Stacey explains that effective sales come from creating emotional safety and trust, not pressure or persuasion. She discusses how the human brain responds to fear and uncertainty in buying situations, emphasizing the importance of empathy, alignment, and clarity over tactics.

Key Takeaways:

-Your energy matters more than your pitch.

-People buy possibilities — not products.

-Where safety exists, trust can grow.

Tweetable Quotes:

"The universe doesn’t send you who you want; it sends you who you are." -Stacey O'Byrne

"When a person feels uncertain or pressured, their amygdala lights up like a Christmas tree. It’s the same response you’d get if you were being chased by a lion — they’re not processing logic, they’re escaping discomfort." -Stacey O'Byrne

"People don’t say no because they don’t want what you’re offering — they say no because their brain doesn’t feel safe saying yes." -Stacey O'Byrne
