The Sidekick Life

How to sell without selling


Listen Later

Sales doesn’t have to feel like pressure, persuasion, or “closing.” In this episode, we sit down with Becc Holland, CEO of Flip the Script, to unpack a buyer-first approach to selling that builds trust fast—and actually protects the customer from making a bad decision.

Becc shares why most sales training creates a power struggle, how to shift from pitching to diagnosing, and the simple talk ratio that changes everything: talk less, ask better questions, and earn trust through clarity—not charm.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want to be salesy,” this one’s for you.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why “people buy from people they like” is misleading (and what matters more)

  • How to sell by diagnosing, not convincing

  • The #1 mistake companies make: not truly learning their buyer

  • How to break down “buyer walls” without manipulation

  • The ideal talk ratio on a first call (10–15% seller / 85–90% buyer)

  • Why misaligned expectations are the silent killer in business decisions (especially franchising)
