Sales Scripts: The Fastest Way to Bomb Your Sales Call

The Daily Coaching Hotline With Linda Hayles

Episode Summary:

In this bold and unapologetic episode of The Daily Coaching Hotline, Linda throws the traditional sales call script out the window. She dives deep into why sales scripts don’t work, why they erode trust and how a “doctor’s approach” can transform the way you connect with potential clients.

Linda challenges coaches, consultants, and service providers to stop convincing and start triaging. By treating sales calls as a conversation, not a performance, you’ll discover how to assess whether you can genuinely help someone, build trust faster and attract aligned, committed clients.

If you’ve been relying on rigid scripts that prioritize selling over serving, this episode will open your eyes to a new, authentic way of selling that feels natural, powerful and results-driven.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why sales scripts often kill trust and connection in sales calls.
• The “doctor’s approach” to sales: How to triage, diagnose, and prescribe the right solution for your potential clients.
• Why convincing people to work with you is a recipe for disaster (and what to do instead).
• How to shift from chasing sales to building powerful, trust-based relationships.
• Why showing up with service, not scarcity, is the secret to attracting the right clients.

Key Quotes:

• “Sales scripts turn conversations into performances. I don’t perform, I connect.”
• “If you have to convince someone to work with you, they’re probably not your ideal client.”
• “Sales calls are about diagnosing the real problem and offering a solution, just like a doctor. No scripts required.”
• “Stop chasing people and start attracting the ones who are ready, willing, and aligned.”
• “When you lead with authenticity and service, selling becomes effortless.”
