#518 - 5 Terrifying Sales Ghosts That Will Haunt Your Quota | Halloween Special

This Halloween, the 30 Minutes to President’s Club crew takes you inside the haunted house of sales — where deals disappear, demos die, and negotiations bleed revenue. Nick, Armand, and Steve break down five sales ghosts that secretly destroy your pipeline and show you exactly how to exorcise them using elite B2B sales tactics, closing frameworks, and storytelling mastery.

If you’re serious about hitting quota, closing complex deals, and running world-class discovery and demos, this spooky special is your sales survival guide.

The 5 Sales Ghosts (and How to Defeat Them):

1. The Surface-Level Spirit: Your deal vanishes because you’re only finding small annoyances, not six-figure business problems that matter to executives.
2. The Hypnosis Demo: Feature-dumping kills attention — learn how to demo through stories that emotionally hook buyers and make them see their future state.
3. The Single-Threaded Specter: Depending on one champion is a death sentence. Multithread your deals and get power involved early.
4. The Negotiation of a Thousand Cuts: Every tiny discount, seat, or billing term slices your margin. Follow Armand’s 6-step framework to negotiate once and win big.
5. The Vendor Review Pit of Despair: IT and Legal can bury your deal alive. Run parallel reviews, set “redline deadlines,” and use mutual action plans to hit close dates.
