- You probably got lucky.
You probably got lucky.
You felt good about that call... you shouldn’t have.
Think about the last deal you closed.
The one you felt good about.
Here’s the truth:
You almost lost it.
Probably more than once.
You just don’t know where.
Maybe it was price.
Maybe when they hesitated and you kept talking.
Maybe a question you handled just slightly wrong.
Any one of those moments could’ve killed it.
But it didn’t.
Not because you were smooth.
Because they wanted it bad enough to overlook your mistakes.
If that’s true for the deals you WON…
Imagine what’s happening on the ones you lose.
I learned this the hard way.
60 sales calls. Zero closes.
I thought most of them went fine.
They didn’t.
I was losing control in small moments I couldn’t see.
Cost me thousands—and embarrased the hell out of me with my promotional partner.
So we built Alex the Sherpa.
It doesn’t “analyze your calls.”
It shows you the exact second the deal shifted.
Where you lost control.
Where they pulled back.
Where you killed momentum.
Then it shows you what to say instead.
And lets you practice that moment before your next call.
If you’ve got a recent call—won or lost—send it over.
I’ll run it through Alex ThevSherpa and show you exactly what happened.
Reply with the recording (or transcipt) or a link.
No charge. We’re releasing the beta to a few key people this week, and your input matters.

P.S. The calls you think went well are usually the most broken. Send me the recording or transcript and I’ll show you where you either lost it, or got lucky.
