Reverses the pitch
Unsells is the third-person singular of unsell, meaning to reverse a sale or, more commonly, to convince someone against something they were ready to accept.
A bad review can unsell a product; a clumsy pitch can unsell a prospect.
The more he talked, the more he unselled me on the idea.
