Logic does not close deals. Emotion does.
In this episode of the Close The Deal Podcast, Corey Cousins breaks down the biggest mistake salespeople make and why relying on logic, features, and data often causes prospects to hesitate, stall, or disappear.

He has trained thousands of sales professionals and helped companies dramatically increase close rates, reduce cancellations, and create more feel good buying experiences.
Inside this conversation, Corey shares how emotional drivers shape buying decisions, the power of the FAB method, and why linking a purchase to a positive emotional outcome creates trust and momentum.
