When it comes to getting your clients to say yes, a shift in mindset and approach is necessary. Instead of focusing solely on closing every sale, adopting a mindset of serving your clients can make a significant difference.

6 strategies to get your clients to say yes:

Serve, don’t sell:

Detach yourself from the outcome of every sale and shift your perspective to one of service. Desperate energy is detrimental to building trust with clients. By seeing sales as an opportunity to serve, you create a more authentic and genuine connection, increasing the chances of a positive response.

Believe in your worth:

Remember that your clients don’t decide your worth; you do. Have confidence in the value you bring to the table. This mindset shift allows you to approach clients with conviction and a genuine belief in the benefits you provide.

Focus on the other person:

During a sales call, prioritize the other person’s needs and interests. It’s not about you; it’s about understanding and meeting their specific requirements. By genuinely listening and addressing their concerns, you create a trusting and collaborative environment.

Empathize and understand their fears:

Instead of being afraid of your clients’ blocks or objections, aim to calm their nervous system by connecting with and understanding their fears. By empathizing and offering reassurance, you create a safe space for them to consider your offering.

Embrace rejection and resilience:

Rejection is a natural part of the sales process. Rather than fearing it, adopt a mindset of abundance and resilience. Healing your inner child and addressing any insecurities can make you more resilient to rejection and enable you to bounce back stronger.

Showcase what you can do for them:

Demonstrate the value you can provide to your clients. Clearly communicate the benefits, solutions, and results they can expect from choosing your product or service. By showcasing what you can do for them, you make it easier for them to say yes.


Getting clients to say yes involves serving, connecting, and overcoming obstacles. Shift your focus from selling to serving, believe in your worth, prioritize the other person’s needs, understand their fears, embrace rejection, and showcase the value you bring. By integrating these strategies into your approach, you can enhance your success rate and build lasting relationships with your clients.
