Summary
Most salespeople think they lose deals in the closing conversation. Jake Stahl says they lose them long before that. Jake is a neuro strategist, CEO of Orchestrate, and author of Own the Room, and he has spent his career studying the behavioral signals buyers send before they go dark. In this episode, he joins Jeb Blount Jr. to break down his STRATA framework and show exactly how to read what buyers are really communicating, how to create the psychological conditions that make people want to say yes, and how to follow up in a way that builds obligation without pressure. If you have ever walked out of a meeting convinced you had a deal and then watched it disappear, this conversation will change how you run every sales interaction from the first touchpoint forward.
