Learn Speak Teach Episode #162 with Aleasha Bahr on the Real Business Connections Podcast.

Sales does not have to feel pushy, fake, scripted, or aggressive.

In this episode, Ben Albert sits down with Aleasha Bahr, founder of Black Sheep Sales, to talk about alternative ways to win clients without acting like a douche. Aleasha helps entrepreneurs, business owners, and sales professionals grow by selling in a way that actually fits their personality, values, and strengths.

Aleasha breaks down why every personality can be great at sales, why introverts often make incredible salespeople, and why sales is really about curiosity, empathy, passion, and fit. Instead of forcing people through a script or “overcoming objections” like a battle, Aleasha shows how better questions, honest conversations, and clear expectations can create more trust and better clients.

Ben and Aleasha also talk about rejection, bad-fit clients, deliverables vs. results, customer retention, sales positioning, and why being willing to repel the wrong people can actually help you attract the right ones.

If you want to grow your business, win more clients, and sell with confidence without becoming someone you’re not, this Black Sheep Sales conversation is for you.
