In this episode of SEAT 1F, Lauren breaks down why high ticket sales scripts, objection handling, and rigid frameworks can actually hold you back from closing more sales. Instead of obsessing over the “right thing to say,” she explains why sales is ultimately about communication, connection, curiosity, and building trust with your prospect.

Lauren introduces her READ method for high ticket closing: Reveal, Expose, Angle, and Dismantle, showing how to uncover deeper problems, challenge limiting beliefs, position your offer as the solution, and address objections before getting to the price. She shares how shifting from following scripts to understanding human behavior helped her dramatically increase her sales commissions and make selling feel more natural and enjoyable.

• Sales is a conversation, not a formula  
• Use curiosity to uncover the real problem 
• Challenge limiting beliefs tactfully. 
• Build trust before asking for the sale 
• Master human behaviour, not just sales techniques 
• Trust is the foundation of the sale

#HighTicketSales #HighTicketClosing #SalesTips #SalesCalls #ClosingDeals 

In this episode, we’re talking about perfectionism procrastination, the cycle of having all the information you need but still struggling to take action. This is especially common when you’re starting something new, like high-ticket sales, where the fear of failure or being judged can make you overthink every step. From recording Looms to applying for opportunities, constantly trying to make everything perfect can actually keep you stuck.

The key is to remember that messy action is the way. You don’t need the perfect script, the perfect application, or the perfect moment to begin. Taking action allows you to get feedback, learn what works, and improve through repetition. We also explore the mindset shift of making experience the goal, rather than expecting every attempt to produce the perfect result.

If you’re in a season of learning, experimenting, or stepping into something completely new, this episode is your reminder to give yourself permission to be a beginner. Celebrate how far you’ve already come, trust the process, and remember that difficult seasons are temporary. You don’t have to get it right the first time. You just have to start.

• Perfectionism can disguise itself as preparation while actually preventing you from taking action.
• The fastest way to improve is to execute, get feedback, and iterate.
• Your first attempt doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to exist.
• When experience becomes the goal, failure becomes an opportunity to learn.
• Remember that difficult seasons are temporary, and confidence comes through repetition.
• Give yourself permission to be where you are instead of constantly rushing toward where you think you should be.

00:00 – Why perfectionism procrastination keeps you stuck
02:00 – The pressure to be perfect when starting something new
04:00 – Why messy action and feedback matter
06:00 – “If the goal is experience, everything is a success”
08:00 – Learning to trust yourself and embrace the process

In this episode, we're joined by my friend, mentor, and fitness coach Dylan, who specifically coaches high-achieving sales women, for a conversation on manifestation, mindset blocks, and building a relationship that pushes you higher instead of holding you back.

Whether you're stuck in the gap between believing in your goals and actually acting on them, wondering why you feel resistance every time you try to level up, or questioning whether you can really have it all, this conversation offers honest insights, real business experience, and a new perspective to help you move forward.

In This Episode, We Cover

• Why speaking what you want and backing it with daily action matters more than manifestation and affirmations alone
• Why resistance and fear aren't signs you're on the wrong path. They're usually signs you're about to level up
• The biggest limiting belief holding high-achieving women back: believing they have to choose between the body, the money, and the relationship instead of having it all
• Dylan's sales origin story, from selling books at eight years old to getting promoted at seventeen for outselling everyone on credit cards
• What it actually looks like to build a relationship as two entrepreneurs, including communicating when you're in "work mode" versus your feminine energy
• Who Dylan works with in her coaching practice, and why she only takes high-achieving women who are ready to go all in
  

Key Takeaways

• The tiny daily actions behind big goals (the G-Wagon, the seven-figure business, the world travel) matter more than the manifestation itself
• You don't need a partner to financially provide for you. You need one who challenges you, holds you to a higher standard, and takes care of the things money can't buy
• Staying still in your business or your fitness because your partner isn't growing with you is a conversation worth having, not something to just accept

In this episode, we're keeping it light and girly, dating while traveling, dating long distance, and meeting people in the wild from Bali on day four of a four-month stay. Whether you're navigating dating in your 30s, wondering if a nomadic lifestyle makes it harder to find your person, or feeling like dating has turned into a chore, this conversation offers honest insights, real dating theory, and a new perspective to help you move forward.

In This Episode, We Cover

• Why long distance dating in the early stages can actually reveal someone's character faster than being in the same city
• The theory that a lot of people date and marry out of convenience, not true connection, and why that's not the standard to settle for
• Why I stay off dating apps entirely while traveling, and how meeting people in the wild raises the stakes for actually making it work
• Where to actually meet people when you're not on apps: run clubs, expat and digital nomad events, co-working groups, and church communities
• Why the mission for the next four months in Bali is openness, connection, and getting comfortable being approached again
  

Key Takeaways

• Traveling and dating in expat/transient cities condenses the timeline, which builds connection and intimacy faster because people know the window is finite
• You don't need an app to fall back on when you meet someone in person, and that raises everyone's investment in making the connection actually work
• Not every conversation has to lead to romance. Some of the best memories come from connections that were never going to be long-term, and staying open to those is worth it

In this episode, we're getting the big sister sales energy, no gatekeeping, no fluff. I'm walking through my own bumpy path into the industry (three failed offers before I made a dime) and unveiling the secrets nobody tells you before you get in the weeds. Whether you're feeling like high-ticket sales isn't what you expected, wondering if you're just not cut out for it, or trying to figure out how to actually get good at this, this conversation offers honest insights, real numbers, and a new perspective to help you move forward.

In This Episode, We Cover

• My real story: getting cut from a setter role two weeks in, getting ghosted repeatedly selling in the DMs, and taking eight to twelve calls just to land my first sale (a downsell)
• The real financial timeline: $400 in my first commission month, $900 the next, $4K by month three, and eight months before I went all in
• The industry secrets nobody puts in the highlight reel: egos, inconsistent management, scams and MLM crossover to watch for, and why your first offer should be treated like an unpaid internship
• Why top 1% closers have invested tens of thousands of dollars into coaching and mentorship, and why one training program is never "enough"
• How to get specific on the actual lifestyle you want, and why closing isn't the only path to freedom in this industry
  

Key Takeaways

• No one is entitled to $10K months, financial freedom, or flexibility. It has to be earned, and there's a real barrier to entry you have to pay first
• Rejection therapy is your best friend as a new rep. Every "no" is a learning lesson for the next call, not proof you're not cut out for this
• Don't change your lifestyle off your highest month. Prove you can maintain consistency before you buy the car, the apartment, or the bag

In this episode, we're switching things up for our first-ever guest interview with Carly, my full-time travel partner and closest friend of the last ten months. Whether you're figuring out what you actually want in a partner while building an unconventional life, wondering what separates a top closer from everyone else on the team, or trying to choose where to live next as a location-independent entrepreneur, this conversation offers honest insights, tactical sales advice, and a new perspective to help you move forward.

In This Episode, We Cover

• How ten months of full-time travel together brought both of us more clarity on what we want in a partner, not more confusion
• What humility, security, and financial independence actually look like when you're dating as a high-earning entrepreneurial woman
• Whether sales is more about skill, mindset, or work ethic (and how that ranking shifts as you scale from $0 to $10K to $25K+ months)
• Carly's exact routine for staying a top closer: reviewing calls before and after every session, protecting your energy, and building inputs you can control instead of chasing outputs
• What to actually look for in a city when you're choosing where to live and work from next
  

Key Takeaways

• Confrontation that doesn't have to end in catastrophe is the skill sales reps build in the field, and it's the same skill that makes you better at communicating in relationships
• Work ethic gets you from $0 to $10K; mindset is what takes you from there to the next level, and it never stops being a factor
• Surrounding yourself with people who never question your ideas, only push you to execute them, is one of the biggest predictors of how far you'll actually go

In this episode, we explore the limiting belief that you're supposed to be somewhere by a certain age — in your career, your relationships, your lifestyle — and what happens when you finally let go of a timeline that was never really yours to begin with. Whether you're worried you're starting over too late, navigating a nontraditional dating and family timeline, or feeling judged for choosing full-time travel over "settling down," this conversation offers honest insights, this reframe exercise will help you break from the anxiety of "too late" and form a new perspective to help you move forward.

In This Episode, We Cover

• Why starting over in a new career or industry isn't starting from scratch — it's stacking an unfair advantage
• Navigating dating, marriage, and family timelines when your life doesn't look like everyone else's
• Choosing full-time travel and remote work at 32, and tuning out the "that's not normal for your age" commentary
• Why healing and identity work isn't linear, and why craving to rush the process can work against you
• A full 7-Step journaling exercise to identify your limiting beliefs, trace them to their source, and rewire them
  

Key Takeaways

• Most of the limiting beliefs driving your timeline anxiety aren't even your own — they're inherited from parents, exes, old bosses, or offhand comments you've held onto for years
• The worst-case scenario of going after your dream is almost always temporary; the best-case scenario is everything you actually want
• You're not behind. There is no universal roadmap — everything is custom, and that's the point

In this episode, we explore what actually happens when you try to live the "work US hours from Europe" dream that's all over social media, and why testing a lifestyle in real life often looks nothing like it does on paper. Whether you're considering a digital nomad schedule, weighing whether to stick to a plan once it stops serving you, or wrestling with the fear of trying something and it not working out, this conversation offers honest insights, real logistics, and a new perspective to help you move forward.

In This Episode, We Cover

• Why working Pacific hours from Lisbon meant late nights, early mornings, and burnout — and what I got wrong in the planning
• How shifting priorities (less nightlife, more wellness) changed what a "good" Europe summer even looks like for me now
• The decision to scrap the original Europe itinerary and pivot to a month in Bali instead, including the time zone math behind it
• Why nothing except marriage and kids has to be a permanent decision — and how that mindset makes it easier to just try things
  

Key Takeaways

• A schedule that sounds ideal on paper can completely fall apart in practice — resilience and adaptability matter more than the plan itself
• You're allowed to change your plan mid-trip if it's not serving your business or your health, even if it means abandoning something you were excited about
• The real regret isn't trying something and it not working out — it's not trying and spending years wondering "what if"

In this episode, we explore the mindset shift that separates the women who land their first $10K offer from the ones who stay stuck, and what it means to walk into a room and take up space before you feel "ready." Whether you're navigating imposter syndrome in applications and interviews, a fear of failure that keeps you waiting for the perfect moment to start, or watching less-talented people succeed while you hold yourself back, this conversation offers honest insights, five tactical tools, and a new perspective to help you move forward.

In This Episode, We Cover

• Why delusional confidence — not skills, accolades, or experience — is the real differentiator in high-ticket sales
• The story of a $250K agency that folded because confidence didn't carry through to leadership
• The story of scaling a sales team from $7K to $25K/month (appendix surgery and all)
• Five tactical practices to build delusional confidence: a mantra/second identity, stacking evidence, breaking out of low ruts, celebrating wins, and refusing to quit
  

Key Takeaways

• Perfection is a form of procrastination — the only real failures are the things you never started
• Confidence isn't something you wait to feel; it's built through evidence, repetition, and showing up as the version of you that already believes it
• Winners lose more than losers ever try — the gap between you and the people who've "made it" is simply that they didn't quit

Welcome to Seat 1F: A Podcast for The Women Building a Freedom-Funded Life Through High-Ticket Sales

In this episode, we explore what it really takes to build a freedom-based lifestyle through high-ticket sales, and what it means for the high-achieving woman who's ready to stop playing small. Whether you're navigating career confusion, dating as an ambitious entrepreneur, or the gap between watching other people scale and wondering what you're missing, this conversation offers honest insights, practical strategy, and a new perspective to help you move forward.

In This Episode, We Cover

• Why landing your first $10K offer comes down to strategy and audacity, not luck, skill, or talent
• The reality of building a freedom-based lifestyle where travel and income aren't in conflict
• How to navigate dating and relationships without losing yourself to ambition
• Why the high-ticket sales industry is full of highlight reels instead of what actually works
  

Key Takeaways

• Landing (and keeping) your first $10K offer is about strategy and audacity — not luck, talent, or being "the right kind of person"
• The mindset work that sustains income matters more than tactics that get you one good month
• It's not too late to start, and it's not too good to be true — you're not being handed a map, so you have to build your own
