S6E21: Buyers Have Changed — Has Your Sales Strategy Kept Up? with Talica Davies
Sales isn’t broken, but the way people buy has fundamentally shifted. If you’re still using the same playbook from five years ago, chances are you’re feeling the friction. It’s time to rethink your sales strategy.
In this episode, we sit down with Talica Davies, sales strategist and fractional CRO, to talk about what’s actually happening in today’s market. Buyers aren’t ghosting you because they’re rude — they’re drowning in options, AI-driven comparisons, and endless decision loops. The old-school sales tactics of “following up” and “handling objections” aren’t cutting it anymore.
Tune in as Talica shares actionable insights on building trust, navigating longer sales cycles, and creating urgency without relying on outdated “follow-up” and “objection-handling” scripts.
