If you’re not closing sales, it’s because you’re still marketing.

This podcast is for entrepreneurs and business owners who know how to make noise—but are ready to start real conversations.

Each episode breaks down the most common sales killer: staying in pitch mode after the buyer shows up. You’ll learn how to flip the switch from marketing to sales, ask the right first questions, and sell to the one person in front of you—not your niche, not your persona, the buyer.

No fluff. No hype. Just powerful, clear guidance to help you turn interest into income.

Tune in weekly to get out of marketing mode and into closing mode—for good.

Trust Yourself. Ditch the Script. Sell with Clarity. | The Sales Pulse Podcast

Ever felt like you're performing instead of selling? Like you need all the right answers, scripts, or slick responses just to make a sale?

In this episode of The Sales Pulse, we're flipping that narrative. I’m sharing how I’ve sold countless products—without knowing a thing about them—simply by knowing the person in front of me.

Because when you tune in to your buyer’s world, they’ll tune in to yours.

This episode covers:

• Why your presence matters more than your pitch
• How curiosity transforms conversations into decisions
• Letting go of sales scripts and trusting your own intuition
• What to say when they’re ready to get started
• And why objections aren’t something you need to “handle”

📣 If you're an entrepreneur, coach, or direct seller tired of gimmicks and craving real, human-centered sales—this is for you.

👉 Leave your thoughts and questions in the comments. I answer them in upcoming episodes!

Host: Marla Koupal – Sales Fluency Facilitator

Most people are trained to close the sale—but no one ever taught them how to open the conversation.

In this episode, Marla Koupal breaks down one of the most overlooked truths in selling: if you don’t ask, you don’t go. Packed with metaphor, story, and practical insight, this episode helps you reframe your entire approach to sales conversations—one question at a time.

You’ll hear:

🟡 Why your buyer’s first question often holds the real answer (and how to hear what they really mean)
🟡 How the “can of beans” metaphor reveals the real reason you’re stuck in surface-level selling
🟡 What most sellers misunderstand about emotional timing—and how listening longer (not talking more) speeds up the sale
🟡 A real-life example from Marla’s insurance career about listening to grief and building trust in just a few minutes
🟡 How to ask deeper questions without becoming a therapist or wasting time
🟡 Why short-term coaching (or short sales cycles) work better when you coach to the gap—not the whole life story
🟡 The key to handling objections without defending, explaining, or “pitching”

This episode is for every solopreneur, coach, or business owner who’s tired of chasing sales, dreading “follow-ups,” or feeling robotic in their messaging. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I just want to know what to say,” this is your wake-up call: sales fluency isn’t about saying the perfect thing—it’s about asking the right next question.

Marla teaches sales facilitation, not sales scripts. And this episode is a masterclass in the power of presence over persuasion.

Whether you’re selling high-ticket coaching, network marketing products, services, or memberships—this episode will shift the way you hear your buyers and how you show up in the sales conversation.

📍Favorite line: “Sales is not a GPS—it’s a map. And every question helps reveal the territory.”

Host: Marla Koupal | The Sales Fluency Facilitator

Welcome to the very first episode of The Sales Pulse Podcast, where sales isn't marketing, and your results come from real, unscripted conversations—not memorized scripts or pushy tactics.

In this kickoff episode, Marla Koupal brings you back to a skill that’s quietly powerful and often completely overlooked in sales: Respect. Not surface-level politeness, but deep, strategic respect—the kind that changes the entire energy of a sales conversation.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

💡 Why being charming or confident isn’t nearly as important as respecting how your buyer makes decisions.
 💡 How your pace, no matter how well-practiced, can derail a sale if it doesn’t match your buyer’s rhythm.
💡 The myth of “I don’t want to be pushy”—and how understanding respect eliminates that fear altogether.
💡 How scripted selling ignores human nuance—and how to unlearn habits that accidentally create resistance.
💡 Signs you’re not showing respect (spoiler alert: talking more than 60% of the time is one of them).
💡 The shift from “Are you ready to sign up?” to “What would need to happen for this to feel like a yes?”—and how that one shift opens space for honest, collaborative decision-making.

Marla shares personal stories from her decades-long career in sales—real-life examples where rushing cost her a sale, and moments when slowing down turned doubt into trust. She reminds us that buyers don’t need to be educated—they need to be heard.

Sales isn’t about saying something clever. It’s about hearing what matters, and asking the right next question based on what you’ve just heard. That’s fluency. That’s respect in action.

🔍 In this episode’s challenge, Marla dares you to:

• Ask one more clarifying question before offering any advice.
• Practice five seconds of silence after your buyer speaks.
• Review your last three conversations for subtle signs of rushing or assuming.

If you’re tired of gimmicks, tired of push-pull tactics, and ready to step into selling with clarity, ease, and yes—respect—this episode is your first step.

🎧 Subscribe now for bold insights, human-first selling skills, and unscripted strategies that actually work.

Because sales isn’t a pitch. It’s a pulse. And it starts right here.
