Win Consistently https://a.co/d/0e4l9gwt Most salespeople lose deals long before they ever ask for the close. In this episode of The Entrepreneur DNA, I sit down with Wesleyne Whitaker — a former chemist turned sales strategist — to break down the science and psychology behind consistent revenue. We dive into why scripts are hurting more than helping, why the fortune truly is in the follow-up, and how fear of rejection silently sabotages even talented entrepreneurs. Wesleyne shares how she transitioned from working in a chemistry lab to scaling a struggling sales territory from $50,000 to $500,000 in just one year — without formal sales training. What changed? She stopped focusing on tactics alone and mastered the mindset behind selling.
