Yes Hunters: When Selling Becomes the Problem

If the Value Whisperer hides their value, the Yes Hunter does the opposite — they push it. Hard.

On paper, Yes Hunters should succeed:
they’re confident, proactive and invested in the outcome.
But the intent behind the pitch is what makes the difference.

Instead of communicating what they want for the audience, Yes Hunters focus on what they want from the audience — approval, agreement, the sale, the yes.

And the more pressure they apply, the more the audience recoils.

Common Yes Hunter behaviours include:

Forcing the belief instead of building it
Filling every silence with more selling
Ignoring objections or listening only to reply
Driving toward their outcome rather than shared alignment

It’s a mercenary mindset — and it’s the reason pitching can get a bad reputation.

But here’s the truth:

You don’t need to push to be compelling.
You don’t need to dominate to be persuasive.
You don’t need the hard sell to create change.

When you shift from winning the room to aligning with the room, everything settles — your tone, your delivery, your posture, and the audience’s willingness to engage.

This module will help you recognise when you’re slipping into Yes Hunter mode and show you how to move into the Missionary Pitching mindset — where clarity does the selling, and alignment does the heavy lifting.

Because the best pitches don’t chase a yes.

They make the decision obvious.
