Sales gets a dirty scammy rep but the truth is, if you canât sell people you canât help people. Charging people is not immoral, it's required for their success.
If you have a good product or service, you have an obligation to be good at sales. Iâve closed over 2.3 million in sales and only had $7,000 in refunds which is .3% of total sales. Unheard of in my industry.
âIf your product or service is good enough it sells itselfâ is such a lazy approach to business. When it comes to most clietentel, they have limiting beliefs around spending money on themselves, mom's and women especially.
A tip I have for sales that a lot of people miss: bridging the gap. In this episode, I'm going to explain how a lot of people fuck up sales by talking about themselves too much and not enough about solving their potential prospects problems. We'll also talk about what to look out for during the call and how to personalize your program for what they want in real time.

Something recently happened inside my company that inspired this episode and reminded me the value of effective leadership especially in today's age. We had a payment issue for a client which could have derailed their entire experience with us but my team member not only took responsibility but took extreme ownership in owning the mistake and making it right quickly.
This is a testament to hiring value first but also how I show up as a leader and what I instill in my employees. Listen in as I explain more of the story and share 6 ways to improve outcomes through feedback.

Arguably the biggest lesson I've learned about money is the power of investing in yourself and you've probably heard this before but hear me out. When I exited college I had a lot of student loan debt and had a full time job plus 3 different side hustles only to bring home 70k a year. There had to be a different way. This is when I decided to go more than all in and invest in myself with money I didn't have. I had to make this work and I'm here to tell you that was my springboard to my business and my money success. Listen in as I explain the story and what I hope you take away from it.

âA big part of the problem with society is that, instead of fixing our problems, everyone is trying to make enough money so that the problems wonât affect them.â
This quote was a gut punch to me and I had a realization about society that I wanted to talk about in this episode. While the notion of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps sounds good in theory, it simply isn't an option for some and where you start and your access to resources matter. Listen in as I explain my perspective on this issue.

Shorter episode this week on one singular topic but I think it's really important to address because we weren't taught this in school and it's really important for your financial future. If you are putting money into a retirement account or any long or short term investing account, make sure that money is being used to buy stocks so you are participating in the marketplace or that money will just sit there and not gain interest.
While that may sound like common sense, this has been an issue for a few people I've talked to and I'll explain the math and everything else you'll need to know in today's episode.

They say knowledge equals power but after awhile that's simply not true. Applied knowledge is where the power lies and so many women I talk to are not taking the action they need to and are hiding behind the excuse they need more information.
