    Episode 35: Using Hypnosis to Dominate Sales

    In this episode of The Growth Mindset Podcast, hosts Adam Crosley and Rick Riddle welcome Paul Salter, MS, RD, CSCS, CHt, Mindset and Performance Coach, Hypnosis Expert, and founder of Unstuck Yourself Mindset and Performance Coaching. Paul is also the host of The Unstuck High Performer Podcast, where he helps successful people break through the hidden patterns that keep them stuck below their true potential. 🧠 In this episode, Paul shares how hypnosis, mindset coaching, emotional mastery, and subconscious rewiring can help sales professionals perform with more clarity, confidence, and consistency. Adam, Rick, and Paul dive into why many high performers do not have an information problem. They have a mindset and execution problem. You may know what to do, but if hesitation, overthinking, burnout, fear, or self-sabotage are running the show, your results may not match your true ability. This conversation is perfect for mortgage professionals, real estate professionals, business owners, leaders, and salespeople who want to stop getting in their own way and start performing at a higher level. Because let’s be honest… sometimes the biggest sales obstacle is not the market, the rate, or the client objection. Sometimes it is the little voice in your head saying, “Maybe later.” And that little voice needs a serious coaching session. 😄 ✨ Connect with our Guest at:https://www.thegolfhypnotherapist.com Guest Company:Unstuck Yourself Mindset and Performance Coaching Guest Podcast:The Unstuck High Performer Podcast Guest Website:https://www.thegolfhypnotherapist.com Guest Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thepaulsalter Guest YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@thepaulsalter 📌 Episode Details Company Name: Crown Home Mortgage Hosts: Adam Crosley and Rick Riddle Podcast Name: The Growth Mindset Podcast Podcast Description:Welcome to The Growth Mindset, the ultimate podcast for real estate and mortgage professionals looking to elevate their careers.
