It’s a psychological principle that people’s desire for things increase in relation to its scarcity.

3. A Cold Caller Destroyed, Then Coached- Episode 269
I received the coldest of cold calls, where the rep made four fatal mistakes in just the opening sentences, then it got worse. Sadly, it’s typical of some of the nonsense that is taught about prospecting.
Instead of just getting rid of the clueless caller, I used it as an opportunity to coach him on what could and should have been said to create interest and engage.
Hear what you should avoid, and do, on prospecting calls to take out the “cold,” make them Smart, and actually have meaningful conversations with curious, interested buyers.

5. How to Respond when They Say “Not Now”- Episode 270
When a prospect or customers says, “The timing isn’t right, right now,” what should you do?
What you should NOT do is just offer to call back at future date. That could just move the next brush off further out.
We do want to figure out, first, if they are or would be a buyer, why the timing isn’t right, and get commitment that they will buy in the future.
You’ll hear exactly how to do this, along with messaging examples you can use and adapt.
