Welcome back to Side Hustle School! Today’s question comes from Emma in Seattle. She’s trying to find the right balance in her sales efforts and wants to know how many times she should push for a sale before backing off. Emma has been inspired by my books to focus on aligned selling, but she doesn’t want to give up too easily either.

If you’re wondering how to be persistent without being pushy, this episode is for you. Let’s explore some guidelines for knowing when to stop asking for a sale.

What are some guidelines for knowing when to stop asking for a sale? In other words, how can I make sure I’m being persistent … without being pushy?"
