I Refuse to Play His Game

My closer had an interesting call this week. 😅

A self-proclaimed “hypnotherapist” from NYC.

Now, I’ve coached plenty of hypnotherapists, psychotherapists, NLP practitioners, coaches…

You name it.

But this guy?

Unhinged is the polite word.

He tells my closer he’ll only sign up to my program if I…

1. Personally have a 1:1 meeting with him

2. Give him a free session

3. Prove my expertise right then and there

In other words:

“Dance for me, Pauline. Show me your tricks.”

😑

Then, as if auditioning for Conspiracy Theories Weekly, he launches into this bizarre tirade:

“I showed my mentor Pauline’s website… best website he’s ever seen… must’ve cost her $50K.”

“I looked at her socials… too polished… clearly she spends too much on marketing.”

“Obviously… she’s hiding something.”

Wait. What??

In his mind, having a world-class brand is proof that you’re bad at your job?

That’s like accusing Gordon Ramsay of being a terrible chef because his restaurant has Riedel glassware and linen tablecloths. 😆

But he wasn’t done.

“Testimonials? Pffft. They don’t count! People only give them in the height of emotion.”

Translation:

“Pauline’s brainwashing her clients into giving heartfelt, positive feedback.”

🤦

At this point my closer is bemused and amused.

And I can hardly blame him.

Because the mental gymnastics here could EASILY win an Olympic gold.

Then, with a nod of his head like he’d conveyed the main points he wanted to share, he arrived at his ultimatum:

Either I bend to his frame and prove myself.

Or no deal.

——-

“No deal mate.”

——

Because when you’re wired like this guy, and your nervous system only screams:

Cynicism.
Suspicion.
Contraction
Scarcity.

You can never attract clients.

You’ll only REPEL them.

And for the past 20 years…

I’ve built a reputation to attract some of the most successful, high-calibre entrepreneurs and leaders around the world.

High net worth.
Highly intelligent.
Highly discerning.

These aren’t people who are easily hoodwinked by shiny websites or slick marketing.

They’re too smart for that.

They work with me — and happily pay what they do — for one simple reason:

“Because I’m f*cking good at my job.” 😎

And word gets around.

So while this guy’s comments are a backhanded compliment…

Really, they’re just an insult to the intelligence of my clients!

Anyway.

The only hope this guy has of becoming truly magnetic…

Is to retrain his operating system.

And if you’re a little curious to see what that looks like…

Here’s exactly what I teach to high-functioning individuals who want to magnetise clients instead of repel them 👇

NUMINOUS>>>

In Love and Wisdom,
Pauline

P.S. After learning he did not qualify for NUMINOUS, here’s what the hypnotherapist had to say:

“I mean, this response sounds like a fear of competition.”

Impressive reverse psychology, right? 😆

P.P.S. On the off chance you’re reading this email, thinking:

“Oh sh*t. I am THAT hypnotherapist”…

Don’t sweat it.

I’ve dealt with worse insults in my 20+ years of business. Good luck to you.
