What if the secret to booking more clients isn’t a new script—but giving your sales process the time and trust it actually needs?

In this episode of Anti-Sleaze Sales, I sit down with coach Sandy Patterson to talk about the long game of ethical sales: building trust, allowing leads the space to decide, and why discovery calls can actually be supportive—not sleazy—when done right.

You’ll learn:

• Why today’s sales cycles take longer (and why that’s not a bad thing)
• Practical ways to nurture leads without feeling pushy or spammy
• How to detach from “no” (or “not yet”) so you can keep showing up
• Why discovery calls can be a service—not a pressure tactic
• What really counts as revenue-generating activity (and how to focus there)
• How to choose sales strategies you’ll actually stick with

If you’ve ever felt pressured to close fast or ashamed you “still need” discovery calls, this conversation will make your nervous system exhale—and your pipeline healthier.
