Strange Neuroscience Research Shows Coaches How To Close 5 More Deals Per Month, By Talking To The "Other Side of The Brain”

- “Rated 4.9/5 by early readers”

THE BUYER'S MIND

Joshua Whitlock leads a new, counterintuitive wave of high performance research that flies in the face of everything we thought we knew about “buyer psychology”.

“In less than one year, I was able to go from DM'ing people for testimonials, to becoming a professional speaker on stages in America, Europe, and Asia, with a conversion rate of 50%. The communication techniques are at play at every stage of business, as I use them not only to sell, but to get booked on stages, speak, and coach.”

Santana

“The progression and learning I've experienced in the first couple of weeks has been absolutely exponential. Every time I talk to someone I'm able to talk to all parts of their brain and understand the root desires they're coming from.”

You're brilliant at what you do. Your clients achieve transformations they never thought possible. They refer friends and colleagues because your work genuinely changes lives.

Yet when you try to explain your value to prospects, something goes wrong. Despite your expertise, credentials, and proven track record, potential clients seem hesitant. They ask for more information, want to "think about it," or simply disappear after initial conversations.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and you're not broken.

The problem isn't your expertise. It's not your pricing. It's not even your market.

The problem is you're speaking to the wrong part of their brain.

The problem is you're speaking to the wrong part of their brain.

The Shocking Truth About How People Really Buy

Here's what most coaches believe about their prospects: "If I just explain my value clearly enough, if I show them the logical benefits of working with me, they'll naturally want to buy."

This belief seems reasonable. After all, you're offering genuine transformation. Your methods work. Your clients get results.

But this belief is based on a dangerous myth.

Neuroscience research reveals a shocking truth: 95% of buying decisions are made unconsciously, by a part of the brain that doesn't respond to logic, features, or benefits the way you present them.

While you're crafting logical arguments about ROI and listing your certifications, your prospects' brains have already decided whether you're worth their attention. And no amount of rational explanation can override that initial unconscious verdict.

Why Traditional Marketing Fails Transformational Services

For decades, coaches have been taught to market with features, benefits, and rational arguments. This approach works for selling commodities—products where decisions are purely functional.

But transformational services operate in an entirely different psychological landscape. When someone considers investing in coaching, they're not just buying a service; they're contemplating becoming a different version of themselves.

This triggers complex emotional and neurological processes that logical arguments cannot influence.

See, I was just like you

...Back in 2017, I was a promising rugby player with a scholarship to one of the top colleges in the UK. Then, disaster struck. Multiple knee injuries ended my athletic career, and I became a personal trainer.

When the pandemic hit, I went online like everyone else. I believed expertise was enough. I had studied everything about fitness and transformation, had the passion and knowledge to change lives.

But I was dead wrong about how business actually worked.

For months, I was trapped in "The Expert's Echo Chamber"—impressing people who already knew what I knew, while remaining invisible to those who desperately needed my help.

The breaking point came on November 24th, 2021.

I was down to £96 in my bank account. My last three "sure thing" prospects had ghosted me after what I thought were perfect consultations. Sitting in my grandmother's spare bedroom, I faced a terrifying reality: being right about transformation meant nothing if I couldn't help people recognize they needed it.

That night, I called my mentor Paul Counsel. He said something that changed everything:

"Josh, you're trying to convince the logical brain while people make decisions with their emotional brain. You're speaking to the wrong part of their mind entirely."

He introduced me to Decision Science—the neuroscience research showing that 95% of buying decisions happen unconsciously, not through logical evaluation.

Everything I believed about communication was backwards.

Within six months, I'd completely rebuilt my approach. That's when I realized I'd discovered something bigger than marketing techniques—I'd found the hidden language of human decision-making.

The Decision Science Revolution...

Over the past two decades, advances in brain imaging technology have revolutionized our understanding of decision-making. We can now watch in real-time as brains process information and make choices.

What these studies reveal challenges everything traditional marketing teaches:

When presented with a buying decision, the brain doesn't carefully weigh pros and cons. Instead, the ancient decision brain—the part responsible for survival and resource allocation—makes an instant assessment based on six specific elements.

If any element is missing or misaligned, the brain defaults to "no" before conscious evaluation even begins.

This isn't theory. This is observable, measurable neuroscience being used right now by Fortune 500 companies to create predictable buying behaviors.
