Don't be sales-y or gross.

I’m not sure that “sales-y” is a real word.

But when you hear it, you know exactly what I mean, right?

For me, it’s usually followed by “and gross.”

“Ugh. He's so sales-y and gross.”

I can feel it when I’m around a salesperson who is creating an uncomfortable energy between us.

They’re moving in too quickly “for the kill” and I am not ready.

I feel it when I see an ad for a system that guarantees that once I throw down my credit card, I will “crush my sales goals.”

Gross.

The insurance agents I coach are neither sales-y nor gross.

They are real people who want to align themselves with clients who value their relationships with them beyond the insurance transaction.

They are motivated and driven and they are self-aware.

And they are as committed to doing the deep work on themselves as they are their sales practice.

If you’re craving support that is neither sales-y nor gross as you show up for your ideal clients - I can help.

While the first step is up to you, it's as simple as messaging me here.

Over to you: In one word, how do you feel when you're around someone who is sales-y? Love to see your response in the comments below!
