Show Notes
🔥 Opening Hook
Your most talented rep is brilliant with homeowners—but can’t seem to keep up with the “simple stuff.” What if the problem isn’t motivation… but neurology?
In this powerful episode of the Sales Psychology Series, we pull back the curtain on what’s actually happening when gifted salespeople drop the ball—and how to coach them to consistent, empowered performance.
🎯 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why traditional accountability structures can fail neurodivergent reps
- The neuroscience of motivation, executive function, and momentum
- How to create “sales anchors” that support focus and confidence
- A complete 3-part structure for coaching reps with ADHD, AuDHD, or Autism
- Real-world tools you can use today: visual checklists, autonomy prompts, and daily reset rituals
📚 Book Recommendation
