367 - 5 Steps to Getting New Clients

Author: Victor Antonio July 24, 2021 Duration: 2:45

When trying to get a client to switch to your product (or service), you have to understand the resistance to change...in order to get them to change.

Here's a simple META framework that highlights the Top 5 things you need to address to acquire a client from your competitor:

M.oney (cost of switching)

E.ffort (required to switch)

T.ime (investment and delays due to switching)

A.doption and/or A.cceptance (will people/employees/team members use it)

And lastly, but MOST important is ER = Emotional Risk. Your internal champion or influencer is worried about what will happen to them/their career if the switchover fails.

In your presentations or demos, you need to address and assuage all 5 of these concerns in order to get them to switch.


Victor Antonio hosts the Sales Influence Podcast, a resource for professionals navigating a marketplace where customers arrive armed with more information and inherent doubt. The core of the conversation revolves around a central idea: "Finding the Why in How Clients Buy." This isn't about rehearsed pitches or pressure tactics. Instead, episodes dissect the underlying psychological drivers and decision-making processes that actually lead to a purchase. Antonio leverages insights from consumer behavior research and neuromarketing, translating complex studies into practical strategies. Listeners will hear how subconscious biases, emotional triggers, and cognitive shortcuts shape buyer journeys, providing a framework to connect and persuade with greater integrity and effectiveness. The discussions are grounded in real-world application, aiming to equip salespeople, entrepreneurs, and business leaders with a deeper understanding that moves beyond traditional methods. This podcast operates on the premise that influence stems from empathy and insight, not just presentation. By exploring the science behind the sale, it offers a thoughtful perspective for anyone in a role that requires convincing others, making the content relevant across the business and entrepreneurship spectrum. Tune in for analysis that reframes how you think about your client's motivations and your own approach to the commercial conversation.
