In the world of sales, we are often taught that we need to be pushy, aggressive, and ready to do whatever it takes to convince our prospects to part with their money. But this pressurized selling tactic doesn’t align with everybody’s values, and today’s guest decided to find a different way to sell, one that is in line with his goal of stepping out of the realm of sales and into the realm of therapeutic conversation.

His goal is to take a stand to change the dynamic of selling from pressure and aggression to compassion and conversation. He joins me this week to share his experience of high-ticket selling using this approach.
 
“People think, well you have to be aggressive to get someone’s money or they’re not going to part with it.”
- Chandler Walker
