The real reason you feel "salesy" on sales calls

Let’s talk about something most creatives never admit out loud:

👉 You feel salesy when talking to potential clients.

You don’t want to come off as pushy… You don’t want to “chase” anyone… So instead, you just drop your prices in a DM, or send over a link, and hope they say yes.

But here’s the kicker:

That’s actually more salesy.

I was talking to one of our clients, Daniel, about this on a case study call. Before joining our program, he was literally doing what most creatives do:

Sending pricing before even getting on a call

Asking prospects what kind of video they want

Skipping over discovery, diagnosis, and strategy

And then wondering why people ghosted him

Why? Because when you’re doing all the chasing — you’re putting yourself beneath the client.

And here’s the truth: People don’t buy from those they see as below them.

Once Daniel shifted to a choreographed process where leads came to him — pre-qualified, ready to talk — the “salesy” feeling disappeared.

Because he wasn’t selling. He was prescribing.
