Each Sales Wound™ has a different set of symptoms, or a characteristic pattern of how it shows up in our business or in our life. The path of healing our Sales Wounds™ is one of restoring the bone-deep certainty that we are valued, safe & supported at all times and in all ways. I call this the Master Path.
