Most salespeople are taught about relationship-building strategies. Top performers do something different. In this in-sights episode, Lance Tyson breaks down why rapport, not relationships, is the real driver of trust, momentum, and decisions in modern sales. You don’t need to like every buyer (or be liked by them) to win deals – you need relevance, credibility, and alignment. This episode challenges one of sales’ most common myths and offers a more practical, scalable way to connect with buyers without forcing chemistry.

In this episode of In-Sights, Lance Tyson breaks down one of the core principles behind high-performance selling: selling is an away game. Most salespeople prepare as if the game is played on their terms. But the truth is, every deal is won or lost on the buyer’s field — their needs, their environment, their rules, and their buying process. Lance unpacks what it really means to step into the buyer’s world, how top sellers adapt their approach, and why mastering the “away game” mindset leads to more trust, stronger conversations, and better outcomes.
