"They're pretty much teaching business in a very immature way." "There's a huge problem here that I've noticed." "Why are we using middle school behavior and strategies in business and sales?" "You try that crap with my wife, she would tear you apart" "Probing and hard questions in sales feel immature." Takeaways Being opinionated is important as long as it is not accompanied by judgmental behavior. Some coaches and mentors use deceptive practices and manipulation techniques to grow their businesses. The coaching industry can be a scam, and it is important to exercise discernment and critical thinking when engaging with coaches and mentors. The influence of Scientology can be seen in the coaching world. Individuals can be vulnerable to manipulation during uncertain times. Avoid using manipulative tactics in sales and focus on creating a positive and relaxed sales experience. Pay attention to red flags and trust your intuition when something feels wrong. Question and challenge beliefs and mentorship programs that don't align with your values. Seek out new information and engage in dialogue to expand your understanding and perspective.
