We will publish our old shows as episodes and then move to a serial podcast.

The Sandler Training Hour
Sales Performance: Money Tolerance & Mental Presence and How Limiting Beliefs Undermine Outcomes
Every salesperson runs on scripts—internalized beliefs and stories about money, people, and success. In this episode, Jim and Jason shine a light on two critical scripts that silently derail performance:
- Money Tolerance: Your internal beliefs about what you can afford often cap what you believe others should pay. If you're uncomfortable with large numbers, you’ll unconsciously soften your ask.
“You’ll never ask someone to spend more than what you’re comfortable spending yourself.”
- Mental Presence: Your ability to stay emotionally engaged in a sales conversation often depends on how quiet—or loud—your internal script is. When you’re in your head, you’re not in the room.
“Presence isn’t just listening—it’s freedom from the noise in your own head.”
These attitudes aren’t fixed traits; they’re rewritable. When you change the script, you change your performance.
