💬 Episode Summary

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I being too pushy?” or “Is sales just…manipulation in a blazer?”—this one’s for you.

In this episode, Scott and Brooke tackle a loaded question: Is all sales manipulation? (Spoiler: Nope.)

Brooke shares what actually crosses the line into manipulation—and how you can confidently sell without falling into tactics that make your skin crawl. With stories from her own sales journey (and one spicy dinner-table convo with her mother-in-law 👀), you’ll walk away knowing the difference between leading with service and just trying to seal the deal.

Because you don’t have to be a jerk to be good at sales.

📌 What You’ll Learn
  • The difference between discomfort and manipulation (they’re not the same!)
  • A gut-check question to know if your sales convo is crossing the line
  • Why traditional urgency tactics often feel gross—and what to do instead
  • How to handle objections and still sleep well at night
  • What happens when you lead with actual integrity (hint: referrals!)
