  <title>Overcoming Sales Call Reluctance </title>
  <description>  What really stops salespeople from making the call, asking the question or starting the conversation?   In this episode, Fred talks with Christer B. Jansson about sales call reluctance and why it goes much deeper than simply not wanting to pick up the phone.   They explore the thoughts and behaviours that can quietly limit sales activity, why fear of being “too salesy” can actually make sellers less useful to customers, and why doing lots of activity isn’t enough if the conversations themselves aren’t meaningful.   They discuss:    Why knowing what to do doesn't mean you'll actually do it   The psychology behind sales call reluctance   Why fear of being pushy can hold good salespeople back   The difference between activity and meaningful customer contact   How call reluctance can become part of a sales culture   Why both skills and mindset need attention    A fascinating look at what might really be happening when a salesperson knows exactly what they should do…but still hesitates   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Connect with Christer  ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/christerbjansson  ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Contact: christer@confidentapproach.com  &amp;amp;nbsp;   Follow Fred:  https://linktr.ee/fredcopestake   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Watch this episode on YouTube: &amp;amp;nbsp;https://youtu.be/gKusr1Bdy5w   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Watch Fred’s FREE YouTube Course: Sales Mastery for Engineers:  https://bit.ly/Sales-Mastery-For-Engineers   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Useful resources   Take the Collaborative Selling Scorecard  – free Check how well your sales approach fits today’s buying environment  https://collaborativeselling.scoreapp.com/ </description>
