Deep dives

Recognizing Overselling Behavior

Overselling occurs when one sells too aggressively, pushing too hard and trying to convince excessively. This behavior stems from a lack of confidence in oneself, the offer being made, or the client's needs. An example highlighted was overselling during client consultations, where rather than coaching and asking meaningful questions, one resorts to dominating the conversation, doing all the talking, and explaining excessively, missing the opportunity to understand the client's objections and concerns.
