Has this ever happened to you?

from Read the Room with Rich · host Rich Patterson

Ever walked out of a sales call sure you crushed it, then got ghosted a week later? Rich has too. That question, why smart buyers make the decisions they make, is what Read the Room is all about.In this intro episode, host Rich Patterson lays out what this show is and why he built it. After 20+ years in sales and 14+ coaching teams, he stopped trying to understand the company and started understanding the person, because companies don't make decisions, people do. That obsession became Buyer Coding, the framework he now teaches and trains.This is a sales podcast, but not the usual one. It's about buyer psychology, decision making, leadership, marketing, and why deals really stall or close. Rich sits down with the CEOs, founders, and sales leaders you actually pitch, so you learn how they think, what keeps them from saying yes, and what makes them respond.If you sell, lead, or just love figuring out how people make decisions, hit subscribe.
