Why Pushy Sales Reps Lose Deals — And What Consultative Selling Pros Do Differently

Have you ever dealt with a pushy salesperson who made you want to walk out within minutes? We’ve all been there — and the truth is, most reps were trained to sell that way.

When I began my career in territory sales, I made the same mistakes. Everything changed when I met a mentor who introduced me to Consultative Selling — the skill of asking questions, uncovering real needs, and presenting solutions that truly fit the client.

That shift helped my clients raise over $1 billion in sales, and it can help you too.

In this video, you’ll learn:

Why pushy selling fails instantly

The mindset shift top producers make

How consultative conversations build trust

Real examples from my 30+ years in sales

Identify high-value opportunities and gaps in your clients’ business

Offer tailored solutions that solve real problems

Share mini success stories to position yourself as a trusted consultant

Collaborate with clients on future goals for win-win results
