ShuHaRi - Developing Your Selling Style | EP421

When I started using the script, it felt very unnatural. Then, after some time, I started adapting it a little bit, and it became more comfortable, and my close rate continued to go up. Why? I had gone through the process of ‘SHUHARI,’ a concept in traditional Japanese martial arts that describes the stages of learning and mastery. It consists of three phases: SHU (守 - "PROTECT"): In this stage, the learner follows the teachings of a master without deviation. It involves learning the fundamentals and techniques precisely as taught. HA (破 - "DETACH" OR "BREAK"): In this intermediate stage, the learner starts to break away from tradition. They explore variations, modifications, and adaptations of the learned techniques. This phase encourages creativity and a deeper understanding of the art. RI (離 - "LEAVE" OR "TRANSCEND"): In the final stage, the learner transcends the teachings and forms their path. They have internalized the principles and are no longer bound by the specific teachings of a master. It's a stage of self-discovery and mastery.   #shuhari #sellingstyle
