Fear stops more deals than rejection ever will. In this episode of The Close The Deal Podcast, host Ewell Smith sits down with Angie Wedell, founder of Blended Strategies, to talk about courage, confidence, and the mindset that helps salespeople close with authenticity.

Angie shares her “Five Minutes of Guts” philosophy — a practical way to overcome fear one moment at a time — and explains how understanding the DISC profile can improve communication, strengthen relationships, and boost results.

You’ll also learn why pursuing no can lead to more yeses and how managing your energy can be even more important than managing your time.

If you’re ready to turn fear into fuel and confidence into conversions, this episode is for you.
