Most salespeople kill their deals without even realizing it…

They feature-dump their way into irrelevance. They think rattling off specs will impress prospects, when in reality, it’s the fastest way to bore them and lose the sale.

Here’s the truth: features don’t sell…stories do.

That’s why in this episode of The Sales Machine Podcast, I sit down with Stephen Steers, sales expert and author of Superpower Storytelling. We break down exactly how to ditch feature dumping and start selling with stories that stick.

👉 If you’re tired of long sales cycles, ghosted follow-ups, and deals dying in the pipeline, this episode is your fix. And if you’re ready to build a sales system that actually performs, book a call with The Sales Machine team today.

  • Why feature dumping destroys trust and how to avoid it
  • The storytelling frameworks that win deals in 2025
  • How to run discovery calls that uncover why people actually buy
  • Why most startups fail at sales (hint: it’s not their product)
  • Practical ways to coach your reps to sell with impact, not info overload

Tune in now to How to Sell Without Feature Dumping (The Storytelling Fix) | ft. Stephen Steers.
