Why Selling Feels So Personal
Selling your expertise isn’t just about skill. It’s about exposure.
Every proposal, call, or presentation asks you to put your credibility, judgment, and value on the line. That’s why even the most capable professionals hesitate when it’s time to ask for the work.
Common Signs of Sales Anxiety™
Overthinking outreach or avoiding follow-ups
Over-preparing proposals that don’t need more polish…just confidence
Losing energy or clarity when results are uncertain
Equating rejection with self-worth
If you’ve ever experienced any of these, you’re not alone. Sales Anxiety™ is the nervous system’s way of keeping you safe when the outcome feels uncertain.
It’s not a skills gap. It’s an emotional load problem.
The Shift - From Performance to Practice
When you understand what’s happening emotionally, selling stops feeling like performance and starts feeling like practice.
Instead of trying to suppress anxiety, you begin to work with it…turning emotional friction into focus.
Learn how the HOPE Model helps you regulate emotion under pressure so composure becomes something you can build, not fake.
Pause. Breathe. Take the next step toward composure.
Take the Sales Anxiety Index™ to identify your unique pattern and discover which dimensions most affect your confidence.
Sales confidence isn’t something you find...it’s something you build through rhythm, reflection, and regulation.
The Framework
Three frameworks anchor the work:
1. Sales Anxiety Index™
A 7-dimension profile that pinpoints where friction shows up and how to steady yourself when it does.
2. The HOPE Model
Harness • Observe • Practice • Endure a structure for turning anxious energy into action.
3. Sales Agency™
When emotional steadiness becomes visible confidence. We call this state Sales Agency™ which is the ability to act with composure and clarity, no matter the outcome.
Together, these frameworks form the foundation of the Sales Anxiety™ system, a structured, emotionally intelligent way to turn uncertainty into confidence.
What Readers And Clients Say
Our partners are bringing new clients into the firm...and I can attribute almost all of it to the work Colin has done with us.
“I used to convince myself I was being respectful by not following up too soon.
The truth was, I was afraid of being annoying.
I’d send one message, then wait weeks telling myself, ‘They’ll reach out if they’re interested.’ What Sales Anxiety™ helped me see is that silence doesn’t mean rejection. It is just part of the process.
Following up isn’t pestering; it’s professionalism with composure.
Once I stopped equating consistency with annoyance, my confidence and my results, changed completely.”
New Life Care Planners often struggle to explain their value with confidence. Sales Anxiety™ bridges that gap.
Colin captures what so many professionals feel, the hesitation, the fear of being pushy and shows how to move through it with clarity and composure.
Every new Life Care Planner should read this book.”
I own a whole shelf of sales books, but none even came close to this one. Colin has done something really special with this, he connected the dots in a way that I have never seen before.
