What your prospect hears when imposter syndrome takes the call

You're on a sales call with a prospect who feels too big for you. Maybe it's the company size, maybe it's their sophistication level, maybe it's just that voice in your head telling you that you don't belong in this conversation. That voice isn't just living in your head. It's leaking into your tone, your posture, your energy. And your prospect can feel it. They're about to make a leap of faith with someone, and your self-doubt is making that leap feel risky. The problem isn't that you feel like a fraud. The problem is that it's showing. For consultants who've ever walked out of a sales call knowing the doubt cost them the deal.
