Description

In Episode 3 of our Trench Tips series, we break down Chapter 3 of Sales Is Therapy: “Welcome to the Jungle.” We all carry prehistoric wiring - and in sales, those old survival instincts can sabotage us.

This episode dives into why fight-or-flight kicks in during cold calls, tough conversations, and high-pressure moments… and how to retrain your brain so you can stay calm, present, and in control. If you’ve ever felt panic dialing, overthinking, or the urge to avoid selling altogether, this one will resonate with you.
