What to do when someone tells you “they can’t afford it, or now isn’t the right time,” a full step-by-step sales call role-play EP074


Do any of these sounds familiar? “I don’t have the money right now,” “Oh wow, that’s expensive!” “Now isn’t a good time for me financially.”

If you have a business of any kind, you likely have heard these “excuses” at nauseam. If you haven’t heard them, then you have a different issue of not attracting enough ideal clients to you and getting them on a damn call. You need to DM me STAT.

Most sales calls die the moment someone says a version of the excuse, “I can’t afford it.” I use the word “excuse” because that’s all it is. When someone no matter how broke they are REEEEAAAALLLY want a problem they have to be solved or relieved, they will find the money.

When they believe you have the solution to their problem, they will find the funds.

So either you A, didn’t connect their problems with your solutions, or B, you lost your shiz when they started talking about money and didn’t know how to handle it. Maybe you felt bad or pushy saying anything after they told you they were broke…I get it, but look at it this way, you are doing them a disservice by allowing the conversation to stop at their first or even second excuse.

Listen and learn as I take you through a full role-play on how to handle the common money objections.

Ep 787 Why Your Quantum Jump Isn’t Making You Next Level Money Yet

You feel the shift. You see the signs. You know something is changing… but your income hasn’t caught up.

If you’ve been deep in manifestation, personal growth, and mindset work but still aren’t making more money or seeing results in your business, this episode will show you exactly why.

There’s a gap between feeling a quantum jump internally and actually translating that into income, visibility, and business growth. Most people stay stuck here—consuming content, recognizing patterns, and doing the inner work—without ever turning it into something that makes them money online.

In this episode, Tiffany breaks down what quantum jumping really means in practical terms, why manifestation alone doesn’t create financial results, and how fear of being seen, nervous system responses, and lack of execution block your next level. You’ll also learn how to turn your personal growth, skills, and lived experience into a personal brand that generates income and creates real momentum in your business.

If you feel like you go all in on your business, build momentum, start seeing things work… and then suddenly fall off, lose consistency, or disappear altogether, this episode breaks down exactly why.

This is not about discipline, motivation, or “getting it together.” What you are experiencing is a predictable behavioral and neurological pattern that most entrepreneurs misdiagnose.

Inside this episode, you will learn what is actually happening in your brain and nervous system the moment you start gaining traction, why visibility and success can trigger resistance, and how this creates a cycle of inconsistency, self doubt, and lost income.

This episode blends neuroscience, psychology, and real world business strategy so you can stop repeating the pattern and start building consistent momentum that leads to results.
