  • The Sweet Science of Selling
    Jan 21 2026

    In this Pocket Sized Pep Talk, you’ll learn:

    • Why the early part of a sales conversation should feel like the “feeling out rounds.”
    • How asking tougher, more direct questions creates productive discomfort.
    • The real meaning behind “staying on the cut” when a customer reveals a challenge or pain point.

    When you believe in your solution, applying pressure isn’t aggressive — it’s responsible. Your role is to help customers confront challenges before they grow into crisis-level problems, and that requires timing, courage, and well-placed questions.

    • How logic and repetition can help you “rewire” your default thinking.
    • A simple, powerful habit to focus on what you want, rather than what you fear.
