In this episode, Jessen challenges one of the biggest mistakes salespeople make: pushing prospects toward a decision. Drawing on psychology and real-world sales experience, he explains why pressure creates resistance and how a more consultative approach can help prospects move themselves toward the sale. 

Key Takeaways 

People rarely buy because they are convinced. They buy because they convince themselves. You'll learn why common sales habits like overexplaining, chasing prospects, and handling objections too aggressively often work against you, and how creating space can lead to better conversations and stronger results. 

Highlights 

Jessen breaks down the psychology behind “push vs. pull” selling, shares practical techniques to make prospects engage more willingly, and reveals a real-life £25,000 sales story where pulling back—not pushing harder—closed the deal. A powerful reminder that less pressure often creates more sales.
