Ever wonder why selling feels effortless for some people and exhausting for you, even when you’re doing everything right?

After nearly 20 years of teaching sales, I’ve noticed a pattern of people hating sales simply because they’re trying to sell like someone they’re not.

On this episode of Why You Hate Sales, you’ll learn:

• The 4 Sales Archetypes I see show up in every successful salesperson
• How each archetype naturally builds trust and closes deals
• How to spot your dominant type and use it in your favor

If you’ve ever felt like selling requires you to be more confident, structured, outgoing, or “polished” than you actually are, your whole world is about to change.

This episode will show you how to stop forcing it and start selling in a way that feels natural, aligned, and powerful…without becoming someone else.

If you’re following up more than once after a sales call, the fortune’s not in the follow-up, it’s in fixing your process.

In this episode of Why You Hate Sales, I’m breaking down why endless follow-ups is not the expectation you want to set.

When you’re chasing buyers, resending links, or “checking in” every few days, you're not leading anymore. You're recovering a sale that likely could have closed already.

If you want to sell faster (and feel better doing it), you need to build a process that makes same-day yeses your norm.

Here’s what you’ll learn on today's episode:

• The 3 biggest process gaps that force you into follow-up purgatory

• How to qualify buyers so they come ready to decide

• How to build genuine trust in 20 seconds (or less)

• How to close fast without pressure or chasing

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the “just checking in” cycle, this episode will help you break it for good.

Let's make fulfillment is the new follow-up!

We’ve been conditioned to believe slow sales are thoughtful, noble, and “how business works.”

That trust takes time.That objections are a given.That long nurture cycles prove you're doing it right.

But what if the opposite were true?

In this episode of Why You Hate Sales, we’re redefining sales entirely by replacing pressure, chasing, and endless follow-ups with alignment, clarity, and same-day decisions from ready buyers who want to say yes.

Fast sales aren't forceful or manipulative. They're a reflection of clarity, confidence, and fit.

Here's what you’ll learn in this episode:

• The outdated sales beliefs keeping entrepreneurs stuck in slow sales cycles

• Why “fast = pushy” is a myth (and what speed really signals in the buying process)

• How to design your offer, qualification, and buyer journey for fast, aligned decisions

When your message is clear, your process is friction-free, and your buyers are qualified, sales happen faster and feel lighter.

And you deserve to get paid the moment someone realizes you're exactly who they’ve been looking for.

If you're ready to stop romanticizing slow sales and start normalizing same-day yeses, payments, and results, this episode will show you how.
