Are you a creative business owner who cringes at the thought of sales? In this episode of the Take Your Shot podcast, I sit down with Nikki Rausch, CEO of Sales Maven, to discuss how you can approach selling in a way that feels natural, authentic, and not pushy. Nikki’s expertise in sales and neurolinguistic programming will help you reframe the sales process into something collaborative and confidence-boosting.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• How to reframe sales as a collaborative process rather than a “convincing game”
• The 5-Step Selling Staircase framework for successful sales
• Tips for creating a powerful introduction and making the right first impression
• How to ask the right questions during a discovery call
• Presenting your proposal and closing without feeling awkward or pushy
• The concept of inviting clients to work with you, rather than "selling" to them
