Weekly Alluviance #81: The Energy of Alignment in Sales: Finding Your Flow
Your weekly dose of Alluviance!
There’s a moment in sports when everything just clicks. If you’ve ever played golf or baseball, you know what I’m talking about -- that perfect swing. The kind where the club or bat meets the ball in pure, effortless flow. There’s no overthinking, no second-guessing. It’s just you, your body, and the motion working in harmony. The result? A beautiful, powerful connection that sends the ball soaring exactly where you intended. That’s what it feels like to be in true alignment.
Now, imagine bringing that same energy into your sales process.
When you’re in alignment with your vision, your purpose, and your actions, selling becomes more than just a series of tasks. It transforms into an experience of flow. You’re not forcing anything or trying to make something happen. Instead, you’re moving with intention, your conversations and pitches flowing naturally from one moment to the next.
This is the energy of alignment -- where every interaction feels almost effortless, and each step you take brings you closer to closing the deal with precision and ease. Your clients feel it too. They can sense when you’re in the zone, completely present, and genuinely connected to your work. This authenticity and ease make your sales process not just effective, but magnetic.
Alignment in sales is also your secret weapon and competitive advantage.
Imagine you’re going head-to-head with a competitor in a sales process. You’re fully in the zone -- aligned, focused, fully present, and effortless flow. Your calls with the prospect are smooth, engaging, and productive. Your competitor, on the other hand, is out of sync. They show up scattered, trying to piece things together, and it shows. They’re forcing the conversation, struggling to connect, and their energy is inconsistent.
We know who wins this sale. Every. Single. Time.
This is the competitive advantage of alignment in sales. It’s not just about having the best pitch, the most polished presentation, or even the best product. It’s about showing up with energy that’s congruent with your goals and actions. It’s about being in flow, where every word and action feels natural, connected, and powerful.
Quick questions to close: on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being that absolute perfect swing, where would you rank your alignment and flow in your sales process? And if it's anything less than a 10, why the hell aren't you
