storytelling!
It's not about listing the features of your courses or the number of rounds you'll fire.
Nah, that stuff doesn't ignite the fire within your potential students. It's the story, the narrative, the emotion that counts. That's the secret sauce to winning hearts and making sales. 🎯🌟
Remember Steve Jobs and his iconic iPod launch? He didn't just tout technical specifications; he crafted a compelling story around a thousand songs fitting into a tiny pocket!
Boom! 💣 That's storytelling in action, my friends.
So, here's the deal. In this episode, we will delve deep into the world of photographers and learn the weird, unconventional sales lessons they've been hiding from us. We'll explore how you can wield the power of storytelling to paint a vivid picture in your students' minds, creating a burning desire for your courses. 🎨🔥
I've got some epic takeaways, including my storytelling experience during a concealed carry class. You'll be amazed at how a simple story can connect with your students on a whole new level and boost your sales like never before! 💰💼
Oh, and before I forget, there's an exclusive opportunity you don't want to miss!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
