Many stalled deals do not fail because the solution is weak. They fail because the team moved too fast before the buyer had a reason to care, a sponsor willing to mobilize, and enough confidence to take the risk. Randy Riemersma joins John McMahon and John Kaplan to unpack how false velocity, shallow discovery, and weak executive alignment create fragile opportunities that collapse late. He explains why elite sellers slow down early, uncover real business pain, connect operational problems to strategic outcomes, and manage the emotional side of buying when the decision starts to feel personal. Randy Riemersma is the founder of Sell with Precision, where he helps sales leaders strengthen go-to-market execution, leadership effectiveness, and sales operating discipline. He has spent decades in B2B sales, leadership, consulting, and executive coaching, with a focus on helping teams sell with greater clarity, precision, and business relevance.

In this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and producer Eric break down a series of viral sales training videos from door-to-door sales influencer Parker Anderton. Drawing from Travis's own years of experience in door-to-door sales, the conversation explores what separates effective salespeople from ineffective ones, how top performers handle objections, why confidence matters, and the psychology behind creating comfortable buying experiences. Along the way, Travis shares practical lessons on leadership, management, customer interactions, and the subtle communication techniques that can dramatically improve sales results. On this episode we talk about: The controversial "$1,000 bathroom rule" for sales teams How great sales managers balance performance and people skills Common mistakes sales reps make when handling objections The psychology of confidence versus desperation in sales conversations Why making decisions feel simple can improve closing rates Top 3 Takeaways Great salespeople don't treat every customer question as a major obstacle—they confidently guide conversations without creating unnecessary friction. Effective leadership requires balancing productivity with treating people like human beings. Long-term trust often matters more than short-term efficiency. Customers are more likely to buy when the process feels simple, casual, and low-pressure rather than urgent or overly dramatic.

"I'm not going to make people feel bad because they have bodily needs in the middle of the workday." "If you don't make it a big deal in your sales process, it won't be a big deal in their mind when making the decision."

High-stakes sales puts pressure on the mind before it tests the deal strategy. Reps and leaders have to stay present through judgment, rejection, complex stakeholders, and the weight of the number. Dr. Michael Gervais joins John Kaplan and John McMahon to unpack FOPO, the fear of other people's opinions, and its impact on executive presence, listening, trust, and decision-making. Drawing from his work with Olympians, world champions, Fortune 100 leaders, and elite teams, Dr. Gervais explains how mental skills like awareness, breathing, self-talk, imagery, and honest team dynamics help people operate with more clarity under pressure. The conversation brings performance psychology into the realities of enterprise sales, where long cycles, executive buyers, and high-consequence conversations demand discipline before the moment arrives. Dr. Michael Gervais is a performance psychologist, the founder of Finding Mastery, host of the Finding Mastery podcast, co-creator of the Performance Science Institute at the University of Southern California, and author of The First Rule of Mastery: Stop Worrying About What People Think of You. He has worked with Olympians, world champions, MMA fighters, Fortune 100 CEOs, and elite teams to help them train their minds for high-pressure performance.

What you'll learn in this episode: Why self-belief is the foundation of every successful business The GPS framework for achieving goals with clarity and focus How the “commit or quit” mindset removes distractions Why consistency beats talent in sales and entrepreneurship The CPI Communication Model for building trust and rapport How neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) improves communication Why follow-up is the most overlooked sales skill The SCARLET framework for hiring winning team members How great leaders teach people how to think, not what to do Why “You are good enough” is the ultimate entrepreneurial truth    

What you'll learn in this episode: ● The difference between internal and external pain—and why internal pain drives decisions ● How to proactively guide clients before emotional triggers take over ● Why “teaching to sell” creates predictable trust and long-term success ● How to frame financial fears in a way that builds confidence ● The key questions to ask that prevent last-minute deal collapse

If your prospects aren't making decisions as they used to, it may not be your offer; it may be how their brains process it. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Paul Ross, Elite Sales Trainer, who shares how his background in hypnosis and NLP led to a breakthrough understanding of how decisions are made and why most salespeople target the wrong part of the brain. He explains how language patterns, focus, and suggestion can help entrepreneurs and financial professionals dramatically improve conversions in today's distracted, fast-moving market. Key Takeaways:→ Buying decisions are made subconsciously. → Prospects must trust themselves before trusting you.→ Suggestion is more powerful than direct persuasion.→ Traditional rapport-building techniques are increasingly ineffective.→ Objections often stem from a lack of psychological positioning. For 30 years, Paul Ross has been the secret weapon for sales leaders who've exhausted conventional methods. He mastered influence in the most brutal testing ground - dating - so effectively that Tom Cruise played a character based on him in Magnolia. When clients mapped his techniques to sales and started crushing numbers, Paul saw the gap: everyone pushes facts while buying decisions happen unconsciously. So he built The Subconscious Sales Advantage - using hypnotic language to bypass resistance and create buying states in minutes. Clients see 30%+ increases in 90 days. Paul's mission: arm driven sales leaders with psychological tools their competition doesn't know exist - so they stop grinding and start dominating.

Recorded live at SocialPacific 2025 in North Vancouver, Ben Wise and Darren Chiu, co-founders of Captivate, join guest host Rachel Thexton to explore the art and science of human behavior.Captivate translates academic psychology into practical tools for marketers, sales teams, and leaders, helping them communicate in ways that actually move people.They unpack why most marketing falls flat by being overly rational, how emotional decision-making really works, and why storytelling, including friction, consequences, and vulnerability, remains one of the most powerful tools in business. Because whether you're selling to consumers or corporations, you're always selling to a human.Produced by TAKT.

Viral does not mean profitable — and if your sales aren't matching your engagement, your marketing is missing conversion psychology. In this episode, Savannah Jordan explains how to incorporate sales psychology tactics into your marketing so your audience doesn't just understand your offer — they feel compelled to act. You'll learn why people don't buy because you're popular, and how to build content that shifts belief, creates urgency, and turns followers into paying customers. Whether you sell products or services, Savannah walks you through the tactics that raise your income ceiling: • What sales psychology actually is (and what it is not) • How to create urgency that feels logical — not dramatic • How to make social proof tell a story that sells • Authority positioning that builds trust without bragging • Contrast + comparison: the decision-making shortcut • Selling identity so buying feels natural Apply to work with Savannah HERE: http://bit.ly/applywlfpodcast or DM her on Instagram @itssavannahjordan https://www.instagram.com/itssavannahjordan Follow the podcast here: https://www.instagram.com/runningwithwolvespodcast viral marketing, sales psychology tactics, conversion marketing, marketing that sells, business growth strategy, content strategy, customer decision making

Through the story of the protagonist Morgan, Jeff illustrates the profound shift from being a "product pusher" to a "trusted advisor."We explore the "Aha!" moments that every veteran sales rep has faced: the realization that customers aren't looking for the most innovative technology—they're looking for the story that makes them feel safest. Jeff breaks down the "Advisor Lens," teaching us how to ask the hard questions like, "What would make you look foolish in this deal?" and why getting invited into the customer's story is the only way to ensure the deal doesn't break in the other room.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

If your offers aren't converting the way they should be, it might not be your content, your audience, or your price.

Why do collectors hesitate to buy art — even when they love your work? In this solo episode of The Art Coaching Club podcast, I'm breaking down why collectors don't buy art, using real conversations I hear again and again from artists inside The Club and in one-on-one coaching. If you've ever thought: “People love my work, but they're not buying” “Maybe my prices are too high” “Maybe my art just isn't good enough” This episode is for you. We'll dig into the art sales psychology behind collector hesitation and talk through what actually stops collectors from buying art — and why it's usually not about talent, trends, or Instagram reach. In this episode, we cover: Why collectors don't buy when they're unsure (not uninterested) The biggest misunderstanding artists have about how collectors decide what to buy Why price often feels unclear, not wrong Why cheap art doesn't sell the way artists think it will How context, confidence, and clarity help collectors move forward What artists misinterpret when collectors go quiet How to guide collectors without pressure or awkwardness Buying art is a luxury decision, not a rational transaction — and understanding that changes everything about how you sell, follow up, and build long-term collector relationships. This episode is especially helpful if you want to: Attract art collectors, not just followers Understand why interest doesn't always turn into sales Sell art with more confidence and professionalism Build a sustainable art career without slashing prices or chasing trends These are the exact conversations we go deeper into inside The Club, where artists learn how to sell their work with clarity, confidence, and integrity — without guessing or burning out.

Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Margie Newman Tsay, founder of Intesa Communications Group, who shares her expertise in strategic communications, reputation management, executive coaching, and crisis response. Margie emphasizes the need for clarity, brevity, and effective communication during crises and how these skills are essential for building trust and credibility. She also highlights the role of continuous learning and vulnerability in becoming a successful communicator, regardless of age or gender. The episode underscores the overlooked necessity of crisis communication training in the sales profession and offers actionable insights for sales leaders and professionals.KEY TAKEAWAYSCommunication requires repetition - Say things 10-11 times before people truly retain them; don't assume once is enough Make the customer the hero - Focus on their goals and needs, not your product or yourself Reputation is built daily - Trust and authenticity come from how you show up every single day, not just when making a sale Surprises are for birthdays - Over-communicate to avoid catching people off guard in business relationships Crisis communication essentials - Focus on brevity, roles, and goals; reduce oxygen to the flame rather than escalating Diversify your network - Learn from people across different ages, genders, and industries to expand your communication toolkit Humans first in crisis - Remember everyone defaults to fear and ego under pressure; sometimes people just need to be heardQUOTES"Selling from the heart means remembering that it's not about you. Make the customer the hero." "Surprises are for birthdays. You gotta communicate, communicate, communicate in four different ways to make sure people get it." "Leadership is context. When we stop communicating and giving that context, trust erodes." "No one is born a great communicator. This is a learned skill. You can start today being a great communicator." "In a crisis, our brains are ego and overwhelm. We immediately need to know what is going on, how do we solve for it, and what's my job." "What's the closest gator to your boat? You take 'em one gator at a time." (on prioritizing in crisis) "Everyone is a human first.

Low show-up rates are one of the most common points of failure in sales and team building. Most leaders view a missed call or a skipped meeting as a technical error in their calendar system, but it is actually a psychological failure.To improve these rates, you must stop selling your entire business process and start selling the immediate next step.In this Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos is back with another Accelerator call to talk about sales psychology that works.You will hear powerful insights and motivation around:Improving call show-ups psychologicallyFocusing on the funnel sequence vs whole business processAddressing people's fears and excusesStaying authentic to the audienceBalazs recommends shifting your sales posture. You have to let prospects and team members know that you do not accept people wasting your time. One of the most powerful psychological tools for ensuring attendance is the identity-based commitment. You're not being rude for doing that because you're establishing the standard of the relationship.Lastly, being authentic and direct is a sign of respect. Many people are afraid of being firm because they want to be liked. However, being kind, respectful, and direct is more effective than being vague. If you are afraid of telling people how it is, you are essentially allowing them to fail."This all depends on your community, right? You have different platforms, methodologies, and they have values. So if you're being taught to do something right after they booked the call, then my suggestion is to follow through. Follow the training." - Balazs W KardosDo not miss this episode to stop being "nice" and start being effective by doing sales psychology the smart way.Want a Personalized Plan for Business & Life Optimization?Book A FREE CallConnect with Balazs W Kardos:WebsiteFacebookThe Diamond Life CommunityLinkedInYouTubeInstagramThe Diamond Life Mentor Instagram

Send us a textWe have all been there: You are handed a project, you feel out of your depth, and you are convinced everyone else knows exactly what they are doing. On this week's episode, Scott and Mike tackle Imposter Syndrome head-on, using a disastrous DIY plumbing story involving an angle grinder and a shower handle as the perfect metaphor for professional growth.The duo discusses why being an "expert" doesn't mean knowing everything—it means knowing who to ask and being willing to figure it out. They break down the "7 Red Lines" theory, Scott introduces his concept of the "Working Wheel" regarding willingness to change, and they offer three practical steps to get out of your own head and start trusting your own expertise.Key Takeaways:The "Expert" Trap: Referencing the viral "The Expert" YouTube sketch, the hosts discuss how sales reps are often asked to do the impossible (like drawing transparent red lines). True expertise isn't magic; it's creativity under pressure.Scott's 3 Steps to Beat Imposter Syndrome:Stack Your Wins: Write down your successes. When you see them on paper, it is harder to convince yourself you are a fraud.Progress vs. Perfection: Stop comparing your internal struggles to someone else's external highlights. You are not the worst salesperson ever; you are just learning.Collaborate to Validate: Talk to other pros. You will quickly realize they aren't "superhuman"—they just have different experiences (or a blowtorch and lubricating oil).The Working Wheel: Career longevity comes down to a willingness to try new things. If you stop trying, the wheel stops turning.Curiosity > Intelligence: You don't have to be the smartest person in the room. You just have to be the most curious and the most prepared.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

Is your sales strategy built around how buyers should behave—or how they actually behave? Imagine walking into a store and seeing a shirt for $50. Fine. Unremarkable. You might buy it, you might not. Now imagine seeing that same shirt with a tag that reads: $100 NOW $50. Suddenly, you're interested. You found a deal. You beat the system. You're a hero. Same price. Same shirt. Completely different emotional response. That psychological gap between logic and emotion cost JCPenney roughly $1 billion and offers one of the most important lessons in sales psychology you'll ever learn: people don't buy with logic—they buy with emotion and justify with logic later. The Fair and Square Disaster In 2012, JCPenney hired Ron Johnson as CEO. Johnson was a retail rock star, the architect behind Apple Store's legendary success. He walked into JCPenney and saw chaos: endless coupons, manufactured "original prices," and constant sales cycles. His solution? Kill it all. Johnson launched "Fair and Square"—a radically transparent pricing model. No games. No coupons. No inflated prices marked down. Just one everyday low price on everything. That $100 shirt marked down to $50? Now it was simply $50. Honest. Logical. Clean. The market's response was brutal. Within one year, sales dropped 25%. The company lost nearly $1 billion. Stock price went into freefall. Johnson was fired. What Johnson Got Wrong About Sales Psychology Johnson made a catastrophic assumption: he believed customers were rational economic actors who would reward transparency and honesty. He was dead wrong. For decades, JCPenney's customers had been playing a game. They clipped coupons, timed sales, scrutinized flyers, and planned shopping trips around promotions. The weekly coupon wasn't just a discount—it was a ritual. Their insider advantage, their badge of savvy shopping honor. Johnson stripped away their emotional satisfaction and replaced it with sterile efficiency. Without the "$100 now $50" comparison, the flat $50 price lost all psychological weight. No thrill. No victory. No story to share. Same price. Different feeling. The Sales Psychology Principle You're Ignoring Loss aversion is twice as powerful as gain motivation. Your prospects don't just want to gain something—they want to feel like they won, like they're in control, like they made a smart decision that will impress their boss. When you strip away their buying process, when you force them into your "more efficient" workflow without their input, they don't see the gain. They experience loss. You've taken away their control, their ritual, their power, their role as the hero. In sales, that feeling is deadly. Your Customers Have Rituals Too Think about your best accounts. What do they actually value? It's probably not your features or your ROI calculator. It's the rep they've worked with for years. It's the quarterly business review they rely on. It's the reporting cadence that makes them look good internally. It's the buying process that lets them feel competent and in control. That's their ritual. When you try to "streamline" their process, when you push them toward a different point of contact, when you change the reporting structure they trust—you're doing exactly what Ron Johnson did. You're selling logic when they're buying a feeling. Stop Leading With Features and Benefits Most salespeople lose deals before they even start because they lead with logical arguments: "Our platform reduces processing time by 40%." "We integrate with 200+ systems." "Our customer support response time is under 2 hours." All logical. All true. All useless if your buyer doesn't feel something first. Your prospect doesn't wake up excited about efficiency gains. They wake up stressed about looking good in front of their VP, avoiding mistakes, and maintaining control of their budget. Research is clear: emotional decisions get made first, then logic comes in to justify them. Your job isn't to build a logical case. Your job is to help your buyer feel like a hero, then give them the logical ammunition to defend that emotional decision internally. How to Apply This Starting Today Identify Their Rituals Watch how your customers actually operate. Do they need three stakeholders in every meeting? Do they always loop in procurement at a specific stage? Do they have a preferred communication cadence? Don't fight it. Work with it. Their process is their psychological anchor for stability. Frame the Win They Can Own Frame your solution so the customer feels in control and gets the credit. Instead of: "Our platform will solve your problem." Try: “This approach could help you demonstrate a 30% cost reduction in Q2—giving your team clear wins to share with leadership.” Make them the hero of their own story. Highlight Emotional Outcomes, Not Just Logical Ones Don't just talk about what your product does. Talk about how it makes them feel. "You'll have complete visibility so you're never caught off guard in executive meetings." "Your team will finally have the data they need to look proactive instead of reactive." "You'll be the person who solved the problem everyone else said was impossible." Guide, Don't Force Lead your prospects toward better outcomes without stripping away their sense of control. Instead of forcing a complete switch to your system, collaborate on how your solution enhances their existing trusted process. Make them feel like a collaborator, not a passenger. The Takeaway Ron Johnson wasn't wrong that consumers should prefer transparent, honest pricing. He wasn't wrong that the coupon game was exhausting and complicated. He was wrong about what people actually buy. They buy feelings. Control. Victory. Status. The story they tell themselves about being smart. Your prospects are no different. They're not buying your SaaS platform, your consulting services, or your enterprise solution. They're buying the feeling of being competent, in control, and successful. The difference between average salespeople and top performers isn't product knowledge or work ethic. It's understanding the sales psychology behind how buyers actually make decisions. When you appeal to emotion first and back it up with logic second, you stop losing deals to “no decision” and start winning consistently. Because at the end of the day, sales isn't about having the best product. It's about making your customer feel like they made the best decision. Ready to master buyer psychology and close more deals?

Is your sales strategy built around how buyers should behave—or how they actually behave? Imagine walking into a store and seeing a shirt for $50. Fine. Unremarkable. You might buy it, you might not. Now imagine seeing that same shirt with a tag that reads: $100 NOW $50. Suddenly, you're interested. You found a deal. You beat the system. You're a hero. Same price. Same shirt. Completely different emotional response. That psychological gap between logic and emotion cost JCPenney roughly $1 billion and offers one of the most important lessons in sales psychology you'll ever learn: people don't buy with logic—they buy with emotion and justify with logic later. The Fair and Square Disaster In 2012, JCPenney hired Ron Johnson as CEO. Johnson was a retail rock star, the architect behind Apple Store's legendary success. He walked into JCPenney and saw chaos: endless coupons, manufactured "original prices," and constant sales cycles. His solution? Kill it all. Johnson launched "Fair and Square"—a radically transparent pricing model. No games. No coupons. No inflated prices marked down. Just one everyday low price on everything. That $100 shirt marked down to $50? Now it was simply $50. Honest. Logical. Clean. The market's response was brutal. Within one year, sales dropped 25%. The company lost nearly $1 billion. Stock price went into freefall. Johnson was fired. What Johnson Got Wrong About Sales Psychology Johnson made a catastrophic assumption: he believed customers were rational economic actors who would reward transparency and honesty. He was dead wrong. For decades, JCPenney's customers had been playing a game. They clipped coupons, timed sales, scrutinized flyers, and planned shopping trips around promotions. The weekly coupon wasn't just a discount—it was a ritual. Their insider advantage, their badge of savvy shopping honor. Johnson stripped away their emotional satisfaction and replaced it with sterile efficiency. Without the "$100 now $50" comparison, the flat $50 price lost all psychological weight. No thrill. No victory. No story to share. Same price. Different feeling. The Sales Psychology Principle You're Ignoring Loss aversion is twice as powerful as gain motivation. Your prospects don't just want to gain something—they want to feel like they won, like they're in control, like they made a smart decision that will impress their boss. When you strip away their buying process, when you force them into your "more efficient" workflow without their input, they don't see the gain. They experience loss. You've taken away their control, their ritual, their power, their role as the hero. In sales, that feeling is deadly. Your Customers Have Rituals Too Think about your best accounts. What do they actually value? It's probably not your features or your ROI calculator. It's the rep they've worked with for years. It's the quarterly business review they rely on. It's the reporting cadence that makes them look good internally. It's the buying process that lets them feel competent and in control. That's their ritual. When you try to "streamline" their process, when you push them toward a different point of contact, when you change the reporting structure they trust—you're doing exactly what Ron Johnson did. You're selling logic when they're buying a feeling. Stop Leading With Features and Benefits Most salespeople lose deals before they even start because they lead with logical arguments: "Our platform reduces processing time by 40%." "We integrate with 200+ systems." "Our customer support response time is under 2 hours." All logical. All true. All useless if your buyer doesn't feel something first. Your prospect doesn't wake up excited about efficiency gains. They wake up stressed about looking good in front of their VP, avoiding mistakes, and maintaining control of their budget. Research is clear: emotional decisions get made first, then logic comes in to justify them. Your job isn't to build a logical case. Your job is to help your buyer feel like a hero, then give them the logical ammunition to defend that emotional decision internally. How to Apply This Starting Today Identify Their Rituals Watch how your customers actually operate. Do they need three stakeholders in every meeting? Do they always loop in procurement at a specific stage? Do they have a preferred communication cadence? Don't fight it. Work with it. Their process is their psychological anchor for stability. Frame the Win They Can Own Frame your solution so the customer feels in control and gets the credit. Instead of: "Our platform will solve your problem." Try: “This approach could help you demonstrate a 30% cost reduction in Q2—giving your team clear wins to share with leadership.” Make them the hero of their own story. Highlight Emotional Outcomes, Not Just Logical Ones Don't just talk about what your product does. Talk about how it makes them feel. "You'll have complete visibility so you're never caught off guard in executive meetings." "Your team will finally have the data they need to look proactive instead of reactive." "You'll be the person who solved the problem everyone else said was impossible." Guide, Don't Force Lead your prospects toward better outcomes without stripping away their sense of control. Instead of forcing a complete switch to your system, collaborate on how your solution enhances their existing trusted process. Make them feel like a collaborator, not a passenger. The Takeaway Ron Johnson wasn't wrong that consumers should prefer transparent, honest pricing. He wasn't wrong that the coupon game was exhausting and complicated. He was wrong about what people actually buy. They buy feelings. Control. Victory. Status. The story they tell themselves about being smart. Your prospects are no different. They're not buying your SaaS platform, your consulting services, or your enterprise solution. They're buying the feeling of being competent, in control, and successful. The difference between average salespeople and top performers isn't product knowledge or work ethic. It's understanding the sales psychology behind how buyers actually make decisions. When you appeal to emotion first and back it up with logic second, you stop losing deals to “no decision” and start winning consistently.
