What if the most unethical thing you do in sales is refuse to apply pressure?

Most founders avoid psychological triggers in sales because they feel manipulative. The result? Prospects drown in information, freeze in indecision, and walk away from solutions they genuinely need. The discomfort founders avoid creating is often the service prospects desperately require.

In this episode, Wes Schaeffer, known as "The Sales Whisperer," breaks down why the old information advantage is dead. Buyers now arrive with hours of research and paralysis to match. The modern salesperson's job isn't delivering information. It's helping people make decisions by asking questions they haven't rehearsed and matching how they sell to how prospects actually buy.

You'll learn why bad scripts give all scripts a bad name, how to break prospects out of their defensive armor, and why humanity might be the next killer app in an increasingly automated world.
