Let’s be real: every sales pro has slipped into at least one of the 7 Deadly Sins of Sales. I sure have. I’ve over-talked. I’ve rushed into price. I’ve gotten too friendly and completely sabotaged my authority. And every time, it cost me the sale.

These sins are sneaky. They creep in when you’re nervous, excited, or unsure. They derail deals, weaken confidence, and leave you replaying every word wishing you could redo the call. But here’s the good news: if you can spot the sin, you can stop the sin.

The fastest way to lose a deal? Leave a question hanging. If an objection lingers in your client’s mind, they won’t buy. And blurting out pricing before the value is crystal clear? That’s a revenue death sentence. Clients don’t inherently know why your price makes sense — you must build the value first.

And yes — your clients want to like you, but they need to respect you. Leading like a friend instead of a professional makes pricing feel negotiable. Suddenly, you’re discounting and defending instead of confidently closing. Because if you’re talking more than your client, you’re selling yourself… not the solution.

Sales is a listening game. And if you’re not uncovering a real pain point — a reason to buy today — don’t be shocked when they say they “need to think about it.” Even worse? Waiting until the end to handle objections. By that point, you’re on defense.

The thread that ties all seven sins together? Not listening deeply enough.

When you avoid these traps, selling becomes smoother, stronger, and way more successful. You’ll stop chasing, start leading, and close with authority every single time.

Growing up in a traditional Hispanic household, Jeanette Miranda Davila was taught the “safe path”: go to school, get a stable 9–5, and never risk security. But deep down, she always felt called to something more - something creative, something freeing, something hers.

She chased that calling into the entertainment world, but motherhood shifted her again. She wanted presence, purpose, and a community that didn’t yet exist. So she created one. Rooted In Her was born from her desire to support women navigating life transitions with honesty, vulnerability, and real connection.

But her journey wasn’t linear. After rapid growth (monthly events, community building, countless women served) Jeanette hit burnout. She felt drained, unseen, and taken advantage of. So she stepped back. Prayed. Journaled. Asked herself what she truly wanted.

And the answer was clear: Build a real business. Build her own path.

Leaving Divas Local was her wake-up call. Women weren’t showing up for the brand—they were showing up for her. That realization fueled her comeback.

Today, Jeanette is a paid speaker, community builder, and the visionary behind a thriving membership of women committed to collaboration over comparison. With a growing team and expanding events, Rooted In Her is becoming more than a community, it’s a movement.

Her mission? Inspire women to recognize their worth, break cultural cycles, and embrace bold dreams.

Because when women feel seen, supported, and rooted in who they truly are, anything is possible.

When Snawing Alvarado came to the Bronx from the Dominican Republic at eight years old, he thought snow meant success. Instead, it meant Section 8 housing, roaches, and a basement that smelled like broken promises. The “American Dream” wasn’t what it looked like on TV — it was crowded apartments, tired parents, and the quiet pressure to make it out.

Snawing became the first in his family to graduate college and land a “good job” as an ICU nurse. But three months in, the dream cracked. Long hours. Miserable pay. No freedom. He realized he wasn’t chasing purpose — he was chasing a paycheck.

So he bet on himself. He left nursing, flipped his savings into real estate, and built multiple care homes that now cash-flow over $20K a month. But the bigger the numbers got, the more he realized: money isn’t peace. The grind cost him relationships, sleep, and moments with the people who mattered most.

Today, Snawing’s success isn’t defined by dollar signs — it’s defined by balance. Coaching others, salsa dancing, spending time with family — that’s the real wealth.

Because the American Dream? It’s not free. It’ll take your comfort, your time, and sometimes your heart.

But if you pay the price with purpose, it’s worth every cent.

At 26, Hannah Kesler is teaching entrepreneurs how to build wealth like banks do — by controlling where their money lives. But her story started at Cracker Barrel, not in a boardroom.

Waiting tables at 18, Hannah learned her first business lesson: the harder she worked, the more she earned. That independence became her addiction. When college and accounting didn’t stick, her dad invited her to join The Money Multiplier — starting at the bottom doing paperwork and applications.

Then came her turning point. At 20, she got a last-minute call to replace her dad on stage in Scottsdale — 65 seasoned real estate investors waiting. Nervous but determined, she delivered. That night, she found her passion for public speaking and helping others understand money.

Today, Hannah travels the country teaching Becoming Your Own Banker, a philosophy built on using high-cash-value life insurance to create uninterrupted compounding and total control. Her message? You don’t need to work harder — you need to make your money work smarter.

But her path wasn’t handed down. Working in a family business meant hard lessons, boundaries, and proving she earned her seat. “Family dinners aren’t for business,” she says. “The business can wait.”

For Hannah, wealth starts with mindset. “You’ll never get your time back,” she says. “So take the leap, trust yourself — and get out of your own damn way.”
