Everybody wants in on the BIG Deal, especially management. And while it can feel like too many cooks in the kitchen, shared ownership done right actually reduces stress. It builds trust, surfaces risks early, and gives you the best shot at maximizing the opportunity. The trick is to take control and manage up so you are spending less time internally vs working on making the deal happen with your client.

How sales people handle objections greatly influences if they win or lose. In this power-packed fastcast, Stacey and Or break down how to spot the *real* objection, respond with confidence, and move the deal forward without sounding salesy.

What you’ll learn:

- The difference between spoken vs. silent objections (and how to surface the silent ones)

- A simple flow to clarify, validate, and resolve pushback

- Language that keeps authority + warmth so you’re firm, not defensive

Try this today:

- Write down your top 5 recurring objections and the *question* you’ll ask to clarify each.

- Practice your follow-up: “Totally fair, can you say more about that? Why is that?"

💥 If getting the meeting was hard, earning their attention is harder. 💥 Before they even join, buyers are asking: Why should we listen to you? The first five minutes make or break it.

Take a note from the storytellers we all love. Comedians open with a great joke. Bands open with a hit. TV shows use a cold open so you don’t change the channel. Your meeting needs the same discipline.

In this Sales Unfiltered episode, Or Nussbächer (Ran) and I show how to earn attention fast and set up better outcomes (faster decisions, higher win rates).

Why the first five matter: They set the frame. Credibility is judged fast, attention peaks early, and overload loses the room.
