Most sales advice is garbage. I’m fixing that by building killers, not closers. Skool @ The Sales Architect

Prospecting = rejection exposure therapy.
Negotiations = professional poker faces with budgets.
Sales = therapy disguised as discovery.
Every buyer loves ROI slides. None read them.
Prospect brains: dopamine when excited, cortisol when pressured.
Funny thing: buyers say “we’ll think about it” = “we’re scared.”
Sales psychology = Jedi mind tricks with quotas.
Buyers buy certainty, not software.
Sales isn’t persuasion. It’s alignment with psychology.
Decision bias drives deals more than features ever will.
If you don’t understand buyer fears, you don’t understand sales.
Trust > product in every deal.
Objections are emotional, not rational.
Selling without psychology is guessing.
Buyers don’t buy logically. They justify logically. They buy emotionally.
Productivity flywheel: Plan → Execute → Review → Repeat.
Manager drill: Review rep calendars weekly.
Pomodoro system: 25 min dials, 5 min reset.
Morning routine: CRM review → pipeline focus → prospecting first.
Daily checklist: Top 3 accounts, 10 dials, 5 emails.
Weekly reset: Review wins, pipeline gaps, re-block calendar.
Calendar setup: Green = revenue, Yellow = admin, Red = wasted.
Daily planner: Prospect 9–11, Demo blocks PM, Admin after 4.
Every top performer I’ve seen runs their time like a CEO.
I once learned the hard way: skipping prospect blocks = empty pipeline.
