What Does It Mean To Be Salesy?

Nate Morse

Yesterday I was having this conversation on LinkedIn.

It was going well.

We were talking about tools to help with content.

Which is a fun topic.

Then he sends this: “Are you crushing it or could your course use a boost in sales?”

I immediately get that all familiar feeling.

“Awe man, come on” I think to myself.

All the momentum the conversation had was now gone.

Feels like we’re in a new conversation.

Like a train that derailed.

It felt “Salesy”.

And “How do I not be salesy?” is a common question I get.

We know the “ick” feeling, but how do we avoid giving it?

And “salesy” doesn’t actually give that much detail why mechanically it happens.

So I wold like to take a stab at breaking it down for you

As the saying goes, “people love to buy but don’t like to be sold”.

And what I believe that’s really talking about, is change.

You see, Instead of asking if I wanted to change, with a close ended question, he could have had a way higher chance of getting me as a client if he asked open ended questions around how things are going.

If I voice I want to change, that’s me moving to the next stage of the buyer’s journey.

There is no need to push people.

Lead them.
