Podcast Ep 388 - How to Not be a Used Car Salesman
Episode 388
Monday, 17 November, 2025

What do a used car salesman and your sales energy have in common? In this heartfelt and surprisingly hilarious episode, Heather shares her daughter's first car-buying experience to reveal powerful lessons about selling from a place of service—not pressure. Tune in to learn how authenticity can transform even the most "salesy" moments into meaningful, trust-building connections. Key Takeaways: The energy behind your words—not just the script—determines how people feel about your "pitch." Selling doesn't have to feel gross; when done from genuine service, even "Please buy this today" can feel kind and caring. Confidence is built through small decisions and real-world experiences—watching someone grow into that is powerful. Not everyone in sales is pushy—there's a big difference between get energy and give/service energy. How to Support the Podcast: Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.
