Clients’ Believability Scale (C.B.S.)

One of the most powerful statements that Chinese philosopher Confucius ever made as it relates to YOUR presentations was the following:

“I hear, and I forget; I see, and I remember; I do, and I understand.”

As you can see in the graphic below, the C.B.S is displayed as a stoplight, with red, yellow, and green sections. This color-coordination represents the tactics you are using and lets you quickly identify progress and professionalism—or lack thereof.

  1. Understand the psychology behind the CBS. Green means you are at the HIGHEST level of believability. Red means STOP that activity!
  2. Implement the C.B.S. tactics in all presentations, all face-to-face encounters, over the phone, in webinars, over video, Skype, etc.
  3. Print out this high-resolution graphic and place it in a visible place in your office.
  4. The high-resolution version can be loaded on Facebook as a photo.
  5. Sales managers—forward to your sales teams.
  6. Forward this page to all salespeople you know–they will gain an advance in their sales!
  7. Remember chuckbauer.com/cbs for latest version.

Congratulations on taking the next step to furthering your income!

Your Younger Self Do you remember what you were like the first day you started in sales? Can you picture yourself in your office or cubicle?

New Year’s Resolutions Not too long ago, you probably made some promises to yourself. Maybe you called them resolutions, maybe you called them adjustments, maybe you called it a fresh start.

Use Visual Impressions to Advance Your Sales

Sales Are About Making An Impression. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a lot of great salespeople through the years. But it always stands out when you meet a true sales master. You’ve been in a boring, dry sales office before. There’s no personality, no pizazz. Nothing. Just a plain professional desk. Some paperwork.
