We unpack why Q4 went soft across industries and how the first week of 2026 exposed a deeper shift in buyer behavior. We share routines, role-play tactics, and a clear plan to move from “rep” to trusted expert with simplicity and authority.

• lean Q4 and the early 2026 surge
• buyers flooded with info and more savvy
• shift from rep to expert with clarity
• routines for weekend and nightly practice
• perfect practice to build confidence
• role playing during drive time
• simplicity and clarity as core edge
• testing new platforms and handling churn
• focusing on clients who value change
• three ways to engage and get coached
