Listen "Staying in the Game When Conversations Go Sideways"
Episode Synopsis
What separates the sales professionals who consistently close deals from those who accept rejection too easily isn't charisma, product knowledge, or years of experience. It's conversation resilience: the ability to maintain composure and curiosity when discussions take unwelcome turns. In this episode of Breaking Sales, Dan explores this critical skill. Through his personal story of landing his first coaching client after sixteen months of failures, Dan demonstrates how conversation resilience converted apparent rejection into a closed deal. You'll discover what it actually takes to stay engaged in conversations when your instinct screams to retreat, apologize, or accept defeat—and why the professionals who master this skill don't panic when conversations go south. Whether you're encountering prospects who seem disengaged despite strong referrals, facing unexpected resistance, or struggling to maintain confidence when discussions turn negative, this episode will show you how to build the mindset that keeps you in the game when it matters most.
