Exit Strategy · From the ConvoControl Series
The Conversations That Got Me Out Alive.
The decision to leave is the starting line. Everything after it is a negotiation.
What do you do in the months between knowing you have to go and actually being gone? Tara spent years teaching salespeople how to read a room, control their volume, ask instead of tell, and protect information like leverage. Then she used every piece of that system to leave a dangerous marriage safely. This is that system, written for the highest stakes there are. Not advice from a distance. What she actually did.
- Read the room before you speak. Why reacting to the feeling telegraphs everything, and what to do instead.
- Control your volume first. Ask, don't tell. The two skills that keep a conversation from turning.
- Know what you will not say. Living two lives at once without giving your plan away.
- Build your exit team. Independence is infrastructure. The practical chapters: people, money, documents, timing.
- When the pressure spikes, the objection deck, and the closing conversation. What to say, what to hold, and what comes after the deal closes.
