Which Sales Room Are You Trapped In — and What Superpower Gets You Out?

Sales Experts are natural problem-solvers. We’re at our best when a challenge is on the table and we have to figure out how to unlock it. But let’s be honest—sometimes the sales process feels less like a straight path forward and more like… an escape room.

The pressure is on, the clock is ticking, and you’ve got to find the right clue to move the deal forward. Every conversation, every demo, every objection—it’s all part of the puzzle.

The good news? You already have what it takes to break free. Every SE has their own hidden superpower—a skill or instinct that helps them escape even the trickiest situations.

So, let’s step into the game. Which sales room do you usually find yourself in, and what superpower will get you out?

🔒 The Puzzle Lock Room

The Trap: You’ve laid out all the data. You’ve shown the features, the numbers, the ROI. But no matter how many times you turn the key, the customer still isn’t convinced. The lock just won’t click.

The Superpower: 🧠 Clarity VisionThis is the ability to strip away the noise and make the value crystal clear. It’s not about throwing in more numbers—it’s about telling the story in a way that the customer instantly “gets.” When you activate this superpower, complex problems suddenly look simple, and the path forward is undeniable.

🔒 The Distraction Room

The Trap: You start your demo strong, but soon you’re detouring into every feature the platform offers. The customer’s eyes glaze over as the room fills with clutter. You’ve lost focus, and the door is slipping further away.

The Superpower: 🎯 Laser FocusThis power cuts through the chaos and brings the conversation back to what truly matters to the customer. It’s not about showing everything—it’s about showing the right thing. With Laser Focus, you keep the customer’s attention locked in on the value that solves their specific challenge.

🔒 The Codebreaker Room

The Trap: Objections are flying at you like coded messages. “It’s too expensive.” “We don’t have time.” “I’m not sure it’ll work for us.” Each one feels like a new lock on the door, and you need to crack the code fast.

The Superpower: 💡 Objection AlchemyThis power transforms “no” into “not yet” and eventually into “yes.” It’s the art of reframing objections as opportunities to show more value. With Objection Alchemy, you don’t get stuck—each objection becomes another stepping stone toward the exit.

✨ The Big Takeaway

Every SE gets trapped in one of these rooms now and then—it’s part of the job. But here’s the secret: you already have the superpowers you need to escape. Maybe it’s clarity, maybe it’s focus, maybe it’s people skills, maybe it’s objection handling. Most likely, it’s a mix of all of them.

The key is to recognize which room you’re most likely to fall into and sharpen the superpower that gets you out. Because at the end of the day, sales isn’t about being stuck—it’s about breaking through, moving forward, and unlocking the deal.
