This person is confident, direct and high energy. It’s usually the person everyone pictures the moment they hear the word "salesperson." So naturally, they must be the most successful, right? No. This personality does not always mean an amazing salesperson you should hire.

Too quiet. Too detailed. Too precise. Too introverted. Not the loud, aggressive, "natural" closer type the test was built to reward. He ignored it. Fifteen years later, he's been the top performing salesperson at every single company he's worked for, selling air compressors and steel to… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/5kjk4i5stf2tewzm/SNDW_EP_163_FINAL_AUDIOa7171.mp3) ## [The Editors Sharp Eye: Nothing Is Wasted](https://jenniferlauck.substack.com/p/the-editors-sharp-eye-nothing-is) _2026-07-21 · Jennifer Lauck · Blackbird's Flight School with Jennifer Lauck_ What Tay Hohoff, who edited Harper Lee, saw in Go Set a Watchman.

Sometimes people see it as curiosity. Sometimes they see it as overwhelming. Either way, it turns out that tendency became the foundation of my entire sales personality.

A prospect hesitates or a concern comes up and most salespeople immediately move into persuasion mode. They reassure, justify and defend. Because they’ve been taught that objections are obstacles to overcome instead of signals to understand. In this episode, I unpack why trying to convince someone out of their concern… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/pwvmte55tvmgmfui/SNDW_160_FINAL_AUDIO_6qeoa.mp3) ## [How to Handle Discount Conversations in Sales](https://salesisnotadirtyword.podbean.com/e/how-to-handle-discount-conversations-in-sales/) _2026-05-21 · Sales is NOT a Dirty Word_ Someone asked for a discount and suddenly your entire nervous system lit up.

It isn’t. Get it wrong early and you create a situation that’s hard to fix. You either end up with a salesperson negotiating from a position you can’t push back on, or a top performer reconsidering their role after a change to commission. Both are expensive.

They say they’re good. And then nothing happens. That’s not clarity. That’s someone being polite while checking out.

However in more complex deals with larger companies, you rarely get the CEO first. You speak with the CMO, the ops lead, the SEO manager, or the HR director. In other words, there is a person standing between you and the final yes. If you approach them the same way you would the CEO, there’s a bigger… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/8ti87bk5n4iz6muq/SNDW_156_AUDIObedfe.mp3) ## [Screen Share With Real Control (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/4ajRK1Wfl239) _2026-04-09 · **Sponsored**_ Collaborative screen sharing with simultaneous remote control — open source, like Screenhero. ## [Define Your Anti-Audience and Increase Your Sales](https://salesisnotadirtyword.podbean.com/e/define-your-anti-audience-and-increase-your-sales/) _2026-03-26 · Sales is NOT a Dirty Word_ Most people can describe their target audience. Very few can clearly articulate who they are not for. That blind spot is expensive. It shows up as nightmare clients who drain your energy and income more than adding to it.
