What if the harder you chase the sale… the faster buyers pull away?

In this episode of The Sales Pulse Podcast, Marla Koupal explores why so many sales conversations become awkward, pressured, and exhausting — not because sellers lack skill, but because they become emotionally attached to the outcome.

Marla breaks down:
• Why buyers feel emotional pressure immediately
• How curiosity creates stronger conversations
• Why calm energy builds trust
• The hidden problem with controlling sales conversations
• Why “objections” are often unanswered questions
• How AI should support connection instead of replacing it

This episode is a refreshing conversation about selling with emotional steadiness, observation, adaptability, and humanity instead of pressure and performance.

If you are tired of sounding scripted, overexplaining, chasing leads, or forcing conversations, this episode will help you rethink how sales actually work.

Sales is not about controlling people.
It is about understanding them.

I’m Marla Koupal, reminding you that sales is just a conversation… until it isn’t.
