    The Science of Selling: Motivation > Manipulation with Kieva Hranchuk

    SIGN UP FOR THE FREE MOM IN MIND SUMMIT Kieva Hranchuk joins us to share her journey from academia to entrepreneurship, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and human connection in sales. She discusses the significance of understanding buyer behavior, the psychology behind selling, and how to elicit positive emotions in potential clients. Kieva also addresses common challenges such as handling price objections and the mindset needed for successful selling. Her insights provide valuable guidance for new entrepreneurs looking to navigate the complexities of building a business. Learn more about Kieva:  Dr. Kieva is an Ivy League trained Professor and Behavior Scientist turned Psychology-led Sales Expert. She helps entrepreneurs amplify and refine what works to increase sales by decoding and shaping buyer behavior. Her methods help visionary leaders sell their offers in a way that feels good and actually works. Dr. Kieva has spent over a decade refining the psych-infused strategies that make people say yes into a method anyone can use. This is the exact reason why the biggest names in the industry—including self-made entrepreneurs, 7-figure founders, corporations, and powerhouse personal brands —come to her to decode their buyers and increase conversions without the bro-energy tactics. While Dr. Kieva is calm, confident, and grounded, she has the guts to turn down clients who don’t have skin in the game and aren’t willing to do the work. She would bet her life on behavioral science as the future of ethical, efficient sales —and has built a brand that feels like home and works like hell.
