In sales, people talk about businesses falling into two main categories: hunters and farmers. Each approach has its strengths, but we’ve realized that we use a third, less-talked-about category: trappers.
You know the old story—the one where someone, usually with a tortured expression, says, “No matter what I say, don’t let me out of this room.” It’s a clear warning. They know what’s coming. And yet, when the full moon rises, the pleading begins.

Working with hundreds of potential clients over the years, I’ve learned that reaching an agreement requires both timing and confidence. When a conversation is going well, you must recognize it and lead the client to the next steps without over-explaining.
