Ever found yourself thinkingā¦
ā āIām just not a natural at sales.ā
ā āI hate asking for money.ā
ā āWhat if they say no?ā
If any of those thoughts have played on repeat in your mind, know this: itās not a sales problem⦠It's a mindset pattern.
Because here's the truth no oneās told you:
Sales doesnāt start with strategy. It starts with psychology.
And your brain? Itās a clever little thing.
It wants to protect you from discomfort, rejection, and the dreaded āno.ā
But comfort zones are not where thriving businesses are built.
The Science of Selling (and What Youāre Missing)
š 80%Ā of success in sales comes from mindsetānot technique. (Harvard Business Review)Ā
š Salespeople with a growth mindset outperform fixed-mindset peers by 47%. (Gartner)Ā
š Buyers say confidence influences whether they buyā75% of the time. (Salesforce)

So what does that mean for you?
š Itās not about being slick. Itās about being grounded.
Ā š Itās not about being āconvincing.ā Itās about being connected.
Ā š Itās not about being someone youāre not. Itās about believing in who you already are.
So, Whatās Really Keeping You Stuck?
Itās these sneaky little patterns running the show:
š« Fear of rejectionĀ ā so you donāt follow up.
š« Fear of judgementĀ ā so you downplay your brilliance.
š« Imposter syndromeĀ ā so you charge too little or hide behind freebies.
⨠Vibrancy Reframe:Ā Sales isnāt about pushing people into a āyes.ā Itās about holding space for their transformation. Itās service, not pressure.
How to Shift Into a Sales Growth MindsetĀ
š¹ Reframe the Rejection
Ā A ānoā isnāt personal. Itās data. Use it. Learn. Adjust. Move on stronger.
š¹ Normalise the WobbleĀ No one starts out confident. Confidence is a by-product of showing up, not a prerequisite.
š¹ Celebrate the Micro-WinsĀ Every follow-up, every clear boundary, every pricing conversation you have thatās momentum.
š¹ Coach Your Inner CriticĀ When your mind whispers āyouāre not good enough,ā you get to answer back with,Ā āThanks for your concern, but Iām showing up anyway.ā
Real Women. Real Breakthroughs.
š” LisaĀ stopped spiralling over āWhat if Iām too expensive?ā and started charging her worthāwith joy.
Ā š” EmmaĀ finally sent her first ever follow-up emailāand booked a Ā£2.5K client.
Ā š” SarahĀ rewired her old belief that selling was āickyā and now LOVES her discovery calls.
Are You Ready to Shift Gears?
Hereās the deal: you canāt build a thriving business with a shrinking mindset.
The biggest difference between women who succeed and those who stay stuck?Ā
Itās not talent. Itās not resources. Itās not luck.
Ā š Itās mindset. Full stop.
