Are you talking to your buyer—or just talking at them? In this episode, we’re diving deep into emotional fluency—the unsung skill that makes buyers feel seen, safe, and ready to say yes.

If your sales conversations are full of facts, features, and bullet points—but your prospects keep ghosting you—you might be skipping the moment that matters most: the emotional spark that drives the decision.

🎙️ Marla shares how to:

  • Spot subtle emotional cues in buyer behavior
  • Use clarifying questions to invite deeper connection
  • Shift from logic-heavy pitches to identity-driven dialogue
  • Make objections disappear by tuning in sooner

From student housing to insurance to modern coaching—this episode reveals the one consistent skill that changed everything.

Quote to remember:
“Emotion makes the sale. Logic keeps it on the shelf.”
