@vicktipnes: You don't need words to tell someone you're desperate for the sale. Your posture, your pace, your eye contact it all broadcasts it before you open your mouth. Think about it: you can spot a desperate person across a room in seconds. No conversation needed. Just your energy speaks louder than words. Sales works the same way. The prospect feels your need before they hear your pitch. And the second they sense it, they pull back. The fix isn't a better script. It's releasing the grip. → Detach from the outcome. → Show up because you *want* to help, not because you *need* the check. → Let "if I get it, cool, if I don't, I keep working" become your default state. That's the energy that actually closes deals.
