They Don’t Need Another Friend — They Need a Trusted Expert

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re cutting through one of the biggest misconceptions in selling to the affluent:

That it’s about being likable.

That charm closes the deal.

That if you’re friendly enough, they’ll pick you.

Wrong.

Affluent clients don’t need another friend.

They need someone who can quietly walk into a high-stakes moment and say:

“I’ve got this.”

At the top of the market, wealthy clients are looking for:

• Clarity, not charisma
• Confidence, not people-pleasing
• A trusted expert—not a lunch buddy

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why likability is overrated in elite sales
• How to shift from being personable… to being powerful
• What “trusted advisor energy” looks and sounds like in real conversations
• How to project calm authority—especially when millions are at stake
• Why protecting their time, image, and privacy is more valuable than bonding over shared hobbies
