Sales Psychology Training
Sales Psychology Training
Location: Sydney
Ever walked away from a sales conversation wondering why it went sideways? You said all the right things, had the perfect pitch, but somehow the client just wasn't buying it. Trust me, I've been there. After twenty years in sales training, I can tell you that most deals aren't lost on features or price - they're lost because we missed what was really going on in the buyer's head.
Here's the thing: every single person who walks through your door or jumps on your call has invisible psychological triggers driving their decisions. They've got fears, motivations, and mental shortcuts they're not even aware of. And if you're still using old-school sales tactics from the 90s, you're basically flying blind.
This isn't about manipulation or sleazy car-salesman tricks. It's about genuinely understanding how people make decisions so you can help them get to the right choice faster. When you understand the psychology behind buying decisions, something magical happens - your conversations become more natural, your clients feel heard, and your close rates improve dramatically.
We'll dig into the real stuff that moves the needle. Like why people say they need to "think about it" when they've already made up their minds. Why some clients become defensive the moment you mention price, while others barely blink at the same number. And why that person who seemed so interested last week suddenly stopped returning your calls.
You'll learn how to read micro-expressions that tell you when someone's genuinely interested versus just being polite. We'll cover the six psychological triggers that influence every buying decision, and more importantly, how to spot which one your client is responding to. You'll discover why asking "What's your budget?" kills deals, and what to ask instead that gets people talking honestly about money.
We'll practice handling the psychology of objections. Because when someone says "It's too expensive," they're rarely talking about the actual price. They're usually saying "I don't see enough value" or "I'm scared of making the wrong choice." Once you understand the real objection hiding underneath, you can address what's actually stopping them.
What You'll Learn
How to identify the six core psychological motivators that drive every purchasing decision and match your approach to what really matters to each client. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to spot whether someone's motivated by fear, status, convenience, or something else entirely.
The psychology behind common objections and how to address the real concern underneath what people are saying. When someone says they need to check with their spouse, you'll know whether that's genuine or a polite way of saying no.
Proven questioning techniques that get people talking about their real challenges and desired outcomes, not just surface-level requirements. You'll learn how to ask questions that make people think "Wow, nobody's ever asked me that before."
How to build genuine rapport quickly by understanding different personality types and communication styles. Some people want all the details, others just want the bottom line - you'll know which approach to use within the first few minutes.
The neuroscience behind decision-making and why people often choose with their emotions and justify with logic later. This changes everything about how you present options and handle resistance.
Practical techniques for creating urgency without being pushy, and how to use social proof and authority in ways that feel natural and helpful rather than manipulative.
The Bottom Line
Look, sales has changed. Buyers are smarter, more informed, and more skeptical than ever. The old scripts and pressure tactics don't work anymore. But when you understand the psychology behind how people really make decisions, you become the kind of salesperson clients actually want to work with. You'll close more deals, but more importantly, you'll close the right deals with people who genuinely benefit from what you're offering. And honestly, that feels pretty good at the end of the day.
This training gives you the psychological insights and practical tools to transform your sales conversations from pitches into genuine problem-solving discussions. You'll leave with a toolkit of techniques you can use immediately, whether you're dealing with hesitant prospects, price objections, or those clients who seem interested but never seem to make a decision.
