The Power of Confidence in Sales: Why MEDDICC Transforms Your Results

The Tale of Two Salespeople

I once sat in the reception area of a large company, waiting for a sales call with the CEO. Two other salespeople were there for the same opportunity.

One looked nervous—shuffling papers, glued to his phone, radiating uncertainty.
The other was relaxed, confident, and engaging. He chatted with the receptionist and projected energy and positivity.

Later, I learned they were competing for the same deal. Guess who won?

The confident seller.

But here’s the twist: when I asked the manager why, she admitted, “The nervous guy actually had the better offer. But I felt safer with the confident one. It turned out to be a mistake—he overpromised and badly underdelivered.”

The Lesson

Confidence wins deals—but confidence without substance leads to failure.The real key is building genuine confidence through proven methodology and skillful questioning.
