Prospect: I am new in stock market. I got your number from Mr. XXXX. I want to learn stock market. How much brokerage you take?
Me: What you want from stock market?
Prospect: Sorry, that's not my question.
Me: I am here to "GIVE-a-good-experience" in stock market. Not to "TAKE-a-high-brokerage". There's a difference between GIVE & TAKE.
So I don't discuss brokerage but be rest assured it will be less than what I give.
My reason for asking the question is
I wanted to know what I can give you.
"If you are coming to stock market to give me brokerage or save brokerage. I may not be helpful"
"But If you want other things like returns more than FD, Financial freedom, passive income etc, let's connect to explore that how I can help you or give you good experience?"
Prospect: Okay, let's meet.
Present (After four years)
Client (Not prospect) : I always remember our first conversation. That changed my business too. It's was free peice of advice to me which gave a lot of value to me and my business. "The more I give in to my client.The more I get"
I asked you brokerage question because you are stock broker but now realised you have been my mentor too.
Me: Thank you for making me realise "my words make difference". I have learnt many things from you too.
