How Sellers Miss the 1% That Costs Them Sales

What if your sales conversations aren't failing because you're doing something wrong?

What if they're failing because you're missing one thing that matters most?

In this episode of The Sales Pulse Podcast, Marla Koupal reveals why sellers often spend their time improving the wrong parts of the sales process. Scripts, presentations, features, benefits, and objection handling all have their place, but one missed question, one unspoken concern, or one overlooked buyer emotion can outweigh everything else.

You'll learn:

• Why curiosity outperforms persuasion
 • How assumptions quietly sink sales conversations
 • What buyers really mean when they say, "I need to think about it"
 • Why experienced sellers can become less curious over time
 • How to uncover the missing information buyers need before they can choose

Whether you're a coach, consultant, entrepreneur, network marketer, direct seller, or sales professional, this episode will help you create clearer conversations, stronger trust, and better buyer decisions.

 Welcome to The Sales Pulse Podcast, where selling isn’t a performance,,,it’s a conversation. I’m Marla Koupal, your Sales Fluency Guide. After decades in sales, here’s the truth: the close isn’t where the sale happens—it’s where the buyer lands after a strong beginning. We’ll focus more on how you open the conversation and connect with how your buyer thinks so that closing never feels like a wrestling match.
