Let’s start with a little truth bomb:
The #1 secret to selling has nothing to do with your sales skills.

It’s not about having the perfect pitch.
It’s not about the slickest CTA.
It’s not even about your fancy sales page.

It’s about understanding how and why people buy.

Because if you don’t understand what’s driving your ideal client’s decision-making… your strategy is built on guesswork. And guesswork doesn’t close sales.

The truth is, sales doesn’t start with a sale.
It starts with psychology.

That’s exactly why we’ve built an entire unit on “Why People Buy” inside the Scale to $5K® membership. Because the second you understand your buyer’s behavior, you can build a sales process that actually works.

Let’s break it down.

Step 1: Define the Real Problem

Buyer behavior starts with one key moment: awareness.

No one is buying if they don’t believe they have a problem. And often, your audience doesn’t even know what that problem is—until you articulate it.

So what’s the biggest problem your ideal client is facing in their business?

And I don’t mean the fluffy “I want more time” kind of answer. I mean the real problem—in their words—with the real emotion attached.

Let’s look at an example:

“You feel overwhelmed every time you sit down to work. You’re being pulled in a million directions. Should you launch a group program? A passive offer? Maybe do a freebie or a funnel? Meanwhile, your favorite coach just dropped her $20k month strategy, and now you’re second-guessing everything again.”

Emotion = Overwhelmed & Unproductive

See how specific that is? The moment your dream client sees themselves in your content is the moment they start to trust that you understand them—and that you can help.

Step 2: Present the Path to Their Solution

Once they’re aware of the problem, your next job is to guide them toward the solution. And no, the solution isn’t always your program yet—it’s a process they can believe in.

Back to our example:

“The truth is, you don’t need five new offers. You need one. Start with your 1:1 coaching container and build your business from there. Your time, energy, and results will go further when you focus.”

This isn’t just about solving the problem. It’s about reframing the situation so your client feels empowered, capable, and seen.

In buyer psychology, this is called identity reinforcement—you’re helping them become the version of themselves they want to be.

Step 3: Insert Yourself as the Guide, Not the Hero

This is the most overlooked part of selling: You are not the hero of the story. Your client is.

Your role? The trusted guide who knows the way. The Yoda to their Luke Skywalker. The coach who gets them, not just someone who wants to “get” the sale.

Here’s how you insert yourself:

“This is something I help all of my clients with inside my sales coaching programs. In fact, one client went from juggling three half-baked offers to signing out her 1:1 container with ease—and then launched her group program from a place of power. We call this process Income Stacking, and it’s one of the pillars of Scale to $5K®.”

See the difference? It’s not “look how great I am,” it’s “look how I can help you.”

Let’s Be Real…

Most people don’t fail in business because their content isn’t good enough.
They fail because their sales strategy ignores the psychology of buying.

They throw up offers and cross their fingers. They post generic content and hope someone bites. And then they wonder why no one is buying.

Here’s the real reason: They’re not making it about the client.

If you want consistent sales, you need to know:

• What your audience is struggling with (in their words)
• What emotions are fueling their frustration
• What they believe will solve the problem (and where you fit into that solution)
