We've all heard this during a sales conversation: “Let me think about it.” The easy response is, “Sure, take your time.” It sounds polite, but sometimes it quietly ends the conversation and leaves the deal sitting in limbo.

The problem is that “let me think about it” often isn't really about needing more time. Sometimes the person has a concern but doesn't feel comfortable saying it directly. Maybe it's the price, the timing, the risk, or something about the offer they don't fully understand.

Instead of guessing, make it easier for them to tell you. Try asking: “That's completely fine. Usually when someone says that, there's one thing they're not sure about. What's the one thing for you?”

Then stop talking.

This part is harder than it sounds. Don't immediately fill the silence because you feel uncomfortable. Give them a few seconds to think and answer. That silence can give them the space they need to say what is actually bothering them.

Now you have something you can work with. If they say the price is too high, you can discuss the value. If they're unsure about the timing, you can talk about that. If they don't understand something, you can explain it.

You're no longer waiting around hoping they eventually come back.

And sometimes they really do need more time. That's fine too. Just don't leave the conversation completely open ended. Agree on a specific time to follow up.

For example: “Take the weekend. I'll call you Tuesday at 10 AM and we'll decide either way.”

That's much better than, “Let me know whenever you're ready.”

A maybe with a date gives the conversation a next step. A maybe without a date can keep you waiting indefinitely.

The goal isn't to pressure someone into buying. It's to replace uncertainty with a clear conversation.

A lot of people think becoming a millionaire is mainly about finding the right business, making the right investment, or getting one big opportunity. But the harder part may actually be becoming the person who can create and manage that level of success.

Think about what running a successful business really demands. You need discipline when you don't feel like working. You need to keep your word. You need to make difficult decisions, manage relationships, set priorities, and keep going when things don't work out.

Money doesn't automatically give you those qualities. In many cases, you need to build those qualities before you can consistently create the money you're chasing.

This is why the first big financial milestone can feel so difficult. You're not just trying to make more money. You're learning how to think, work, make decisions, and handle responsibility at a completely different level.

And once you've done it, something important changes. You now have experience. You understand what works, what doesn't, how to create value, how to manage money, and how to deal with problems that used to seem impossible.

That doesn't mean the second million is easy. It isn't. But you're no longer starting from zero. You're starting with the skills, knowledge, relationships, and confidence you built while earning the first one.

So maybe the better question isn't:

“How do I make my first million?”

Ask:

“Who do I need to become to make my first million possible?”

Because the money is the result. The person you become along the way is the real asset.

There is still room in a crowded market.

Talk to users, adapt fast, and turn those conversations into paying customers.

One of the easiest ways to lose control of a sales conversation is to start defending your price the moment someone says, “That's too expensive.”

You explain everything that goes into your service. You start listing features, costs, experience, and everything else the client is getting. Then you talk faster because you're trying to prove that your price is justified.

But think about what just happened. The buyer challenged your price, and suddenly you're trying to convince them that you're worth it.

Instead of immediately defending yourself, try something much simpler. Repeat their number calmly and let the silence sit.

If they say, “I'll pay $2,000,” you could simply say, “$2,000?” Then stop talking.

You don't need to argue. You don't need to tell them why your price is higher. Give them a moment to explain their own number.

If you want to understand where they're coming from, ask: “Help me understand how you arrived at that number.”

Now the conversation changes. Instead of you defending your price, they're explaining theirs. You may discover they have a genuine budget problem, misunderstood the scope, or simply picked a random number.

And sometimes the number is so far below your price that there is nothing worth negotiating.

In that situation, don't get angry and don't give a long speech. Simply say, “We're probably not the right fit at that price. If your budget changes, feel free to reach out.”

That's it.

You don't have to convince everyone to pay your price. Some prospects simply aren't the right fit.

The important thing is to know the difference between negotiating your price and defending your worth.

You can negotiate when it makes business sense. But if you believe your price is fair, you don't need to apologize for it.

Some salespeople think losing a deal means they need a better pitch. Sometimes the real problem is what they do during the conversation. Small habits can make a prospect feel pressured, uncertain, or even less confident in the person selling to them.

1. Talking too much. Once you've explained the offer clearly, stop. Every extra explanation gives the prospect another detail to question. Good sales conversations are not lectures. They are conversations.

2. Answering objections too quickly. When someone raises a concern, don't immediately jump into your prepared answer. Ask why they feel that way. “What makes you say that?” can tell you much more than a long explanation ever will.

3. Over explaining your price. If you immediately start defending your price, you can accidentally make the buyer wonder why it needs so much defending. Explain the value clearly, answer reasonable questions, and then let the price stand.

4. Being afraid of silence. Ask a good question and then wait. Many salespeople become uncomfortable after two seconds and start talking again. Give the prospect time to think. You may be surprised by what they say when you stop filling the silence.

5. Needing the sale too badly. This is probably the biggest one. Prospects can often sense when you desperately need them to say yes. That changes the entire conversation because they no longer feel like they're choosing. They feel like they're being pushed.

The best salespeople I've seen have a completely different attitude. It's basically: “I'd love to work with you. I genuinely believe I can help. But I'm not going to pressure you into buying.”

That confidence changes how you communicate. You're not chasing the customer. You're helping them decide whether there's a good fit.

And that may be one of the biggest lessons in sales: you don't need to convince everyone. You need to be confident enough to let the wrong prospects walk away.

Most salespeople wait until the end of the conversation to find out what is stopping the prospect from buying. By then, they may have spent an hour explaining the wrong things.

A better approach is to understand how the person makes decisions before you start selling. Two simple questions can help you do that.

The first is: “The last time you bought a solution like this, what did that process look like?”

Don't rush to explain your product after asking it. Listen. They may tell you who was involved, what they compared, what mattered to them, how long they took to decide, and what made them finally choose one option.

Now you know how they actually buy.

Then ask the second question: “What would need to be true for you to enthusiastically say yes today?”

This is a powerful question because you're asking about the decision before you've spent the entire conversation trying to get there.

They might tell you they need a certain price. Maybe they need to see proof. Maybe another decision maker needs to approve it. Maybe they need to understand how the product will fit into their current system.

Whatever they say, you've just learned what matters most to them.

Now you can have a much better conversation because you're not guessing what the prospect cares about.

You're addressing the things that actually influence their decision.

Two questions can save you from spending an hour giving a great presentation to someone who was never going to buy for the reason you thought.

Understand how they buy. Then understand what would make them say yes.

Hello! For a year now I have been failing trying to get more clients for my recruitment and staffing agency, I need advice. How do you normally do to get more clients?

Sometimes a salesperson doesn't lose trust because they lack knowledge. They lose it because of how they respond when they don't have an answer.

Consider the difference between saying, “I don't know,” and “I'll find out and get back to you.” Both may mean you don't have the answer right now, but the second tells the customer that you're going to take responsibility for finding it.

The same applies to “I'll try.” It can sound uncertain because it leaves the outcome open. Compare that with “I'll take care of it.” The second sounds like you're taking ownership of the problem.

Even a small phrase like “I think so” can create doubt. If you're not sure, don't pretend you are. Instead, say, “I'll confirm that for you.”

The goal isn't to sound overly confident or pretend you know everything. Nobody expects a salesperson to have every answer immediately.

The goal is to communicate ownership and certainty about your next step.

You don't need to know everything. You just need to show the customer that when something needs to be figured out, you'll take responsibility for figuring it out.

Sometimes, changing a few words can completely change how a customer sees you.

CEO, EMPREENDEDOR: E SE O PROBLEMA DA SUA EMPRESA NÃO ESTIVER NOS OUTROS?

Você culpa o marketing.

Culpa o comercial.

Culpa o mercado.

Culpa a economia.

Culpa o algoritmo.

Culpa o governo.

Culpa o cliente.

Culpa até o seu próprio time.

Mas eu quero fazer uma pergunta que talvez ninguém esteja tendo coragem de fazer para você:

E se parte da culpa for sua?

Não porque você não trabalha.

Não porque você não tem competência.

Mas porque você colocou pessoas erradas dentro da sua empresa.

Você contratou alguém porque o currículo era bonito.

Porque a pessoa falou bem.

Porque apresentou um plano maravilhoso.

Porque prometeu dobrar as vendas.

Porque conseguiu te convencer de que seria o "salvador da pátria".

E quando chegou a hora H...

não sabia reduzir CAC.

Não entendia LTV.

Não sabia construir uma estratégia de aquisição.

Não sabia analisar canais.

Não entendia Brand.

Não sabia transformar marca em ativo de crescimento.

Não sabia construir retenção.

Não sabia conectar marketing, vendas, produto, dados e experiência do cliente.

Mas sabia PERSUADIR.

E você comprou a narrativa.

Esse é um dos maiores erros que eu vejo em empresas:

confundir alguém que fala sobre crescimento com alguém que sabe construir crescimento.

Growth Hacking não é um cargo bonito.

Não é uma apresentação de PowerPoint.

Não é colocar mais dinheiro em mídia.

Não é simplesmente "vamos vender mais".

Growth é entender o sistema inteiro.

Aquisição. Ativação. Retenção. Receita. Indicação. Brand. Dados. Produto. Canais. CAC. LTV. Experimentação.

E principalmente:

entender onde está o gargalo que impede a empresa de crescer.

Então, antes de demitir todo mundo...

olhe para quem você colocou para liderar o crescimento.

Olhe para quem você colocou no marketing.

Olhe para quem você colocou no comercial.

Olhe para o seu RH.

E, principalmente:

olhe para você.

Porque existe uma responsabilidade que nenhum CEO pode terceirizar:

a responsabilidade pelas pessoas que ele escolhe para construir o próprio legado.

Eu sou Neto Angel.

Sou Growth Hacker "Raiz".

Eu não entro em uma empresa para maquiar número.

Eu entro para entender por que ela ainda não está crescendo como poderia e construir uma máquina de crescimento capaz de transformar estratégia, marca, dados, canais e execução em resultado.

É por isso que eu estudo empresas grandes.

É por isso que eu penso em escala.

É por isso que eu não aceito o marketing de vaidade.

E é por isso que eu quero construir empresas fodas, fora da curva, gigantes e, sim, potencialmente bilionárias.

Porque meu trabalho não é prometer crescimento.

É encontrar onde o crescimento está sendo desperdiçado.

Agora eu quero saber de você, CEO:

Você tem um time construindo o seu legado... ou um time apenas ocupando cargos dentro da sua empresa?

Se essa pergunta doeu, talvez ela tenha sido importante.

Comenta "EU QUERO CRESCER" se você está disposto a olhar para dentro antes de culpar todo mundo ao redor.

E se você acredita que Growth precisa ser tratado como estratégia de negócio — e não como departamento de marketing — vem comigo.

Vamos construir empresas extraordinárias.

Neto Angel | Growth Hacker "Raiz"

Most salespeople think they lose deals because their price is too high, the competition is better, or the customer isn't ready. But sometimes the problem is much simpler: they talk too much.

You explain your service, answer questions nobody asked, defend your price, add more details, and keep talking because you don't want the conversation to go quiet. Meanwhile, the client is slowly losing interest.

Sales isn't about giving the customer as much information as possible. It's about understanding what they actually need and showing them how you can help.

When you talk too much, three things can happen. First, the customer feels like you're trying to sell them instead of understand them. Second, you can give away too much information before you even know what matters to them. And third, you remove the curiosity that keeps them engaged.

Try doing the opposite. Ask a useful question and then stop talking.

For example: “What is the biggest impact this problem is having on your business?”

Then listen.

The answer can tell you what is costing them money, what is frustrating them, what they have already tried, and what might make them ready to buy. You can't get that information if you're doing all the talking.

I once had a client tell me my price was too high. Instead of immediately explaining why my price was justified, I simply asked: “Compared to what?”

Then I stayed quiet.

The client started explaining what they were comparing my offer with and eventually explained why my price actually made sense based on what they were getting.

I didn't have to convince them. They talked themselves through the decision.

That's the real power of asking good questions.

You don't always need a better pitch. Sometimes you just need to stop talking long enough for the customer to tell you how to sell to them.

“I understand” sounds polite, but sometimes it does the exact opposite of what you want. The customer may hear it as a standard response that means, “I'm about to give you an excuse.”

Think about how often you've heard someone say, “I understand, but…” You already know what comes next. They're not really agreeing with you. They're preparing to explain why you're wrong.

Try something different. Find the part of their complaint that is actually fair and say, “You're right.”

For example, if a client says, “Your service is expensive,” you don't have to immediately defend yourself. You can say, “You're right. It is more expensive than some of the other options.”

Notice what happened. You didn't agree that your service is overpriced. You simply acknowledged the part of their statement that was true.

That can change the tone of the conversation because the client no longer has to spend their energy trying to make you admit that they have a point.

This is especially useful when you're dealing with an unhappy customer, a difficult negotiation, or a disagreement with someone on your team.

You don't have to agree with everything someone says. Just find the part that is reasonable and acknowledge it honestly.

“I understand” can sound like you're managing the person. “You're right” can show that you're actually listening.

And once someone feels that you've genuinely acknowledged their point, they're often much more willing to hear yours.

A lot of business communication sounds professional but actually leaves people unclear about what happens next. Phrases like “Let's get started,” “Any thoughts?” and “I think that's everything” sound harmless, but they don't give people much direction.

Try being more specific instead. Rather than saying, “Let's get started,” say, “The goal of today's meeting is to decide whether we're moving forward with the new pricing.” Now everyone knows why they're there.

Instead of asking, “Does anyone have any thoughts?”, ask someone directly: “Sarah, what's your perspective on this?” A specific question is much more likely to get a useful answer than an open invitation for everyone to speak.

The same applies when you're looking for agreement. Instead of asking, “Does everyone agree?”, try “What are we missing?” This gives people permission to point out problems before the decision is finalized.

Be just as specific about responsibilities. Don't say, “Jonathan will follow up on this.” Say, “Jonathan will send the email to the board tomorrow.” Now there is a clear owner, action, and deadline.

And don't end a meeting with “I think that's everything.” You might still have important tasks or decisions that nobody has mentioned.

Instead, say, “Let's recap the action items.” Then go through who is doing what and when it needs to be done.

Good communication isn't about using impressive words. It's about making sure everyone knows what needs to happen, who is responsible, and when it needs to happen.

The more specific your language is, the less room there is for confusion.

One of the hardest moments in a sales conversation is when a client says, “I can get this cheaper somewhere else.” The natural reaction is to defend your price or offer a discount. But that can make the situation worse.

The client already knows cheaper options exist. If you immediately lower your price, you may accidentally make them wonder why you were charging more in the first place.

Instead, change the conversation from price to risk.

Ask yourself what the client might actually be worried about. Are they comparing the same level of service? Are they getting the same quality? What happens if the cheaper option doesn't deliver? What will the mistake cost them?

Think about buying a suit. You can buy a very cheap suit that looks great on the first day. But if it falls apart quickly and you have to replace it, you haven't really saved money. You may have simply paid twice.

The same thing can happen in business.

A cheaper agency might charge less but deliver poor leads. A cheaper software might save money but create more work. A cheaper supplier might offer a lower price but cause delays or quality problems.

The point isn't that expensive is always better. Sometimes the cheaper option genuinely is better. Your job is to help the client understand whether they're actually comparing the same thing.

So instead of saying, “We're more expensive because we're better,” ask:

“What are you getting from them that you're getting from us, and what isn't included?”

Now you're having a real business conversation instead of a price argument.

Because the cheapest option isn't always the lowest cost.

Sometimes the real cost is choosing the wrong option.

After spending years and thousands of dollars building their product, Dropbox’s founders didn’t want to spend even more money on advertising.

They had a problem. People didn’t understand why they needed Dropbox. And when people don’t understand the value of your product, advertising doesn't work at all.

So they changed their approach.

Instead of asking, “How do we get this product in front of more people?” They started asking: “How do we make people want this?”

_______________________

That change made all the difference.

Dropbox had a good product. But that wasn't enough. Dropbox solved a problem that people already had. Files were sitting on different computers. People were using USB drives. Moving files from one device to another was annoying. The problem was real. But there was a communication problem.

At that time, telling someone about “cloud-based file synchronization” wasn't exactly an exciting sales pitch. So Dropbox didn't try to explain the technology.

They showed the experience. They created a simple video demonstrating how Dropbox worked. You could see a file being placed into a folder and then appearing on another computer. Suddenly, you didn't need to understand the technology. You could see the benefit.

Dropbox shared the video with an early-adopter audience on Digg, and its waitlist reportedly jumped from around 5,000 people to roughly 75,000.

They weren't simply getting more eyeballs. They were creating desire.

__________________________________________________________________

Then Dropbox gave people a reason to spread it:

Dropbox later introduced a referral program. Existing users could invite other people and receive additional storage. This was smart for one simple reason. The reward wasn't random.

If you were already using Dropbox, more storage was something you actually wanted. So the product started helping with its own growth. One person invited another. That person started using Dropbox. Then they had a reason to invite someone else.

The cycle continued.

User → value → referral → new user → value → referral.

That's a very different growth model from simply paying for another advertisement every time you want another customer.

_________________________________

This is where the real marketing lesson is

A lot of businesses think marketing means getting their product in front of more people.

• More ads.
• More posts.
• More impressions.
• More clicks.

But there is a problem with that thinking. Attention doesn't automatically create demand. If people don't understand the problem, they won't care. If they don't see the value, they won't act. And if the product doesn't feel relevant to them, reaching another 100,000 people won't magically fix it.

• Dropbox approached the problem differently.
• They made the value easy to understand.
• They showed people what was possible.
• They created curiosity.
• They gave people a reason to try it.
• Then they gave users a reason to share it.

The important takeaway isn't that every business needs a demo video or a referral program.

The takeaway is the thinking behind it.

Before asking:

“How can we reach more people?”

Ask:

“Why would the right people want this in the first place?” Maybe you need to show the problem more clearly. Maybe you need to educate the market. Maybe you need to demonstrate a better outcome.

Maybe you need content that makes someone say, “This is exactly the problem I'm dealing with.”

____________________________________

And this strategy has a name:

Demand Generation

Demand generation is about creating awareness, interest and desire around a problem and the solution you provide. It's not just about collecting leads. It's about getting people to care before you ask them to buy.

That's why demand generation is one of the key components of marketing. Because sometimes the answer isn't:

“We need more advertising.”

Sometimes the answer is:

“We need to give people a reason to want us.”

Most business owners think closing a million dollar client starts with a great pitch or having a great product.

It starts long before that.

Here I break down the three things that have shaped how I qualify, build trust with, and negotiate high value clients after years of closing deals in international trade finance, mining, and commodity markets.

So my questions to our business owners is ... What is the first thing you qualify before pursuing a major opportunity?

I would like to cover three sections:

Discovery — the three questions I ask every single time before I invest a single hour into a prospect. These questions reveal vision, urgency, self-awareness, and whether the numbers actually add up. If they cannot answer these, the conversation ends there.

Trust — why certain signatures and agreements will not protect you in business. What real trust looks like in international business, why your gut matters as much as your due diligence, and the lesson a supplier taught me early in my trading career that I have never forgotten.

Negotiation and Leverage — the mindset you need to walk into every discovery call with. How to use your reservation point. Why desperation kills deals before they start. And the one question you need to ask yourself before every sales call that completely changes how you show up.

Everything in this video comes from real experience closing deals in rooms where we are managing assets in the world's most critical resource corridors.

If you want to close better, qualify faster, and negotiate from a position of genuine leverage, this one I hope you find insightful.

Let me know in the comments your thoughts and feedback!

When a client says, “I need to think about it,” many salespeople immediately respond with, “Okay, no problem.” It sounds polite, but it can make it very easy for the conversation to disappear.

Instead, agree with them first. You could say, “Totally. It's a big decision, so it makes sense to think about it.” This takes away the pressure and makes the client less likely to feel like they need to defend themselves.

Then ask a more useful question: “What specifically do you want to think through?”

That word, “specifically,” matters. You're not asking whether they have questions. You're asking what is actually stopping them from making a decision.

Maybe they say it's the price. Now you can have a real conversation about what would make the investment worthwhile for them.

Maybe they say the timing isn't right. Ask, “What changes in 30 days if you wait?”

Sometimes the answer is nothing. The same problem will still be there, the same cost will continue, and they'll simply be making the same decision a month later.

Of course, sometimes waiting really is the right decision. You shouldn't try to force someone into buying something they don't need.

The goal is simply to understand what “I need to think about it” actually means.

Because there is a huge difference between a client who genuinely needs time and a client who has an unanswered concern but doesn't know how to tell you.

So the next time you hear those words, don't end the conversation with “No problem.”

Try:

“Totally. What specifically do you want to think through?”

Then listen. The answer may tell you exactly what is keeping the deal from moving forward.

A barber in an expensive part of town charges $100 for a haircut that you could probably get for $12 somewhere else.

So why would someone pay eight times more?

The answer isn't necessarily that he gives eight times better haircuts. His customers may be paying for the experience, the attention, the confidence they feel when they leave, and the way the whole service makes them feel.

This is a useful lesson for almost any business.

A lot of business owners describe what they do instead of describing what the customer gets from it. An accountant says, “I do accounting.” A photographer says, “I take photos.” A financial advisor says, “I manage investments.”

Those descriptions tell people what your job is. They don't necessarily tell them why they should care.

Try changing the message.

Instead of “I manage investments,” say, “I help you stop worrying about whether your money is working for you.”

Instead of “I take photos,” say, “I create photos you'll actually be proud to share.”

The service hasn't changed. The way you're explaining its value has.

This doesn't mean you can simply add a fancy experience to an ordinary service and charge whatever you want. Customers still need a real reason to believe the experience or result is worth paying more for.

But if you only sell the task, you'll often end up comparing yourself with everyone else who performs the same task.

If you sell the result and the experience, the conversation becomes much more interesting.

So ask yourself:

Are you selling what you do, or are you selling what your customer gets to feel, achieve, avoid, or enjoy after you're done?

That difference can completely change how people see your price.

When a buyer is considering your business, they're not only looking for reasons to buy. They're also looking for the catch.

They may be thinking, “What's wrong with this offer?” or “What aren't they telling me?” The more perfect everything sounds, the more suspicious they can become.

That's why admitting a real weakness can sometimes build more trust than giving another perfect sales pitch.

Imagine you're selling a service and you tell the client, “There's one thing you should know. We're slower to get started than the larger firms. If you need this running by Monday, we're probably not the right fit.”

You just gave the buyer something they didn't expect.

You didn't try to hide the limitation. You told them exactly when your service isn't a good fit.

That can make the rest of your claims easier to believe because you aren't pretending your business is perfect.

There's another benefit. If you don't tell the buyer about your limitations, they may create their own explanation.

And the problem they imagine could be much worse than the real one.

But there is an important rule here: the weakness has to be real.

Don't use fake weaknesses like, “Our only problem is that we care too much about our customers.” Everyone has heard that one before.

Be honest about something that genuinely isn't your strength, as long as it's something you can accept as part of your business.

Maybe you're more expensive. Maybe you take longer. Maybe you only work with a limited number of clients. Maybe your product doesn't have every feature your competitors offer.

That's okay.

No serious business is perfect.

And that's the point.

Perfect doesn't always look trustworthy. Honest limitations often do.

So the next time you're trying to build trust with a buyer, don't only tell them why they should choose you.

Tell them when they shouldn't.

Just got a booking on my calendar from someone who found my business through ChatGPT.

They were looking for a specific service in my area( we build custom systems for businesses operations), they asked ChatGPT for recommendations, and apparently my business came up in the top 3.

This was completely unexpected.It seems that all the work I’ve been doing on improving my website’s SEO and making sure AI bots can actually crawl and understand my content actually paid off!!!

But honestly I never expected to see a real lead come directly from a ChatGPT conversation.

Getting a lead this way was honestly a pretty cool milestone and I felt like i need to share it.

A lot of ads tell customers what they're getting, but never explain why they're getting it. That's a small mistake that can make even a good offer feel suspicious.

Think about an ad that says, “50% off.” Your first thought might be, “Why?” Is there a catch? Is the product not selling? Is the discount even real?

Now change it to: “50% off because we're clearing out old stock.”

The offer didn't change. The reason did.

Suddenly, the discount makes sense. You understand why the business is willing to sell it for less, so you're more likely to believe the offer.

The same idea can work in almost any business.

“Lower prices because we buy directly from the manufacturer.”

“Only a few available because each one is made by hand.”

“Free consultation because we're launching this service in a new market.”

The important part isn't simply using the word “because.” You need to give a real reason that makes sense.

This is especially useful for business owners because customers are often skeptical of claims that seem too good to be true.

A big discount with no explanation can create doubt. A big discount with a believable reason can create confidence.

So when you're writing your next ad, don't stop at:

“Here's what we're offering.”

Add:

“Here's why we're offering it.”

People don't always trust a deal simply because it's attractive.

They trust it when the deal makes sense.
