Traditional sales tactics were designed by men, for men. When women try to use them, we end up feeling fake, burnt out, and disconnected from our customers. I'm Rebecca Kilday, and I believe being in sales shouldn't feel that way. In each episode, I take a popular sales tactic (the ones you've been told will make you successful) and show you how they're secretly sabotaging your relationships with prospects.  This is where women in sales finally get permission to trust their instincts and sell authentically. Don't just sell. Sell INSPIRED.

    The Real Reason Warm Prospects Go Cold (It’s Not Your Pitch)

    Have you ever walked out of a sales meeting feeling like it went well, only to watch the deal fall apart and have no idea why? We've been trained to obsess over every word of our pitch, instead of focusing on what our prospect is telling us. So it’s likely the problem is what you missed, not what you said. In this episode, I'm sharing a real client story where I pretended to be her prospect in a full roleplay, spotted exactly what was getting in her way, and the small shifts that helped her close several deals the very next week. If you know your sales meetings could be better, this is exactly the kind of work I do with my 1-1 coaching clients.

    Closing the Deal Isn't the End of the Relationship, It's the Beginning

    If you think your sales team costs more than they're worth, this episode is for you. Scaling back is one of the most expensive decisions a business owner can make, and the numbers back me up.

    Don't Change Your Swing When You're in a Sales Slump

    Everyone in sales knows the feeling: leads dry up, yeses turn to maybes, and suddenly you’re questioning everything. For us women, it can be even worse because when we hit a slump, we're tempted to overhaul everything and start from scratch. But that’s actually making it worse!   In this episode, I’m sharing how to bust your sales slump and have more sustained hot streaks. You’ll hear about a client of mine who just went through this exact situation, how I helped her overcome her doubts, and why optimism (not positivity) was the secret key to success.   If you’re ready to take it one step further, I’m sharing my free Resilience Builder workbook.

    Ditch the Script (Your Own Words Work Better!)

    Most companies hand their sales reps a script because they don't trust them to know what to say. If you've ever read those words out loud and thought “this doesn't sound like me,” you're right. It doesn't.  Most sales scripts were written by men, for men, and women in sales are left trying to make someone else's words fit. But when you're focused on reciting the right words, you stop listening to your prospect, and that's exactly when you lose the sale. This episode will change how you think about: What a script is actually signaling to your prospects The difference between reciting words and making a real connection Why your own words are more powerful than anything you've been handed This episode is for you if you're ready to stop sounding like every other sales person, and start sounding more like yourself. If you’d like help rewriting your scripts, this is exactly what I help my 1:1 coaching clients with.

    Being Polite is Costing You Sales (You're Allowed to Follow Up!)

    Most women in sales aren't struggling with follow-up because they don't know how. They're struggling because they don't want to be a bother.  Your instinct to be considerate (while completely understandable) is quietly costing you deals that were already yours to close. If you're ready to stop letting politeness get in the way of your pipeline, this episode is for you. You'll learn: Why the follow-up gap has nothing to do with your skills What the data says about how many touchpoints it actually takes to close How to build a follow-up cadence that feels personal, not pushy This is exactly what I help my 1:1 coaching clients with.

    The Price Conversation Feels Awful for a Reason

    I've seen some pretty terrible sales advice on social media lately, especially when it comes to the pricing conversation. When someone asks your price, tell them to guess? The person who names a number first loses? In this episode, I break down the worst pricing advice floating around social media and share what *actually* works when you need to discuss money with prospects, without being manipulative or eroding trust.  You’ll learn: Why withholding price until the end costs you sales (and when you should bring it up instead) The pricing games that make you look incompetent How my medspa client increased revenue 11% in one week by getting comfortable with price conversations My anchor range strategy that helps gives you negotiation room while building trust Use this link to get in touch with me about bringing this training to your organization: https://rebeccakilday.com/podcast-2/ – Most sales podcasts give you more tactics.
