Zen Selling Reflection: Resistance and Flow

Jul 17

I Attract, I Do Not Chase

It was a cool Friday morning. The sky was cloudy. I could’ve jumped into task mode made a round of sales calls, pushed the CRM, and followed the numbers. That’s what most sales training would say: “Stick to the process. Push through.” But instead of following the script, I did something different.

I paused. Tuned in. Felt the energy.

And I heard it, quiet, subtle, but unmistakable: wait.

So I did.

I didn’t chase. I didn’t push. I listened. I honored what I felt. And then, without reaching out, the call came. A large property management company wanted to test us out. Minutes later, a major renewal contract was approved.

Two big wins. Zero forcing. This is Zen Selling in Action.

The Energy of Sales

Zen Selling isn’t about passivity. It’s about precision. It’s the art of knowing when to act and when to allow. It teaches you to trust your inner signals more than your external metrics. Because sales is more than a numbers game, it’s an energy game.

Chasing is what most of us are taught. But chasing often comes from fear, scarcity, and pressure. And people can feel that. Whether consciously or not, they pick up on that urgency, and they back away.

Zen Selling shifts everything. Instead of pushing, you align. Instead of grasping, you serve. Instead of proving, you become present. When you're in that energy, clear, calm, and centered, people naturally lean in. Because they feel safe. Because it’s real.

Alignment Over Activity

One of the biggest misconceptions in business is that more activity equals better results. But not all action is aligned. Not all movement is wise. Some of it is just noise.

Zen Selling teaches you to recognize the difference. It asks: What’s true right now? What’s the most aligned next step? Some days, it’s reaching out. Some days, it’s rest. Some days, it’s just holding space and letting things come to you.

That doesn’t mean you give up on goals. It means you stop abandoning yourself in the name of pressure. It means you stay connected to your truth, your energy, your clients. And from that place, you move. Not out of force. But out of clarity.

Why People Respond to Alignment

When you’re energetically clean, meaning you’re not coming from fear or forcing, people feel it. You’re not trying to “close” them. You’re just showing up in service. You’re offering something real. And in a world full of noise and hard sells, that kind of presence stands out.

Alignment is magnetic. When you stop chasing, you stop repelling. When you start aligning, you start attracting. The right client’s notice. They respond, not because you overwhelmed them with follow-ups, but because something about you felt trustworthy, grounded, and true.

That’s the heart of Zen Selling.

A Quiet Revolution in Sales

This approach flips everything we’ve been taught. It says: You don’t have to hustle your way to success. You don’t have to sacrifice your peace to meet your quota. You don’t have to override your intuition to prove your worth.

You get to sell differently. You get to listen. You get to trust your energy. You get to move when the time is right, and wait when it’s not.

Zen Selling isn’t about doing nothing. It’s about doing the right thing, at the right time, with the right energy. And when you do that consistently, sales become effortless. Not because you’re doing less, but because you’re doing it in alignment.

Final Thoughts

If you’re feeling burned out on traditional sales, or tired of the pressure to “always be closing,” this is your invitation to try a new way. One that doesn’t require you to chase. One that allows you to lead with clarity and integrity. One that lets your energy do the talking.

Zen Selling is more than a method; it’s a mindset. A way of being in your business that creates results from resonance, not resistance.

The more you align, the more you attract.
