Why Humans
Resist Change
We discussed the core principles of sales psychology, including loss aversion (losing $1 hurts twice as much as gaining $1), the brain’s uncertainty response, ego and identity threats, and the proven strategies to remove resistance instead of pushing harder. We also covered real case studies showing how understanding psychology closes deals in days, not months.
The problem isn’t your offer, it’s human psychology. In this episode, join business advisers John W. Sbrocco and Craig Lack as they explore the core reasons clients resist change and give you a practical framework to overcome objections and finally get them to say “yes.”
