Key Takeaways: 


The first kind of sales bucket is Order Taker- 


  • They often believe in the tainted stigma around salespeople, you know pushy and untrustworthy and this keeps them stuck because they have a closed mind around selling and want nothing to do with it. 

  • They may have an Etsy shop where they expect people to reach out to them knowing what they want (putting in their order essentially) and then delivering. 

  • Zero consultation

  • Although may have aspirations likely won’t grow the business beyond volume of taking orders. 



The 2nd kind of sales bucket is The Hustler


  • Their mindset is “I gotta get mine” 

  • They think they can plow through by putting in more hours and more time will get them more sales 

  • They sell from an intrinsic mindset and can come across pushy, arrogant, and untrustworthy. 

  • They bypass understanding their prospect on a deep level and move straight into feature selling. 



The 3rd kind of sales bucket is The Casual Seller


  • Often closed off to sales coaching because they have strong feelings around the stigma of sales (manipulative & deceitful tactics) 

  • They try to sell with limited tools and resources through their jaded lens

  • Often they put blame on others saying things like “the prospect just doesn't know what they want” 

  • Often they will be the ones who discount and try all other things first to get a new client - the ironic part- they are part of what creates the slimy stigma



The 4th and final bucket- the one we are all aspiring to achieve is The Change Agent


  • Motivated to serve people

  • The mindset is around taking ownership and accountability for the outcome and experience their prospects have 

  • They focus on having powerful conversations that will help people take the important next steps to solve their pain. 

  • Often they think- it is my job to lead a prospect through a process that creates clarity on whether purchasing your solution is right for them.
