In this episode, you’ll discover why the most powerful thing you can say to a patient might be nothing at all.
It started with one piece of advice from a seasoned VP of sales: “Ask a question, and then just shut up.” Simple, but transformational.
We explore how this counterintuitive approach can change everything—from the way patients perceive your recommendations to the trust they place in you. You’ll see how talking less can actually reveal more, leading to better outcomes, stronger relationships, and fewer missed opportunities.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated watching a patient nod politely and walk away from a solution you know they need, this conversation will give you a new framework—one that taps into human psychology, emotional decision-making, and the subtle art of listening.
Because sometimes, the best way to sell, educate, or inspire action is to stop talking and start hearing what matters most.
