Buyer Resistance Is at an All-Time High with Colleen Stanley
Buyer resistance is higher than ever, and most salespeople are losing deals because they lack the emotional intelligence to push through it. In this episode of the Sales Gravy podcast, Jeb Blount Jr. sits down with Colleen Stanley, Founder of SalesLeadership and author of Emotional Intelligence for Sales Success, ahead of her keynote at Outbound 2026.
Colleen breaks down why delayed gratification, internal locus of control, and assertiveness are the real drivers behind consistent pipeline movement. She also challenges sales leaders to rethink their hiring practices in an AI-driven world — because learning agility and teamwork are now non-negotiable.
