How To Sell With Total Confidence In Remote Sales

You're losing deals you should be closing. Not because your offer isn't good enough or because the prospect doesn’t have the money. You're losing because they don’t fully trust you.

Every sale comes down to certainty. If a prospect isn't one hundred percent sure that you're the right person to help them, they won’t move forward. That’s why confidence is everything. The moment you hesitate, sound unsure, or second guess yourself, they feel it and start looking for a way out.

In remote sales, this becomes even more important. You’re not meeting face to face, so the way you communicate over the phone or video call has to create that same level of certainty. At The Real Sales Academy, we train sales reps to sell with absolute confidence, control every call, and close deals without resistance. If you're tired of getting ghosted, struggling with objections, or losing deals that should have been yours, here’s how to start selling at the highest level.

Confidence Starts With the First Impression

If you don’t sound like a closer in the first few seconds, you’ve already lost the sale. The way you start a call determines everything. If you hesitate, sound nervous, or come across as unsure, your prospect is going to take control of the conversation.

This is especially true in remote sales. Without body language and in-person energy, your voice and tone carry even more weight. You need to set the tone immediately. When you get on a call, you should sound like someone who already knows they can help.

The best closers don’t waste time trying to impress prospects. They take the lead, set expectations, and establish authority right away. Instead of nervously asking, How are you today? or Is now still a good time?, come in with confidence:

• Hey [Name], let’s get right into it. I want to understand exactly what’s going on so we can figure out if this is a good fit for you.

• Glad we could connect. I know your time is valuable, so let’s jump straight in.

The more confident you sound, the more prospects will trust you. When you control the energy, they follow your lead.

People Buy From the Person Who Makes Them Feel Certain

Most sales reps focus too much on the offer and not enough on themselves. Your prospect isn’t just buying a product or service. They're buying you.

If you don’t believe in what you’re selling, neither will they. If you hesitate when they ask a tough question, they’ll assume you're unsure.

In remote sales, trust is built entirely through how you communicate. The best closers at The Real Sales Academy don’t just answer questions, they handle them with absolute certainty. If a prospect asks, Does this really work?, a weak salesperson will fumble their words or try too hard to prove their point. A confident closer will say:

• Not only does it work, but we’ve helped [success story] go from struggling to making six figures in a few months.

• I wouldn’t be on this call if I didn’t already know this is exactly what you need to hit your goals.

When you sell with confidence, prospects stop questioning you.

Stop Seeking Approval and Start Leading

Most sales reps subconsciously seek approval from their prospects. They adjust their tone, try to sound extra polite, and act like they need permission to sell. That’s exactly why they struggle.

You’re not on the call to be liked. You’re on the call to solve a problem. The best closers don’t beg for the sale, they guide the prospect toward making the right decision.

Instead of saying, Would you be open to hearing more about how this works?, say:

• Here’s what we’re going to do. First, we’ll figure out exactly where you’re stuck. Then, I’ll show you how we’re going to fix it.

Instead of asking, What do you think so far?, say:

• This is exactly what you need to hit your goals. Do you see why?

When you stop seeking approval and start leading, prospects follow.

Confidence Makes Objections Disappear

Objections aren’t just about price, timing, or needing to think about it. They happen when a prospect doesn’t fully trust you yet. If you’re confident, most objections disappear before they even come up.

When a prospect says, I need to think about it, weak salespeople panic. They try to overcome the objection by convincing the prospect why they should move forward. A confident closer says:

• Got it. What’s holding you back from making a decision right now?

• You don’t seem uncertain about the offer, you seem uncertain about your next move. What’s really going through your head?

Confidence turns objections into conversations. And when you're in control of the conversation, closing becomes easy.
