🔍 Why Most People Struggle with Sales
Ask 10 struggling salespeople what’s going wrong, and you’ll hear things like:
-
“Leads are bad.”
-
“The product sells itself.”
-
“I’m not a natural closer.”
Here’s the truth: sales isn’t about being pushy or lucky—it’s about building the right system, using the right words, and truly understanding your buyer.
So… what’s the real secret to sales?
💡 1. The #1 Sales Secret: Solve, Don’t Sell
Customers don’t want your product—they want a solution to their problem.
🔑 Top sellers don’t pitch. They diagnose.
Before you push a sale, ask better questions:
-
“What’s the biggest challenge you’re facing with X?”
-
“How are you currently solving this?”
-
“What would it mean for your business/life if this was fixed?”
When you focus on value and transformation, the sale closes itself.
🧠 2. Understand Buyer Psychology
Sales is 80% psychology and 20% pitch.
✅ People buy on emotion, then justify with logic.
Use the following proven psychological triggers:
-
Scarcity – “Only 5 slots left this week”
-
Social proof – “100+ clients saw a 2x ROI”
-
Authority – Show credentials, awards, real results
-
Reciprocity – Give something useful before asking for anything (free demo, resource, trial)
📲 3. Use Tools That Close Deals for You
Today’s sales pros leverage tech stacks to do the heavy lifting:
| Tool Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| CRM Systems | HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM |
| Lead Scoring Tools | Apollo, Clay, Lusha |
| Email Outreach | Mailshake, Lemlist, Instantly.ai |
| Proposal Automation | PandaDoc, Proposify |
| Call Recording + AI | Gong, Avoma, Fireflies.ai |
Sales secret: automate follow-ups. Most deals are closed in the 5th or 6th touch—not the first.
💬 4. Your Words Matter (Sales Copy = Conversion Engine)
Whether you sell online, in DMs, or on sales calls, the words you use can make or break the deal.
Replace:
-
❌ “Let me know if you’re interested”
With:
✅ “Would it make sense to discuss how this could help you save [X amount of time/money]?”
Use “you” more than “we,” focus on benefits, not features, and close with a clear next step.
🔁 5. Follow-Up Like a Pro (Without Being Annoying)
80% of sales happen after the 5th touch, but most reps give up after two.
Instead of repeating “Just checking in,” try:
-
“Thought you might find this useful—[attach value]”
-
“Still on your radar?”
-
“Wanted to follow up before we close the books this month”
Use CRMs to automate and personalize the entire process.

✅ Final Thoughts: Sales Is a Skill, Not a Personality
The real secret to sales is this:
💥 “Consistency beats charisma. Systems beat scripts.”
It’s not about being the loudest, most extroverted person in the room. It’s about understanding the person across from you and offering something they truly need—with confidence, clarity, and the right follow-up.
