Letâs get one thing straight:
Sales isnât about being slick.Â
Itâs about being real.
You can have the prettiest website, the best offer in the world, and the perfect price point but if your sales conversations fall flat?
Youâre leaving money, clients, and confidence on the table.
And letâs be honest:
Most women werenât taught how to sell.Â
We were taught to convince, prove, or perform.Â
No wonder it feels clunky.
But what if you could approach sales like a heart-led conversation instead of a high-pressure pitch?
The Stats Say It All
đ Only 13%Â of buyers believe a salesperson truly understands their needs. (HubSpot)Â
đ 78%Â of buyers purchase from the first person who adds value. (Salesforce)Â
đ Focusing on the clientâs outcome, not the product, increases conversions by 50%. (Gartner)
TranslationâŠ
 ⚠Less talking. More listening.
 ⚠Less convincing. More connecting.
 ⚠Less performing. More presence.
The 3 Common Mistakes That Sabotage Sales Conversations
â Mistake #1: Talking Too Much
If youâre doing 80% of the talking, your client is tuning out.
Vibrancy Reframe:Â Your goal isnât to impress, itâs to understand.Â
Let them speak.Â
Ask powerful, open-ended questions that help them uncover their why.
Try this: âWhatâs the biggest challenge youâre currently facing withâŠ?â and then wait⊠donât speak.
Let the silence do its magic.
â Mistake #2: Selling the Features, Not the Fix
Nobody buys a coaching session.Â
They buy the outcome.Â
The transformation.Â
The âafterâ picture.
Vibrancy Reframe: Your job isnât to list what they get⊠itâs to show them what life looks like after working with you.
Instead of saying: âYou get 6 calls and a workbook.âSay: âYouâll leave with a crystal-clear sales process and the confidence to charge your worth without flinching.â
â Mistake #3: Tiptoeing Around Price
When you hesitate, they feel it.Â
When you mumble, they mirror your uncertainty.
Vibrancy Reframe:Â State your price like you state your name. Calm. Clear. Certain.
Try this: âThe investment is ÂŁX. youâre ready to move forward?â
