Your First Question Is Losing the Sale (Stop Saying This)

Your first words decide everything. Most salespeople lose the deal before the real conversation even starts because their first question instantly triggers sales resistance. In this training, Jeremy Miner shows why predictable opener questions cause prospects to shut down and how tonality, intention, and pattern interrupts can disarm them from the very beginning. You’ll learn how to avoid low-status sales patterns, lower the nervous system response that blocks honest answers, and create emotional safety in the first five seconds. If you want prospects to open up, trust you faster, and remove the fight-or-flight response that kills deals, this is where it all begins.
