High-Ticket Sales Without the Hype: Timeless Strategies from Ben Gay III and Denise Griffitts

Welcome back to The Closers Inner Circle Podcast with me, Denise Griffitts, and my brilliant co-host and mentor Ben Gay III.

Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s been stirring up a lot of conversation behind the scenes: What’s still working in high-ticket sales—and what’s not?

The market is noisy. Flashy funnels, pushy persuasion tactics, and AI-generated scripts are everywhere. But seasoned professionals like Ben know: real selling—the kind that builds trust, delivers value, and closes with integrity—hasn’t changed all that much.

In this episode, Ben breaks down timeless sales principles that still drive results today, the traps he sees people falling into, and why hype will never replace true human connection.

If you're serious about mastering the art of high-trust, high-impact sales in a saturated market, you’re in the right place.

And as always, I highly recommend that you have The Closers Pt 1 and Pt 2 in front of you as we as we dive into this conversation—Ben often references real lessons straight from those pages, particularly Pt 2. You’ll want to follow along and take notes!
