What if the secret to higher closing rates isn't better techniques, but better preparation?

In this episode, Dan and Kristie break down one of the most common mistakes they’ve observed in client calls: professionals who force conversations instead of letting them unfold naturally.

Drawing from extensive study of recorded sales calls, they reveal why experienced salespeople often jump too quickly to solutions, pepper prospects with lazy leading questions, and ultimately sabotage their own success. You'll learn the specific preparation techniques that build confidence to trust the conversation process, how to identify and prepare for your personal triggers that knock you off your game, and why "selling on feel" is just an excuse for poor preparation.

Whether you're struggling with conversation flow or wondering why your closing rates remain stuck, this episode offers a fundamentally different approach to sales dialogue.
