93: Not a Natural at Sales? Here’s Why You Don’t Need to Be and How Sales Skills Can Be Learned by Anyone


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like sales just isn’t your thing? Maybe you’ve convinced yourself you’re not outgoing enough, not persuasive enough, or just not a “natural salesperson.” If so, you’re not alone—but I’m here to tell you that sales isn’t about having a certain personality or being born with a gift. It’s a skill anyone can learn.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey—from struggling with a stutter to achieving a 96% close rate in my wedding business—and how I discovered that sales is all about strategy, not personality. We’ll break down the unique strengths that come with NOT being a “typical” salesperson, and how those traits can actually give you a massive advantage.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why listening and empathy are two of the most powerful tools in sales.
✨ How introverts excel at building deeper, more meaningful connections.
✨ Why thoughtful, patient decision-makers create the best client experiences.
✨ The importance of delivering what you promise and how it sets you apart in an industry focused on flashy, over-the-top moments.

Plus, I’ll introduce actionable steps to help you start learning and practicing sales strategies that feel authentic and effective.

If you’re ready to turn sales into a skill you feel confident about, tune in now!
