In this episode of Profits with Pajak, I share a real-life conversation with a potential client that completely reshaped how I think about my sales process. She was confused about pricing, unsure about our services, and hesitant to commit. By the end of our call, she was ready to prepay for the season. The key lesson? It’s not the customer's fault if they don’t understand what we do, it’s ours. I break down how we can proactively educate clients, reduce friction, and close more deals without spending 35 minutes on every call.

Listen in as I challenge you to rethink your customer experience and refine your sales process to make it easier for clients to say "yes"—before they ever pick up the phone.
