How to Sell a Helicopter — cover
🎯

Who this book is for

  • You sell (or want to sell) tickets with an extra zero: aircraft, real estate, heavy equipment, luxury goods, investment products.
  • You already close deals, but feel you hit a ceiling on deal size or rely too much on intuition.
  • You coordinate several stakeholders on the buyer’s side and need a clear map of the decision process.
🧠

What you will learn

  • What really happens in the buyer’s head when a huge number appears in the price.
  • How to position yourself not as “a person with a price list” but as a coordinator of a complex decision.
  • How to work with risk, status, and conflict in big deals without manipulation or cheap tricks.
🧰

What you get inside

  • A complete structure of a high-ticket deal: from lead generation and first touch to handover and repeat business.
  • Frameworks, questions, and conversation structures for meetings, diagnostics, negotiations, and closing.
  • A practical drill section that lets you rebuild current deals and install the system into your own pipeline.

What’s inside the playbook

The book is structured as a working manual: you can read it front to back or jump directly into the part you need for your current deals.

Part What it covers
Part One — The Head How your own relationship with money, rejection, and status shapes every step of a large deal; how to stop collapsing under big numbers and move from “a person with a price list” to a coordinator of a complex decision.
Part Two — People on Both Sides of the Table What truly happens in the buyer’s mind beneath formal goals; how hidden fears, past mistakes, internal politics, and justification logic shape major decisions — and how the seller avoids acting as either hero or servant.
Part Three — The Process A large deal as a structured route rather than luck: mapping stages from first contact to closing, understanding where people with money actually come from, conducting conversations that lead to concrete next steps, and handling conflict without collapsing.
Part Four — Regimen The daily drills and self-audit routines without which any sales theory stays just words: speech training, outbound touches, honest analysis of your own behavior, and the discipline that turns insights into repeatable performance.
Part Five — The Person Who Runs the Game Frames, positioning, and the role of someone who guides others through complex decisions: how to set the agenda, define the purpose of the conversation, avoid becoming “another supplier,” and build a clear structure instead of relying on luck.
Part Six — Selling to Busy People Lead generation in the real world of high-net-worth buyers: working through their environment, precision outreach, partner networks, and a public voice — entering the circles where serious decisions are actually made.
Part Seven — Readiness to Pull the Trigger Preparation that precedes every successful negotiation: research, dossiers, ICP, meeting structure, diagnostic questions, human layers of a decision, and the ability to turn vague objections into concrete tasks.
Part Eight — Fine-tuning Advanced high-ticket skills: identifying weaknesses instead of generic “pain points,” building personalized communication, dismantling objections instead of fighting them, and adjusting your reasoning to the real human structure in front of you.
Part Nine — The Final Mile The last stretch of a major deal: managing volatility at the finish line, negotiating ranges instead of single numbers, handling pressure without losing stability, structuring delivery and hand-off, and turning a one-off transaction into repeat business.
Part Ten — Practical Training A full practical program converting theory into working habits: mindset and money normalization, refusal tolerance, frame drills, diagnostic practice, negotiation structure, objection work, pipeline management, and a daily regimen that produces real high-ticket competence.

About the author

The playbook is written by Robert Knox, a practitioner who has spent years in B2B sales and complex deals: from compressors and generators to real estate and investment assets.

The material is based on real negotiations, failed and closed deals, and on what actually happens in rooms where large numbers are discussed — not on abstract “sales theory”.

The goal is simple: make you dangerous in big deals in a good way — so that you understand what is really going on at the table.

Ready to upgrade your next big deal?

Keep the playbook next to your pipeline and use it when a deal appears that is too big to “wing it”.
