The Future of Sales Is Energetic: Why Manipulative Tactics Are Dying Out
Saturday, June 07 | By: Bonnie Sorsby
We’re Not Meant to Sell That Way Anymore
There’s a shift happening.
If you’ve felt repelled by high-pressure sales, countdown timers that reset every 15 minutes, or coaches who promise overnight results with fake urgency—you’re not alone. These tactics aren’t just outdated... they’re energetically misaligned.
As we approach 2027 and enter the era of the Sleeping Phoenix, a massive collective transition is unfolding. One that favors sovereignty, integrity, and inner authority over external validation and manipulation.
The future of sales is based on resonance, not pressure. Read this blog post on the Sleeping Phoenix Era, that speaks to the future of business and work if you're curious.
What We’re Leaving Behind: The Old Sales Paradigm
Let’s name it. Here are just a few examples of what’s no longer in energetic integrity:
- Fake scarcity (“Only 3 spots left!” when you know you’ll take 10 more)
- High-pressure DMs (“This price expires in 2 hours, are you in?”)
- Shaming potential clients for not investing
- Leading with pain points to trigger insecurities
- Creating urgency through fear rather than clarity
These tactics rely on manipulation, not magnetism. They take advantage of doubt and override a person’s intuitive knowing.
That’s not just bad marketing, it’s karmic entanglement.

Let’s Talk Karma, Because Energetics Have Receipts
Everything we put into the world has a frequency. When you build a business on tactics rooted in fear, control, or deceit... even subtly... it creates energetic residue that will surely come back around.
That might look like:
- Clients who ghost, demand refunds, or don’t get results
- Business plateaus despite “doing all the right things”
- Burnout from constantly needing to convince or perform
On the flip side, when your offers are built in integrity and your marketing is rooted in truth, your business becomes magnetic. You don’t need to chase clients, they recognize the purity of your energy and come forward on their own.
Struggling to attract clients? This blog post breaks down how energetics may be at play.
The Era of the Sleeping Phoenix Where Sovereignty is Rising
The Human Design shift of 2027 marks a transition from tribal, survival-based systems to individual sovereignty.
That means:
- People will be far less tolerant of coercion, manipulation, and one-size-fits-all promises
- Truth, resonance, and transparency will be the new currency
- Your frequency (not your funnel) will determine your success
If you’re building a soul-led business, this is your permission to stop performing. You don’t need to push, fake urgency, or convince. You need to be clear, grounded, and aligned.
What Is Energetic Selling?
Energetic selling is the idea that people don’t just buy products or services, they buy into energy, alignment, frequency, and resonance.
It’s less about persuasion and more about magnetism.
Instead of relying on manipulation, scarcity, or pressure, energetic selling invites you to:
- Show up in full alignment with your truth
- Create offers that feel expansive and exciting to you
- Trust that the right people will feel that alignment and respond to it
🌀 Core Principles of Energetic Selling
-
You go first.
You have to believe in what you’re selling. Energetic congruence happens when your words, actions, and emotions are in alignment. People feel that. If you’re unsure, disconnected, or trying to force an offer that no longer lights you up, it shows. -
Energy is the real strategy.
Yes, strategy matters. But strategy without energetic alignment feels hollow. When your energy is clear and grounded, even simple strategies work better. When your energy is chaotic or resistant, even the most “proven” tactics fall flat. -
Selling is service.
Reframe selling as a sacred exchange. You’re not “taking” money, you’re offering transformation, support, beauty, value. When you truly believe in the impact of what you offer, selling becomes an invitation, not a transaction. -
Magnetism > convincing.
Your job isn’t to force anyone to buy. Your job is to be clear, available, and excited. Let your resonance speak louder than any pitch. -
Clarity is energetic.
The more clearly you articulate what you’re offering, who it’s for, and what they’ll walk away with, the easier it is for others to say yes. Fuzzy energy = fuzzy results.
What Energetic Selling Actually Looks Like In Practice
- Creating offers that feel alive in your body
- Speaking to possibility, not pain
- Trusting people to make decisions on their own timeline
- Being transparent about pricing, availability, and delivery
- Setting your prices based on value and resonance, not just market comparison
- Speaking from experience and personal truth instead of trying to sound “expert enough”
- Letting your lived experience and presence do the heavy lifting
At the end of the day, energetic selling is about holding space, not just closing deals.
A Few Energy Checks for Your Next Offer
- Am I lit up by this offer, or am I just trying to sell something?
- Do I believe in the transformation or value I’m offering?
- Is the price aligned with what I know this is worth?
- Is there anything I’m holding back or afraid to say about this?
You Don’t Need To Manipulate to Succeed in Business
Your energy is your strategy. And when you’re clear, honest, and deeply rooted in your own values, you become a lighthouse for those you’re meant to serve.
The more we honor our own alignment, the more we invite others to do the same.
Let’s build businesses that don’t just sell, but heal, elevate, and awaken others to their fullest expressions.
