What Is a Container (and Why Every Sale Needs One)

Energy-Driven Sales Series – Episode 2

If you've ever felt like the buyer ran the show, the energy was off, or the conversation fell flat… this episode is for you.

In part two of the Energy-Driven Sales series, Sam Wakefield introduces a powerful yet often overlooked skill in sales: the container. This invisible element either creates trust and flow—or chaos and resistance. And whether you realize it or not, you're already setting one… the question is, are you doing it intentionally?

This episode breaks down what a container really is, how it works, and why it’s the foundation of every high-trust, high-conversion sales conversation. Sam also shares real stories from the field, actionable tips for setting the space, and the brain science behind how to lead the room like a true pro.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

What a container is and how it shapes every sales interaction
The 3 types of containers: physical, emotional, and verbal
Why mirror neurons and nervous system cues impact trust
How to regulate your energy to guide the buyer’s mindset
How to shift from accidental to intentional influence
Practical language and posture tips to take control with confidence
